Highly anticipated Logica 59 superyacht launched 

Starting up a new shipyard in a busy market requires expertise, experience and, above all, a competitive product. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5377" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Reale Yachts (Company)">Reale Yachts</a> in Pisa has all three.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/180148/image/large-7d04b5a8c656bebe10d675452d2ad5e3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/180148">Nico Laude, the charismatic yachting consultant behind<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5377" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Reale Yachts (Company)">&nbsp;Reale Yachts</a>, has lived and breathed boats for the last 30 years. Having worked on the sales teams of some of Italy’s leading yacht brands, he co-founded the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3046" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Whyko S.R.L. (Company)">WHYKO</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5378" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phi Yachts (Company)">Phi Yachts&nbsp;</a>brokerage firms. But it was only after he set up Phi Lab, a refit and storage facility in Pisa, that the idea of building new began to take hold.&nbsp;“The whole idea of opening a new-build shipyard started by accident,” says the CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5377" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Reale Yachts (Company)">Reale Yachts.&nbsp;</a>“Tommaso Bini, the son of Guido Bini whose family owned Cantieri di Pisa, was working with me at the refit yard and we had long discussions about the market and the boats we’d like to build. These chats led to an idea and a long process that took nearly three years before it was put into practice.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/106622/image/large-542be695add64d2c7f81fd6743635457.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/106622">One of the first steps was to engage the designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Marco Casali&nbsp;</a>to flesh out concepts for a series of compact yet rugged explorer yachts and supply vessels. Hydrodynamics specialist Francesco Rogantin was taken on to optimise the naval architecture and engineering. Veteran boatbuilder Guido Bini came out of retirement to join the nascent team and he was joined by Simone Marconcini, formerly with Nautor and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4329" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Logica Yachts (Company)">Logica Yachts</a>.&nbsp;Backed by these experienced and expert managers, Laude signed up a knowledgeable owner in the market for an expedition yacht “without borders” for the first 32-metre Pacifico explorer before the brand had even been formally established. The keel was laid in July last year with delivery scheduled for spring 2021. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108293/image/large-cdfac2f4489996694908cb551bfc1f4b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108293">“Nico was very clear from the start what he wanted to create: a long-range, seaworthy vessel with purposeful lines based on solid construction and engineering,” says Casali. It is no coincidence that in Italian reale has two meanings: ‘royal’ and ‘real’, and the shipyard’s name reflects its mission to build yachts “the old-fashioned way” with quality as the starting point.“The important thing is not to cut corners to save money but to build the best product we can,” says veteran boatbuilder Guido Bini who grew up at his family’s famous shipyard. “I remember my father always said that all boats look beautiful when they’re finished, but you have to look behind the scenes and understand how they’ve been built to understand whether there the quality is there or not.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/180149/image/large-344c8104754d3fcaaf1bc4c4ae5fbd9a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/180149">To prove the point, Laude reels off the specifications of the steel and aluminium Pacifico 32 in build: the twin MAN medium-duty 880-hp engines and two generators of 80kW each; the cruising range of 5,000 nautical miles at nine knots; the oversized 220kg anchors; the refrigerated garbage store under the foredeck seating; the deck room for a 6.20-metre tender, jet skis or even a mini sub.And the list goes on: “How many 32-metre yachts of just over 300GT have an air-conditioned control room in the engine room and interior ceiling heights of up to 2.17 metres?” asks Laude. “Just the other day we decided to build the frames for the hull portholes out of stainless steel and even the hard top on the sundeck is insulated against sound and vibration. While most shipyards are compressing their standard specifications, we’ve chosen to upgrade them.