CARNEVALI 130 2006 FOR SALE

Some yachts are designed to attract attention from a distance, while others become convincing once you begin to discover how they are built and how they work in everyday use. This 2006 Carnevali 130 clearly belongs to the latter group. Her proportions, interior layout, flybridge and relationship between exterior and interior spaces make her equally enjoyable for a day underway or for several days aboard with family or guests.

This boat also adds an especially important argument in a pre-owned yacht: extensive and recent mechanical work on her two Caterpillar C7 engines. The work carried out on both engines, together with the navigation electronics, bow thruster, hydraulic passerelle and complete comfort configuration, creates a particularly interesting package for anyone who values both the aesthetics of an Italian yacht and the reassurance of knowing what technical work has been completed in the engine room.

About this Carnevali 130

Built in 2006, this Carnevali 130 is an Italian flybridge yacht with a hull length just under twelve metres and a beam of more than four metres, proportions that provide good interior volume while retaining a manageable feel underway and during manoeuvring.

The boat is powered by two Caterpillar C7 DITA engines producing 461 hp each, with approximately 1,000 hours, shaft drives and a combined output of 922 hp. Both engines have recently undergone substantial mechanical work, including dismantling, cleaning, internal components, gaskets, seals, fluids and subsequent testing.

The layout provides two double cabins, two complete bathrooms and a saloon with a convertible L-shaped sofa. On board there is also air conditioning, an equipped galley, Lorenz and Raymarine electronics, a bow thruster, Besenzoni hydraulic passerelle, flybridge and generous exterior areas finished in teak.

Why this boat stands out

What makes this Carnevali 130 especially interesting is that the technical side has received a level of attention that is uncommon on many pre-owned yachts. The work carried out on the two Caterpillar C7 engines provides a relatively detailed picture of the interventions completed on internal components, cooling, turbocharger, cylinder head and service items.

That mechanical foundation is complemented by a practical two-cabin, two-bathroom layout, flybridge, Besenzoni passerelle, bow thruster and an interior configuration designed for weekends and coastal cruising. It is precisely this balance between mechanical maintenance, habitability and ease of use that gives this boat its value.

Fontnautic opinion

For Fontnautic, this Carnevali 130 is particularly interesting for a buyer who values knowing what has actually been done to the boat's machinery. On a yacht of this age, substantial and documented engine work can be worth more than certain purely aesthetic extras.

We also like her approach as a compact Italian flybridge: she offers two cabins, two bathrooms, a comfortable saloon and several exterior areas without moving into the complexities of a much larger yacht. Shaft drives, bow thruster and hydraulic passerelle complete a very logical configuration for Mediterranean cruising.

For anyone looking for a pre-owned Italian yacht with a particularly significant mechanical update, we believe she deserves serious consideration.
