43.5m Tecnomar THIS IS IT Reduced €4m to €42m

Royal Yacht International has announced a €4 million price reduction on the 43.5-metre Tecnomar motor catamaran THIS IS IT, bringing the asking price to €42 million. The broker’s live inventory page now shows the same €42 million figure, aligning the reduction announcement with the yacht’s current public asking price.

The timing places the yacht back in focus immediately before the Monaco Yacht Show 2026, where Royal Yacht International says THIS IS IT will be displayed from 23 to 26 September. The yacht is listed for the show in Monaco, giving prospective buyers a chance to inspect one of the most unconventional large catamarans currently on the brokerage market.

A €4 million reduction ahead of Monaco

The new €42 million asking price represents a significant adjustment for a yacht delivered only in 2024. Royal Yacht International describes THIS IS IT as a 43.5-metre Tecnomar motor catamaran and markets her around the combination of very high internal volume, broad beam and architectural glazing made possible by the twin-hull platform.

The broker states that the yacht will be on display during Monaco Yacht Show at Berth R06 on Quai Rainier Ier. That show presence makes the timing commercially important because Monaco brings together buyers, brokers, shipyards and advisers focused primarily on the larger end of the yacht market, precisely where THIS IS IT competes despite her comparatively modest length.

At 758 GT with a beam of 14.5 metres, THIS IS IT carries substantially more enclosed and deck volume than a conventional monohull of similar length. Royal Yacht International describes more than 600 square metres of floor-to-ceiling glazing, giving the yacht a visual identity based as much on architecture and natural light as on conventional superyacht styling.

Catamaran volume changes the 43-metre proposition

The yacht accommodates up to 12 guests in six staterooms, with a master suite that includes a king-size bed, private lounge and panoramic terrace. The listing also identifies a pool, spa, private cinema and vertical gardens among the principal lifestyle features, positioning the yacht as a high-volume residence rather than simply a fast multihull.

RYI’s live listing gives a 2.2-metre draft, aluminium construction and an 11-person crew complement. The shallow draft is notable when considered alongside the 14.5-metre beam because it gives the catamaran access advantages in some cruising grounds, although berth width and marina availability remain important operational considerations for a vessel of this configuration.

The asymmetric exterior and large glazed surfaces are central to the yacht’s identity. Rather than disguising the width required by the catamaran platform, the design turns that geometry into a feature, using curved structures, large openings and broad terraces to create spaces that would be difficult to reproduce on a monohull at the same overall length.

Brokerage value versus replacement cost

Price reductions on recent yachts are closely watched because they reveal how sellers are responding to the gap between new-build replacement cost and the price buyers are prepared to pay for immediate delivery. THIS IS IT is effectively available without the construction wait associated with a new 40-metre-plus custom yacht, but the €4 million reduction shows that immediacy does not remove the need to price a highly individual yacht competitively.

The yacht’s unusual architecture can work both ways in the brokerage market. Buyers specifically looking for catamaran volume, shallow draft and a residential layout may find few close substitutes, while buyers comparing conventional monohulls have a much broader field from which to choose at similar price points.

Royal Yacht International is the sales broker currently marketing the yacht, and its live listing identifies THIS IS IT as being in new condition. The broker has not disclosed the seller’s target timeline, but the price adjustment immediately before Monaco creates a clear opportunity to test buyer response during one of the industry’s most concentrated sales periods.

Inside, RYI describes a palette of leather, oak, teak, grey marble and metallic accents, with the main accommodation designed around large glazed areas and open sightlines. The broker also names furnishings by Minotti and pieces associated with designers including Rodolfo Dordoni, Nendo and Gordon Guillaumier, reinforcing the residential character used to position the yacht.

The six-stateroom arrangement is supported by accommodation for 11 crew, an unusually substantial service complement for a yacht of this length. That crew number reflects the volume and hospitality programme enabled by the catamaran layout, where more guest space, more exterior area and specialist amenities also create a greater service and maintenance workload.

From an ownership perspective, the beam is both the defining advantage and the main logistical variable. A 14.5-metre-wide yacht provides extraordinary deck area, but owners and captains must consider berth availability, marina geometry and yard access differently from a conventional 43-metre monohull, making the intended cruising programme especially important when evaluating the yacht.

The €42 million figure also arrives with the yacht already completed and operational. Buyers avoiding a multi-year custom-build programme gain immediate access to a highly distinctive platform, while the reduction narrows the gap between THIS IS IT and other recent 40-to-50-metre yachts available on the brokerage market.

THIS IS IT returns to Monaco with a sharper asking price

For Tecnomar, THIS IS IT remains an important showcase of what a large aluminium catamaran can deliver in volume and visual impact. Her 758 GT figure is especially striking at 43.5 metres, and the wide platform supports a level of guest space that would normally push a conventional yacht into a longer length category.

For buyers, the more relevant question is whether that additional volume and distinctive architecture justify the operational trade-offs that come with a 14.5-metre beam. Monaco Yacht Show provides an unusually useful setting to make that assessment because buyers can compare THIS IS IT directly with conventional yachts across a wide range of lengths and asking prices.

The yacht enters that comparison at €42 million following the latest reduction. With the current RYI inventory page matching the announced price and the Monaco display confirmed, the brokerage position is now clear ahead of the show.