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/106619/image/large-c201af7adca2cf49d7b99965ee974d9e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/106619">The expert owner’s business background is in shipping and the technical design by Francesco Rogantin, from the rugged hull to the piping and cable routing, reflects his desire for an explorer yacht conceived and built along ship-like principles. “Using extensive CFD analysis we came up with a beamy hull shape that has low resistance and optimal stability,” says the naval architect. “The owner wanted an ice-reinforced hull built in high-tensile AH36 steel to strict Bureau Veritas rules for unrestricted navigation. This required adding weight to the structure, but we were able to meet all the stability criteria without having to add ballast tanks.” &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108008/image/large-87d143450fe598eba5e9cacd9cd0a5ec.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108008">At the time of my visit to the new shipyard in Pisa’s yacht-building district, the final transom block had yet to be welded into place, but even missing the last few metres the hull looked much more imposing than its overall length suggests. Standing atop the plumb bow two stories above the ground felt more like being on a 50-metre vessel. Climbing down into the forepeak locker revealed the web of stringers, beams and stiffeners that reinforce the thick steel plating designed to brush aside brash ice. Laude initially recommended a commercial paint finish, but the owner has opted for a fully-faired hull.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/106621/image/large-275c34f99d7a90779a9f6b2c72ef8fc1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/106621">The custom layout responds to the owner’s needs and provides for a master stateroom on the upper deck with its own private aft deck, a VIP suite with private office and two large guest cabins amidships on the lower deck. There is accommodation for six crew on the lower deck and – unusually for a yacht of this size – a captain’s cabin behind the wheelhouse. The interior design, also by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Marco Casali</a>, will be in a contemporary classic style requested by the owner. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/106620/image/large-f1748f8001fe7c8dbd91bbba8acd3bef.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/106620">The transom beach club is equipped with a lounging area, sauna, day head and dive room. As the tenders and toys are stowed on the open aft deck, the main salon and dining area have sliding glass doors that open along the sides instead of the standard aft doors. The high-spec galley on the main deck has a large adjoining pantry.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108004/image/large-d0e72735bb150b78558d4f258a85cdae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108004">A defining feature of the design not immediately apparent from the renders is the absence of exterior staircases. This was a conscious decision as the yacht may well be used in northern waters and colder climes. In fact, access to the sun deck is via an interior staircase inside the mast structure, which also houses a day head. &nbsp;Special attention has been paid to reducing noise and vibration to a minimum. This includes standard procedures such as elastic-mounted machinery and floating floors and partitions, but also care in routing toilet, shower and washbasin discharges. For reasons of noise attenuation at anchor as well as ease of maintenance, the compartments for the ABT electric stabilisers are in the engine room and not the lower deck guest cabins. In fact, contractual noise levels in the guest cabins are a hushed 47dB in harbour.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108005/image/large-6e21d9e2caa13bd0e521c22585b1306a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108005">With the first Pacifico 32 due to launch in spring 2021, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5377" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Reale Yachts (Company)">Reale Yachts&nbsp;</a>continues to develop its other models from 28 to 50 metres, which besides the Pacifico line includes the Panarea, Lanavetta and Ombra ranges. Based on fixed technical platforms, clients can choose between steel or aluminium construction, or even one-off designs by other designers.“There are owners out there who appreciate the faster build times of a series product, but they want more opportunity to customise their yachts,” says Laude. “The idea behind <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5377" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Reale Yachts (Company)">Reale Yachts</a> is to bring back more choice and custom quality to a segment of the market that is dominated by limited options and standard solutions.” &nbsp; <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108011/image/large-553c194d948a29d722f3dcb963bf0266.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108011">This article was first featured in The SuperYacht Times newspaper. <a href="http://www.superyachtcompany.com/newspaper/the-superyacht-times-subscription" target="_blank">Subscribe</a> now to receive your copy straight to your door and never miss another issue.&nbsp;

