introduction
Sultana was built at the Feadship yard of De Vries in Aalsmeer, the Netherlands. Launched at the beginning of the “Italian affair” that saw the collaboration between Feadship and Carlo Riva for the build of the Caravelle Series, Sultana (originally M/Y Din Dina) were delivered to their Italian Owners in 1969. Sultana has carried previous names including Peer Gynt, Din-Dina, Lady Marina, Bandol and Galleon.The major rebuild of the Sultana was successfully completed in summer 2012 at Feadship’s yard in Makkum. The extensive project was carried by the dedicated Feadship refit department in close cooperation with the owner’s team. The briefing of the rebuild was as follows: - Maintain the yacht’s classic feel and pedigree
- Create a platform for comfortable cruising and entertainment
- Make optimum use of the outside areas both on the main deck and the sundeck
- Fit in a new interior for the owners, guests and the crew in a simple, warm and contemporary style
- Install a multifunctional power generation and storage system using main engine driven alternators and batteries in combination with the diesel generators. This would allow silent overnight stays while at anchor and optimize fuel consumption levels
- Restore the existing Gardner main engines to be the engine room gems they were originally
Following a sale in early 2021, Sultana underwent a series of further significant refits at Monaco Marine Beaulieu, to bring her into pristine condition for her new owner. Technically, her Gardner engines were once again rebuilt, a new generator was fitted, her lithium batteries were replaced, her sundeck received new teak, and she underwent a full repaint. Her interiors also were overhauled with a new enclosed galley being installed, a full laundry room fitted, new access to the master cabin giving space for a private crew space on the bridge, all new carpets and wall linings, along with a new AV system throughout with Starlink. Sultana now represents an opportunity to purchase a truly turn-key classic yacht in pristine condition throughout.

aft deck
Sultana’s classic canoe stern offers an aft deck under the extended top deck which includes a built-in U-shaped settee aft that will accommodate guests around an extendable teak varnished wood table.
upper deck
The upper deck has a large aft sun bed featuring an integrated table that can be raised to transform into a dining / lounge seating. The center of the upper deck has lounge sofas with coffee table.Forward, above the wheelhouse is a further 8-person sun bed with seating. The chimney houses 1 fridges and a wet point with hot/cold water. The tab acts also as a shower.The sundeck is covered with high tension “shade sails”. The supports for the shade sails have LED directional spots which illuminates indirectly the shade sails at night.
salon
The salon was fully reconfigured by Monaco Marine during her recent extensive refit. Step through the automatic opening teak door into a large salon finished in walnut and upholstery.An "L" shaped settee is to port and opposite is a full-length cabinet with including a built-inpop-up LED TV, an icemaker and drinks fridge to serve the aft deck and salon. The forward wall next to the sofa includes deep storage drawers and wine fridge. The stairs to the guest cabins and laundry room are found aft to port. Forward to starboard is access to the master cabin via a private staircase and the crew spaces.The salon has a glass panel in the floor to show the immaculately restored Gardner main engines. The engine room lighting is adapted to offer “ambiance” light in the evenings into the salon.
pilot house & galley
The revised layout now separates the galley and pilot house from the remainder of Sultana’s interior accommodation. The galley features all new appliances, large preparation spaces and built in fridge freezers.The pilot house can be accessed through the galley, and through two “Dutch doors” either side which can provide access to the main deck. The pilot house also offers a crew mess space with 2 raised L shaped settees and tables, allowing full panoramic views. The settees can be coupled to extend the seating for up to 8 people.All bridge and navigation equipment can be electrically lowered to completely hide all controls and navigation systems.The extensive rebuild transformed the pilothouse in a neat and clean area leaving whilst still boasting the original (restored) steering wheel, engine controls and compass.
accommodations
Sleeps 6 in 3 guest cabins plus 4 crew in 2 cabins. Sultana was previously configured with 4 guest cabins, one of which has been converted to a dedicated laundry room.
master cabin
The master cabin is forward and has a queen size bed, a built-in walnut desk, settee, large drawers featuring a locker cabinet and 1 large walk-in wardrobe. 4 large hull windows flood the cabin with natural light and stunning sea views. The large owner’s bathroom was recently rebuilt with fresh stone and fittings. The ensuite offers a large 2-person bath and a large hull window with sea views. There is a separate “rain” shower and toilet.As with all other cabins, new smart TV’s have been installed. The master cabin also has a superior AV system, with a soundbar hidden behind the wall linen under the TV, producing excellent quality noise and vibration when watching a movie or listening to music.
