Innholdsfortegnelse for Autumn 2022 i Superyacht International

MCP 37.4 is the second yacht a true-blue owner ordered from Brazilian yard MCP Yachts, specialized in steel custom yachts. it is also the third yacht stemming from the yard’s cooperation with Dutch naval architecture studio Vripack, that also gave birth to the previous 75-foot yacht of the same owner. On creating the boat, Vripack focused on the owner’s wish to spend most of his time at anchor, enjoying secluded bays and sea pleasure: the result was a relaxation-oriented layout, to make the most of conviviality, especially outside. The yacht is actually forced to sail in hot South American climates. The large cockpit already shows three distinct and distinctively used areas. A furnished dining area on one side, sunbathing cushions on the other, a large bow lounge fully equipped with…

The first unit of the new Custom Line Navetta 50, new flagship for the Ferretti Group brand, will be launched in 2024. Entirely alluminium made, Navetta 50 stems from the cooperation between the Group divisions and architect Filippo Salvetti, who signed the exterior, and studio ACPV architects (Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel), in charge for the project architecture and interior design. 49.90 metres long and 9.60 wide, the four-deck yacht’s layout is totally centred on the owner’s suite. Upper deck, bow, wrapped in its full height glass windows for a 180° view and directly accessing a private balcony with sunset solarium. “We used different languages for the Navetta project, depending on where we are on the boat: hull or superstructure, that is, above the main deck. In the lower deck guests’…

“We are good at what we do because we like it. We face every new project with new enthusiasm and never allow ourselves disillusionment or cynicism- Carlo Nuvolari’s first words- our long experience in sailing is a crucial aspect of every single project of ours. I have always been puzzled by seeing how many people work for this industry without sailing or any direct connection with the sea, from designers to builders. It is not something you can do without, to design any yacht”. Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Leonard’s enthusiasm does not change if they work for superyacht yards like Palmer Johnson, Oceanco, Lurssen, CRN, or they create a mass production boat for Groupe Bénéteau, Cantieri di Sarnico, or Vizianello’s venetian taxi. Over these last thirty years the team have…

Overmarine “Countless drafts on paper, pencils to etch every single detail, I want a perfect looking motoryacht, strong and sleek, with shades and reflexes of a sculpture, a perfect ratio between full and empty as if alluminium were laid on a moving being; I’ll get perfect balance between soft and stiff lines, then a mark to highlight glass windows, to be stretched like one single trait which joins interior and exterior. I’ll figure out decks, jutting out one of the other, engraved by the wind. It’s not enough though. So, I’ll cut it out, to make alluminium look like a cloth, and throw indirect lights through the slots to highlight and enhance hidden surfaces….and that’s the way my thought admires her, in a Caribbean night, as a stunning bay below…

Marco Arnaboldi, naval engineer, best Italian expert in high speed at sea, current repository of waterjet propulsion culture. Fabio Buzzi’s former role, when Marco was still a student. Manuela Lucchesi, lawyer, business-woman, designer, keen on aesthetics and beauty in general. Both born in Viareggio, schoolmates and long-standing friends, they once met up and merged their vision on high performance yachts, pure aesthetics and strong sustainability. They went the e x t r a mile, forgot the risks connected with founding a company, and founded Centouno Navi together. Let’s face the topic with them. How were you so brave to open a new yard? That’s what we were asked decades ago, when a new magazine was founded… M.A. We met again, after the school years. She is a lawyer, but has…

Specialized in audio/video, entertainment, IT, lighting & comfort, and after installing countless systems on yachts superyachts around the world, Videoworks have witnessed a sharp rise in their service request, so as to require a worldwide expansion. The Company’s headquarter in Italy is in Ancona, Videoworks SpA, yet they have offices in Milan, Viareggio, and Cote d’Azur; to meet increasing request, Videoworks Europe BV was opened in Holland, and Videoworks of America Inc was opened in Fort Lauderdale, US.

A thrilling ceremony in the Livorno yard, to stick with a thirty year-long tradition, was the background for launching B.Yond 37M, the new Benetti Voyager. The yard’s choice was unusual, for the boat’s size: going back to steel. Indeed, they simply quoted their own past; they went “back” to the 50s and 60s, when the yard was unquestioned leader in 20-30 metre metal yachts production. B.Yond 37M sails by combining SCR catalytic filters -gas control technology, which Ad Blue urea based liquid made it possible to use in automotive industry for Diesel Euro 6D engines- with the new E-mode Hybrid System by Siemens Energy, whose extremely simple handling allows shifting from mechanic to electric propulsion and vice-versa. This ensures a reduction in CO2 and NOx emissions which had never been…

When unveiled, last year in Cannes, Wally Why 200 took industry and the general public by storm for being a new way to look at a ship: a spacious, economical and comfortable yacht yet quick and fully enjoyable outside, like a modern one. Crowned with Wally’s unmistaken style! The Monaco based yard simply offers Why 200’s distinctive features in a smaller size. Luca Bassani, Wally’s Founder and Chief Designer explains the inspiration behind the model: “The design is based on her bigger sister, the wallywhy200.

Founded in 2007 as an evolution of Fratelli Rossi Yard, Rossinavi have always made their point by staying out of trends and fashions, as their production shows. More than any other designer, Enrico Gobbi and his Venetian studio Team for Design probably contributed to the stylistic features of Rossinavi’s entire fleet, as he penned some of the most outstanding boats of the Tuscan yard. True, searching for more and more innovative design certainly allowed Rossinavi to raise their limits before any new project, as they are doing with the new ideas they are devising with Fulvio de Simoni and Pininfarina. Yet there’s more to it, the yard has recently experimented new technology and concepts. An example of this comes from 44-metre catamaran “Oneric”, designed by studio Zaha Hadid Architects for…

The two extremes of a boat, bow and aft, are the least visible parts of the boat herself. While sailing, of course. No wonder these parts of a ship were, and still are, often used as technical areas. To host anchor and warping equipment, bow and aft; or maybe the rudder lanyard, aft, or the boatswain area, bow. Respectively, the room hosting rudder handling equipment and the one where all the boatswain’s equipment is stored. To cut it short, they’re not the most liveable areas in the ship, nor the most comfortable, fully undergoing accelerations and movements in case of rough sea. Without considering that ships, unlike recreational boats, must respect a safety regulations that imposes a bow safety area on them, marked by the so called collision bulkhead, covering…

These are Germàn Frers’s first words to describe the new flagship of the Maxi Swan fleet, whose 50 year long history boasts 28 different models. Three of these were designed by Sparkman and Stephens, and as many as 25 by Frers, who has been working for the yard since 1980. His achievements…

This new 30-foot marks the rise of a new brand, BMComposite Linx, a Spanish company specialized in mixed material construction. As a fact, this is a custom project for the owner of a 63-metre; it will make a basis though, a launchpad for the brand later production.

And, of course, the boat must be…

While equally large displacing yachts line up at 13knots maximum speed, 143’ Trideck’s reaches 24, the result was obtained by optimizing hull lines, carefully studied in naval pool.
