Bella Katrin

26 knots is Bella Katrin's cruising speed, and 30 is what she reaches flat out: numbers set by twin 1,400 hp MAN diesels sized for everyday running well inside their limit. Azimut delivered this 23-metre Fly 72 in 2023, and the rest of her engineering follows that same idea of comfortable margin rather than outright pace.

Build and provenance

She is built in GRP and carbon fibre, hull and superstructure both, and carries a Malta flag. Azimut delivered Bella Katrin in 2023, and she is described as maintained in excellent condition under professional supervision since delivery. There is no refit on record, so what a buyer is looking at is the original specification rather than later work.

Layout and accommodation

Four en suite cabins sleep eight guests. The owner has a full-beam suite set apart from the other rooms, there is a separate VIP stateroom, and two further cabins, one twin and one double, complete the accommodation. Two crew are quartered apart from the guest cabins, in their own two-cabin space. Inside, panoramic glazing runs through the saloon, and the lounge, dining area and galley sit in one open sequence rather than being broken into separate rooms.

Performance and engineering

Twin 1,400 hp MAN diesels give Bella Katrin a 26-knot cruise and a 30-knot top speed, with tanks sized for comfortable extended running. A Seakeeper stabiliser works both under way and at anchor, which keeps her steady over a meal as much as on a passage. Two 20.5 kW Kohler generators support the systems, and a bow thruster and watermaker round out the working equipment.

On deck and at anchor

On deck, the flybridge doubles as an outdoor living room: a table for dining, a grill and drinks fridge, sun pads and a retractable awning that pulls out when the sun is high. A hydraulic platform at the stern lowers to the water, and Starlink plus air conditioning keep the yacht comfortable and connected wherever she cruises.

Where she lies and how to see her

Bella Katrin lies in Antibes, France. Boatcrowd sets up every viewing here and stands in on it, and once a buyer's offer is accepted, the survey and sea trial follow before contracts are signed.
