At an estimated cost of over US$ 50million, she is the largest single-masted yacht ever built and became a reality in May 2004. Mirabella V was launched in November of 2003 and her mast was stepped six weeks later. She proceeded to the Mediterranean in June and completed five weeks charter in her first season. Mirabella V is one of a fleet of super-yachts owned by former Chairman and CEO of the Avis car rental company, Joe Vittoria, and used for luxury private charters.
The boat has a master suite on the main deck and six cabins for as many as 12 guests. To avoid scuffing the teak wood decks, visitors are asked by the crew to remove their shoes. The boat’s lazarette, similar to a garage, has a 29-foot (8.8 m)-long tender for transporting guests to shore. Also on the boat are Lasers, jet skis, ski boats, kayaks and three remote-controlled models of Mirabella V. On the yacht’s deck, near the bow, there are swimming pools that are also used as storage for two launches. The yacht has a crew of 14.
This revolutionary composite super yacht presented unique challenges to the leading designers and engineers involved in her creation. Performance was a key demand of this pioneering vessel, with special emphasis on windward capability, and her brief had called for a speed exceeding 20 knots under sail. This ground breaking yacht incorporates every facility for the luxury corporate and private charter market.
Mirabella V is available for charter Summers in the Mediterranean, and Winters in the Caribbean. The charter during high season is 400,000 to 425.000 US$ per week.
