For the first time, the signature fashion plates are frameless, while Grigio Europa glass inserts add a sophisticated effect through subtle light and shadow reflections.“The Mangusta GranSport 50 has everything one expects of a Mangusta yacht: a highly recognizable sporty profile that embraces generous, stylishly harmonised interiors and exteriors, in an engineering feat that combines high speed, fuel efficiency, and unmatched comfort with trans-oceanic range,” commented <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/473" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Overmarine Group SPA (Company)">Overmarine Group</a> CEO Maurizio Balducci.Meanwhile, the new Mangusta GranSport 50 interiors place a strong emphasis on openness, with each deck designed to offer a distinct interpretation of life onboard. She accommodates up to 12 guests across five well-appointed staterooms, while nine crew members are housed in five dedicated cabins. The full-beam master suite features extensive glazing and can be fitted with an automatically operated balcony. The entire main deck is now devoted to the owner with the galley relocated to the lower deck.Described by the shipyard as an ‘elevated escape,’ the sundeck serves as an exclusive terrace where guests can enjoy panoramic views. The yacht introduces an elevated perspective through a layout spanning three and a half decks, complemented by a raised pilothouse (RPH). The ‘Upper Deck-and-a-Half’ configuration creates a higher helm position, offering enhanced visibility during navigation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389576/image/large-d973d16b6a6383e8931af5d650491841.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389576">President of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/473" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Overmarine Group SPA (Company)">Mangusta Americas</a> Stefano Arlunno oversaw the design process. “The inspiration behind the Mangusta GranSport 50 is equally simple and revolutionary: to offer ‘1/2 more' - half a deck more,” said Stefano.With the pilothouse positioned on the upper deck, additional space is freed up forward, maximising the potential of this area. It now features the signature infinity pool alongside a panoramic lounge. The pool, characterised by its minimalist design, has been reimagined as a central feature of the deck.“The Raised Pilot House changes everything: we wanted to free up the upper deck by envisaging new configurations that would radically redefine the onboard experience and create spaces to live, and not just to walk through. On this vessel, the sea doesn’t simply surround you; it also stretches out right in front of you,” added Stefano.&nbsp;Moreover, the owner can choose between two pre-engineered configurations: the lounge area may instead be transformed into a sixth panoramic cabin filled with natural light or a private family lounge or office overlooking the bow and infinity pool. This latter option effectively turns the entire level into the owner’s private deck, repurposing an area traditionally reserved for the bridge for the exclusive enjoyment of the owner and their guests.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389575/image/large-f4e5095b8f4dd1055ed3a6fb00e57164.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389575">At the bow, an integrated side-opening garage provides ample space for a 6.3-metre tender and two JetSkis, leaving the stern completely unobstructed. A standout feature aft is the dramatic central staircase linking the main cockpit to the swim platform. Two curved side wings, sculpted like supercar doors, unfold to reveal a private beach club that can transform into a lounge on the water or a panoramic gym with sweeping sea views. Meanwhile, the sun loungers, seamlessly integrated into the transom, build upon a design concept seen on the Mangusta GranSport 38.With a volume of 499 GT and a beam of 9.6-metres, the new Mangusta GranSport 50 yacht is propelled by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MTU (Company)">MTU</a> engines, giving her a cruising speed of 16 knots and a top speed of 20 knots.“Today, true luxury means space flexibility, brightness, and freedom - this yacht embodies them all,” concluded Alberto.

The 40P’s beach club and glass-fronted pool is a true focal point for the yacht, rather than just an amenity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389347/image/large-607379235c0c2482d1164d64f94239cd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389347"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389344/image/large-e9eb38ed49b78e661e103fc350a96a65.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389344"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389346/image/large-9b9ce6985838b2b2be50d542b7b02424.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389346">Inside, 40P pushes the design into superyacht territory, with a larger open-plan layout and increased spatial separation, particularly in the owner’s suite and upper deck lounges. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389352/image/large-a53a8b06c6f317128fbdec8f0c988d6f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389352"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389348/image/large-c59036fdbc74573105b09b2a804b7421.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389348"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389355/image/large-d4801d616fbbfcc4d90009e256f1d297.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389355">In terms of performance, both models are powered by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> engines.

