Her master suite is full-beam and situated forward of the main deck, thanks to a run of large windows, her owner will be able to enjoy panoramic views from the comfort of his suite. Four guest staterooms can be found on the lower deck, and comprise two VIPs and two guest suites. On the upper deck is the final and more versatile stateroom that can be used as a VIP suite, a children’s play area, a gym or an office. Enzo can also carry 10 crew.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/245717/image/large-a9a2a085ae130146109943ae97d0f7c4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/245717"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Horacio Bozzo Design (Company)">Horacio Bozzo</a> wrote socialisation directly into Enzo’s DNA, and her epicentre is the large aft section of the main deck, which seamlessly flows into the saloon and dining area. The main deck aft is complimented by a 136 square-metre beach club, which includes an infinity pool, an alfresco dining area and fold-out balconies both port and starboard.&nbsp;According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Horacio Bozzo Design (Company)">Horacio Bozzo</a>, Enzo has the largest sundeck in her category. The sun deck is certainly capacious, boasting 146 square-metres of space. It comes fitted with a sheltered dining and lounge area and a second infinity pool.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/245716/image/large-ef7c72cc2e8af3b73939fd4742e8e06e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/245716">Enzo will be constructed with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure.

Horacio Bozzo is a yacht designer and naval architect from Argentina who moved to Italy, the birthplace of his parents, after graduating from university. He heads up two studios, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Horacio Bozzo Design (Company)">Horacio Bozzo Design</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1403" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Axis Group Yacht Design (Company)">Axis Group Yacht Design</a>, which specialise respectively in exterior design and marine engineering. He currently has four custom motor yachts in build: two projects with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/375" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baglietto S.p.A. (Company)">Baglietto</a> of 54 and 40 metres due for delivery this year, a 49-metre at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1080" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rossinavi (Company)">Rossinavi</a>, and a 43-metre at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) (Company)">Cantiere delle Marche</a>. Curious to know more about how a designer-cum-architect goes about his business, SuperYacht Times sits down with Bozzo to discover first-hand the benefits of bringing together these two disciplines.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/23639/image/large-d619df240718f36c5862d3fb3aeab32b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/23639">"Firstly, I should make clear the differences between a yacht designer and a naval architect or marine engineer," explains Bozzo. "This is fundamental to understanding why I chose to established two studios with different areas of expertise, which are nonetheless connected.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/110906/image/large-8250e615da300cb8854cf1de37f4047c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/110906">In terms of exterior design, yacht designers are basically responsible for the styling or look of the vessel, which may also extend to the general arrangement and interior design. We frequently work with naval architects and marine engineers, but as designers of luxury goods, we primarily use our creative and industrial design abilities to make products that are both attractive and desirable to clients. After all, no one wants an ugly yacht! In this sense, designers play an essential role in the conceptual process of creating sailing and motoryachts. <img src="https://sya.superyachttimes.com/uploads/store/photo/110899/image/large-bbfa2f6024b128e4fec322c29d3e4899.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/110899">Naval architects and marine engineers, on the other hand, are responsible for the functional design of yachts and the integration of their components. Using advanced engineering tools and a fine eye for detail, a naval architect determines the size and shape of these vessels, evaluates their stability and manoeuvring characteristics, the structures needed to support the forces they’ll experience at sea, and the power needed to propel them through the water.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/111104/image/large-2869f3598157d40ae2b91d139229874f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/111104">Marine engineers then design the systems that bring these vessels to life. This involves applying mechanical, electrical, electronic and digital engineering to the development, design, operation and maintenance of a vessel – from the largest engine to the smallest valve – and how best to integrate them within the space available. Every component must fit in the right place and nothing can be left out.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/70357/image/large-b519b52a9b130947a22dc71605e3f0b3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/70357">Together, naval architects and marine engineers work as a team to design the complete vessel. A superyacht is a bit like a floating city, completely self-sufficient and providing the services to support its passengers as it crosses the ocean under its own power. Naval architects and marine engineers are the designers and system integrators that make this possible.Steve Jobs once said that “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works."With this in mind, I believe a team with experience of both the aesthetic and technical aspects of yacht design can offer clients concrete advantages.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/110904/image/large-516198c9f3580ae6e9c6202b3f5cc230.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/110904">Emotional&nbsp; A designer who is also a naval architect will always propose a project that is unique and feasible no matter how challenging the client’s request. This is not strictly true of a yacht designer with no technical training. In other words, a naval architect-designer is able to satisfy the desires and expectations of a client, with the assurance of buildability without having to rely on existing platforms.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/64221/image/large-4abe9c6452b4f3eb470e19cb64748b5d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/64221">Technical A naval architect-designer has intimate knowledge of the entire build process and can provide clients with answers to all their questions. During construction, there are many decisions that need to be taken by the owner‘s team and our mission is to help them fully understand all the available options and choose the most efficient or appropriate solution. In a win-win situation, our technical knowledge and experience mean we can propose design features that satisfy the client and, at the same time, are based on proven or cost-effective solutions for the shipyard. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/57826/image/large-bc4f487868528c4461b609473aa7c16b.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/57826">Rational A naval architect is acutely aware that design must follow function. The aesthetics of a yacht are not an end in itself, but have to be combined with practical considerations of buildability and operation. The challenge is to create a full custom design while respecting the many rules and regulations required by the classification societies, as well as fulfilling operational, performance and comfort criteria. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/110903/image/large-4645660d76149dc6bb02cb790b1d4362.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/110903">Economic A naval architect-designer has the skillsets to help the owner get the most out of his investment. At the most basic level, our analytical approach to the constructional aspects means we can optimise layouts to maximise the volumes available to the owner. There are many other examples of where making the right decisions at the right time – at no extra cost to the owner – can ensure that a project progresses on time and on budget, as well as increasing the resale value of the yacht.<img src="https://sya.superyachttimes.com/uploads/store/photo/60461/image/large-5138b56c516e290af9247072325041b9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/60461">Reassurance A naval architect-designer has the competence to ensure a yacht is designed to the strictest safety standards, from stability and fire prevention to operational safety. In the course of our professional activities, naval architects are obliged to ensure that human life, the environment and property are properly safeguarded."

