Offering a rare blend of solid craftsmanship and untapped potential, La Buena Vida is ready for a visionary buyer to customize it for luxury cruising, high-end chartering, or profitable resale.
Highlights of Elegance & Strength
- Impeccable Exterior: Fully repainted in 2022, the aluminum hull shines with timeless allure, complemented by new composite decking for comfort and durability.
- Powerful Performance: Twin Deutz MWM 234 engines (1100 HP each) deliver reliable power, housed in an immaculate engine room maintained by a 100-ton certified captain.
- Spacious Entertainment Areas: The flybridge, with a new bimini, offers an unrivaled entertainment space, while the main deck's aft area and bow provide ample room for relaxation or socializing.
- Functional Amenities: Includes a dinghy with davit system, new windlass and anchor, a fully equipped galley with abundant storage, and guest cabins with private heads and showers.
- Versatile Interior: Features a grand salon with built-in seating, a pilothouse for all-weather navigation, and a stacked washer/dryer for convenience.
Investment Opportunity: Customize Your Vision
La Buena Vida is a blank canvas for transformation, offering significant potential for rehabilitation to create a bespoke yacht tailored to your dreams. Here's why it's a smart investment:
- Owner's Suite & Crew Quarters: Both areas have been stripped to the hull, providing a rare opportunity to design a luxurious owner's suite and modern crew quarters (or additional guest rooms) from scratch. Professionally drawn plans are included, saving time and cost.
- Modernization Potential: Upgrade the navigation systems with cutting-edge technology, add eco-friendly features like hybrid propulsion or solar panels, and integrate smart home systems to appeal to high-end buyers or charter clients.
- Charter Market Appeal: A fully refitted La Buena Vida could dominate the luxury charter market, capitalizing on a projected 5.5% annual growth through 2030. Customize the layout for larger groups or wellness-focused amenities (e.g., onboard spa) to maximize charter revenue.
- Value Appreciation: Post-rehabilitation, the yacht's value could increase by 50-100%, especially with upgrades aligned with trends like sustainability and experiential luxury. Comparable refitted yachts command premium prices.
- Cost-Effective Entry: With a competitive price point, this yacht allows buyers to invest in bespoke upgrades, enhancing both functionality and ROI compared to newer vessels.
Areas for Personalization
- Owner's Suite Completion: The luxurious head is finished, but the stateroom awaits your vision to create a private oasis with custom finishes and layouts.
- Crew Quarters Redesign: A stripped-down space ready for transformation into modern crew accommodations or additional guest cabins, with plans provided.
- Navigation Upgrades: Current systems are functional but offer a chance to install the latest radar, GPS, and autopilot for enhanced safety and appeal.
