Tecnomar Madras 20 - 2000

There are yachts that tell a story, and others that impose one. This Tecnomar Madras 20, launched in 2001 and fully refitted in 2019, belongs unmistakably to the latter category: a pure-bred open yacht that does not ask for attention—it commands it. Its sharp lines, aggressive stance and unmistakable presence make it instantly recognisable, while the technical substance beneath its surface places it in a league of its own, where performance, style and reliability coexist in perfect harmony. The moment the twin 1150 HP MTU engines come to life, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary 20 metre yacht. The Arneson surface drives lift it effortlessly onto the plane, turning every acceleration into an athletic, clean and powerful gesture. Cruising settles naturally around 32–35 knots, with a top speed approaching 45, delivering that intoxicating sense of freedom that only the finest Italian open yachts can offer. Despite its sporty soul, manoeuvrability remains impeccable thanks to both bow and stern thrusters, making every harbour approach smooth, elegant and controlled. The 2019 refit ushered this Madras into a new era. The entire electronics suite was replaced with the latest Raymarine technology: the commanding Axiom Pro chartplotter stands at the centre of the helm, flanked by the Quantum radar, the new autopilot and the VHF. On board, technology is not an accessory but a natural extension of the navigation experience. Entertainment has also been reimagined: the newly installed JL Audio system fills every space with rich, immersive sound, while the 8K OLED TV on the aft deck transforms evenings at anchor into a private cinema beneath the stars. The KVH satellite antenna ensures connectivity and content wherever the sea may lead. The exterior is a triumph of contemporary style. The cockpit and surrounding surfaces have been clad in carbon fibre, giving the yacht a modern, assertive character. All upholstery has been newly crafted in a bespoke blend of Sumbra fabric and leather, adding a refined and understated touch of luxury. The retractable hydraulic gangway and the hydraulically operated aft garage complete an aesthetic and functional ensemble where nothing has been left to chance. Inside, the atmosphere is warm, inviting and intelligently arranged. The three guest cabins, each with its own bathroom, offer privacy and comfort, while the crew cabin with dedicated facilities ensures impeccable service even during extended cruises. The reinforced air conditioning system guarantees perfect climate control throughout the yacht, and the saloon—with its integrated galley and TV—creates a convivial space ideal for enjoying life on board during quieter moments. Six guest berths plus one for crew make this Madras perfectly suited for dynamic weekends or longer coastal adventures. With 2,800 litres of fuel and 900 litres of fresh water, autonomy is more than generous, while the 9 kW Kohler generator ensures constant onboard power even during nights at anchor. Every detail has been conceived to deliver a complete, satisfying and uncompromising yachting experience.
