THE YACHT
Every inch a squadron, this 42 feet yacht has elegant sweeping lines and large panoramic windows that lend a feeling of great spaciousness, as if in a much larger boat. The yacht has 2 volvo penta engines reaching up to speeds of 26 knots. The sense of space and luxury is further enhanced by the extra-large fly-bridge and the unusual openness of the cockpit that boasts of a unique rear- facing lounger. The large swim platform also holds the tender launch system at the rear of the boat that can be submerged in the water. Ciao Bella specializes in personalized voyages ranging from 2 hour trips to a day-long charter to even specific destination cruises. The yacht undertakes extreme security measures and has trained crew on board at all times.
