This 1999 Diano 26 is a mahogany motor yacht built by the Italian yard Cantiere Navale Diano to the designer Mario Diano's own specifications. The 26-metre hull was constructed using traditional methods — mahogany planking with teak decks — that deliver structural rigidity and durability. Twin Caterpillar 3412 diesel engines each producing 1,300 hp power the yacht to a cruising speed of 21 knots and a maximum speed of 28 knots. With a fuel capacity of approximately 8,000 litres, the yacht has a range of roughly 600 nautical miles at cruising speed, and a draft of 2.7 metres suits shallow-water exploration and anchoring.
The accommodation spans seven cabins and twelve heads, providing substantial space for family or charter use. The interior and all systems were comprehensively renewed in 2023, including a complete interior refresh, full exterior repaint, and updated galley equipment throughout. The deck layout features teak throughout, consistent with the yacht's traditional build quality.
The 2023 refit brought the yacht's condition and systems to current standards while preserving the characteristics of Italian mahogany construction. Caterpillar 3412 engines are among the most widely supported diesel powerplants in global yacht service, ensuring straightforward maintenance and parts availability.
