Reine Des Coeurs

Six years sit between Reine Des Coeurs leaving the yard and her most recent refit. Ferretti delivered her in 2015 as an 800, a flybridge motor yacht on a monohull, and the refit followed in 2021. She lies in Turkey, offered for sale through Boatcrowd.

Build and provenance

She is built as a Ferretti 800, twenty-five metres and eighty-one feet, with a beam of 6.3 metres and a draft of 1.9 metres. The proportions carry through the 800 line: enough beam for a full-width saloon, without a draft that closes off shallower anchorages. A 2021 refit sits on top of the 2015 build, a second date worth asking a surveyor to walk through alongside the first.

Layout and accommodation

Four cabins sleep eight guests: a primary suite with a queen bed, a second cabin with a queen, one with a double and one with a twin, a spread that suits a family or two couples travelling together. A crew of four, including the captain, keep quarters of their own, separate from the guest cabins, so the boat runs quietly around whoever is aboard.

Performance and engineering

Two MTU engines, each rated at 1,823 horsepower, give her a 25-knot cruise and a 34-knot top speed, the kind of pace that comes from a planing hull built for speed rather than a slow, full-displacement cruise.

On deck and at anchor

Water toys are carried aboard for time spent at anchor, alongside the deck shower fitted for rinsing off afterwards.

Where she lies and how to see her

Reine Des Coeurs lies in Turkey. Boatcrowd sets up every viewing and is there for it, and once an offer is accepted we bring in the surveyor and arrange the sea trial before anything is finalised.
