About this yacht

The Uniesse 48 Open “Far & Wide” is a refined 48-foot Italian motor yacht combining elegant craftsmanship with strong performance and efficiency.

Designed to deliver speed, stability, and exceptional onboard comfort, she is recognized for being one of the quietest and most stable performance yachts in her class.

Advanced engineering and thoughtful engine configuration contribute to reduced environmental impact. Comfortably accommodating up to 12 guests for day tours and mini-cruises, she offers 3 cabins, 2 bathrooms, and additional sleeping space in the convertible dinette. Her spacious cockpit and well-designed layout make her ideal for Mediterranean cruising.

About Uniesse. Uniesse was a Sicilian yard (Mazara del Vallo) operating from 1992 to 2017, producing semi-custom motor yachts in the 40-70 foot range. The brand was known for hand-finished interiors and conservative styling — a small-volume Italian builder with a loyal owner community.

Cruising profile. A 15-metre open motor yacht — typically two or three-cabin layout, hardtop or open helm, suited to Italian Tyrrhenian short cruising and Sicilian/Adriatic weekending. Cruising speeds in the 22-26 knot range with twin Caterpillar or MAN diesel power.

Market context. Uniesse is a low-volume Italian builder with a small but informed second-hand market. Service history is critical for these hulls — Mazara del Vallo and Naples-area service centres maintain records on known boats. NewSail's brokerage handles Uniesse listings with the original builder records when available.

Buyer considerations. Check the engine maintenance log thoroughly — the twin diesel platform is robust but rewards documented service. Inspect the hardtop/T-top integration, deck core for any soft spots, and the electronics generation. Italian flag transfers are routine; Naples-area dock space typically available for survey period.
