Discover the Amalfi coast in true style with Princess Maela, a classic gentleman’s yacht where pedigree meets modern luxury. Built in steel in 1962 at the Secni shipyard in Marseille, this distinguished 28.8 metre vessel embodies decades of seafaring heritage. Since then, she has received continuous upgrades, with dedicated mini refits each winter and a full crew all year round.

Originally launched as a whaling ship, she was transformed in the 1970s into an elegant luxury yacht at the prestigious Comitti shipyard in Como, beginning her refined life on the water. A comprehensive refit in 2004 at the Lavagna shipyard brought Princess Maela to contemporary standards while preserving her unmistakable charm and character, enhanced by stabilisers for smooth, confident cruising.
