Poppa Quadra

Expertly crafted by Cantieri Navali Benetti of Viareggio, this 1973 Benetti Poppa Quadra represents a timeless example of a classic steel-hull navetta. With an overall length of 27 meters and a beam of 6.01 meters, the vessel features an aluminum superstructure and a robust steel hull, complemented by a teak-covered steel deck. The engineering reflects a high standard of nautical construction, including four watertight bulkheads for enhanced safety at sea. Propulsion is provided by twin Detroit Diesel engines, each delivering 650 HP, allowing for a cruising speed of 11 knots and a maximum speed of 14 knots. The vessel carries a significant fuel capacity of 12,000 liters, making it well-suited for extended passages. The engine room has been meticulously maintained, with the twin Detroit Diesel units currently showing 2,400 hours of operation. Over the decades, this yacht has benefited from a structured maintenance program. Significant restyling and systems upgrades were conducted in 1997, followed by structural hull work in 2003. Recent mechanical and cosmetic improvements include a 2007 hull and topside paint job, a 2008 air conditioning system replacement, and the installation of a new 24V 100A Mastervolt battery charger. Additionally, the bow windlass and tender crane on the flybridge were overhauled or replaced as part of these comprehensive updates. The layout provides generous space for guests with 4 cabins and 4 bathrooms, supported by a maximum capacity of 22 people. Practical features include a teak-finished aft swimming platform and a versatile bilge pump system where all pumps are cross-linked for emergency use. The electrical infrastructure, fully renewed in 2009, supports both 220V and 24V requirements. Currently lying at Isola d'Elba - Portoferraio, Tuscany, this classic motoryacht is available for inspection. Please contact our Porto Cervo agency for further information regarding this vessel.
