In contrast to her aggressive forward profile, her design softens into fluid slopes framed by sharply defined edges.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393703/image/large-89a8d58e8f27e71075895d8b8f9a8551.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393703">The owner commented on this design: “My wife and I love elegant and essential style, nothing unnecessarily flashy and disconnected from practicality, this is the initial input we gave the architects,” explained the owner.What began as a single regatta experience in the Mediterranean during the 1990s gradually evolved into a lifelong passion for exploring the sea. Together with his wife, the owner moved from summer cruising in Liguria to increasingly ambitious voyages aboard larger yachts, eventually realising they needed a true explorer yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/373962/image/large-f76faa94ca66a6cac29b462b7f6fade6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/373962">Their search led them to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantiere delle Marche (CdM) (Company)">CdM</a>, whose craftsmanship and shared vision immediately resonated with them.

In May 2021, the boat was launched and I remember how great the emotion we felt when we boarded the first time, we organized our maiden voyage in Greece and we fell in love with her.”The RJ 155 project came to life in collaboration with the shipyard over the course of roughly a year, just a few months after the RJ 130’s maiden voyage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393706/image/large-4d2a214398c0c926b38522f232a642a6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393706" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Designed for an active, adventurous lifestyle, Francesco emphasises that the exterior has been conceived to create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. To enhance this relationship, the gunwales along the main deck have been lowered towards the stern, opening up uninterrupted views to the sea. Generous storage has also been integrated for toys and equipment, ensuring practical functionality and supporting longer-range voyages and remote exploration.“It invites adventure without sacrificing elegance, showing how thoughtful design can redefine what a superyacht is and what it can be,” said the designer.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393708/image/large-365eb9380cc3bacf1497cf22aac0a499.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393708" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Set against her exterior, the interior is conceived to evoke a sense of calm and clarity, shaped for Northern European owners who are passionate collectors of contemporary art. The owner’s brief called for a design that would reflect their cultural heritage: minimalist, but not ‘cold’.Salvagni explains: “From this brief, I developed what I call a ‘soft minimalism’: a language of natural gestures, curved lines, and gentle transitions, where every surface feels both essential and emotionally resonant.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390456/image/large-3b5403dd1c6854004f41c33c53b57025.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390456" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">He incorporates Japanese wood essence ‘light koto’, which brings a warm, near-butter tonality to the material palette. Throughout the yacht, softness is carried through curved panels, while the visual flow is occasionally interrupted by organically inspired forms. These elements emerge like coral branches from the ceiling, with handles evoking octopus tentacles and cabinetry where lighting appears to grow naturally from its base.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390457/image/large-b46d7d207157d94dc8b966e29c3bdab2.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390457">This design language continues into the main saloon, which serves as the heart of social connection onboard. The saloon flows directly aft into the cockpit, which transforms into an expansive swim platform sheltered by protective side wings. Moving forward from amidships, there is a spacious galley to port with an adjoining pantry, followed by a foyer leading to the dayhead and onward to the owners’ suite, which also incorporates a generous gym.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/390455/image/large-081b9c57b781a77aac4ec848f75f983b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/390455" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Parati46.71m (153'3&quot;)Cantiere delle Marche (CdM)2025">Parati</a> can accommodate up to 10 guests across five well-appointed staterooms, with four guest suites located on the lower deck. The layout comprises three double suites and one twin suite, while crew accommodation is provided in four dedicated cabins.The upper deck also provides generous spaces for guests to lounge and dine, with a spacious aft terrace designed for open-air dining. Forward, the wheelhouse serves as the yacht’s fully equipped command centre. Above, the sundeck is dedicated to social gatherings, featuring a modern bar that serves as the central hub of the deck.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/393707/image/large-e2930bf01957499d8b3253a10d2ac23b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/393707" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">According to the captain, although the owners were very satisfied with their first RJ yacht, they requested a fully bespoke approach for the new build. They prioritised extensive storage, including large refrigeration and freezing capacity, a water purification system to minimise reliance on plastic bottles, and advanced waste management solutions such as a vacuum system and refrigerated garbage room to ensure high standards of hygiene during extended voyages.In terms of propulsion, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Parati46.71m (153'3&quot;)Cantiere delle Marche (CdM)2025">Parati</a> is powered by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1408" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Caterpillar Inc (Company)">Caterpillar</a> C32 engines, each delivering 895 kilowatts, enabling a top speed of around 15 knots.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/373946/image/large-edf85a89da2f99cf648cb7709d2bc9e3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/373946">“Being entrusted for the second time by such an experienced yachtsman is a source of great pride for our shipyard and everyone has worked tirelessly to ensure the owners enjoyed their new yacht as scheduled in summer 2025,” Vasco concluded.