Built in composite at the Viareggio facility, she is conceived as Sport Utility Yacht, combining performance, volume and long-range capability with a focus on onboard comfort.The core design of the Mangusta GranSport 38 features a dual asymmetrical configuration developed across two decks. Her main deck has one walkway on her port-side, while the starboard side has been absorbed into the interior, enlarging her main saloon. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/385650/image/large-b0507cb5e73803d2e866636f97339172.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/385650">On the upper deck, the arrangement is reversed, with a single walkway to starboard increasing usable interior volume to port.

Furthermore, the sun deck of the Mangusta GranSport 38 yacht has been conceived as a private observation space, offering extended sea views. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/385648/image/large-476dc9f6a9833f7aa71ac6d02d649c13.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/385648">Her beach club spans two levels, with a staircase from the main deck cockpit leading down to her swim platform, alongside fold-down side wings and a transformer platform to extend the usable area at anchor. Her garage can be accessed from the side and accommodates a tender of up to 5.5 metres alongside two Jet Skis.In terms of performance, the Mangusta GranSport 38 yacht is powered by four <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> D13 1,000 horsepower engines, paired with IPS pods under the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> IPS Professional platform.

Throughout his career, Adam has advised clients on significant yacht transactions, new build projects and refits, building long-standing client relationships and helping drive the commercial success of some of the industry's most respected brands. Widely respected for his discretion, strategic insight and meticulous execution, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> reflects his belief that exceptional client outcomes are achieved through independent advice and deep market understanding.Joining him as Founding Executive and CCO is Kurt Fraser, a strategist, creative leader and international business executive whose career spans more than 25 years across the superyacht, luxury lifestyle, resort development and marina sectors. Throughout his career, Kurt has driven business transformation and contributed to the growth and commercial success of a number of leading yachting brands. He believes <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a>'s performance-driven model is uniquely aligned with the expectations of both established yacht clients and a new generation of owners seeking greater transparency, responsiveness and long-term value.While the launch of independent brokerage houses is not uncommon within the superyacht sector, the pairing of Adam and Kurt brings together two distinctly complementary areas of expertise. Combining deep brokerage experience with proven strategic, creative and commercial leadership, the duo have built a business founded on both reputation and capability.Their partnership reflects a broader shift within the industry, where clients increasingly seek the agility, transparency and personalised approach often associated with boutique brokerage houses, without sacrificing the expertise and international reach traditionally offered by larger organisations. In this respect, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> blends established industry knowledge with a more modern, insightful and adaptable approach to yacht brokerage.A strategic advisory approachAccording to the Founding team, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> has been established in response to increasing fragmentation across the yachting experience, with clients often relying on multiple service providers and disconnected sources of information, or larger organisations whose structures can inhibit a truly performance-driven approach.Rather than concentrating solely on transactional brokerage activity, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> will work closely with clients to develop personalised yachting strategies that reflect their lifestyle objectives and long-term aspirations.

