Expertly crafted by the renowned shipyard, the De Vries Amsterdam Fortuna 46 is a standout for those seeking a heritage vessel with updated performance. This 1968 model underwent a major refit in 2012, which included a full hull sandblasting, replacement of significant portions of the steel plating, and the installation of a new 80 HP Lombardini engine. The deck was also replaced with teak in 2012, ensuring durability and a classic aesthetic.
Equipped for comfortable extended stays, the layout features two private cabins, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The interior climate is managed by a diesel heating system, while the electrical needs are supported by a generator, notably updated with a new unit in 2024. Recent technical maintenance includes new gel batteries installed in 2022 and a full set of sails from 2019, providing a solid foundation for reliable operation.
On deck, this used boat is configured for ease of handling and comfort. The rig features a removable staysail, a steel bowsprit, and a manual mainsail furler. Navigational safety is supported by an integrated Raymarine electronics suite, including GPS, radar, and an autopilot. Additional amenities for life on board include a removable cockpit table, sun awning, and sprayhood, making it ideal for relaxing at anchor or underway.
Located in Italy, this vessel presents a rare opportunity to own a professionally maintained steel classic. The hull was painted in a distinctive Bordeaux color in 2010, alongside a standing rigging overhaul. With the current price reduced, this is an excellent proposition for a discerning buyer looking for a yacht that balances historical character with modern technical updates.
