Defined by its distinct aeronautical heritage, the Sai Ambrosini Tiger Shark 55, known as ALALUNGA IX, stands as a rare piece of Italian naval history. Built in 1970, this 16.77-meter aluminum motor yacht is the second and currently only existing hull of this model designed by the visionary Franco Harrauer. Originally stemming from the post-war conversion of the Società Aeronautica Italiana’s aviation expertise, the vessel showcases experimental construction techniques that pushed the boundaries of boat building in its era. Following comprehensive refurbishments in 2017 and 2020, this used boat remains in good condition and is prepared for its next chapter. It is powered by a pair of 425hp CAT engines installed in 1999, which have logged only approximately 300 operating hours. With a beam of 4.62 meters and a shallow draft of 0.7 meters, the design balances historical significance with high-performance capability, making it a notably seaworthy vessel. This specific yacht is ideally suited for those who appreciate classic design combined with the structural integrity of aluminum alloy, a material popularized by the yard’s aviation roots. Given its history and robust build, it serves as an excellent platform for deep-sea sport fishing or as a distinguished cruiser for owners seeking a vessel with a genuine narrative. Currently offered at 79.000 EUR, the price of this vessel has been reduced, and VAT is due on the purchase.
