Sessa Marine C68 (2017) For sale

SESSA MARINE C68 CRUISER 2017 — VOLVO PENTA IPS 1200 — SEAKEEPER 9 — MONACO
This 2017 Sessa Marine C68 Cruiser represents one of the most compelling opportunities in the European pre-owned sportscruiser market. At 69 feet and 21 metres overall, she is the flagship expression of Italian yacht design — conceived by Christian Grande and engineered to deliver a standard of performance, comfort and aesthetic refinement that few production boats at this length can match.
Powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS D13-1200 engines producing a combined 1,800 HP, she delivers a cruising speed in excess of 25 knots and a top speed above 37 knots, with the characteristic smoothness and fuel efficiency that IPS propulsion is known for. The joystick docking system makes her entirely manageable in tight Mediterranean marinas, and with 614 engine hours on the clock, she is well within the early phase of her mechanical life — presenting a buyer with years of trouble-free operation ahead.
The most significant feature of this particular vessel is the factory-fitted Seakeeper 9 gyrostabiliser. On a 69-foot sportscruiser, roll reduction of this magnitude transforms the onboard experience entirely — whether at anchor in an exposed bay or running offshore in a moderate chop. Among the handful of Sessa C68s currently available worldwide, very few carry this specification. It is not an afterthought or a retrofit; it is integrated into the vessel's engineering and represents a replacement value of over €80,000 at current market rates.
Below decks, the three-cabin layout accommodates guests with genuine comfort. The full-beam master stateroom aft is a benchmark of what Italian yacht design can achieve in this size category — flooded with natural light through panoramic glazing, finished in warm wood veneers and leather, with a private en-suite and direct cockpit access that makes the owner's experience entirely separate from that of guests. Forward, a VIP cabin with double bed and en-suite, one guest cabin and an independent crew cabin complete an arrangement that works equally well for owner-operated weekend use or extended cruising with crew.
The cockpit is designed for Mediterranean living. Teak laid throughout, it centres on a large convertible sofa and sunbed arrangement around a telescopic teak table, with a three-panel sliding glass door that dissolves the boundary between cockpit and saloon. When fully open, the combined interior-exterior space becomes the social heart of the boat — something Sessa executed better than virtually any Italian builder of this era. The hydraulic swim platform, tender garage with electric winch, and foredeck sun lounge with bimini complete an exterior that is as practical as it is beautiful.
The saloon and galley continue the same logic of quality without compromise. The galley is fully equipped with a four-burner induction hob, integrated oven and microwave, 200-litre refrigerator, 65-litre freezer and Corian countertops. A dedicated wine cellar with ambient lighting — one of the C68's signature interior details — sits adjacent to the saloon, where panoramic glazing and LED mood lighting create an atmosphere closer to a boutique hotel suite than a production motor yacht.
She is located near Monaco for straightforward viewing.