"However, clients today require more than access and execution. Better insight and better intelligence leads to better decisions and better experiences. This is the role <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a> intends to fill as trusted partners to our clients.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8896" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Matterhorn Yachts (Company)">Matterhorn</a>’s approach combines traditional brokerage expertise with strategic advisory and a deeper understanding of the factors that influence successful outcomes. The Founders believe that clients increasingly benefit from objective guidance, greater market visibility and a more integrated approach to decision-making. By bringing these elements together, the company aims to support clients across the full spectrum of yachting activities, from charter and acquisition through to ownership, management and eventual disposition.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a>&nbsp;is both a leader in the field of waterjet technology and a point of reference for serial production tenders. Active across the military, commercial, and superyacht sectors, the Italian brand is now applying its propulsion and manufacturing know-how to the specialist market for limousine tenders.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396631/image/large-062ebf001bce4c2cc3c7a9d7b4ad2e91.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396631">The small town of Albairate in landlocked Lombardy might seem a strange place for a boatbuilder to set up shop, but it is closely linked to the brand’s origins in one of Italy’s richest agricultural regions. Luigi Castoldi was a pioneering engineer in the agricultural machinery sector through his company BCS, which is still extant today. He began exploring waterjet propulsion – still a novelty in the early 1960s – because boats were damaging their propellers on the shallow bottom of the nearby River Ticino.&nbsp;After importing a waterjet drive, he set about re-engineering it to create a more durable and effective design. His first mass-produced <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a> waterjet, model Jet 05, made its debut at the 1969 Genoa Boat Show. Since then, over 40,000 <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a> waterjets have been delivered around the world, from the compact 224 unit up to the mighty 600 HCT drive that can support installed power of up to 2,700 horsepower.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396632/image/large-4d83f3db58d65cf02a38baa8d387c061.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396632">Today, the company is still family-owned under the directorship of Giacomo Castoldi, Luigi’s grandson, who with his father Franco spearheaded the company’s diversification into the tender market with its own range of diesel-powered jet tenders. The first model, the JT 18 Pro in 1998, served as the blueprint for the current range, from the entry-level Jet Tender 14 up to the 10.5-metre Jet Tender 34. The latter also provides the technical platform for the Jet Tender 34 Limo, the company’s first venture into the limousine market.Why waterjetsWaterjet propulsion for superyacht tenders offers several advantages over traditional propeller-based systems. These include enhanced manoeuvrability, higher efficiency and durability, lower noise and vibration, and the reversing bucket can ‘crash stop’ a boat in less than twice its own length. But arguably the most critical feature – as Luigi Castoldi was quick to realise – is shallow draft.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396635/image/large-accb3204fb1c42a0f2bfa16fdfac9f5c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396635">“Jet tenders can drive right up to a beach, and most of our models are equipped with bow ramps as standard,” says Giacomo Castoldi. “Combined with a folding console, low draft also means they occupy less vertical space inside the tender garage, while the lack of exposed propeller blades reduces the potential for injury to swimmers, divers, or marine life.”Over the years, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a> has finessed its waterjet technology. Unlike other systems requiring external gearboxes, all <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a> waterjets except the entry-level Turbodrive 224 DD have integrated gearboxes. This results in a more compact overall footprint, which means more space for passengers and luggage storage, and simplifies the installation process while reducing the potential for errors or rework. They are also equipped with a patented anti-clogging system that enhances the waterjet’s reliability in challenging conditions. The Clear-Duct unclogging system works by reversing the direction of the impeller and simultaneously opening the protective intake grid to flush out any debris that may have accumulated.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396660/image/large-44d8926e35b1304d60e5cdbcb14c3137.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396660"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a>’s latest waterjet drives that carry the HCT acronym have been redesigned to offer a 12% increase in performance compared to previous iterations. Advancements in impeller design, a pre-stator vane system, and an updated post-impeller stator work together to improve the flow of water through the system, reduce cavitation, and ultimately deliver more thrust combined with lower fuel consumption.&nbsp;“These enhancements are largely thanks to investment in CFD analysis,” says Giacomo, “Combining fluid dynamics with our own practical engineering know-how has generated a lot of new ideas."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396615/image/large-28e2be0f5dedca48b4f2f92405172d02.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396615">Total control<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a> also produces its own control systems, from simple mechanical options to the sophisticated ACES system developed in collaboration with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7877" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Xenta (Company)">Xenta</a>. Powered by a 32-bit embedded processor and utilising a proprietary CAN bus network protocol, the ACES system delivers precision control of engine RPM, waterjet steering nozzles and reversing buckets when transitioning between docking and cruising modes. Additional functions include dynamic positioning and smart anchoring, which simulates mechanical anchoring by swinging around a virtual GPS point. Adaptive steering logic can even provide ‘propeller mode,’ which recognises when the vessel is in reverse to simulate conventional propeller behaviour – a useful feature for operators transitioning to waterjets.To maintain quality control, most of the waterjet components are machined in-house, an exception being the Duplex stainless-steel impellers that rely on precision investment casting technology. With regard to tender production, the whole process – from the 3D design, hull lamination and tube fabrication to the hydraulic and electrical systems – is carried out internally before final testing in its own water basin in front of the factory.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396658/image/large-b3c15147d7d49ce31a9b749e8a305ff2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396658">When <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A.

