A full-custom Rossinavi with a performance brief
Delivered in 2018 by Rossinavi in Viareggio, FLYING DAGGER III measures 49.9 metres, or roughly 163 feet, with a beam of 29'2" and a maximum draft of 7'2". Her exterior is the work of Enrico Gobbi of Team for Design, her interior comes from Lazzarini Pickering Architetti, and naval architecture is by Arrabito Naval Architects. She was presented to the public for the first time at the 2018 Monaco Yacht Show.
The whole package is built around speed. Her hull and superstructure are aluminium, and she carries three MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines rated at 2,600 hp each, driving three Kamewa S-4 waterjets. That combination gives her a top speed of 31 knots, a 24-knot cruise, and a range of 3,300 nautical miles at 12 knots. Her measured volume is 495 GT, and the shallow 7'2" draft opens up anchorages that deeper displacement yachts of similar length can't reach.
At 49.9 metres, she sits right at the top of the size range the Cannes festival covers, which runs from 5 to 50 meters.
Interior and layout
FLYING DAGGER III sleeps 10 guests in five cabins. The master suite is forward on the main deck and includes a private balcony recessed into the hull, usable at anchor or underway. The four remaining guest cabins are on the lower deck, all ensuite, all with large portholes. Crew accommodation is a further five cabins for 10 crew.
A midship garage holds a 6.3m Castoldi 21 tender, and an aft beach club is accessed through a transom garage door, with a double-wide swim platform and retractable stairs into the water.
Recently serviced and offered turn-key
Her maintenance record covers two consecutive refit and service periods across 2024 through 2026. Recent work includes MTU main engine service and inspections, Kamewa jet maintenance and tunnel cleaning, generator servicing, gyro stabiliser service, antifouling, exterior paint touch-ups, and RINA and Cayman flag annual surveys. Her listing reports approximately 1,700 hours on her main engines.
She's currently lying in Olbia, Italy, and is asking €23,500,000.
See her at Cannes
The 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival runs September 8 to 13 and marks the show's 49th edition, gathering more than 700 sailing and motor yachts across two harbours.
