Overview
"I want a 52-foot Italian open that I can drive myself on a Saturday morning — and still sleep six on a Saturday night."
Who this boat is for
Owners who want a 50-foot Italian open yacht for fast Mediterranean cruising — light enough to drive yourself, finished well enough to host on.
Hisham's take
Built by Cantiere Navale di Santasevera on the Italian coast, the 52 is an open sport yacht designed around the Mediterranean day-cruising brief — fast passage-making, a deck that lives outside, and a finish that holds its own next to Italian flagships twice the price. A 52'10" hull on twin Volvo Penta D6 480 HP shaftlines (IPS650 available) delivers 24–26 kn cruise, ~30+ kn top, with three cabins and two heads below for genuine weekending. Sport, Cruise and HT configurations let the owner tune the boat to the way they actually use it.
