Fresh from a multi-year rebuild completed in 2026, Black Pepper is a 24.4-meter classic motor yacht that pairs traditional styling with thoroughly modern systems. Built in 1975 by Cantieri di Lavagna and VAT-exempt, she offers standout value in the market with a main deck owner’s suite, full-displacement hull, and zero-speed stabilizers, all in turnkey condition.
Her hull and systems have been comprehensively rebuilt, including new hull plating, frames, tanks, plumbing, wiring, and a full exterior repaint. All electronics are new, and Humphree electric stabilizers were added for enhanced comfort underway and at anchor. A new generator and large DC battery bank allow for silent operations without running the genset. Cruising at 10 knots with a 1,400nm range, Black Pepper is well-suited for long-range coastal or offshore cruising.
The interior is warm and practical, with a main salon on the main deck finished in bright colour tones and equipped with a full entertainment system. The refurbished galley below deck is fitted with all-new equipment and designed for efficient service. Storage is generous throughout, with clever use of space beneath the wheelhouse and throughout the main deck.
Guest accommodation includes four cabins for up to eight guests. The owner’s suite is located forward on the main deck with a double bed and en-suite head, an uncommon feature for a yacht of this size and era. On the lower deck are two additional double staterooms and a double cabin with upper/lower berths, all with private en-suites. Crew quarters for three are located forward in two cabins, each with their own head.
Outdoor spaces are equally well-appointed. The aft deck offers a shaded lounge and dining area, while the flybridge features a fixed awning, wet bar, grill, and dining table. Forward, a sunbathing area provides additional guest space. Walkaround decks make for easy movement, and the 4.2m Grand RIB tender with Mercury 60hp outboard is stored on the flybridge and launched by crane.
Black Pepper stands out for her pedigree, layout, and extensive rebuilt. She is a rare opportunity for a buyer looking for a classic canoe-stern-style yacht with updated systems, strong cruising potential, and immediate availability.
