Princess Maela is a rare opportunity to acquire a classic gentleman’s yacht, combining timeless pedigree, enduring character and modern comfort. Built in steel in 1962 at the Secni shipyard in Marseille, this distinguished 28.8-metre yacht has been meticulously maintained and extensively refitted throughout her history, with the latest refit completed in 2026. Presented in pristine condition and with VAT paid, she offers an exceptional proposition for a discerning buyer seeking a yacht with genuine heritage and lasting appeal.
Originally launched as a whaling ship, Princess Maela was transformed into an elegant luxury yacht in the 1970s at the prestigious Comitti shipyard in Como. A comprehensive refit at the Lavagna shipyard in 2004, followed by further significant refits in 2016, 2020, 2022 and 2026, has ensured her continued evolution while preserving the distinctive character of her original design. Stabilisation further enhances comfort on board, making her equally suited to relaxed coastal cruising and extended Mediterranean adventures.
Across four well-appointed decks, Princess Maela offers generous accommodation and versatile living spaces. The lower deck features four double cabins, each with a private en-suite bathroom, providing comfortable accommodation for family and guests.
The main deck saloon combines a warm, sophisticated atmosphere with dedicated lounge and dining areas, while the flybridge features an additional lounge, an enclosed TV room and a bathroom, with the flexibility to convert into an extra double bed if required. Her exterior spaces are equally impressive. The spacious aft deck is ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the sundeck offers a dedicated lounge, minibar and a jacuzzi newly installed in 2026. A panoramic bow sunbathing area completes the outdoor layout, creating multiple spaces to relax and enjoy life on the water.
With her extensive refit history, pristine condition and VAT-paid status, Princess Maela represents a compelling opportunity to own a yacht that balances classic maritime heritage with the comforts and practicality expected today.
