Auction of 41m golden flagship Stefania rescheduled

The 41-metre Dynamiq superyacht Stefania is back on the auction block following her seizure in a money laundering case involving her owner, a Belarusian national. The agency for the management and recovery of seized and confiscated assets (AGRASC) has entrusted the firm De Baecque & Associés with organising the auction.

Stefania was expected to go under the hammer on 25 January 2024, though this was postponed by AGRASC and further delayed by a dry-docking period to uphold her RINA classification in April 2024. The auction is now confirmed for 27 March 2025, with bidders invited to attend the auction via telephone or in-person at La Ciotat shipyard.

Delivered in 2021, the metallic-gold superyacht has been "estimated between eight and 10 million euros", according to a statement released by De Baecque & Associés.

Accommodation is for 10 guests across five cabins, with further space for six crew. The firm noted Stefania's "real, wood-burning fireplace" and 2.2-metre-high ceilings as interior highlights. Designed by Giuseppina Arena, the yacht's art deco style incorporates lacquered wood, Calacatta Borghini marble and rich suedes and velvets.

Meanwhile, Stefania's large sundeck is arranged with a circular 10-seater dining table, sunpad, seating and drinks table aft, a day head, sit-up bar plus a circular Jacuzzi – with commanding views forward, flanked by more sunpads.

Prior registration is required to attend the auction.
