MATSU

MATSU is a 37-metre ISA Yachts 120 Sport, built in 2007 and refitted in 2022, registered under the Cayman Islands flag. Designed by Andrea Vallicelli with interiors by Cristiano Gatto Design, she represents the performance-oriented end of the Italian shipbuilding tradition — a GRP planing hull purpose-built for speed and agility rather than passage-making range.

She is well suited to guests seeking a fast, high-energy charter in the western Mediterranean. Accommodating up to eight guests across four cabins, with six crew, she offers an attentive service ratio for her size. Her charter regions span France, Italy, Corsica, Sardinia, the French Riviera, Monaco, and neighbouring coastlines — destinations where proximity to port and marina access matter more than oceanic range. Those expecting a displacement yacht's smooth, unhurried crossing will find her character distinctly different; MATSU is built to cover ground quickly.

What distinguishes her is a genuine performance specification for a yacht charter of this class. A planing hull with a maximum speed of 33 knots and a cruise speed of 20 knots places her in a different category from the majority of displacement motor yachts operating in her length bracket. The Vallicelli exterior gives her a purposeful, low-slung profile that telegraphs her capabilities before the engines are ever started.

Onboard, the experience is oriented around coastal activity. The swimming platform provides direct water access, and the toy inventory includes two jet-skis, two Seabobs, two paddleboards, and snorkelling equipment — a solid package for guests who want to be in the water as much as on it. Stabilisers underway and at anchor contribute to comfort both at sea and when stopped in an open anchorage. Air conditioning, sunpads, and Wi-Fi complete the practical amenities. The absence of a listed tender suggests the yacht operates self-sufficiently or with marina berthing in mind given her itinerary profile.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
