Happy 3 is a 22.1 m Yaretti 2210 motor yacht built in 2004, with a GRP planing hull and a layout centered on charter use rather than minimalist private cruising. The boat’s proportions, flybridge, and 3-cabin arrangement give it a classic mid-size motor-yacht profile with enough volume for group charters and short-stay cruising.[1][2][11]
On the water, the twin 1000 hp Caterpillar engines support a cruising speed of about 18 knots and a top speed of around 22 knots, which is strong for this class.[1][2][11] Handling should be helped by the bow thruster, autopilot, radar, and generator, while the planing hull suggests a confident ride at speed rather than a displacement-style passage.[2][6][8]
Comfort is a key strength. Verified listings describe 3 cabins, 6 guests, 2 crew, and 3 bathrooms, alongside air conditioning, Wi-Fi, TV, BBQ, deck shower, indoor dining, and a well-equipped galley with microwave, oven, cooker, ice maker, and freezer.[2][3][6][8][12] Refits reported in 2020, 2021, or 2022 indicate the yacht has been kept current, although the differing refit years and one conflicting listing on cabins/capacity mean buyers should verify the exact configuration before booking.[1][4][9][10][11]
In value terms, Happy 3 looks competitive as a spacious crewed charter yacht with a large equipment set and a proven 22 m platform.[5][10] Its main trade-off is operating cost: the twin high-output engines and charter-oriented systems point to strong capability, but not especially low running expense.
