M/Y CONTANGO 2006 a Imperia Pronta Consegna

MY CONTANGO is a privately owned Mochi Craft Dolphin 74, the flagship of the Dolphin range, combining classic lobster-style lines with the volumes and feel of a small ship. Built by Ferretti Group in 2006 and kept in private family use only, she offers a full-beam master cabin, VIP double cabin, twin guest cabin, dedicated office cabin and two crew cabins for three crew — a very comfortable layout for Mediterranean family cruising.

Between 2021 and 2026 CONTANGO has undergone a continuous, captain-driven refit and maintenance programme that takes her well beyond a typical 2006 yacht. On the technical side, key upgrades include a complete Raymarine navigation and communication suite; a Peplink 5G network fully integrated with Starlink satellite internet; two Kohler generators — a 20.5 kW unit installed new in 2023 with start-up report and an approx. 9 kW original unit, both with low hours; extensive MTU 12V 2000 works in 2023 by an MTU specialist (high-pressure fuel pumps and injectors overhauled and re-installed with new seals and gaskets, fuel system cleaned and checked, valve clearances adjusted, ECU diagnostics with no faults); an overhauled Idromar watermaker with both low- and high-pressure pumps replaced and new membranes fitted in 2023; Tohmei ARG MSM 4000 gyro stabilisers inspected in 2024 and reported in very good condition; renewal of the main engine seawater inlet valves and through-hull fittings; replacement of the fresh-water tanks and renewal of the grey-water tank; servicing of fresh, grey and black water pumps, air-conditioning seawater pumps and both generators; and complete cleaning of all air-conditioning ducts throughout the yacht.

Comfort and cosmetic works have received the same attention: the hull and superstructure have been repainted, the tender-garage door opening system renewed, the passerelle hydraulics fully serviced with Bluetooth control, the trim system serviced, both side doors serviced and the helm station re-upholstered in new leather, with a new flybridge table installed. The crew area has been upgraded with a new washing machine, fridge and microwave, creating a proper crew galley; the tender garage has been repainted and fitted with a new rolling launch system for the jet ski; the main galley has a new double-door fridge; the master cabin bathroom, including the shower, has been fully renovated; and new mattresses have been fitted in the master and crew cabins. A new interior and exterior audio system (2021), upgraded CCTV and thermal cameras and a fully serviced water-toys package complete the refit picture.
