CAPPUCCINO is a fast, shallow-draft motor yacht built for the way the Riviera is actually cruised: quick hops between coves, lunch at anchor off the Iles de Lerins, and a turn of speed that shrinks the run to the next port. Built in 2007 by the Italian yard Costruzioni Navali Tigullio-Castagnola to a Tommaso Spadolini design, she pairs a planing hull good for 28 knots with a draft of just 1.7 metres, a combination that opens up anchorages a deeper, slower yacht would have to pass by.
Her dark navy hull and low, purposeful profile give her the look of a far sportier boat than her volume suggests. She was refitted in 2014, and the work included an at-anchor stabilisation system that takes the roll out of a lunch stop, a meaningful upgrade on a yacht this size. There is real craft here too: a wooden hull and superstructure, warm timber throughout, and the kind of detailing that comes from a builder working in the classic Italian tradition.
Inside, the mood is warm and residential. The main-deck salon is lined in honey-toned wood, with a comfortable lounge and a formal dining area that catches the light through long windows on both sides. Celeste Dell’Anna’s interior favours comfort over spectacle, the sort of space that feels lived-in by the second day of a charter rather than admired from the doorway. The enclosed wheelhouse sits just forward, a reminder that this is a yacht made to be driven and enjoyed under way as much as at rest.
Accommodation is arranged over five en-suite cabins for up to 10 guests. A full-beam master occupies the main deck, quiet and private, with sea-view windows and a marble bathroom. Below, a pair of double cabins and two twins give families and groups flexible sleeping, each finished in the same warm wood and each with its own en suite. A crew of five keeps the yacht running smoothly without ever feeling like a crowd aboard a boat of this scale.
Outdoor life is central to CAPPUCCINO. The aft deck sets up for long lunches by the water, the foredeck carries a run of sun pads for lazy afternoons, and a flybridge gives guests a raised, open perch for the passage between bays. Her swim platform and a full inventory of water toys, from a jet ski to snorkelling gear, turn every anchorage into a playground, and her shallow draft means she can tuck close to the beach to enjoy them.
She charters the western Mediterranean, at home along the French and Italian Rivieras, around Corsica and Sardinia, and among the islands where her speed and draft come into their own. For a couple or a family who want a fast, characterful yacht with genuine craftsmanship and an accessible weekly rate, CAPPUCCINO makes an easy case, a proper Riviera runabout scaled up to superyacht comfort. Because she is quick and easy to reposition, itineraries can stay loose, following the weather and the mood of the party rather than a fixed marina schedule, and her shallow draft lets her anchor where the water runs clearest.
