The Magic is for sale…
This magnificent vessel boasts an impressive history: built in 1972 at the request of Mr. Martini (Bologna, Italy), its aluminum alloy hull was crafted by the Dal Fiume engineering workshops based on a design by Sparkman & Stephens, with all the interior fittings completed by the Carlini shipyard (Ravenna, Italy). Originally designed as a racing yacht, it nonetheless features the qualities of an offshore cruiser, with exceptional materials and uncompromising construction.
Meticulously maintained over the years, despite being 50 years old, it remains reliable, safe, and comfortable thanks to constant updates. With characteristics such as stability at all speeds, excellent seaworthiness, and impressive speed, the **Magic** is ideal for those looking to live aboard and embark on a new life adventure.
