Back 9 and a Half

A crew of six and a refit only finished in 2024 say something about what owning Back 9 And A Half involves: this is a yacht kept current, not simply kept afloat. ISA delivered her in 2017, and ten guests across five cabins now share a hull that has recently had fresh work done to it.

Build and provenance

She is a GRP-hulled flybridge motor yacht from the Italian yard ISA, delivered in 2017 and refitted in 2024. Andrea Vallicelli drew her exterior lines, and Guida Design worked on her interiors alongside the yard's own studio, and she measures 121 feet, or 37 metres, overall.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests are accommodated in five cabins, with a crew of six to run the boat and look after them: on a yacht this size, six hands mean the systems, the galley and the guests all get proper attention rather than one crew member covering two jobs.

Performance and engineering

Three MTU engines at 2,400 horsepower each give her a 24-knot cruise and 31 knots at full throttle. Her draft of 1.5 metres, or 4.9 feet, means she can run close to shore and hold in shallow anchorages without special caution.

On deck and at anchor

On deck, a jacuzzi and a separate sun deck give guests two distinct places to be outside: one for lounging in the sun, the other for soaking in the jacuzzi, so there is more than one outdoor gathering spot aboard.

Where she lies and how to see her

You can view Back 9 And A Half in Sag Harbor, where Boatcrowd will meet you at the boat. Once your offer is accepted, a surveyor and a sea trial follow, ahead of handover.