Material finishes can also be tailored to suit individual preferences."This project represents a new chapter for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a> that expands our offerings to new markets, while maintaining the commitment to innovation, quality, and luxury we are known for,” says Giacomo. “The opportunity arose to enter the limousine tender market with a semi-serial product that embodies our construction philosophy of creating optimised vessels rather than one-offs.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396625/image/large-24bbf67840c4bba049f3423e568ddbaa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396625">“In practical terms, we estimate that our serial-produced limousine tenders are priced at least 35% lower than equivalent full-custom examples,” adds <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a>’s commercial director Luca Taccani, “without sacrificing the luxurious finish or technical sophistication that clients expect.”In addition to the four limo tenders, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a> is also supplying the cruise ships with two customised Jet Tender 28 SV units. The ‘SV’ stands for ‘Support Vessel,’ and the model is specifically designed to work in tandem with the limousine tenders, with an enhanced bow sun-pad, extensive storage, pantry, and premium features like a T-top.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396622/image/large-6c33afd5ceeb462bb96cd2592a9fa250.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396622">The flywheel effect&nbsp;As <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a> has expanded its offerings and capabilities, its workforce has grown accordingly and is now nearing 100 direct employees. In terms of business performance, the company has seen consistent growth, especially over the past two years since Luca Taccani joined the company. Annual turnover is currently distributed fairly equally across the waterjet and tender markets (50% and 40% respectively) with the remainder from spare parts and commissioning activities.&nbsp;Although <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a> builds its tenders in series, each sale is essentially a one-off transaction with an end client. Its propulsion products, on the other hand, can generate recurring clients that expect reliable and ongoing service. Naval procurement involving multiple waterjet units is an expanding sector for the company, for example. To meet this demand, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a> has made a deliberate effort to ensure the availability of components, stocking spare parts for older models well beyond customary timelines – often for more than ten years.“We’ve focused strongly on spare parts and after-sales support with dedicated back-office staff for service management,” says Luca Taccani. “This long-term outlook not only boosts customer loyalty but has also proven financially advantageous. As raw material costs have risen sharply, having a ready stock of components means we’ve been able to avoid significant cost increases.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a>’s trajectory over the past few years reflects a competitive company that is expanding its product range while also refining its operational efficiency and service capabilities. By focusing on technical innovation and long-term service, it has effectively created a “flywheel” effect, whereby small but consistent wins build momentum over time in a self-sustaining cycle of growth. Moreover, the brand’s entry into the limo tender market aims to demonstrate how serial production methodologies, when combined with proprietary propulsion and rigorous quality control, can challenge the prevailing bespoke approach.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396659/image/large-9f4ecad812d4f5c94c3664909275b1d8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396659">

Justin Ratcliffe delves deep into the vision and mission of Paolo Vitelli in this not-to-be-missed exclusive interview.

