We approached this challenge with determination and the shared aspiration of turning our dream into reality. Now, we are proud to see our dream materialising before us.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/280651/image/large-2819bb994a34680a921c30b27addf34a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/280651">Marco Arnaboldi: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6700" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Centouno Navi (Company)">CENTOUNONAVI</a> has encountered its fair share of significant challenges on its journey. Our determination stems from the realisation of our dreams and global recognition our designs have garnered. Collaborating with shipyards worldwide, we have consistently sought to introduce unique solutions and innovative ideas. However, it is important to note that these propositions haven't always been readily embraced, as they sometimes challenge the established production paradigms of these shipyards.&nbsp;Despite encountering resistance, we’ve persisted in offering our distinct designs and services, which have been well-received by those seeking our expertise. However, it is clear that there is a reluctance to embrace change and veer from established production norms. It was in the face of this challenge that we made a decisive choice - to take matters into our own hands and set up <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6700" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Centouno Navi (Company)">CENTOUNONAVI</a>.&nbsp;What sets&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6700" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Centouno Navi (Company)">Centouno Navi</a>&nbsp;apart from other yacht builders?Manuela Lucchesi: We take pride in our technical and engineering-oriented approach, as we manage every aspect in-house, right from the initial concept of the yacht to its realisation, including engineering design and material selection. Every step of the process is crafted with the utmost care and expertise, ensuring that each detail is meticulously designed and brought to life by our dedicated team.Marco Arnaboldi: We have harmonised the latest advancements with around four decades of research and development achievements. As emphasised earlier, While numerous shipyards pursue collaboration, they frequently falter in embracing innovation. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6700" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Centouno Navi (Company)">CENTOUNONAVI</a> remains undeterred, having firmly established and perpetually refined its designs. Our true differentiator lies in our capacity to deliver excellence in high speed vessels, a realm where our competitors lack the requisite expertise. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/274130/image/large-344e038f833d4dff6a04f0ce382efc27.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/274130">Which factors influenced the decision for&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6700" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Centouno Navi (Company)">CENTOUNONAVI</a>&nbsp;to focus on designing yachts with exceptional speed capabilities?Marco Arnaboldi: I have spent a lot of time on boats. Personally, the most challenging aspect for me has been the duration of the sea voyage. The quicker I reached my destination, the more I could eagerly anticipate and relish what awaited me next.&nbsp;Manuela Lucchesi: Marco is an avid speed enthusiast, whether it be car races or even space races. He has such a passion for speed that if he were to journey to the moon, he'd arrive in half the usual time.Marco Arnaboldi: We've experienced firsthand that even with a limited time and a longing to reach stunning destinations, the allure of a pristine sea awaits, even in places far from Viareggio. With our engineering capabilities, one can contemplate a journey to the island of Elba. While a conventional boat demands three hours, our vessels can reduce the voyage to a mere hour and fifteen minutes. Moreover, it's now possible to venture to the Emerald Coast in Sardinia or Corsica – typically a seven-hour voyage by traditional means – within a swift three and a half hours aboard our yachts.Manuela Lucchesi: In today’s maritime landscape, shipowners' demand for speed is paramount. Their needs are dynamic, whether from wanting to be at one location to swiftly reaching another for dinner or finding a secluded beach. Hence, speed emerges as a pivotal factor steering the trajectory of future developments within the yachting industry.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/225998/image/large-c841697d3367dda92a43b0812b17d01d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/225998">Marco Arnaboldi:&nbsp;Our desire for speed does not come at the expense of comfort in our yachts. We've meticulously engineered our vessels to be both swift and serene/tranquil. Thanks to our waterjet propulsion system, vibrations are virtually eliminated, resulting in a remarkably smooth and pleasant experience even at high speeds.Since my entry into the industry at the age of 18, I've come to observe how different propulsion methods can attain comparable speeds. However, this achievement often comes at a price, impacting the overall design of a yacht and diminishing its comfort. Our philosophy is fundamentally rooted in crafting yachts that offer