Description

Available for order with Smart Yachts. The Perini Navi 56 Ketch is a 56-metre sailing superyacht developed in collaboration with Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design. Built in aluminium with a gross tonnage below 500 GT, she combines regatta-ready performance with long-range cruising comfort. Her ketch rig features twin masts (60m and 56.5m) and a full-carbon sail plan of approximately 2,300 m², managed by Perini Navi’s advanced sail-handling systems for safe, efficient manoeuvring.

Expansive decks and clean exterior lines define the Perini Navi 56 Ketch, offering seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The open stern and generous lounging areas enhance connection with the sea, while large windows flood interiors with natural light. Inside, refined woodwork, modern furnishings, and open-plan saloons create a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere.

Accommodation is arranged for 10 guests across 5 spacious cabins, including a full-beam master suite. Ten crew members operate from 5 dedicated cabins, ensuring discreet, high-level service on extended voyages. The Perini Navi 56 Ketch is powered by a single CAT C32 970 kW engine, delivering a cruising speed of 11 knots and a transoceanic range of 4,000 nautical miles.

With 38,000 litres of fuel capacity and robust engineering, the Perini Navi 56 Ketch is built for global exploration. Every detail reflects a balance of beauty, function, and seafaring heritage.

Smart Yachts would be glad to talk through PERINI NAVI 56 KETCH from Monaco, and to establish whether her 2028 build year remains open.