Reale Yachts: how the shipyard is pushing boundaries in Pisa

SYT's Justin Ratcliffe visited Pisa to find out if Reale Yachts really is the real deal. Clue: they sure are. 

Insight: How Reale Yachts is pushing boundaries in Pisa

We hear from one of the industry’s youngest (and coolest) owners about running a company from his yacht, the lessons our industry could learn from the real estate business and discover the story behind the seven-month transformation of his 44.8-metre 2014-built <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4329" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Logica Yachts (Company)">Logica</a> into the spectacular party-business crossover yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forever44.8m (146'12&quot;)Logica Yachts2014">Forever</a>. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/116356/image/large-5e444648aebb2cab9c0465c3376c6cad.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/116356">‘Work hard, play hard’ is one of those mottos that tends to not to be put into practice. With our everyday use of technology, social media and remote working opportunities, sometimes it seems there are no days off. For some, however, this is an ideal working scenario, especially when the office is a 150-square-metre sundeck in the Mediterranean.&nbsp;Meet Jakob Mähren, founder and CEO of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1707" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maren Ltd (Company)">Mähren Group</a> and having the accolade of being one of the top real estate entrepreneurs in Berlin, 37-year old Mähren has already progressed his way up the ranks of superyacht ownership from a modest 15-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/354" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sunseeker (Company)">Sunseeker</a> to a 32-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SanLorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> called Wanted and finally settling on his 44.8-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4329" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Logica Yachts (Company)">Logica</a> build known as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forever44.8m (146'12&quot;)Logica Yachts2014">Forever</a>. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/116354/image/large-09b32453e73369cf4ab6aa4acac2899a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/116354">While some see superyacht ownership as an opportunity to escape from the pressures of 21st-century business, for Mähren, everything about his boat is crafted with the purpose of helping him achieve the best he can in the commercial world. As he explains, this also enables him to be in the admirable position of being able to spend an entire season on board his floating office. “Summer is the off-season for real estate and lettings, so this works out extremely well for me. Everybody is on holiday in July and August so I can meet up with my business partners when I cruise around the South of France and Ibiza because they’re all there! You can combine having great leisure time with business meetings on board.”&nbsp;Naturally, for number-savvy Mähren, there is also the cost element of ownership to take into account. “I know how much my boat costs and I would be angry with myself if I’d gone to all of this effort and only spent 1-2 weeks on board a year when I could just charter a boat. In summer, it is my main home and I only go to Berlin when I am needed.”&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/116499/image/large-e655d3a213de618eda0ac428d2585dfb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/116499">The story behind Mähren’s purchase of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forever44.8m (146'12&quot;)Logica Yachts2014">Forever</a> has its foundations in a deep love for boats which began in childhood. “When I was a little kid, I dreamed of having a yacht. When we were painting pictures, other children would paint a forest, a moon or a sun, but I just painted yachts. Even my parents said I was a little psychopathic in how much I loved them.”&nbsp;But it is one thing to have a passion for boats and quite another to make the shift into actual superyacht ownership. When asked what it was, exactly, that enabled him to move from yachting enthusiast into the ranks of the owners’ club, Mähren offers me a suitably wry response: “Well, the money helped. Without money, yachting is the wrong hobby for you.”&nbsp; <img src="/uploads/store/photo/116489/image/large-fab9bbcaed6e7e00f6e2b8d6a8ed02b9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/116489">More specifically: “I had been in business for 15 years when I decided to buy my first boat, the 15-metre Sunseeker. I had a big exit and thought, ‘come on, now is the time.’” Bought with the intention of driving it himself (and one licence acquired for the purpose), Mähren cruised around Majorca for a season and soon began to think bigger, opting next for a 32-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SanLorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> which he called Wanted.&nbsp;“When I stepped on board, it was one of the coolest moments of my life. I used the boat right from the beginning to the end of the summer season, travelling around the whole Med.” But soon enough, Mähren’s ambitious side reared its head again. “After the second season, I thought to myself, if I can reach my goals in business and achieve that exit, I am going to sell my Sanlorenzo and buy myself a bigger boat.”<img src="/uploads/store/photo/116355/image/large-1596b40c0f24f840b35fbdcb4e0203a8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/116355">With this motivator bolstering him, Mähren soon managed to achieve his goal, falling in love with the 44.8-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forever44.8m (146'12&quot;)Logica Yachts2014">Forever</a> at the Cannes and Monaco boat shows in autumn 2017 and sealing the deal in record time. “I went on the boat, looked around, made an offer and signed the contract in a very short period. I am an individual that likes to decide pretty fast.” Superyacht purchased, there was no resting on his laurels for this young owner, who had a transformative vision for his vessel.