broker’s comments - highlights
Black Pepper (ex Koheilan) is a true “gentleman’s motor yacht” with timeless and elegant lines built in 1975 by Cantieri di Lavagna, Italy. She features a solid steel round bilged hull with a draft of approx. 2.4m/8’ and is powered by twin MAN heavy duty diesel engines of 560 hp each (new installed 2026), reaching a comfortable cruising speed of approx. 9 knots with a 1.500 nm range.
Black Pepper offers a lot of exterior deck space with a spacious aft deck, walk-around side decks and an upper deck with sun awning, sunbathing area and mini-bar with grill. On the main deck there is a saloon area which has been completely restyled under current ownership and forward there is the owner’s stateroom with full exterior views. The interior is finished in mat varnished wood. On the lower deck there are two double bedded guest cabins, one cabin with two single beds, the galley and the crew quarters in the bow area including a crew mess. All cabins have their ensuite head. Black Pepper had a complete refit in the period 2022-2024 at STP, Mallorca including a rebuild of the hull under the waterline including installation of new Humphree electric zero-speed fin stabilizers, a complete exterior Awlgrip paintjob, full interior refit of saloon and cabins, new galley layout and appliances and furthermore, an overhaul of all her main machinery, systems and installations. A more detailed summary of the recent refit is available on request.
