Boutique Italian luxury, distinguished by colour, design and fewer than 30 engine hours.

Italian heritage with an individual character

Sessa Marine’s Italian roots date to 1958, with a dedicated marine division established in 1968. That heritage is reflected in a design philosophy that places equal importance on appearance, materials and the way owners actually use their yachts. The builder’s emphasis on interior finishes, exterior colour choices and thoughtful living spaces gives its yachts an individual, boutique character. 

The F47 expresses that approach through balanced proportions and an unusually complete arrangement for her size. Her flybridge is integrated into the profile rather than visually dominating it, while generous glazing lends a lighter appearance to the superstructure. Sessa describes the model as an evolution of the open-yacht concept, combining the sociability of an express cruiser with the additional living space of a flybridge yacht. 

On this particular example, the bronze-toned exterior gives those design choices added presence. The colour draws attention to the shape of the hull and the long, dark window line, creating a yacht with a clear identity of her own.

Outdoor living, thoughtfully arranged

The aft cockpit provides a welcoming introduction to life aboard. Teak decking, upholstered seating and an expanding dining table create a comfortable setting for lunch at anchor or an evening alongside. Overhead shelter, integrated lighting and the connection through the sliding glass doors make this a natural extension of the salon rather than a separate, occasional-use space. 

It is easy to imagine breakfast here before getting underway, or returning from a day ashore and settling around the table while the harbour quiets. The arrangement encourages time together without requiring every activity to take place in the same part of the yacht.

Teak side decks continue the exterior finish, while the hydraulic gangway, cockpit shower and swim ladder add practical convenience for boarding and time around the water. These are useful details that contribute to the ownership experience without distracting from the yacht’s clean presentation. 

Above, the flybridge provides another complete outdoor setting. Aft lounge seating and a dining table are complemented by a forward sun-lounging area and an upper helm. The layout gives guests room to relax while keeping the helm connected to the social space—an appealing arrangement for owners who enjoy operating their own yacht and sharing the journey with family and friends. 

A light, contemporary interior

Inside, the palette is calm and considered. Light upholstery, textured timber-toned cabinetry and pale surfaces create a contemporary interior with warmth rather than austerity. Large side windows keep the salon visually connected to the surroundings, while the seating and dining area offer a comfortable place to gather when the weather calls for time indoors. 

The detailing is restrained: contrasting textures, neatly integrated storage and furniture that serves a practical purpose without making the space feel overly furnished. The result is an interior equally suited to a relaxed afternoon aboard or entertaining guests over dinner. 

Importantly, the galley is on the main deck, positioned alongside the salon rather than removed from the conversation below. Its arrangement allows meal preparation to remain part of the social experience, with the dining area close at hand and natural light reaching the work surfaces. Pale countertops, coordinated cabinetry and integrated appliances maintain the continuity of the interior. 

Oven and microwave facilities, refrigeration and freezer storage provide the equipment for more than occasional entertaining. Whether preparing a simple breakfast before departure or provisioning for several nights away, the galley supports the kind of cruising where dining aboard is part of the pleasure. 

Three cabins for time away together

Below deck, the three-cabin arrangement accommodates six overnight, with two heads serving owners and guests. This gives the F47 the flexibility to welcome family or friends for a weekend without relying on the salon as sleeping accommodation. 

The forward owner’s cabin centres on a double berth, with hull-side windows, bedside lighting and storage beneath the bed. The light finishes and upholstered detailing continue the main deck’s understated character, creating a comfortable private space at the end of the day. 

Two additional guest cabins provide twin-berth accommodation. Their hull-side glazing brings daylight into the lower deck, while the separation into individual cabins gives guests the privacy that becomes increasingly important on longer stays. 

For a couple cruising independently, the additional cabins also offer welcome flexibility: space for visiting family, friends joining for part of a trip, or simply keeping personal belongings out of the main living areas.

Volvo Penta performance and intuitive handling

Power comes from twin Volvo Penta D6 IPS 600 diesels, producing 440 horsepower each for a combined 880 horsepower. The yacht’s published top speed is approximately 31 knots, with actual performance dependent on loading and conditions. Her fewer than 30 recorded engine hours remain one of the defining features of this offering. 

The IPS installation brings benefits beyond speed. Steerable pod drives and joystick control support precise low-speed manoeuvring, making the system particularly useful when approaching a berth or positioning the yacht in confined marina spaces. Volvo Penta also designs the integrated engine-and-drive package to limit transmitted noise and vibration, contributing to comfort underway. 

For the owner who enjoys being at the helm, the combination of upper and lower driving positions adds another dimension to the experience. Open-air cruising from the flybridge can give way to the sheltered interior helm as conditions or preferences change. 

Comfort beyond the summer afternoon

The onboard equipment supports more than fair-weather day trips. Air conditioning and reverse-cycle heating provide climate control, while a generator and shore-power connection support the yacht’s electrical requirements both away from and alongside the dock. Hot water, electric heads and battery charging equipment contribute to everyday convenience aboard. 

Navigation equipment includes radar, GPS/chartplotter, autopilot, VHF, depth instrumentation and compass, with entertainment equipment serving the salon and cockpit. Together, these systems complement the yacht’s accommodation and outdoor spaces, supporting an ownership experience built around spending meaningful time aboard.

Presented by Vancouver Yacht Group

This F47’s appeal lies in the combination: a distinctive bronze-toned exterior, a contemporary Italian interior, three-cabin accommodation and exceptionally little engine use. Already located in Vancouver, she can be experienced in person—her finish, proportions and living spaces considered aboard the actual yacht rather than through a catalogue. 

For those seeking a yacht with individual character and the flexibility to host, cruise and spend extended weekends on the water, she offers a considered balance of style and substance.
