Project Kiribati 38 Motor Yacht
About 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.

Buying Costs
- Survey
- A buyer normally commissions a condition survey, and a sea trial, once an offer is accepted and before the sale becomes unconditional. The cost depends on her size and on where she is lifted, and it is the buyer who appoints the surveyor.
- Registration and flag
- She will be registered on a flag of the buyer's choosing, which carries its own fees and its own survey and crew requirements. Where the yacht is owned through a company, the shares rather than the vessel may change hands, which changes what is payable.
- VAT and import
- Whether VAT is due, and where, depends on the yacht's current status, her flag, the buyer's residency and where she is delivered. Where the seller has stated her VAT status, it is shown with the asking price on her page, and it is confirmed in writing before an offer is made.
- Running costs
- Crew, berthing, insurance, class and annual maintenance continue from the day she is yours. A yacht that is also chartered earns against them, and we will set out what her season has actually returned before you commit.
