Seagull MRD

A 50-metre steel hull built for distance, not the marina hop, is the frame Seagull Mrd carries through her whole design. Benetti completed her in 2020, and low engine hours since then mean a buyer inherits a yacht that has barely begun her working life. She lies in Trogir, Croatia, ready to view.

Build and provenance

She is a custom-built Benetti, a steel-hulled monohull styled as a long-range displacement yacht, delivered new in 2020 with no refit since. A five-year class survey has just been completed, closing out an inspection a buyer would otherwise have to schedule themselves, and her current crew could stay aboard to keep her running without a handover gap.

Layout and accommodation

Twelve guests sleep across six cabins, looked after by a crew of nine, a ratio that leaves room for full service even with every cabin filled. At 499 gross tons across 50 metres, she carries meaningful volume into the guest spaces below deck.

Performance and engineering

Two 1,399 hp MAN V12 engines give her a 13.6-knot cruise and 16 knots at full throttle, power built for covering distance rather than short hops between anchorages. A steel hull suits that brief: strength for open water over the shallow-draft agility of a lighter build.

Where she lies and how to see her

Seagull Mrd lies in Trogir, Croatia, and a viewing there is arranged and attended by Boatcrowd rather than left to the seller. Once a buyer's offer is accepted, survey and sea trial come next, ahead of any handover discussion.
