Poppa Quadra

Defined by its robust steel construction, this 1973 Benetti Poppa Quadra represents a classic era of Italian yacht building. Measuring 23.97 meters in length with an overall length of 27 meters and a generous 6.01-meter beam, the vessel offers substantial interior volume for a comfortable cruising experience. The design incorporates an steel hull with aluminum superstructures and a teak-laid steel deck, providing a stable platform at its 11-knot cruising speed. The interior layout consists of 4 cabins and 4 bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to 22 passengers for day trips. The vessel is engineered for endurance, featuring four watertight bulkheads and an organized bilge system where all pumps are configured to function as emergency bilge pumps. The stern platform is also finished in teak, enhancing the aesthetic and functional appeal of the aft deck. Throughout its history, the yacht has undergone rigorous maintenance and upgrades. Significant refits in 1997 addressed systems and equipment, while further structural work in 2003 involved steel plate replacement. Cosmetic maintenance includes a hull and topside paint job performed in 2007. The technical infrastructure has been carefully updated, including a replacement air conditioning system installed in 2008 and the addition of a Mastervolt 24V 100A battery charger in the same year. Additional operational equipment includes a 2008-replaced windlass and a tender crane located on the flybridge, which was overhauled in 2008. The yacht utilizes both 220V and 24V electrical systems, ensuring versatility for onboard appliances and lighting requirements. This used boat is currently lying in Portoferraio, Isola d'Elba, Italy.
