Her Category A / Class 1 certification and heavy-duty steel construction mark her as a serious international cruiser rather than a fair-weather v
Originally launched in 2006 by Aegean Yacht, the Donna Del Mare is a purpose-built explorer yacht engineered for luxury yachting from the outset . Following an extensive, major refit in 2024–2025, she boasts modern "boutique" standards, a clean history with no recorded damages, and a highly functional 7-cabin layout accommodating up to 12 guests . She offers exceptional autonomy for true globetrotting, alongside high-end lifestyle amenities such as a new 6-person sundeck Jacuzzi and multiple dining and lounging zones across her four decks
She features a high-sided, robust, high-displacement steel hull with significant freeboard at the bow and a stable displacement profile . Her naval architecture utilizes a four-deck vertical arrangement (Lower, Main, Upper, and Sundeck) to maximize interior volume and deck space . During her recent refit, the hull was completely sanded with multiple layers of marine paint and antifouling applied
She is equipped with Quantum ARC 3001 MK2 zero-speed stabilizers for vital guest comfort at anchor . The vessel features a combined generator output of approximately 150kW and dual HP watermakers providing up to 1,000 L/h for high-capacity redundancy . Additionally, her propellers have been balanced and the hydraulic piping renewed
A major feature is her 6 kW solar array integrated into the forward section of the sundeck . This provides significant "green" autonomy, allowing the yacht to run certain systems without the need for generators
The bridge electronics underwent a complete refit in 2024–2025 to ensure she meets modern safety and operational standards
Her layout is particularly attractive, offering a 7-cabin configuration (including five triple cabins) to accommodate up to 12 guests . This features a separate, private master cabin on the upper deck to create an "owner’s level," while the main guest accommodation is situated on the lower deck . Her 2024–2025 refit included completely refurbished woodwork and a full bathroom refit across all cabins
Her architecture creates distinct zones for guests, starting with a "Beach Club" stern and aft platform featuring a curved staircase for easy boarding and water sports . The sundeck serves as the primary social hub, featuring a new 6-person Jacuzzi, a BBQ, and a large sunbathing area under a new shade structure . The foredeck provides a highly organized tender storage area and a sophisticated port-side docking system for jet skis and sea-bobs . Exterior finishes include high-gloss woodwork, new window seals, and excellent condition teak decks
Built to stringent Category A / Class 1 safety standards, she was further upgraded during her recent refit with a new 14-camera surveillance system
