The opulent world of the 29.6-metre Amer Yachts motor yacht Debra One has just become more accessible, thanks to a €700,000 price reduction. This coveted boat, which has never seen charted service, is acknowledged to have been meticulously maintained and continuously updated to the highest standards by its passionate owner. It was delivered in 2013 and now has a reduced asking price of €2,200,000 with EU VAT exclusive.
This boat offers the epitome of affluence, with its hull and superstructure crafted in GRP. Stefano Tini has wonderfully designed the interiors with high-gloss wood and natural tones against a backdrop of panoramic windows ensuring that the yacht remains bright and inviting. These details elevate the overall aesthetic of Debra One, proving that every penny of the investment is well worth it.
KKCG Maritime, the ambitious maritime offshoot of Prague-based conglomerate KKCG, has gone all in on its quest for a near-blocking stake in the Italian luxury yacht maker, Ferretti. This savvy move comes as Ferretti finds itself mired in an increasingly complex and politically charged shareholder landscape. Ferretti’s entanglement in the broader scrutiny of Chinese strategic ownership in Italy following recent allegations of espionage ramps up the stakes even further.
Strategically, KKCG Maritime aims to snap up to 52.1 million shares, roughly 15.4 percent of Ferretti’s total share capital. This tactical manoeuvre would nudge KKCG Maritime’s stake from a healthy 14.5 percent to a commanding 29.9 percent, offering the company greater influence in the boardroom, all for a tidy sum of roughly €182.5 million. It’s a high-risk bet that could pay off handsomely.