not only impressive speed but also unparalleled comfort and luxury—qualities that may be absent in other similar vessels.You may have noticed an emerging trend in the industry where many shipyards are incorporating waterjets into their production lines. Interestingly, we've been at the forefront of this transformation, frequently contributing as consultants or designers for these projects. The adoption of our expertise and approach by numerous shipyards underscores the demand for yachts that offer exceptional speed capabilities without sacrificing comfort.While some may find satisfaction cruising at 40 knots, our determination propels us further. We strive to push the boundaries, aiming for speeds that exceed by 20 knots beyond, all while ensuring a seamless and harmonious experience for those onboard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/280634/image/large-34646c82641cacd36a4aa4dee570f573.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/280634">Could you elaborate on the engineering aspects of achieving and optimising high-speed performance in your yachts?Marco Arnaboldi: To achieve and optimise high-speed performance in our yachts, we've adopted an unconventional approach that revolves around the concept of doing more with less. Traditional methods involve adding significant horsepower to a boat, leading to challenges such as the need for larger engines and increased fuel capacity. However, this framework results in a heavier engine, reduced comfort, and the necessity for a stronger, albeit heavier, structure.In contrast, our strategy focuses on efficiency through lightweight engineering. We've designed a hull that upholds &nbsp;the same performance standards while achieving a 30% reduction in weight. This weight reduction not only allows us to employ engines with 30% less horsepower but also facilitates the use of engines that are 50% lighter than their conventional counterparts. As a result, we can integrate smaller waterjets, distinct from those required for larger engines.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/274110/image/large-bf672d9b3d48a1df2f788d558b4a4d48.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/274110">Our commitment to innovation extends to the interior as well. We employ technology that minimises the use of wood and embraces lighter, recycled, or recyclable materials. This approach results in a remarkable 70% reduction in furniture weight. This reduction in wood usage aligns with our eco-conscious mindset, leading to fewer trees cut, decreased fuel consumption, and lower CO2 emissions. This philosophy has solidified our motto: "fast is green," a principle we have effectively demonstrated.Consider our panels, they have a wood content that is 70% less than traditional wood panels, and are notably lighter. The foam and wood within these panels are both recycled and recyclable, contributing to our efforts in minimising our environmental footprint.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/225987/image/large-b2a7d7c26dd4661261d04c977f36a8c4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/225987">As for flooring, we have adopted a floating floor design that remains unconnected from the structure, we've implemented elastic bonds developed in collaboration with leading adhesive manufacturers. These polyurethane glues, employing PVC for maximum wood adhesion, create a secure bond that remains resilient even under stress.Our innovative engineering capacity also extends to the very structure of our yachts. Although structural bulkheads are commonly considered imperative for stability, we've collaborated with our skilled structural engineers to demonstrate that our vessels can be designed without them. This unique approach allows us to craft custom specifications for each client's needs. Clients can request adjustments to the placement of bulkheads or even envision an entirely open boat layout, all without the need to modify the hull. These features, although they may seem astounding, exemplify the tangible results of our innovative philosophy.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/280633/image/large-a23564239dbffc7377b4d56bcf091438.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/280633">Can you share details about your construction capacity and offer insights into any upcoming planned developments for the future?Marco Arnaboldi: Our objective is to focus on delivering tailored projects rather than the mass production of yachts. Currently, our current production capacity allows us to build up to four units of the Vespro model per year. Additionally, we are finalising negotiations for the construction of our 27-metre Forza model.&nbsp;Manuela Lucchesi: Our vision for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6700" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Centouno Navi (Company)">CENTOUNONAVI</a> is one of growth and expansion. We’re actively engaged in ongoing negotiations, driven by high expectations and anticipation of our Vespro model. Its unveiling is scheduled for this September at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/172" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cannes Yachting Festival - 2023">Cannes Yacht Show</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/280652/image/large-2fe66d50d5d09fd23c2ff4e965f2a505.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/280652">

