27m CASA and PLAYA Reduced to €5.95m and €4.95m

The 27.3-metre Wally motor yacht CASA and 27.4-metre Lynx Yachts support vessel PLAYA have received significant asking-price reductions, with Burgess now marketing CASA at €5.95 million and PLAYA at €4.95 million. The two yachts were conceived for the same owner as complementary parts of one programme, but each remains available to buy individually.

The revised pricing creates an unusual brokerage proposition because the two vessels perform deliberately different roles. CASA is the primary yacht, built around open-air living and guest accommodation, while PLAYA adds deck space, equipment capacity and support functions that would otherwise have to be incorporated into a larger mothership.

Burgess announced the new asking prices on 7 September 2026 and is presenting the pair around the Cannes Yachting Festival, with PLAYA displayed through Burgess and CASA available at anchor. The broker describes the opportunity as an established mothership-and-support-vessel pairing rather than two unrelated yachts being marketed at the same time.

CASA is now asking €5.95 million

CASA was built by Wally Yachts in Italy and delivered in 2016. Burgess lists her at 27.3 metres overall, with a 7.8-metre beam, 1.8-metre draft and 117 GT, accommodating up to eight guests in three cabins and carrying a crew of four.

The yacht reflects the open-plan approach associated with Wally and Luca Bassani Design, with large areas of glass and an emphasis on exterior living. Burgess highlights two substantial outdoor decks, a forward jacuzzi with sunpads and an owner’s suite that opens directly onto Wally’s terrace-on-the-sea arrangement.

Twin 345hp Caterpillar engines give CASA a published top speed of 12 knots and a cruising speed of 10 knots. Burgess states a range of 3,800 nautical miles at 10 knots, giving the yacht a long-range cruising capability that sits behind a design more immediately recognised for its open decks and connection with the water.

PLAYA falls to €4.95 million

PLAYA was delivered by Dutch builder Lynx Yachts in 2018 as a YXT 27 support yacht. The current Burgess listing gives a length of 27.4 metres, beam of 7.1 metres, draft of 1.8 metres and gross tonnage of 131, making her slightly longer and higher-volume than CASA despite serving the support role.

Her layout is designed around carrying equipment and extending the capabilities of another yacht. Burgess describes a large aft deck for tenders, toys, vehicles and adventure equipment, together with a beach-club-style watersports platform, while the interior includes a main lounge and guest accommodation for up to three people in one cabin.

PLAYA also carries facilities that go beyond basic tender storage. The current listing identifies a dedicated gym, sauna, steam room and hyperbaric wellness chamber, allowing the support yacht to absorb fitness, recovery and activity functions that do not need to take space away from the primary yacht.

Power comes from twin 850hp Caterpillar engines. Burgess publishes a cruising speed of 12.5 knots and a maximum speed of 14 knots, while the vessel is listed with CE Category A and MCA SCV Code Category 2 notation in the broker’s current specification.

The attraction is the separation of roles

The pairing was developed because the owner wanted to preserve CASA’s character rather than replace it with a much larger yacht simply to gain more storage and activity space. Burgess explained in an earlier August feature that PLAYA became the operational and activity-focused companion, leaving CASA to remain centred on relaxed living and guest use.

That distinction is important in a market where support vessels are often associated with substantially larger motherships. Here, the two yachts are almost identical in length, but their internal volume, deck use and operating purposes are different enough to create a two-vessel programme without requiring one yacht to accommodate every function.

For a buyer considering both, the practical appeal is not just the combined deck space. Tenders, toys and technical activity can be separated from the primary yacht, while PLAYA can still host guests and provide its own wellness facilities, giving the owner more flexibility when the vessels operate together or when one is used independently.

Buying the pair would mean running two yachts

The two-yacht concept also comes with an obvious operational consideration: acquiring both vessels means maintaining, insuring, crewing, berthing and managing two separate yachts. The revised combined asking prices total €10.9 million before acquisition costs, but the purchase price is only one part of the ownership decision because each vessel continues to carry its own operating requirements.

That does not make the pairing uneconomic by definition. For an owner who would otherwise buy a substantially larger yacht to obtain more tender capacity, watersports equipment, wellness space and flexible guest areas, two specialised vessels can offer a different route to the same lifestyle objective, particularly where the primary yacht’s existing design is already well suited to owner use.

The calculation will depend on the intended programme, crew structure, cruising areas and whether the buyer genuinely needs the support functions. A purchaser interested only in CASA’s Wally design or PLAYA’s support capability can acquire either yacht separately, so the revised prices should be assessed both individually and as a possible fleet solution.

Cannes gives buyers a chance to compare both concepts

The timing of the price reductions places the yachts in front of buyers during one of the Mediterranean market’s busiest September periods. Burgess says PLAYA is being shown during the Cannes Yachting Festival while CASA is available at anchor, creating an opportunity to inspect the contrasting approaches within the same sales campaign.

Seen individually, CASA is a low-slung Wally motor yacht focused on guest living, while PLAYA is a steel-hulled support platform designed around payload and activity. Seen together, they illustrate a broader ownership strategy in which lifestyle spaces and operational equipment are divided between two vessels rather than concentrated into one larger build.

The new asking prices are the material change in the current market story. CASA is now offered at €5.95 million and PLAYA at €4.95 million through Burgess, with availability and pricing stated by the broker as current at the time of its 7 September announcement.
