Overview
About this vessel
The beautiful Far Niente was built in 2024 and designed by Hoek Naval Architects. At 32m, Far Niente is a modern superyacht with classic lines, sophisticated style, and head-turning allure. She was built to RINA Commercial classification and has already proved herself to be a popular charter option, completing her first season in the Mediterranean and more recently undertaking itineraries in Norway.
Far Niente was commissioned by an experienced British yachtsman who sought to cruise in more unusual locations and introduce a new concept to the charter fleet. Her exterior lines were inspired by the North Sea Hering Luggers of the 1900s and she bears the elegant proportions that Hoek Yacht Design is famous for. Drawing on advanced fluid dynamics, tradition meets the 21st century with an optimised hull form that improves efficiency and comfort, with enhanced stabilisation underway and at-anchor.
Far Niente's interior design was developed by the owners in collaboration with Hoek. Structural beams have purposely been left visible, which allows for head heights of 2.3 metres, and the interior adopts a distinctly contemporary look. Quarter-sawn grey washed oak has been used for the cabinetry, and light oak floorboards run underfoot. The resultant ambience is one of a calm simplicity, accented by oceanic blues.
This tri-deck motoryacht has accommodation for 10 guests in five cabins. The master suite is located forward on the main deck, and the four lower deck cabins are configured as two doubles and two twins. Further accommodation is provided for a complement of six crew.
The main saloon is arranged as two separate seating areas with a dining table for 10 between them. A second upper-deck saloon provides an additional and more intimate lounge space.
Exterior spaces include the spacious aft of the bridge deck, where meals can be served al fresco and uninterrupted views to the horizon enjoyed from the steamer chair loungers.
In testament to her unique aesthetic and quality, Far Niente was a finalist in the categories for Best Interior Design, Best Naval Architecture, and Best Exterior Design at the 2025 Boat International Design & Innovation Awards.
Unlike true classics that struggle for volume, have high noise and vibration levels, and typically come with larger maintenance bills, Far Niente can boast all the latest operational, engineering and navigational systems, as well as stowage space for two 7-metre tenders plus water toys. She has a range of 2,000nm at her economical 9-knot cruising speed, and a top speed of 10.5 knots.
To top the yacht's steel hull with a cold-moulded wooden composite superstructure is an unusual combination but one that brings many advantages—it avoids any concern of corrosion, is of benefit to the overall weight, and it's especially good for insulation, which makes it better than building in aluminium then cladding with teak.
Far Niente is offered for sale in immaculate condition by her original owner, and with low engine hours. This Dutch-design carries a noteworthy pedigree and will appeal to those who appreciate that maritime heritage and the modern superyacht lifestyle need not be mutually exclusive.
