Project Kiribati 38

The same speed in cruising and flat out, 13 knots sets the pace aboard Project Kiribati 38: a displacement hull built for steady days at anchor rather than fast point-to-point runs. Cerri Cantieri Navali has her under construction for delivery in 2026, a 40-metre monohull for twelve guests across six cabins, with a crew of nine to look after them.

Build and provenance

She is built in steel with an aluminium superstructure and a teak deck, a construction chosen for a displacement yacht that spends its days moored or at slow speed rather than planing. At 430 gross tonnes on a 40-metre length, she carries her volume low and steady.

Layout and accommodation

Twelve guests sleep across six cabins, and a crew of nine runs the Project Kiribati 38 day to day, enough hands to keep service attentive across a table of twelve.

Performance and engineering

She cruises at 13 knots and tops out at the same figure, a displacement hull built to hold a steady pace rather than sprint between anchorages. Zero-speed stabilisers keep her level once she stops, so a night at anchor stays still.

On deck and at anchor

There is a beach club on deck, and a gym is fitted for exercise between anchorages. The swimming pool and deck jacuzzi give a second place to cool off without leaving the boat.

Where she lies and how to see her

Project Kiribati 38 is building at the yard in La Spezia, Italy, and that is where Boatcrowd takes buyers to see her progress, attending every visit in person. Survey and sea trial follow once an offer on her build slot is accepted, ahead of delivery in 2026.