5 reasons why your superyacht designer should also be a naval architect

Horacio Bozzo fills SYT in on the five key benefits of your superyacht designer also being a naval architect. 

A superyacht is complete when design, naval architecture and engineering work together in harmony. Making this happen is what occupies Horacio Bozzo, one of the most up and coming yacht designers in the business. SuperYacht Times meets with the man himself and gets a chance to learn about the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Horacio Bozzo Design (Company)">Horacio Bozzo Design</a> studio and how design and engineering go hand in hand.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/84617/image/large-b8b8b53a808398db76cca76f69053d49.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/84617">You have Italian parents but you grew up in Argentina, can you tell us more about your background?I always wanted to return to my Italian roots ever since I was a kid. I first lived in Rome, then I moved to Miami where I lived for six years to finally came back to Italy - and that is already 20 years ago! My wife is from Venice and my son is from Tuscany where we live now, so most of my adult life has been in Italy.How did you discover the industry? What was your first working experience in yachting?For many of us, there is always that special moment that brought us into this industry. When I was around eight years old, I remember going out on a speedboat with some family friends, and I can still feel the wind on my face when we were out on a river through the north Argentinian jungle and thinking ‘oh my god this is incredible’. That was my moment!&nbsp;I began my career in Rome before going to the USA where I worked for six years in a high-profile Fort Lauderdale studio. It was in that hub of American yachting where I set up the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1403" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Axis Group Yacht Design (Company)">Axis Group Yacht Design</a> studio in 1996. After a few years, in 2001, I made the decision to return to Tuscany, Italy, where I also founded my design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Horacio Bozzo Design (Company)">Horacio Bozzo Design</a>. At first, I concentrated on both naval architecture and marine engineering as I always thought that a yacht designer needs to have a full understanding and knowledge of all aspects of a yacht. How can you design something that you do not understand?<img src="/uploads/store/photo/103657/image/large-cdb1fb2c2ac4d6eebedc04981cb49d4a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/103657">You worked very closely with shipyards. Did any of them ever ask you to design one of their production or custom boats?Yes, it did happen recently. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> commissioned us to create the design for one of their clients, and we created <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6005" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Elaldrea+48.77m (160'0&quot;)Benetti SpA2018">Elaldrea+</a>. She is the fully custom 48.77-metre vessel that we launched last summer. This was totally different as in most circumstances, we first design a project from scratch for our clients, and then we look for a shipyard that can build it.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/84588/image/large-3fd63097b995d614fab8eda7196f481a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/84588">Now you operate two brands: Your own&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4364" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Horacio Bozzo Design (Company)">Horacio Bozzo Design</a>&nbsp;Studio&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1403" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Axis Group Yacht Design (Company)">Axis Group Yacht Design</a>&nbsp;for architecture and engineering. Do you plan to keep the companies and services separate?Yes, because one is an excellent complement for the other. Our design work is powered by our knowledge of engineering and our engineering has the special eye for detail a designer has. In terms of skill sets, it is definitely a plus to be able to merge these skills together and we use them both. If I am in discussions with shipyards, our design proposals are always supported by technical solutions and they appreciate the value of it. It works very well with clients as well, especially if they are new to custom-builds. For them, it is moving from a boat to a ship, and so they have a wide range of technical questions and we have all the answers which gives them confidence. This creates trust and this is very important for a successful project.What kinds of trends do you see in yacht design at the moment?I feel that yachts are being used in a much more informal, practical and relaxed way. There is an increasing demand for large exterior spaces which blend in with the interior to create a unique informal area. That is the reason why beach clubs and lounge areas are becoming much more popular. Also, big windows that bring in plenty of light remain the favourite feature.What would be your money-no-object dream design project?The 123-metre Private Bay! The concept we designed for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/295" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fincantieri Yachts (Company)">Fincantieri Yachts</a>. It is a range of 90 to 140-metre sleek superyachts with a pool and lounge area in the stern very close to the water. Private Bay is a different vision of a mega yacht conceived as a space for living in the open air in harmony with the sea, the real protagonist while still offering an authentic experience. The open beach club concept is a unique feature that includes a 160-square-metre lounge area with openable side windows, al-fresco cinema, a sea-level pool with bar, submergible stairs and platform for gentle access to the ocean and a generous swim-platform for easy boarding of jet skis and tenders. It's a place where all your senses are in connection with the sea!<img src="/uploads/store/photo/103576/image/large-2383576a81dae9974b78737d18cb43ce.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/103576">How would you describe the process of superyacht design?Designing a yacht is being able to understand our client’s dream and then translating it onto paper. It’s like designing a tailor-made suit that must perfectly fit their style.&nbsp;Where do you see yourself in 10 years time? In the future, would you like to focus more on the design side?I see myself with the same passion as I have now for yachting and still working hard, this work is really addictive! I cannot see myself doing something different from this. I could not just concentrate on design, instead, the goal is to do both.The&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/375" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baglietto S.p.A. (Company)">Baglietto</a>&nbsp;40-metre is now in build and due to be delivered next year, can you tell us more about this project?I met the owner during a boat show in Miami and we started discussing his and his family’s needs until we produced the first layout for his yacht. He is very involved in every aspect of the design and we enjoyed a few months working together to get exactly what he wanted. She is now well under construction and will be delivered next summer. She is a raised pilothouse yacht with a vertical bow and sporty exterior lines. We have studied the exteriors spaces to have different areas and moods throughout the day. The interiors are by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/563" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Salvagni Architetti (Company)">Achille Salvagni</a> who is designing a fantastic contemporary interior. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/60461/image/large-5138b56c516e290af9247072325041b9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/60461">The hull and superstructure are in aluminium in order to create the minimum draft, allowing the yacht to reach the shallow waters of the Bahamas. This project is being built upon a new full aluminium fast-displacement hull which has been specially designed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/375" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baglietto S.p.A. (Company)">Baglietto</a> for this build.So what else do we have to look forward to?We have currently four full-custom yachts under construction.

