Description
BUILT TO RINA CLASS!
KARIBU is an exceptional 2011 Ferretti Custom Line 97 that seamlessly blends timeless Italian styling with an extensive list of modern upgrades, making her a truly turnkey opportunity. Meticulously maintained and continuously updated, she has undergone a comprehensive interior refit in 2024 along with significant mechanical, electrical, and cosmetic improvements through 2026.
Accommodating up to 12 guests in five beautifully appointed staterooms, KARIBU features a sought-after on-deck full-beam master suite complete with a private lounge, walk-in closet, vanity, and luxurious ensuite finished with granite countertops and mosaic tile. Below deck are two queen guest staterooms and two twin cabins with Pullman berths, each with private ensuite heads, while separate crew accommodations include a captain's cabin, two crew cabins, and a dedicated crew lounge.
The elegant interior showcases rich oak joinery, hardwood flooring, and all-new carpeting installed during the 2024 refit. The spacious salon offers generous seating, a formal dining area for eight, upgraded Samsung entertainment systems with surround sound, wine coolers, and refined finishes throughout. The galley has also been modernized with premium Miele and Bosch appliances, including a new induction cooktop, hood vent, and under-counter refrigerator/freezer.
Exterior spaces are designed for effortless entertaining and relaxation. The expansive flybridge features a hardtop with retractable canopy, oversized wet bar, American-style BBQ, refrigeration, ice maker, granite tables, and comfortable lounge seating. The teak aft deck offers alfresco dining for eight, while the hydraulic beach club garage accommodates a Williams 435 Jet Tender and custom water toy storage. Additional highlights include teak decks throughout, foredeck sunpads, Besenzoni hydraulic passerelle and davit, NEMO side boarding doors, and polished hull and topsides completed in 2026.
Powered by twin 2,000 HP MTU 16V 2000 M93 engines, twin 55kW Kohler generators, and equipped with low-hour Seakeeper 9 and Seakeeper 18 gyro stabilizers, KARIBU delivers exceptional performance and comfort underway. Extensive recent upgrades include four new Dometic variable-speed air conditioning chillers, rebuilt ASEA power converters, new engine and house batteries with chargers, new watermaker membranes, new blackwater and greywater pumps, serviced ABT bow thruster, serviced Besenzoni systems, Starlink connectivity, updated electronics, and numerous additional mechanical improvements.
