Superyacht International Autumn 2020

In what is still an unforgettable scene from the movie Ecce Bombo with Nanni Moretti as director and main character where he asks himself if he would be noticed more at a given party by sitting aside in a dark corner, or if he were not to go at all. As for the Monaco Yacht Show, the choice taken is for it not to take place as in fact we mentioned in the previous issue’s editorial. Perhaps the most important Yacht Show in the world dedicated to superyachts got plenty more attention that it did in the past for having intelligently renounced to host 2020’s unlucky edition: the year of the pandemic. There’s definitely more than a touch of fair play involved in this decision, no excuses were made and…

One of Gruppo Fipa’s brands, Maiora has recently presented the new Maiora 30 Convertible an elegant 30.60 metre elegant yacht featuring a particular fly-bridge. This yacht is referred to as Convertible because this deck comprises a covered area when needed which is also equipped with AC/DC, but also as an open space thanks to lateral window like ports and glazed door which open completely. The area is of approximately 50 square metres it is furnished with the most prestigious decor supplied by Italian brands and is enriched with some of the owner’s works of art from his private collection.

As for what has been decided concerning price the shipyard’s basic starting price has been pegged at 19,900,000 Euro. This has attracted many potential clients.

The GTT 160 is an avant-garde, sporty looking yacht featuring Hull Vane technology created to increase hydrodynamic efficiency despite the fact we’re talking about a fast displacing hull. This choice boasts better performance and fuel reduction while propelling the yacht to a top speed of 17 knots at top speed with a…

Codecasa has begun building a new 58 metre, construction C127 “on spec” which has been scheduled for delivery in Spring 2023. The yacht has been designed by the yard’s in house project design team led by Gianluca Imeri and Pierluigi Ausonio’s studio. The hull is a fast displacing one but derives from military units in which the shipyard has accumulated extensive know how optimised with the most modern technology to offer a top speed of about 20 knots which for a yacht of the size is considerable. “ We’ve taken into account drag effects from the beginning by opting for a longer waterline thanks to transom wedges and a vertical bow” said Imeri team leader and chief engineer. “the hypothesis of installing a beamier bow bulb in the bow has…

Tankoa Yachts has recently presented its smallest superyacht project. In the course of the last few years this Italian shipyard launched 70 and 50 metre long yachts and then decided to offer a smaller model: the T450 which has an LOA of 45 metres and a gross tonnage of just over 400GT. “Building on the extraordinary success of our 50 metre platform with Bintador and Vertige already delivered and two more in build, the T450 confirms Tankoa’s drive to build yachts below 500GT that are designed with a big boat mentality and quality” said Giuseppe Mazza, Sales Manager. “This new 45 metre has been designed to provide maximum flexibility and in terms of interior and exterior space it feels like a much larger vessel”. Giorgio Cassetta’s clear cut design has…