&nbsp;“When I bought&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forever44.8m (146'12&quot;)Logica Yachts2014">Forever,</a>&nbsp;I was looking for a boat where I could do a refit inside and really put all of my style into it. I liked the hull and the outside as it was a little bit unique and I liked the structure and layout of the boat: the swimming pool at the front, the beach club and the really wide saloon. But when I stepped inside for the first time, I thought, ‘Oh God, it’s all wood, very dark.’ Her condition was pretty good but she was owned by a guy who was twice my age so it was absolutely not my style.”<img src="/uploads/store/photo/116337/image/large-189870211ca02b8f62eccb884971c16b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/116337"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/116331/image/large-a23f7056e53266f2ab6f41238c418097.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/116331">Motor yacht Logica before the refit&nbsp; Notably, with a whole industry of seasoned superyacht designers he could have opted for, Mähren made the unexpected decision to move outside of yachting and commission his friend Michael Niederer, head of design at the Vienna-based studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="St. Corona Interiors (Company)">St Corona Interiors&nbsp;</a>to tackle the project. Having previously worked for Mähren on the interiors of his chalet - located near Kitzbühel in the Austrian Alps - Niederer and Mähren flew to Viareggio and the transformation of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forever44.8m (146'12&quot;)Logica Yachts2014">Forever</a> began in earnest. Mähren and Niederer’s efforts on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forever44.8m (146'12&quot;)Logica Yachts2014">Forever</a> started in October 2017 and were fully completed by June 2018, ready for the German owner to enjoy his first summer on board his best purchase yet.Mähren’s vision for his boat was clear from the off and a million miles away from its existing dark and wood-heavy styling. “My dream was always to have a boat which combined bright colours with the mainly white, typical Miami look: cool and minimalistic and with a young and fresh design. Because of my knowledge of real estate development, it was not difficult for me to imagine how the boat could look after a refit.”&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/116340/image/large-9810b061ab2c6c0bbdb625612c5ba562.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/116340">Motor yacht Logica before the refit&nbsp;With this dream banked, the transfiguration of the interiors could begin. Contemporary concrete resin flooring and freestanding furniture were used to create a penthouse feel, replacing the existing heavy wooden decking and built-in furniture. The entire yacht was outfitted with white-grey broken natural stone, airy linen, thick wool silk rugs and large mirrored surfaces (a total of 300 metres of linen by Loro Piana were used to cover the walls). As a true showcase feature, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="St. Corona Interiors (Company)">Corona Interiors</a> team also incorporated a striking 12-metre high marble staircase into the existing structure.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/116358/image/large-d666feba0e0663d6d5de3abf764ec76a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/116358"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forever44.8m (146'12&quot;)Logica Yachts2014">Forever</a>&nbsp;after the refit&nbsp; Even taking into account the hard work behind the refit, it’s certainly not all work and no play for Mähren, whose favourite elements of the refit were implemented with serious enjoyment in mind. Just look at the bar: “We put in a back-lit onyx bar on the upper deck which shines with colour-changing LED lights. It’s a fantastic party place and perfect to meet your friends for an aperitif before dinner.”&nbsp;There is also the matter of the two dance floors with integrated lasers and a 35,000 watt music system which Mähren had installed.&nbsp;With Mähren showcasing a boat that can be transformed from a functional business boat into the perfect party location with the push of a button, why aren't more young owners following suit? As Mähren explains, the potential clientele is there. “The whole market is way more open than it ever has been. It is much easier for people who are working hard and have a good idea to become pretty rich so they can afford a boat. For example, successful startup investors who do an exit. If you are young and you want to have fun, a boat is a fantastic opportunity to do that.”&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/116492/image/large-ff2d2340f3b6ead998eea9cb7b268247.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/116492"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forever44.8m (146'12&quot;)Logica Yachts2014">Forever&nbsp;</a>after her refit&nbsp;Making charter more attractive to successful entrepreneurs could be a good starting point. “Chartering in Thailand, Croatia, Montenegro and the Balearics was my first step into the industry. Charter is more focused on families but we could show people that chartering a yacht when you are in a group is not super expensive. It is basically the same as renting a luxury villa but you are way more flexible. You can see so many beaches, especially in the summer season when all the beaches are full and you have your own chef on board.”