Spectacular drone video of the launch of the 54m Forever One

The 28th June saw Italian shipyard ISA Yachts launch the 54 metre motoryacht, Forever One, from their facilities in Ancona.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/149390/image/large-dcde4084d2d0c747216292c3a434812c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/149311">The exterior design and the general layout were designed by Horacio Bozzo, while the naval architecture and the engineering were developed by Axis Group Yacht Design in collaboration with ISA.Horacio Bozzo describes several of the features of the superyacht, saying the opulent private owner’s deck is, “one of the yacht’s peculiarities with a private balcony - accessible from his stateroom - and a large aft deck terrace.” He goes on to describe the rest of vessel, stating “foldable bulwarks on the main deck grant a spectacular view to the exterior, and a noteworthy feature is the glass elevator that connects all decks, from the lower deck to the flybridge.”Forever One also boasts a spacious beach club with large foldable stern and side platforms ideal for water toys and tenders docking, which also give facilitated access to the water by automatic and gentle-angled submerged stairs. The main garage is located forward on main deck and will carry a 9 metre Riva Iseo tender and a 5.5 metre crew tender.Her building was supervised by Fernando Nicholson, from Camper &amp; Nicholson, with Captain Colin Skinner acting as the build surveyor.By Gemma Fottles

The revolutionary design concept combines luxurious comfort and environmental responsibility using specially designed equipment to ensure the most energy efficient and low emission yacht.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148848/image/large-fb4ddf24d96fe46bb01ce59ce7e3fddd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148848">Kingship is constructing this yacht for an Owner who seeks a high quality, low cost and low-impact motor yacht to cruise the world. One of her many fuel efficiency methods is an innovative power management system, with the requirement for her generators being only 2x 65kW, versus the standard 100kW used on a yacht of her size.Inside, Green Voyager features a five stateroom layout which extends living spaces to the exterior with full height windows and folding platforms which create lateral sea terraces. The ocean is further enjoyed with large open deck spaces on the sun deck, bridge and main decks forward and aft.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148849/image/large-8916f5a9cbfbc24675d4d948b64608f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148849">Kingship intends to achieve the highest Platinum level of Green Star Plus and hopes, in some areas, to exceed it. This means Kingships’ engineers and designer Axis Designs of Viareggio are concentrating on increasing efficiency in every area. Solutions will include heat reflecting glass, high efficiency insulation, heat recovery, heat pump calorifiers, gas treatment, ultra efficient props, and bio lubes, to name but a few.Green Voyager’s hull and superstructure are now complete, but with no seller on the horizon, Kingship have shifted their attention to their second project, the refit of Star.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148850/image/large-8c432172fc309a48db72747d98e787d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148850">Star was conceived as an adventurous luxury superyacht, aimed at sailing across the world's oceans. Designed by Vripack and built by Kingship in 2012, she was actually the first vessel to be launched by Kingship, and worked to confirm a solid reputation in the superyacht industry whilst proving the shipyard’s capacity to deliver top quality vessels at this level. The inaugural project boasts a traditional exterior look with lines showing a clean but interesting style. With a navy blue hull and crisp white superstructure, her smart and classic silhouette has connotations of a 60s style superyacht, built for both adventure and comfort. Star has a confident look that houses modern and refined interiors, with a laid-back and relaxing style. She easily accommodates up to twelve guests over five luxurious cabins, consisting of two doubles and two twins in addition to an impressive master suite.