Innomare

One of the latest launches on display at this year’s MYBA Charter show in Genoa this month, was the 43.50 metre superyacht Latitude. Latitude was built at Acico Yachts (formerly Dutch Yacht Builders, recently taken over by one of their clients) in The Netherlands to a design of Cor D Rover, and is available for charter through Camberley International Inc. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135105/image/large-b62615e99d43e000264fe1904231d427.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/135105">Latitude sports a round-bilge semi-displacement hull designed by Van Oossanen &amp; Associates. This allows for the combination of very economic sailing at displacement speeds between 10 and 15 knots, while her twin MTU 16V2000 M93 engines still have the juice (1790 kW each) to push the boat to 20.7 knots. There is no hump speed - the luxury yacht is equally at ease at all speeds in the range. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135106/image/large-de9beb97e08c0c50d958809940f000c0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/135106">A lot of attention has been paid to guest comfort. The noise level recorded in the master cabin at 18 knots is only 55 dB(A). Her Naiad fin stabilizers do an excellent job reducing the roll, both underway and at anchor. The concept design, general arrangement and exterior styling were developed by Cor de Rover in close consultation with the owners. The white hull and superstructure are marked by an exciting play of shadow lines and both convex and concave surfaces. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135107/image/large-43a0c8a5c7cd8afdf79120641409ad9a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/135107">Latitude’s elegant and inviting interior designed with the input of the well known Dutch interior designer Piet Boon of Piet Boon Design, features tainted oak floors and white leather and stingray leather in the public spaces. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135108/image/large-3ac14980455f1e72035efdede8389f8c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/135108">The main deck salon features an unconventional arrangement, with the dining area is located aft, creating a lovely indoor-outdoor dining experience for guests.

Superyacht of the Week: The 43.3 metre Latitude

Owner’s representative Bruno Bouckaert of Innomare, located in The Hague (Holland), reports the completion of superyacht Latitude. The 43.50 metre yacht was built at Acico Yachts (formerly Dutch Yacht Builders) in The Netherlands to a design of Cor D Rover. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/133097/image/large-d61b8756a916963bdcfa1d02f46897ce.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/133097">The superyacht sports a round-bilge semi-displacement hull designed by Van Oossanen &amp; Associates. This allows for the combination of very economic sailing at displacement speeds between 10 and 15 knots, while her twin MTU 16V2000 M93 engines still have the juice (1790 kW each) to push the boat to 20.7 knots. There is no hump speed - the luxury yacht is equally at ease at all speeds in the range. A lot of attention has been paid to guest comfort. The noise level recorded in the master cabin at 18 knots is only 55 dB(A). Her Naiad fin stabilizers do an excellent job reducing the roll, both underway and at anchor. Bruno Bouckaert says, "Although they have been flying under the radar in the yachting media, Dutch Yacht Builders has produced excellent quality for a reasonable price. The yard was recently taken over by one of their clients and is now called Acico Yachts. As M/Y <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1660">Latitude</a> was their first superyacht built under class and MCA, considerable involvement from our side was needed, but the cooperation went very well, and the yard is rightfully proud of the end result." After three years of project management covering the entire build period, Innomare was also contracted as technical superintendent by the yacht’s managers. Bruno Bouckaert of Innomare will be at the METS and is available for meetings to discuss M/Y <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1660">Latitude</a> in more detail.