Video: Onboard 37m Goga with Paolo and Giovanna Vitelli of Azimut-Benetti Group

In July <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> hosted a launch party for the first 36.9-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> B.Yond superyacht; <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9059" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Goga36.9m (121'1&quot;)Benetti SpA2022">Goga</a>. The hybrid B.Yond 37M is the first of the B.Yond 37M series to be launched and the shipyard created a spectacular evening around her debut, reporting her to be their greenest model yet. Now the shipyard has unveiled the superyacht's interiors, which are the work of her builder, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> architect Mauro Izzo.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/239225/image/large-5bc6c45a218ddfe22eeb250860ea9416.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/239225">The model, which has been designed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/254" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Stefano Righini Design (Company)">Stefano Righini Design</a>, was inspired by the vision of Paolo Vitelli, Founder and President of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6046" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut-Benetti Group (Company)">Azimut|Benetti Group</a>, who wanted a yacht that spread across four decks that had a contemporary yet powerful aesthetic. Instead of fibreglass, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> made an unusual choice for a boat this size and opted for a return to steel. A step back in time to the 1950s, when <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> pioneered the introduction of metal in place of wood. For many markets, steel is a symbol of durability and solidity, which are quintessential features of a Voyager designed for long cruises.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/239239/image/large-6d45a02be9ff89ac7f6858f6f28f0afe.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/239239"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/239237/image/large-5bccc25adfacbbefe68aea8eef104b0e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/239237"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/239269/image/large-fa96229f2f005a2214c5826e8bf72a64.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/239269"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/9059" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Goga36.9m (121'1&quot;)Benetti SpA2022">Goga</a> features a clever interior layout, closer to that of a 50-metre yacht that a 37-metre vessel, fully exploiting the 395 GT of volume. The yacht's lower deck is reserved for the crew, who are accommodated between four cabins, a captains suite and a possible fifth cabin. The service areas are also located on this deck, with a walk-in wine cellar and cold room. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/239238/image/large-3902eee9ac4ec45386819b4846f4749b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/239238">The yacht's main deck is dedicated to the guests, &nbsp;with four staterooms entered from a panoramic lounge featuring generous windows, which <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> calls the Playroom, and an open-air relaxation area. The upper deck features an open living area from the bow to the stern, with 360-degree ocean views, with a sunbathing area and Jacuzzi to the bow. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/239264/image/large-7f89fc8e4c257adf335a8c04c2724bb9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/239264"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/239256/image/large-630b6506d8afc3deb82321af44474d11.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/239256"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/239252/image/large-cdf616d86226d98dcb32bf5f468d8304.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/239252">The bridge deck is dedicated to the owner's suite, which has a spacious bathroom, a dressing room, a refined study area with a desk, and a private terrace aft furnished with sun beds and a lounge area from which to enjoy the sea view. Forward, the Wheelhouse contains the helm station and a surveillance room for the captain during long voyages. This deck can also be converted into a veranda, should the owner wish. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/239233/image/large-70e1ade58752176fdf689bd7350525c4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/239233"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/239272/image/large-2b4c9ddac88b93f27321cafc9cccc879.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/239272"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/239270/image/large-86863c42dbdf1d48dbeb8c52caaecb26.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/239270">Finally the sundeck has a dining area, with pantry, table and sunbathing area. In addition to this impressive space, the yacht has a large garage, home to &nbsp;two jet skis, a 6.5-meter tender for the owner and a rescue boat. At water level, the beach area opens out in the stern to provide a generous sunbathing area and, inside, a wellness zone complete with sauna, steam shower and a toy room with Technogym equipment for training.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/239263/image/large-d4601c12f16b5856ef4280c6e33271c9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/239263"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/239267/image/large-d28adb6947564cf5c2fb28fdf425cad8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/239267">The innovative E-Mode Hybrid system by Siemens Energy makes it possible to optimise onboard energy consumption according to specific usage profiles, which translates into unprecedented CO2 and NOx emissions reductions for a yacht in this category. She also has an impressive range of 8,200 nautical miles at 9 knots in Eco Transfer mode, with the two diesel-generators switched off and only one propulsion engine running, which reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 16% and NOx emissions by up to 80% compared with traditional propulsion systems.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/239220/image/large-59effa06e00fd05d272fc22108c6b8ec.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/239220">
