With a length of 40 meters, beam of 8 meters, and displacement of 388 tons, the Acciaio 130 features a highly efficient hull with a bulbous bow for reduced fuel consumption and a smooth, stable ride. Powered by two Man D2862LE engines delivering 749 kW each, and equipped with a Catalytic Reduction System compliant with IMO Tier III standards, the yacht achieves a range of approximately 5,000 nautical miles at 10 knots, supported by a fuel capacity exceeding 54,000 liters.
