The refit is central to the listing’s value

The brokerage describes the yacht as having been rebuilt extensively, with fiscal and photographic documentation covering the work completed. That documented programme is central to the yacht’s value because major systems may have been renewed rather than simply maintained.

On a yacht of this age, the quality of refit history can matter more than original build date alone. A detailed survey remains essential, but recorded work helps a buyer understand where money has already been invested and which areas still need attention.

The layout is designed for extended cruising

The yacht is listed with five cabins and four heads, allowing a relatively large owner’s party to remain aboard for longer passages. Its accommodation is paired with a substantial domestic systems package rather than a minimalist day-boat arrangement.

The displacement-oriented hull and traditional pilothouse character place the Cammenga closer to a compact expedition-style cruiser than a fast Mediterranean sports yacht. That gives it a distinct role within LYG’s 12-to-24-metre market.

Fuel capacity supports long-distance operation

The listing records approximately 7,500 litres of fuel and 1,200 litres of fresh water. Cruising speed is quoted around 11 knots, with a maximum close to 13 knots, reflecting an emphasis on range, efficiency and reliability rather than speed.

John Deere diesel machinery and long-range equipment make the yacht relevant to owners considering extended coastal or offshore cruising. The lower operating speed can also reduce fuel burn compared with faster planing yachts of similar length.

Venice provides a practical Adriatic base

The yacht is located in Venice, offering immediate access to the northern Adriatic and routes toward Croatia, Montenegro and Greece. The region has strong shipyard infrastructure and long experience maintaining traditional steel, composite and displacement yachts.

At €800,000, the Cammenga 66 appeals to a buyer prioritising range, refit investment and classic character over a recent build year. Its value will depend heavily on the quality of the documented work, but the market proposition is unusual at this length and price.