&nbsp;Alternatively, looking again to the real estate industry could also provide some inspiration. “Real estate has opened up to younger people through shared ownership or rental schemes. There are so many different ways to sell or charter a boat, which could, in my eyes, be used a little bit better.”All in all, despite having to contend with his father being mistaken for the owner of the boat on occasion (“When I invite my parents on the boat, sometimes people think I am a deckhand and he is the owner, but I actually find it pretty funny”), Mähren serves as a perfect example of an owner who is really making the most of superyacht ownership in all of its different facets. So, is it <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forever44.8m (146'12&quot;)Logica Yachts2014">Forever</a> by name, forever by nature, or does Mähren have other plans?“I am super happy to have&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forever44.8m (146'12&quot;)Logica Yachts2014">Forever.&nbsp;</a>She is exactly what I want and is custom made for me from the inside. I am usually a person that is always running after bigger things but I have calmed down a little bit so I can actually just enjoy the boat. Right now, it is big enough and I can see all the places I want to. That said, you never know what the future will bring...”<img src="/uploads/store/photo/116496/image/large-5b1438af51cf9674b2c745aff0fd447e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/116496"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forever44.8m (146'12&quot;)Logica Yachts2014">Forever</a>&nbsp;after her refit To discover more about the refit, SYT sat down with interior designer Michael Niederer from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5112" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="St. Corona Interiors (Company)">St. Corona Interiors</a> who told us all about <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forever44.8m (146'12&quot;)Logica Yachts2014">Forever</a>'s&nbsp;extraordinary transformation. You were given a carte blanche by Jakob for the interior design project. How did this affect your approach to the work?&nbsp;The only thing Jakob told me was that he would like to have a light, modern yacht, that transmitted the atmosphere of a Miami penthouse. This provided me with the unusual freedom to create the entire design concept without interruptions until I believed it was perfect. It was like creating a painting and presenting it at the end was a wonderful experience!<img src="/uploads/store/photo/116330/image/large-21ba6465641eba704431fcbc62ea2fd9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/116330"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/116357/image/large-0bab0c12a3321b064ec26282fcf4ab12.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/116357">Motor yacht&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forever44.8m (146'12&quot;)Logica Yachts2014">Forever</a>&nbsp;before and after the refit&nbsp; What was your overall vision for the interior work?My idea was to create a place where the exterior, interior and graphic design speak the same language. Most of the exterior design was already finished so <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forever44.8m (146'12&quot;)Logica Yachts2014">Forever&nbsp;</a>received an interior that is in line with the exterior: it is all one piece. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/116493/image/large-9fa968a81ce4aec51563f86c33d727e7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/116493">Installing the&nbsp;12-metre stone staircase was a particular challenge during the refit. What were the most challenging elements of the work you had to do in the seven-month period?&nbsp;There were a series of challenges to contend with. It was very difficult to build a 35,000-watt sound system into an existing steel and aluminium structure. We also built in a 12-metre-high stone staircase and a stonewall which had a hidden door and wine fridge. Another difficulty was the need to make the surface of the stone look like a rough, natural stonewall that was smooth at the same time.&nbsp;The onyx bar was also very complex to design and build. We had to make a construction that kept the floor movement away from the sensitive onyx. Every detail had to be considered, including a feature that would allow the water to run out of the backlit stone. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/116333/image/large-aa3bbcaf845733c35b0454c2496e0889.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/116333"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/116494/image/large-f87e001a8e4752600b824af0a7bec483.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/116494">Dining on board&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forever44.8m (146'12&quot;)Logica Yachts2014">Forever</a>, before (top) and after the refit. How was the process of sourcing materials for the refit works?&nbsp;Luckily, Captain Thomas Donato is from Viareggio which is where the yacht had originally been built. He knows everybody. Without him, it would have been impossible to rebuild the boat in the time we had for construction. Were you pleased with the outcome? What was your favourite element of the refit work? I am absolutely happy with the outcome. I love the balance between the rough stonewall and the walls which are covered with the finest Loro Piana linen. I am also very pleased with the lighting concept we created within <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forever44.8m (146'12&quot;)Logica Yachts2014">Forever</a>. Even though we used a lot of cold colours and rough materials, the dual white system allowed us to switch between a warm candlelight atmosphere during the evening and a fresh and vibrant daylight atmosphere. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="https://shop.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title=""><img src="/uploads/store/photo/55401/image/large-6524e9c9dfc37e22bf131ecc39bea57e.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/55401"></a>This article first appeared in the SuperYacht Times newspaper. <a href="http://www.superyachtcompany.com/newspaper/the-superyacht-times-subscription">Subscribe now&nbsp;</a>to receive your copy straight to your door and never miss another issue.

