Fittipaldi Yachts

Setzer Design Group has teamed up with Fittipaldi Yachts of Brazil to design and promote a series of stylish and robust superyachts. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124779/image/large-817c8c38cf01c8b3a3c1662e6a751051.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124779">According to yacht designer Ward Setzer, "the series contains four principal designs from 40 to 60 meters, that combine the refined and innovative looks of today’s most modern yachts with my sensibilities about the future of yachting -- in remote locations or world-class resorts -- all on a grand scale.” The Fittipaldi yard, owned by legendary Formula One racing personality Wilson Fittipaldi, is well placed to commence a new build immediately with the recent addition of a new facilty. Setzer Design Group and Fittipaldi Yachts decided to combine their efforts after the yard recently bid one of Setzer’s projects. A relationship of mutual respect for each company’s pedigree developed quickly. Setzer and Fittipaldi are both actively promoting the aptly named Fittipaldi “S” Series of vessels to potential clients and brokers. Bids have been presented to interested parties and custom adaptations are being addressed by the Setzer studio. Amenities in the “S Series” (S 40, S 46, S 50, and S 60) will include generous owner’s suites, panoramic windows, al fresco bars, theaters, gyms, cabana boat garages, infinity pools, helicopter pads and crows nests. All areas will be outfitted with luxurious finishes and amenities. All vessels will be built to class rules and all systems will be composed of professional-grade equipment most typical for superyachts of today. According to Setzer, the series has already gained considerable interest from both owners and brokers (in both the US and Europe) who recognize the utility as well as marketability and overall progressive appeal of the vessels.

Setzer Design Group & Fittipaldi Yachts join forces

The ‘new’ Burgess team is racing ahead, having added another successful new build commission to their credit with the sale of one of Wilson Fittipaldi’s new ‘’F110’’ motor yachts. With two F110’s now under construction and plans for two spectacular new designs of both 125ft (F125) and 150ft (F150) recently added to their range, the future certainly looks bright for the dynamic Fittipaldi yard in Brazil.Designed by Luiz De Basto, the Fittipaldi range will appeal to the global yachting market. Long range, great stability, a flexible layout and sound engineering all combine to make the new F110 one of the most exciting yachts to hit the market in many years.Whilst the new owners of the Burgess F110 build intend their yacht to truly be a ‘world cruising’ platform, they first plan to take advantage of the beautiful cruising grounds close to the shipyard in Brazil’s Angra dos Reis, which offers a stunning coastline and some 350 tropical islands.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/123544/image/large-7292c551d316503f112466a40095b1a9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/123544">Steve Gow of Fittipaldi Yachts and Keith Maling of OceanStyle (Burgess company) at the Burgess stand in front of the new Fittipaldi F125 modelThe Monaco Yacht Show 2007 saw the first public presentation of the Fittipaldi F125 and the model was showcased on the spectacular Burgess stand.