vip & guest cabin:
Below deck and aft, is the VIP cabin with ensuite bathroom. Down the same staircase you will find a further guest cabins with ensuite midships, which can double as a dayhead. Like with the master cabin, all bathrooms have been rebuilt in the recent refit. To port on the lower deck aft, a dedicated laundry room can be accessed.
crew quarters
The crew cabins are accessed through the foredeck “doghouse”. There are 2 crew cabins with 2 superposed beds in each cabin. The port cabin has an upper bed that can be extended to provide a double bed. There is a large crew shower and toilet, with ample storage.
storage
Below the crew quarters is a large storage area.
bulbous bow
A bulbous bow was fitted during the rebuild to reduce fuel consumption, compensate added weight in the bow and for better sea keeping.Sultana’s sea keeping is more comfortable due to much less pitching against the waves. Also, the bow contains the underwater camera and light.
entertainment systems
All cabins and the salon are equipped with a freshly upgraded smart TV’s. The salon, aft deck and upper deck are equipped with a HEOS (Denon) sound system. This system allows remote control by either the HEOS app, or any PC, Mac, tablet or smart phone. All areas can play synchronized music, or separate music choices and volumes.
technical systems
All technical systems are concentrated in the engine room. The waste tank, boilers, pumps, hydraulic power packs are fully rebuilt in 2012. By keeping all systems in the engine, it has reduced the interior noise and prevents any guest spaces being disturbed should a fault arise. Under Sultana’s current ownership, there have been significant technical upgrades including the rebuild of her Gardner engines and a new generator installed.
toilet system
A “Gravity” based sewage system for the toilets allows for “silent” flushing. This system does not have any noise producing pumps or macerators in or under the cabins.
electric systems
A total of 3920 amps maintenance free batteries provides up to 12-hours of autonomous power for all systems. This includes power for all 220- and 380-volts consumers including air- conditioning, pumps, lighting etc.All lighting is LED and dimmable. Using LED reduces the power consumption with 75% for lighting.This system allows complete “silent” running while at anchor, or in port without shore power.While underway on either one or two Gardner main engines, each main engine provides ample charging power to maintain/charge the batteries and still have all systems running. The use of the auxiliary generator is not needed while cruising.
heat recovery
All waste heat for cooling the main engines or generator is reused for heating the warm water supply.Pre-heating, or maintaining operation temperature for the main engines is taken from the generator’s cooling system, electric or diesel burner.
fuel economy
Sultana’s propulsion, hull design and engines allow for a low fuel consumption. With the correct conditions, guests enjoy a reduction of around 30% less than a conventional yacht of this size. She can cruise with just 33 litres per hour consumption total from both engines running.
engine room
The engine room was completely rebuilt with new systems in during the 2012 refit. The main engines had a full 2022 rebuild, repainted with special 2 component paint, chromed details and polished copper piping.The engine room layout allows easy access to all systems, ensuring reduced maintenance and repair costs.There is full electronic main engine monitoring through a NMEA 2000 system. There are sensors for measuring each cylinder exhaust temperature, 2 point water temperature, rpm sensors for prop shafts and engines to allow precise synchronizing. Vacuum meters on all fuel filters, allowing replacement only when needed. Temperature regulated ventilation to reduce power consumption. Maintenance free prop shaft stuffing boxes. Full toolkit, including Gardner special tools and workbench.
reliability
M/Y Sultana was rebuilt with all modern systems, should there be a mayor power/electronics failure, her rebuild ensures that she can still run in all circumstances.The main engines can be manually started, and power will then be generated with one or all 4 alternators of 400 amps capacity each.The engine controls are 100% mechanically operated, no electric or hydraulic power required. Each engine still has mechanical temperature and oil pressure gauges fitted.Fuel supply can be rapidly chosen for each engine from either the forward or aft tanks, should the unfortunate instance that one of the tanks is contaminated.There are 3 ways to pump the bilges; fire pump, regular bilge pump or main engine seawater pump.The AC power can be supplied directly from shore or generator, should there be an issue with any of the 3 Victron converters.