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="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/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="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/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. Unusually, the crew tender is housed in a compartment between the owner’s bathroom and the galley on the main deck. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/60001/image/large-f970acd80d76a3c4f8821c6256fd8c55.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/60001">The new project also reunites <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4329" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Logica Yachts (Company)">Logica Yachts&nbsp;</a>and naval architect Pierluigi Ausonio of<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4331" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="P.L.A.N.A.

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;

The original owner of the vessel - a real estate and media tycoon based in Canada - is also the builder of the boat, who bought the Logica brand from the Benetti Sail Division when he realised halfway through the build that he, in fact, wanted full ownership of the project. The yacht was later sold in 2017 and renamed as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4305" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forever44.8m (146'12&quot;)">Forever</a>. &nbsp;She was captured over the weekend by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/144585237@N08/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Ignazio Bellomo</a> off the island of Favignana, near Sicily.&nbsp;

The Logica superyacht Forever in Favignana

The 45m superyacht Logica sold 

Milan-based designer Brenta Design worked with Logica Yachts to create the latest addition to their range, the Logica 135. The yacht will be constructed with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, and is said to be highly efficient, comfortable and safe while adhering to the eco-friendly design brief.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155545/image/large-6117ff1428ac8181dd5d24484ae4aabc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155545">Following on the proven performance from the Logica 147, the 135 will feature the same sea-keeping abilities and low fuel consumption thanks to the work by PLANA Design’s naval architecture expertise. The interior space has been laid out in such a way to offer the master cabin the maximum space available, with large windows and a private deck forward with a swimming pool. On the lower deck are two VIP and two beamy guest cabins.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155546/image/large-cbb77d364be5ab62b25e3419773c0992.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155546">The Logica 135, features a large beach club area and houses a 6,3 metre tender in her side garage.

Logica Yachts extends line with new Logica 135 design

Logica Yachts has introduced their latest steel and aluminium superyacht project, the 37 metre Logica 120. She features exterior design by Brenta Design, whilst P.L.A.N.A. undertook her naval architecture.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/153998/image/large-2ea9cd1fff4dad803794686f124cdb30.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/153998" class="legacy">On board she accommodates up to ten guests in total, with the luxurious owner’s suite located forward on the main deck. Throughout the vessel, there is a clear focus on enjoying the very best of both indoor and outdoor living, with large windows, open plan spaces and large exterior deck areas that also work to make her interiors bright and airy.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/153999/image/large-fc63565149e523027496a706c55d59d5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/153999" class="legacy">The galley is also located on the main deck, allowing the crew of up to five to offer the best service to the guests. In the stern garage, a tender of 6.2 metres, a tender of 3.5 metres as well as two jet skis can be easily accommodated for.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/154000/image/large-e334b8b33892e529d5a950c691bdb91e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154000" class="legacy">The 120 is the smallest of the Logica Yachts range, but powered by twin MTU 10V 2000 M72 engines, she still has an impressive transoceanic range of 5,000 nm.

Logica introduces 37m superyacht concept

Logica Yachts has taken over a new facility in Viareggio, in preparation for future growth. The yard, which is owned by a big international holding, has recently acquired a new production facility and offices in Viareggio.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152673/image/large-4e9277ff1b1fe0c82e4801911a7f6ce7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152428">The shipyard’s shareholders decision to invest in the business, came after the delivery of the first 45 metre My Logica, which was well received at the 2014 Monaco and Cannes Yacht shows.The Italian yard will now be able to build yachts up to 55 metres in length. Logica is currently developing a new range of yachts, more information on those models will be released soon.By Maarten Janssen