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148851/image/large-32e1b8f7f5ec81b0728971781b202ae1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148851">In regards to the current refit, Kingship are making small changes to the interior, as well as changing the new hull colour. The reason for such a recent refit is to make the yacht more appealing to a US market, as well as to ensure the boat is presented in its best possible light at the upcoming yacht shows around the world. Kingship founder Roger Liang comments, “We are planning to bring the boat to the Monaco Show. It’s our first boat to be presented to the market so we want it to look brand new. It’s actually a new boat but we want to present it in such a way that it’s really impressive, so we’re doing some interior work.”<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148852/image/large-8bead73e9298d25fd60ec90a99d5ea0d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148852">The third and final project being undertaken at the Kingship shipyard is the new catamaran series. The Kingship 55 Catamaran Motoryacht has been designed to offer more space and luxury than conventional yachts of the same size. With naval architecture and engineering by Bill Prince Yacht Design, Inc. The Kingship 55 Catamaran benefits not only from Kingship's excellent yacht building experience but also pedigreed engineering with an eye towards modern luxury.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148853/image/large-a78e3db0f8234bcf7e2e0a305b162da9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148853">The Catamaran can be custom-tailored to each owner’s performance preferences, be they for brisk, efficient cruising or just occasional outings at a hull speed of more than ten knots. With a beam spanning 7 metres, the Kingship 55 Catamaran feels like a much larger yacht inside and out. Four luxurious staterooms are available below decks. Discussing the project and it’s target market with SuperYacht Times, Roger Liang stated, “the Catamaran is conceived for the Chinese market. It’s a new market and it’s a market for people that are not familiar with yachts. So this catamaran has a lot of space. The Chinese always come with a lot of people, they want to use the boat for meetings, for entertaining, for family. One of the versions of this catamaran will be able to use an upward engine. It would be so simple that it will work very well in a market that is just beginning. It is conceived for China, but it will also work very well worldwide.”Photo by Maarten Janssen / <a href="https://www.superyachtphoto.com/media/" target="_blank">SuperYachtPhoto.com</a>

Visiting superyacht builder Kingship in China

After the international success of the 70 metre superyacht Numptia, Rossinavi has teamed up with naval architect Axis Group Yacht Design once more, aiming to develop a new yacht concept for the US market. I was invited at the yard last week, and received a sneak preview of the project, designed by Horacio Bozzo Design. The concept will be developed with the specific need of a shallow draft to sail in the Caribbean islands.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148706/image/large-c2115b125811052500435ea0b87642e9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148706">The new 48 metre project has been conceived as a flexible platform with three different interior styles in order to offer an efficient turnkey solution for the owners. "Having predetermined engineering packages and streamlined production due to repetitive builds, the lead-time for new builds can be reduced to approximately 24 months", Rossi Navi's Filippo Ceragioli commented.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148707/image/large-f876f0e9ed497561a02914d89d179413.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148707">The Bahamas will be available in tri-deck version. The upper deck will host a private jacuzzi on the fore side of the bridge, and be dedicated to the Owner. The main deck will comprise of the main saloon and galley plus a large outside space, complete with the most extravagant jacuzzi of the yacht. The lower deck will host up to 10 guests across 2 VIP cabins and 2 Guest cabins, as well as 9 crew plus the captain.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/148708/image/large-2c871675f4f6f355e21839111d0d60c7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/148708">The chosen engines are two Cat C32 Acer C with emission spec in accord with EPA Tier 3 – IMO Tier II. She will be designed to produce a top speed of 15.5 knots at max power and half load.By Maarten Janssen
