Main Description
VERSILCRAFT CHALLENGER 75 JULIETTE
A beautifully refitted Italian flybridge yacht with substantial mechanical investment already completed
Built by Versilcraft in Viareggio in 1986 and fitted out by Sanlorenzo, Juliette is a substantial 75ft Italian motor yacht offering a rare combination of classic styling, generous accommodation and serious cruising capability.
Her current owner has invested heavily in the yacht over a number of years, with major mechanical, electrical and interior works carried out to bring her to a high standard of reliability, comfort and usability.
This is not a yacht being offered as a refit project. The major expenditure has already been undertaken, allowing her next owner to concentrate on enjoying the boat rather than rebuilding it.

THE YACHT
Juliette has the proportions and presence of a classic Italian flybridge motor yacht, combined with the practical features expected of a modern cruising vessel.
Her 6m beam provides an exceptionally generous interior, while the five-cabin arrangement makes her particularly well suited to family cruising and extended time aboard.
The accommodation comprises a master double, two twin guest cabins and two further forward twin cabins, each with its own newly fitted en-suite bathroom. The interior has been extensively refurbished, with new headlining, mattresses and cushions, a new galley and appliances, walnut flooring and trim, and a rebuilt main saloon incorporating a bar area and additional storage.
The saloon itself has undergone a particularly significant rebuild, including 21 new windows, giving the main living space a fresh and contemporary feel while retaining the character of the original yacht.
MACHINERY & SYSTEMS
The three 760hp MAN main engines were fully rebuilt approximately seven years ago and fitted with new electronic controls. The work has been complemented by a comprehensive rewire, new skin fittings, seacocks and stern seals, renewed exhaust lagging and improved engine-room ventilation.
Recent investment includes a new 25kVA Fischer Panda generator alongside a rebuilt Beta 12kVA backup unit, CMC zero-speed stabilisation, automatic watermaking and wireless bow and stern thruster controls.
The result is a yacht with a substantial amount of the costly and disruptive ownership work already behind her.
BRIDGE & TECHNOLOGY
The bridge has been completely rebuilt and fitted with a modern Raymarine navigation suite, including three glass bridge displays, radar, AIS, autopilot, VHF and intercom.
A touchscreen vessel and engine monitoring system integrates with the electronic engine controls, while Starlink and a Raymarine camera system provide useful modern connectivity and monitoring capabilities.
EXTERIOR & FLYBRIDGE
The large flybridge provides an excellent entertaining and cruising space, with a bar and icemaker, new cushions and a substantial 800kg hydraulic crane.
The flybridge deck has been reinforced to accommodate the crane, while the bathing platform has received new teak. The foredeck has been recaulked and the hull and topsides repainted.
WHY JULIETTE
The attraction of Juliette is straightforward: she offers the space, presence and cruising capability of a much larger yacht, while a significant programme of investment has already addressed many of the major costs associated with owning a yacht of this age and size.
For a buyer seeking a genuine Italian flybridge motor yacht with five-cabin accommodation, substantial machinery and systems upgrades, and the ability to cruise immediately rather than embark on a lengthy refit, Juliette deserves serious consideration.
A distinctive, substantial and extensively refitted Versilcraft ready for her next owner and her next adventure.