Need for speed: The foundation of CENTOUNONAVI

CENTOUNONAVI emerges as an upcoming shipyard in the superyacht sector with a reputation for specialising in waterjet propulsion cruisers.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri di Pisa (Company)">Cantieri di Pisa</a> is an Italian shipyard with a dynasty that spans the best part of a century. Despite being founded in 1945 in Limite sull’Arno to build and repair smaller yachts, by 1956 the yard was moved to Darsena Pisana as it had started signing projects too large for its facility.&nbsp;The shipyard has had an illustrious history, delivering more than 700 yachts &nbsp;– the largest of which being the 43.6-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1655" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cap de Quers43.6m (143'1&quot;)Cantieri di Pisa2006">Cap de Quers</a>. The 27.43-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7829" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nasima 27.43m (89'12&quot;)Cantieri di Pisa2012">Nasima</a> was the yard’s last build, and following her delivery in 2012 the yard closed and was finally sold.&nbsp;The shipyard was bought 18 months ago and is back in business, with a fleet of new projects under its new leadership. SuperYacht Times sat down with CEO Marco Massabò to hear all about it.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260833/image/large-8899422b8b6ae0ea4429c0654f8f493f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260833">What is your background prior to&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri di Pisa (Company)">Cantieri di Pisa</a>?&nbsp;Yachts have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My father was a wood master and started working at a shipyard in Imperia, Italy, 70 years ago. I love boats and have professionally sailed for many years, competing from the Optimist to the Maxi yacht regattas – I’ve had a long collaboration with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/758" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="North Sails (Company)">North Sails</a>.&nbsp;In 1992 I met Luca Bassani, founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/166" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wally (Company)">Wally</a>, and worked alongside him for 20 years. The brand was missing a refit yard in Italy, so I bought and founded one (WS Shipyard) in Savona. It's been very successful. I then moved into consultancy around 2010, working with clients both in yachting and shipping.&nbsp;I was working with some major players – it was a nice life. But around a year and a half ago, Enrico Gennasio (president and owner of the Alfagomma group) told me he was going to buy <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri di Pisa (Company)">Cantieri di Pisa</a>, asking if I wanted to work with him.&nbsp;A great opportunity. I immediately got to work, spending time with naval architects and exterior designers, dreaming up the best yachts we can bring to market. The shipyard had great energy, and a number of great international designers came to visit us. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259110/image/large-dc2f2a0d48808d14b563a945716e4215.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259110"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri di Pisa (Company)">Cantieri di Pisa</a>&nbsp;is back building yachts. Do these new models reflect a new vision?<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri di Pisa (Company)">Cantieri di Pisa</a> is an iconic brand. We’re not here to change the rules, we want to rewrite them. The yachts that we’ve started to build are different from what <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri di Pisa (Company)">Cantieri di Pisa</a> traditionally did. But we also want to be different from our competitors.&nbsp;Rather than starting from aesthetics, our primary interest is weight. We want to save as much weight as possible, to build and deliver some of the lightest yachts on the market. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri di Pisa (Company)">Cantieri di Pisa</a> yachts are fast, agile, and incredibly sleek and all have shallow drafts. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/258737/image/large-8913f6c24d1edd5383a600b3c775dbbb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/258737">The 25m 80 Veloce – the first&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri di Pisa (Company)">Cantieri di Pisa</a>&nbsp;yacht since 2012 – is scheduled for delivery this year. Can you say a few words about her?&nbsp;The 80 Veloce is our first yacht. We wanted to build something that embodies our new philosophy – and she’s crazy fast! She’ll be equipped with three 2,000 horsepower V12 <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> engines that deliver a top speed in excess of 60 knots. The series has been well received and we already have clients signed for the second and third hull.&nbsp;She’s not for everyone though – which is why we’re about to present a Gran Turismo edition to the market. The 80 GT is based on the same lightweight hull yet with a more family-focused design. She’ll also be equipped with two engines, not three. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/258738/image/large-72d27a22a4c507d152fcab6398958f5e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/258738"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri di Pisa (Company)">Cantieri di Pisa</a>&nbsp;also presented the new Akhir series. Has this model line been well received and are you considering building on speculation?&nbsp;The Akhir series is a new design for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri di Pisa (Company)">Cantieri di Pisa</a> which is offered in three sizes: a 31-metre, a 37-metre and a 42-metre flagship. Much like the 80 Veloce the idea is to keep the weight down as much as possible. The series has a contemporary design and we’re in talks about whether to build the first unit on speculation – it might happen, but I can’t confirm either way at this moment in time. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259105/image/large-50b2769c2995a007591094d39d092014.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259105">Why is weight such an important topic for&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri di Pisa (Company)">Cantieri di Pisa</a>?Any sailor will tell you the importance of weight – they just will. I’ve personally sailed around the world on some of the world’s most important and fastest boats, and every time their core attribute was weight. However, shipyards and designers rarely consider weight early on when they’re planning a new project. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri di Pisa (Company)">Cantieri di Pisa</a> does things differently, it’s my absolute credo. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259106/image/large-848f31e2855eb67f5df5c8156f48eba3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259106">Choosing to build light implies a commitment to delivering yachts with shallow drafts. How else are you trying to maximise this across all your series?&nbsp;We’ll equip both the 80 Veloce and Gran Turismo series with waterjets. Waterjets are the safest way to arrive at high speeds and they can go in really shallow waters. And to overcome issues of sucking up sand (a particular issue in Miami), we’ve added a special sea chest. It's a simple, not crazy innovation.&nbsp;Coming from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/166" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wally (Company)">Wally</a>, I of course have taken inspiration from their model lines and I especially like what they’ve done with the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/166" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wally (Company)">Wally</a> 118 Power – the James Bond yacht. But I’ve also listened closely to my friend and naval architect, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1206" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Marco Arnaboldi (Company)">Marco Arnaboldi</a>, who designed many fast boats, including the CDP80 veloce. He’s one of the best in the world when it comes to waterjet technology. We decided to follow him on our design – there isn’t anyone better! <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259100/image/large-e738a900d681e7e9b00f4677cfafd4fd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259100">An automotive designer and America’s Cup engineer collaborating on your designs. How did this come about?It’s simple. We want speed and performance, so why not bring in the best?

