Preference 19

A crew of seven for ten guests is a ratio built for looking after people, not just running a boat. Preference 19 carries exactly that balance: Tansu built her as a 36-metre displacement motor yacht in 2011, refitted in 2024, and she is offered through Boatcrowd out of Monaco.

Build and provenance

Tansu delivered Preference 19 in 2011 as a monohull displacement motor yacht at 36 metres, a hull shape built for range and a level ride rather than outright pace. She carries a refit from 2024 on her record, which is the year to ask about when weighing up a yacht built in 2011.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep across five cabins, looked after by a crew of seven, a generous ratio that points to unhurried, attentive service rather than a lean-crewed charter boat.

Performance and engineering

Two Caterpillar C32 engines give her a 12-knot cruise and a 17-knot top speed: figures that match a displacement hull built to cover distance efficiently rather than plane across it. Zero-speed stabilisers hold her steady at anchor, the kind of fitting that matters most on longer stays rather than short hops.

Where she lies and how to see her

Preference 19 lies in Monaco. Boatcrowd sets up viewings and is on hand for each one, and once an offer is accepted a survey and sea trial follow before anything is signed off. She also charters through Boatcrowd's own fleet across Monaco, France, Italy, Malta and Spain, so a buyer who wants to spend a week aboard first can do that before deciding to buy.
