VENDETTA is a 17.5m (57.4ft) motor yacht of composite construction delivered in 2005 by the American builder, Derecktor Shipyard. This classic style yacht has the character of a 1920s commuter yacht with modern technology and amenities. Designed by the naval architect, Doug Zurn, this one-of-a-kind yacht was refitted in 2019 and presents in immaculate condition.
She has a top speed of 45 knots and cruises at 35 knots
VENDETTA was originally built as a luxury commuter yacht for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame musician, Billy Joel. She was designed to be the fastest Long Island Sound commuter yacht, with the range and stability of a much larger yacht. Now owned by an experienced yachtsman, she has been upgraded and maintained to the highest degree.
Wraparound and occasional seating on the aft deck
The semi-enclosed cockpit is surrounded by windows, giving an outdoor feel while providing protection from the natural elements. During the 2019 refit, the aft deck was redesigned with entertaining in mind, including wraparound seating finished in Italian leather and a removable awning for sun or shade as required.

Her elegant interior features a bright and open dining and lounging area finished with high gloss mahogany cabinetry and new teak flooring. Forward of the saloon is a bathroom with shower.
