The 44m (144’) luxury motor yacht INK was launched in January and merges a blend of tradition and innovation from the Tuscan based shipyard. She is the main model of its Class category, a range of displacement speed, semi-custom, superyachts.
With exterior design by Giorgio M. Cassetta, motor yacht INK has high hull sides and an extremely long reverse sheer line. Huge glazed surfaces means the elegant interiors are flooded with natural light. Use of teak, steel and glass create a feeling of sophistication, whilst an outdoor stairway that climbs seamlessly from motor yacht INK’s point of entry to the top of the Sun Deck, makes you feel like you are on a much bigger yacht.
Diamond 145’s size offered the opportunity to develop an imposing vessel with a majestic bearing and highly contemporary detailing, combined with an approach to style that reflects the idea of a timeless yacht.

The Sun Deck, at 102 square meters (335’), is one the most spacious you will find in any similarly sized superyacht for sale. Furnished with a comfortable sofa and a dining area with a table and a large relaxation and sunbathing area aft, it is the perfect spot for getting away from it all and relaxing under the warmth of the sun.
The centerpiece of the Upper Deck is the pool in the bow and, amidships, a large living room with a dining table and even more space for relaxing.
On the Main Deck a huge amount of attention has been paid to allowing as much light in as possible. This has been successfully achieved with huge glazed surfaces and a wonderfully large glass salon door, that when opened also increases the sensation of the indoor and outdoor areas flowing seamlessly into each other.
The Main Deck is also where the expansive full-beam owner’s apartment can be found. Covering 60 square meters (197’), the suite has a large bathroom, roomy walk-in wardrobe and a separate office area that leads to the Master bedroom.
Full-width sliding glass doors in the transom open out onto an elegant beach area, complete with sofas and a bar and direct access to the sea.
A garage area is cleverly positioned completely separately from the rest of the yacht to prevent interfering with the owner and guests. It can accommodate a tender over 6m (20’) long, two 3m (10’) jet skis and various water toys.
On the Lower Deck are four double cabins with bathrooms for guests - two are VIP cabins with double beds and two are cabins with twin beds that can be converted into doubles. Here you will also find the five cabins for the crew of eight and the captain.
Superyacht INK is powered by two 1,400 HP MAN 12V engines, giving her a range of 5,000 nautical miles at 11 knots, a top speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots.