When we took over <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cantieri di Pisa (Company)">Cantieri di Pisa</a>, it hadn’t been operating for 10 years. We invested around €1.5 million to renovate the facilities and in the past 18 months, we have worked on 27 yachts, which brings a good level of return for the business: building capital and our reputation.&nbsp;Working as a refit yard has also put us in direct communication with many captains, which is great for our Research &amp; Development. For the past 18 months, we’ve been learning the trouble points and how to build a perfect yacht, designed for the captain.&nbsp;We’ve continued to invest and we’ll soon announce a new facility.&nbsp;

The bow area of the main deck is conceived as a partial full beam and characterises the volume of the owner's stateroom in an unusual way, providing a more spacious area inside compared to a traditional layout.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/228921/image/large-f96057b6ea6a9cba52c836b3bbae2b12.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/228921">The bow area can be adapted to meet the needs of the owner with two different configurations. The first version allows for a sunbathing area distributed across two decks while the second consists of tables, two sofas and a raised sunbathing area. The fly bridge is minimal, with a lounge and dining area and a very light T-top in line with the boat's volumes.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/228924/image/large-2d2f85b5800f52ed2e46d91a5f6c1563.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/228924">The interior design of the SD90/s comes from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5443" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Patricia Urquiola (Company)">Patricia Urquiola</a> who has used adaptable furnishings and configurations to allow for easy transformations. The layout of the saloon on the main deck makes it possible to have both a lounge and dining area, solutions typically found on larger yachts, thanks to the use of tables that can be transformed in height and comfortable sofas.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/228926/image/large-a28ee278d82885b6f2e99fab63c66150.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/228926">The materials used onboard have also been greatly considered, with lots of raw materials and alternative sources used. The wood panelling has been clad in cannulated Paper Factor and the sustainable terrazzo used in the bathrooms has been selected to ensure a lower environmental impact. As well as this, the saloon's bow wall is made of recycled glass and bio-resins have been used for the details of the ceilings and furnishings.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/228915/image/large-c9dd79a165441890487f5c9f6b5f2509.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/228915">Great attention has also been given to the sustainable hybrid propulsion system designed in collaboration with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1981" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Siemens (Company)">Siemens</a>. The SD90/s aims to offer high performance by optimising the power generated by her lithium batteries when sailing. She also has a ‘Zero Emission Mode’ (ZEM) that allows her to produce no or little emissions or noise. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/228894/image/large-3c001d132d3cae22a2695de5ab4d6b54.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/228894">The research and development also continues with the SP110 that combines innovation with sustainability. The project was made possible by a collaboration between <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/105" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuccon International Project (Company)">Bernardo Zuccon</a> for the exteriors, Tilli Antonelli at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> product development, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1206" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Marco Arnaboldi (Company)">Marco Arnaboldi</a> for the hull design, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/78" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lissoni Associati (Company)">Piero Lissoni</a> for the interiors.The SP110 will be the first yacht in the ‘Smart Performance’ range with a vision for high performance with maximum energy efficiency. Thanks to a fractional propulsion system, the boat is able to move around using just one engine, a pair, or all three; thus allowing great flexibility, low consumption and different autonomy depending on the desired speed.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/228908/image/large-0cd7367ede8c2cebca9bf516c459e3bc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/228908">The hull of the SP110 has been optimised for use with hydro jet propulsion. &nbsp;This type of propulsion is an advantage over propeller propulsion because it is less sensitive to variations in the boat's weight and therefore more versatile. To further optimise consumption and performance lighter materials such as laminated glass have been used for the larger surfaces. The exterior design by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/105" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuccon International Project (Company)">Zuccon International Project</a> also sees aerodynamic lines and a colour palette more typical for sports yachts to refer to the strong emotional character of this design. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/228907/image/large-cebbd4579ed54a8dd91b5403a9587cf1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/228907">"While respecting the stylistic features that have historically characterised this type of boat, such as the aerodynamic and extremely organic surfaces, with Tilli Antonelli, we arrived at a compromise: to conceive a boat dialogue between dynamism and a liveability that is not normally perceived onboats of this size." said Bernardo Zuccon of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/105" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuccon International Project (Company)">Zuccon International Project</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/228906/image/large-fe9e0ab7b9ef4cd33b3ececbc1407655.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/228906">The SP110 is equipped with an energy recovery system that uses high-efficiency 6kW monocrystalline solar panels and lithium batteries that allow the boat to maintain hotellerie functions for a few hours without the use of generators. The deckhouse also allows for solar panels to be installed on the largest usable surface without disturbing the aesthetics of the boat's profile.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/228905/image/large-f27f7578b985a987fdbcf64a90522a8f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/228905">The two deck layout of the SP110 sees an interior design by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/78" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lissoni Associati (Company)">Piero Lissoni</a>, who has tried to create a free-flowing design between interior and exterior spaces. On the upper deck, the large sundeck deck is complemented by the wheelhouse overlooking the bow. The lowered deck allows the lower deck to be enjoyed from a view of the living area aft and the sea, while outside, from the deck aft, there is visual access to the lower lounge on the main deck. These solutions once again allow a total synergy between the interior and exterior environment.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/228901/image/large-7df766a9c7871bf17f44de0abd67d9e3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/228901">"I tried to bring the same attitude as the other models to this boat with its sporty lines: open spaces, connection between interior and exterior, and lots of technology. One of the central elements is the double height at the stern that makes the main deck communicate with the lounge below via a hyper-technological staircase." said Piero <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/78" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lissoni Associati (Company)">Lissoni</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/228904/image/large-90cd7f877805c8d7482fe92ced7492b0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/228904">The galley of the SP110 can be enclosed with solid or translucent walls to make the area seem bigger than it is. The flexible lounge area means the room can be adapted for any occasion. Under the flooring it is possible to place a tender that disappears completely from view allowing a total use of the spaces up to sea level.The design of the SP110 embodies Sanlorenzo's vision in which the founding principles of sustainability, comfort and exclusivity converge. This new design projects the shipyard into the future and completely moves away from conventional models in the same market segment. As well as this it sets a new benchmark for the models that will follow.

