BELLA is an elegant and beautifully built 45-metre motor yacht from the legendary Dutch shipyard Feadship, delivered in 2008 as the third yacht in the semi-custom F45 Vantage series and formerly known as Bella Vita and Madsummer. Maintained to exemplary standards since her launch, she has benefited from constant updates and upgrades, including refits that have kept her at the very top level of luxury and refreshed her striking exterior. Her sleek, timeless exterior styling is the work of De Voogt, defined by a raked bow, a high foredeck and extensive glazing that floods her interior with natural light, while her sophisticated interior is by the acclaimed Dutch studio Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design. A finalist at the World Superyacht Awards in 2009, she is a genuine pedigree yacht that delivers on every front. Built on a full-displacement steel hull with an aluminium superstructure over her decks, she is a comfortable, sea-kindly and capable cruiser, fitted with an ultra-modern stabilisation system that reduces roll for a smoother, more enjoyable ride, and offers a transatlantic range of 5,000 nautical miles, cruising comfortably at 12 knots with a top speed of 16 knots. Her interior exudes elegance through an embrace of natural tones, with light wooden floors, cream cabinetry and wall panels and dark wood accents creating a soothing, cohesive and open ambience, complemented by floor-to-ceiling windows that draw in daylight throughout. The main deck is home to the main salon, with comfortable sofas around a coffee table and a generous dining area seating eight, while the bridge deck skylounge is a wonderful casual social hub, with ample seating, a bar and a game table. Life on deck is exceptional, with beautifully proportioned spaces for open-air living. The sundeck is a crowd-pleasing highlight, with a jacuzzi surrounded by a semi-circle of plush sun loungers and a grill, while the bridge deck aft offers a delectable lounge and an elegant alfresco dining area with direct access to the sundeck. An expansive extending swim platform gives easy access to the water and opens up the tender garage, home to her 24-foot tender and an armada of water toys, and a beach club, spa, sauna and gym complete her wealth of amenities. Accommodation is arranged for up to 12 guests in six spacious staterooms, in a unique and clever layout that places every cabin on the main and upper decks, maximising natural light and views for all guests. The stunning open-plan full-beam master suite enjoys 180-degree views, a skylight, a private office and a beautiful marble-finished bathroom with a soaking tub, a serene and private retreat. A VIP suite, double and twin cabins complete flexible, elegantly appointed accommodation, all with en-suite facilities, making her wonderfully suited to families and groups of friends. A professional crew of nine ensures relaxed, attentive service throughout. Powered by twin MTU engines, BELLA cruises the Mediterranean in summer and the Caribbean in winter, offering charter guests a rare combination of Feadship pedigree, light-filled Sinot interiors, a superb sundeck and clever, view-filled accommodation aboard one of the most charming yachts of her size on the charter market.