Logica Yachts invests in new yard

The 44.8 metre superyacht Logica 147-01 is the second delivery of the Logica Yachts line up. Though the contract for the yacht was initially signed with Benetti Sail Division in 2011, the project was passed to Logica Yachts and launched from the Italian shipyard’s Viareggio facility in May 2014. Displaying a dark navy hull, she features naval architecture by P.L.A.N.A. Design and exterior designs by Luca Brenta &amp; Co.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/152428/image/large-aeaac47240c6a23ca83d76ab3619b2a7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152428" class="legacy"><img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/152429/image/large-2e0ea053e36b486c19074246d5b6cbbb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152429" class="legacy"> <img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/152430/image/large-4402d140a389dd280f1f53fa0ccd3961.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152430" class="legacy">The British designer, Martin Kemp Design, is responsible for her beautiful interiors. Interestingly, the owner - a real estate and media tycoon based in Canada - is also the builder of the boat, who bought the Logica brand from the Benetti Sail Division when he realised half way through the build that he in fact wanted full ownership of the project.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/152431/image/large-4deeaa20dfa11e7a50aabef17869f0d3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152431" class="legacy">One of her most notable characteristics is her huge internal volumes, especially for a yacht of this size. Throughout the vessel, a contemporary, sophisticated environment has been designed to the very last detail. The colour scheme is simple and clean in shades of ash greys, browns, golds and creams, and creates a very contemporary feel to the yacht. Her vast main deck saloon boasts a beautiful oak floor with stainless steel insets, and is surrounded by luxurious materials as well as mirror, glass, polished ebony and lacquer which have been utilised to emphasise her spaces. Plenty of plush seating awaits guests in this area, with cream sofas and armchairs lined on either side of the room. Large, patterned cushions lay on the furniture and bespoke, golden coloured coffee tables lay in the middle of the saloon, giving a chic edge to the ambiance of refinement.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/152432/image/large-81d7dcbd6fa9cefcb1e1ca98becdff9d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152432" class="legacy"><img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/152433/image/large-ba4b200f47c5a61975e5eb03ebaf9183.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152433" class="legacy"> <img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/152434/image/large-7575a02ad42410c408020e407acb98bf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152434" class="legacy">The main dining area is also found in the main saloon, and features a large glass table encompassed by white leather and dark wood chairs for up to ten guests. Despite the beautiful furniture and exquisite decor throughout, one of the most eye-catching aspects of this area is the incredible, unique chandelier that hangs above the dining table. The whole area is surrounded by large windows, inundating the space with natural light and of course providing fantastic views for guests to enjoy whether relaxing on the sofa, entertaining over drinks or experiencing a taste of fine dining at the dining table.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/152435/image/large-25217c0e0113f937c10a02fc836914f1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152435" class="legacy">In regards to her accommodation, she sleeps up to 12 guests in total over a 6 cabin layout, including a luxurious master suite, one VIP cabin and four guest cabins.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/152436/image/large-6ce554df65eed5c97a356f1f0ba7cc57.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152436" class="legacy"> <img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/152437/image/large-674663fcf72edbcdf789def548e39878.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152437" class="legacy">The full beam master suite is located forward on the main deck, and, like many other living spaces on board Logica, boast vast spaces for her owner’s to enjoy. Including a commodious en-suite, marble bathroom as well as a private office space, extensive windows are located forward and along each beam, bathing the space with natural light.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/152438/image/large-1a410799db7f9df4ca694748e5b33ff9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152438" class="legacy">The VIP cabin is unusually located below in the stern, and although noise levels are, comparably, not quite as low as the other guest cabins located on the lower deck or in other rooms on board, it too exhibits commodious spaces for its guests and has the advantage of ease of access and proximity to the gym area and beach club on board. A crew of 9 are also accommodated on board Logica. Crew accommodation can be found on the lower deck located forward, as well as a large crew mess.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/152439/image/large-3ba3bc9edb1a529b02233f3856cedb23.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152439" class="legacy"><img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/152440/image/large-1e19b75d0092c2803fca905623d8af16.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152440" class="legacy"> <img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/152441/image/large-c387b9f2282179569ed0e05d44385b86.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152441" class="legacy">Moving on to her extensive outside spaces, amongst her many exciting facilities and amenities on board is an impressive and unrivalled, extra large 5.5 metre swimming pool. The expansive pool is located in the forward of the main deck just ahead of the main owner’s cabin, and features a downstream swimming system, both fresh and seawater and a bespoke whirlpool.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/152442/image/large-6c9c56326c670f535ed55070bd9eba27.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152442" class="legacy">Spectacular views are afforded guests as they relax in and around the pool, with large, comfortable sun loungers and uninterrupted views surrounding them.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/152443/image/large-1ca10a7308f122cfef75e13138a32000.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152443" class="legacy"> <img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/152444/image/large-d21dbe248310c7e56a17bf057e1df67e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152444" class="legacy">Elsewhere, the upper deck aft features a large dining table for up to twelve guests. Partly shaded, a large bar is found directly adjacent. The area provides the ideal space to enjoy the best of al fresco dining whilst soaking in the fantastic weather, or entertaining at night at the bar. A cushioned corner seating area is also found in this area, giving guests an additional option to relax and unwind. The sundeck features a large space filled with sun loungers, offering uninterrupted views.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/152445/image/large-7ebdf236e19fd8c05dad845c0298b6d0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152445" class="legacy">Powered by 2 x MAN D2862 LE 463 medium duty diesel engines, she has a maximum speed of 16.9 knots, a cruising speed of 15 knots. Her large capacity tanks (71,000 litre fuel capacity, 17,000 litre water capacity) allow for lengthy passages, offering the owner the luxury of being able to choose from a vast expanse of cruising destinations and routes around the world. At an economical cruising speed of 10.5 knots, she has a range of over 6,500 nm. Moreover, her RINA green plus certification means that she will be allowed to stay at anchor in the most beautiful, pure and uncontaminated marine areas.By Gemma Fottles
