Articles A Master of Persuasion: Why M/Y PERSUADER Is One of the Most Attractive Superyachts for Sale Today

PERSUADER stands as a refreshing reminder of what yachting should be.

This 33-metre explorer speaks to those who understand that true luxury isn't measured in chrome and crystal, but in the ability to seek out the world's quietest corners in perfect comfort.

A Proven Explorer

Built in 2007 by the renowned French yard OCEA, PERSUADER doesn’t just promise adventure – she’s lived it. Over the past eight years with her current Owner and Captain she’s crafted quite the logbook.

“We’ve crossed the Atlantic, explored Cape Verde and the Canary Islands, cruised through the Bahamas and the Grenadines,” reflects Captain Riccardo. “But some of our most memorable moments came from meticulously discovering the hidden corners of the Mediterranean – the remote Dodecanese islands of Greece, circumnavigating Sicily and Sardinia, and exploring Malta‘s rugged coastline.”

Designed to take her owners anywhere in comfort and safety, PERSUADER’s aluminium hull and twin Caterpillar engines offer a range of 4,000 nautical miles – enough to get you from Monaco to Mykonos and back without seeing a fuel dock – while her Zero Speed stabilizers enhance onboard comfort. All of which, position PERSUADER as a genuine blue water cruiser.

When we asked Captain Riccardo what aspects of PERSUADER’s design have proven most valuable during his time at the helm, his response seconded this.

“Her semi-displacement aluminium hull has a particularly efficient design that performs exceptionally well even in displacement mode. Combined with her two depowered C-18 Caterpillar engines, specifically configured for optimal fuel economy, and a streamlined superstructure that minimises wind resistance, she offers remarkable efficiency, handling, and reliability for extended cruising.”

This capability was put to the ultimate test during her Atlantic crossing in 2019/2020. “We sailed for 21 days from Viareggio to Barbados, with our longest leg lasting eight days,” Captain Riccardo recalls. “PERSUADER performed flawlessly – a testament to the Owner’s commitment to meticulous technical maintenance.”

 

Life aboard M/Y PERSUADER

At 33 metres, PERSUADER is ideal for families and charter groups seeking smooth sailing and peace of mind in any conditions. Compact enough to slip into the secret coves that the behemoths of the superyacht world can only dream of, yet spacious enough to carry everything you need for an epic adventure, PERSUADER delivers on every front.

“With a draft of 1.9 metres, we can anchor close to shorelines that many yachts simply can’t access,” notes Captain Riccardo. “Our guests frequently choose to spend extended periods at anchor, exploring hidden bays or tying up to the rocks along the coasts of Greece and Croatia. The yacht is very quiet and stable which has made nights at anchor some of our guests’ favourite memories.”

On M/Y PERSUADER the interior layout also reflects deep understanding of life at sea. Ten guests can spread across four staterooms, including a master suite that serves as a proper Owner’s retreat, complete with dedicated seating area and sophisticated finishes. The VIP stateroom boasts a unique twin-bed layout, while two additional guest staterooms provide twin beds with Pullman bunks, perfect for families travelling with children.

On the main deck, step inside the main salon, and you’re greeted by an open-plan layout that emphasises natural light. Plush seating invites you to sink in and lose yourself in a good book—or perhaps just marvel at the view. There’s also a 42-inch Samsung TV and Bose Stereo surround sound for cosy movie nights after a day of exploration.

Dining on board is an experience unto itself. The aft deck features an oval table surrounded by built-in seating and covered by a hard top. The perfect spot for lunch and enjoying Mediterranean views while sheltered from the heat of the midday sun. On the foredeck, a cosy settee provides the perfect spot for a morning coffee or pre-dinner cocktails.

And then there’s the flybridge—a huge space that rivals those found on far larger yachts – aft, sun pads and sofas provide the ultimate spot to soak up the rays. Forward, under the shade of a T-top, there’s a large dining table that could host anything from a casual family lunch to a lavish evening soirée.

Family-Friendly Features and Superior Comfort

Designed with families in mind, PERSUADER’s layout ensures safety and ease of use. Wide decks and secure railings make her a stress-free environment for guests of all ages, with her stabilizers providing a steady ride.

Her dedicated crew of five enhance the onboard experience, offering personalised service and ensuring every journey is smooth and luxurious. From gourmet meals to curated excursions, the crew delivers the highest standard of hospitality.

“What makes PERSUADER special is that she's a true ship, not just a yacht. She has her own character, and she'll always bring you home."

But this yacht’s charm lies in how she transforms from a luxurious retreat to an intrepid explorer at a moment’s notice. Whether you’re diving off her swim platform into crystal-clear waters or simply enjoying the thrill of being entirely off the grid, PERSUADER offers a genuine connection to the sea.

As Captain Riccardo puts it, “What makes PERSUADER special is that she’s a true ship, not just a yacht. She has her own character, and she’ll always bring you home.” It’s this authenticity that sets her apart – she’s ready for her next adventure too. As the Captain notes, “She could leave for America tomorrow – just give me time to fuel up and provision.”

Unmatched Value in Today’s Market

Priced at EUR 4.5 million (VAT paid), PERSUADER offers incredible value for a yacht of her size, capability, and pedigree. Consider this: many 33-metre yachts built within the last decade command anywhere from EUR 5-10 million, yet few can rival PERSUADER’s proven track record, excellent build quality, and timeless appeal.

Her charter potential adds yet another dimension to her value. With a successful history of charters here at Ocean Independence, her flexible accommodation for 10, expansive outdoor spaces, and plenty of room for the all-important water toys make PERSUADER a surefire hit for charter clients.

A Yacht That Stands Apart

Offering something different than tri-decks typical of this size category today, M/Y PERSUADER is a vessel that delivers on every front. From her robust explorer capabilities and elegant design to her family-focused layout and exceptional value, she represents an opportunity that discerning buyers shouldn’t overlook.

“PERSUADER is extremely versatile, but an Owner who loves the sea, who loves to stay quiet at anchor, away from movement and crowded bays would be perfect for this ship and this ship is perfect for them.”