(Company)">Nauta’s</a> design DNA. Pedol’s grandfather was chief engineer aboard ocean liners, and his own formative years spent racing and cruising translated into a deep understanding of life at sea. His first steps in yachting came while still at university through the Avventura 703, a Mini Tonner designed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/289" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Vallicelli Design (Company)">Andrea Vallicelli</a>, with 40 units produced in 2 years.Originally a builder and designer, the company’s early milestone was the Nauta 54, co-designed with Scott Kaufman in 1986, which introduced <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta’s</a> enduring commitment to creating spaces that are both functional and elegant. Over the following decades, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta</a> grew from its shipyard origins into a pure design house, with its methodical and technically driven approach to detailing, from cabinetry and joinery to naval architecture, forming the backbone of its style.For co-founder Massimo Gino, the longevity of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta’s</a> style lies in its restraint. “The key is to stay true to your vision, and the market recognises and rewards your style,” he explains. Its designs are characterised by clean, timeless lines that remain relevant over time – an identity that has become the studio’s hallmark.Today, under the continued leadership of Pedol and Gino, the studio is in a phase of transition. Senior designers Martino Majno and Guido Valtorta have taken on greater responsibility, steering day-to-day management as Directors. With a team of 25, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l.

(Company)">Nauta Yachts</a> has built its reputation on the rare ability to balance bespoke superyacht projects with large-scale series production, applying the same ethos across both. As Guido Valtorta explains, the process is not about switching mindsets but refining solutions: “We don’t swap the approach, we adjust solutions.” Whether developing a 140-metre custom yacht or a 40-foot production model, the guiding principles remain the same; functionality, elegance and clean lines, with the design tuned to the parameters of scale, cost and build method.This cross-pollination between segments has become a defining strength of the studio. Insights from production projects sharpen an awareness of efficiency and usability that benefits custom yachts, and vice versa.. As Valtorta notes, the detailing and refinement expected on large superyachts find their way into production models, raising standards across the board.For Martino Majno, the diversity of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta’s</a> portfolio ensures both creative stimulation and business resilience. “We are busy in several fields, bespoke custom design, semi-production and series production; we find this part very stimulating because the parameters are different and it ensures continuity of boats being built.”Series production remains an important pillar of the business. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta’s</a> long-standing partnership with Beneteau has produced some of the most successful cruising sailing yachts in recent decades, with over 400 units of the Oceanis 51.1 sold since its launch (and more than 10,000 yachts sold over the Oceanis range in the last decade).<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/374552/image/large-37b2b71f4fc98d9fc3cf5c99c8a6d815.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/374552">A philosophy of silent luxuryIf <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta’s</a> versatility defines its scope, its design language defines its identity. “We believe in silent luxury,” says Valtorta. “We don’t shout with design. Instead, we create spaces where elegance comes through proportions, lights, materials and colors.” This philosophy favours architectural coherence over ostentation, with interiors that remain timeless and adaptable to different owners.For Gino, this philosophy is deeply human-centred. “Luxury in yachting is about more than styling. It’s about creating a functional, well-organised space that allows owners to fully immerse themselves in the natural environment.” Pedol echoes this sentiment, underlining the importance of a connection to the sea: “Outdoor living is an essential aspect of our design.”This ethos has been central to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta’s</a> superyacht work since Project Light, an 80-metre designed in 2006. “Starting with Project Light 80m in 2006, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta</a> has been a forerunner of a new generation of superyachts, with elegant, soberly centre-positioned glass-wrapped superstructures, so that much more importance is devoted to the exterior spaces,” explains Pedol. “This design vision enhances a higher quality of life on board, achieved through blending with the surrounding environment.”The principle has continued to evolve. “We’ve been working on this for some time, evolving the design to make our yachts more autonomous, efficient and functional, without compromising on the quality of spaces, materials and finishes,” adds Gino.This approach is visible in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9442" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dragonfly142.0m (465'11&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2024">Dragonfly</a>, where a reimagined interior layout introduced a flowing, circulation through the decks, creating a new way of experiencing space at sea.
