Today we have scouted for you three used powerboats for all tastes and wallets: a dinghy, a gozzo and a small yacht, from 30 to 250 thousand euros, great for a day trip, a weekend getaway or, why not, even a small cruise.
We present them in order of length.
We start with a dinghy that is “only” 7 meters but of a high standard: very richly equipped and recently refitted. In particular, the tubulars, the first symptom of aging of a dinghy, were refitted in 2019, along with all systems. The engine is reported to have traveled even less than 200 hours. The electronic equipment is also remarkable, with Garmin chart plotter, echo and satellite device. Thanks also to the auxiliary engine, it can be a reliable means of getting away from the coast; in fact, it embarks safety equipment within 12 miles, including a raft. The many customizations, including electric toilet with shower and porthole, water heater, refrigerator, etc., can also be evaluated for nautical camping and thus longer stays at sea than the classic day trip, despite its size.
Among the iconic models of Apreamare, a yard of reference in the dinghy segment, the Emerald line is certainly the most representative. This Emerald 9, like meters in length, mounts 2 inboard VM 706LI, 4.2 L, inline 6-cylinder, 184.5 kW each. The owner says they have sailed just over a thousand hours since 2002, when they were built. The unit in 2009 was deleted from the registers so by virtue of its length it is vessel. The version for sale is the cabin cruiser, so in addition to the classic deck layout typical of dinghies of this size, going below deck, there is a small living area and the owner’s cabin in the bow, as well as, of course, a separate bathroom. This configuration makes her the perfect boat for weekend trips.
A small yacht just across the Adriatic. From 2019, Croatian-flagged, this 12-meter Mirakul 40 really looks like new in exterior and interior. Powered by a pair of Volvo Penta D4 260 hp each, always serviced by the official service and already ready for the 2025 season. Sporty exterior and interior in both colors and materials. The cockpit is very livable thanks to the wet bar, the sundeck above the tender garage, which can be opened electrically, as well as the sky and hard top windows, but above all a huge teak-covered beach. Below deck 3 cabins, two of which are spacious, a galley and a bathroom, with contrasting colors and diffused LED lighting.
