Sami Kay III

Eight guests and a crew of two set the balance aboard Sami Kay III: enough hands to run her well, without turning the boat into a fully staffed yacht. Ferretti built her in 2017 as a flybridge motor yacht, and Boatcrowd offers her for viewing in Miami Beach.

Build and provenance

Sami Kay III is a monohull measuring 73 feet, or 22 metres, with a 5.8 metre beam and a 1.9 metre draft, shallow enough to sit comfortably in a marina berth without needing deep water alongside. Ferretti built her in 2017, and her flybridge design carries an open lounge up onto a second deck above the saloon.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests are the maximum she carries, looked after by a crew of two. The flybridge itself is the layout's headline fact: a further open deck above the saloon, giving guests a second place to gather rather than the one room below.

Performance and engineering

Two MTU 10V 2000 M93 diesels power her, each producing 1,524 hp, the pairing that moves 22 metres of monohull through the water.

On deck and at anchor

A swim platform at the stern gives direct access to the water, and a barbecue point on deck keeps meals outside when the weather allows. Satellite connectivity keeps her guests in touch even once Miami Beach is out of sight, and underwater lights extend the evening once she is anchored.

Where she lies and how to see her

Sami Kay III lies in Miami Beach, and viewings there are set up and hosted by Boatcrowd. An accepted offer is followed by a survey and a sea trial, the last checks before ownership passes.