Musa in Roccapina, Corsica

Seen here cruising off the idyllic Corsican beach of Roccapina is the 36-metre speedster Musa. Built by AB Yachts in 2009, this Italian stallion is capable of reaching 47 knots on a good day. She was designed by Marco Arnaboldi and Guido de Groot with Barbara Tognon having designed the yacht's interior. On board she accommodates up to 11 guests in a large owner's suite, three twin cabins, one VIP cabin and additional single cabin. A dedicated crew of five are also accommodated for. Expertly maintained by her professional crew, Musa spends much of her time around the Costa Smeralda where she is available for charter.

The AB 116 superyacht Musa at speed off Roccapina

In this series of articles, we take a look at the best charter deals currently on offer, as judged by our very own editors. What, Why, Where and Who forms the basis of the articles. This week we look at the 36.25 metre Musa, available for charter in the Western Mediterranean.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/160139/image/large-7ba9ae126f3c5417854fcada6787b88a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/160139">

What is on offer?

Built by the Italian shipyard AB Yachts and completed in 2009, the 36.25 metre superyacht Musa features naval architecture and exterior design by Marco Arnaboldi, with Guido de Groot Design collaborating on the latter. Her luxurious interior was undertaken by Barbara Tognon. 
	 

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/160140/image/large-d07af8ea238ca07fb8614f1f19bd1b9c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/160140">

On board she accommodates up to 11 guests on board over a large owner’s suite, three twin cabins, one VIP cabin and an additional single cabin.  A dedicated crew of five are also accommodated for on board, headed by Captain Valerio Fanciulli. Powered by three MTU 16V2000 M93 with waterjets, she has a top speed of 47 knots and with a cruising speed of 36 knots. Musa’s speed is perfectly suited to scout the crystal clear waters of Sardinia's bays and coves.

Why do we think this is such a good deal?

Maintained in excellent condition, Musa comes with a whole host of tenders and water toys on board for guests to fully enjoy, including a Novurania 5.4 Equator Jet tender, a Yamaha waverunner, snorkeling gear, inflatable towable toys and an SUP board. As an additional value, her home-berth in the picturesque Marina dell’Orsa in Poltu Quatu (just 3nm north of Porto Cervo) is included in her charter rate when cruising Sardinia. This also makes Musa be one of the largest superyachts permanently based in Sardinia and available for charter, hence saving on the usual hefty delivery fees otherwise required to relocate there.

When is she available?

Starting the 1st June 2016, Musa will be based in the heart of the much-sought Costa Smeralda area for the summer, with itineraries available including Naples and Sardinia, as well as both Corsica and the French Riviera. Summer charters are priced at €85,000 per week during low season, and €90,000 per week in high season, plus expenses.
