The young studio has worked on only a handful of yacht projects, but their background in industrial and residential design has given them an eye for detail and the renders of the Logica 183 reveal clean, balanced lines and some innovative design solutions. &nbsp; “Perhaps the standout feature of the Logica 183 is the private foredeck area,”&nbsp;says Alessio Benassini, one of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Acube Design (Company)">Acube’</a>s trio of partners. “It’s basically a continuation of the owner’s suite on the forward main deck with a private hot tub and chill-out zone protected by the high bulwarks.” &nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/60005/image/large-a808e4d04b6c221f3c3106cb89253474.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/60005">There is a second much larger pool on the forward upper deck, and the sundeck can be completely enclosed by wrap-round glazing as the owner wishes to use the yacht during the off-season. The interior style and choice of materials have yet be finalised and the interior renders published here are conceptual.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/59998/image/large-81dd973facad6ddb67bcee4b71abdeac.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/59998">“Rather than take an empty space and fill it with off-the-shelf designer labels like some other Italian yards do, we want all the loose furniture and fittings to be custom designed,”&nbsp;says Bennewitz. &nbsp;The guest tender in stowed in a side-loading garage between the beach club and engine room.

But running at an economical 10 knots on just the central engine her range increases to 6,000nm.” &nbsp;With the steel hull blocks almost complete and construction of the aluminium superstructure due to start in February, the Logica 183 is expected to be launched in June 2020. The intention is that she will be the first in a mini-series. &nbsp;

When we were in Monaco last week, we spotted the brand new Benetti Sail Division BSD98 Logica <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5866" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Aleica30.2m (99'1&quot;)">Aleica</a> out at sea. The exterior lines of the BSD 98 Logica, and the other models in the Logica range, have been designed by Luca Brenta Yacht Design.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/145949/image/large-470f635c95a1875f2a1f7af129dc7c84.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/145949">Unusual for a yacht of this size, the owner opted to have the master suite forward on the lower deck instead of forward on the main deck. With all guest accommodation, 4 cabins in total, on the lower deck, the crew accommodation has been moved to the forward section of the main deck.

Crew Yacht Management has taken over the management of the Serena, a 27 metre Motor Sailer, built in 1983 by Benetti Sail Division, to a design by Lauren Giles. Since it was first launched, the yacht has always been privately used by her original owner. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/142752/image/large-a40c4e05f0ebcf321a918dce946c1876.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/142752">The yacht has now been purchased by a new owner, and will finally be available for charter after a major refit by Yacht Crew Management, who appointed Giovanna Locatelli for the new interior design. The sails will be completely redone by Doyle Sailmakers Italia, and they will also update all the rigging of the boat. The refit is due to be completed in March 2013. After the refit, she will charter in Sicily, the Neapolitan Archipelago, the Pontine islands, Sardinia, and Ionian Greece.

Motor yacht Amanzi, originally named Sarina, is a 2004 built, 26 metre Benetti Sail Division, which is currently for sale with SuperYachtsMonaco. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/138711/image/large-4a3c8b3f425b4798202adc0e61661f8a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/138711">We asked Jim Evans of SuperYachtsMonaco, about the yacht's history. "I sold this boat to the current owner approximately 5 years ago. The current owner is relatively young and his requirement for himself and his young family was for a steel hull for reasons of safety, larger internal volume and for the ‘gentleman’s yacht’ look. After he bought the yacht he spent significant time and money to improve her in various ways not only mechanically but also on the interior which he has made more modern and accessible to most tastes". <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/138712/image/large-76d29a468d3045544865f073d088471e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/138712">Jim continues: "There is a very good full time captain on board who keeps the boat in excellent condition and has a thorough planned maintenance system in place". The yacht is currently for sale, as the owner is looking to move to a slightly larger boat. The asking price is € 2,650,000 ex tax.SuperYachtsMonaco Jim Evans +377 9325 0348 <a href="mailto:jimevans@superyachtsmonaco.com?subject=Amanzi%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">jimevans@superyachtsmonaco.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.superyachtsmonaco.com/">www.superyachtsmonaco.com</a> By Maarten Janssen
