A waterfall element connects these spaces, adding a subtle sense of character and refinement. This floating, intimate concept is reflected in the yacht’s name, Isola, conceived as a private island at sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365465/image/large-1aff946c2cc9e57ec01f87568bc933f1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365465"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365463/image/large-85312169e65e545b064e2d109d5f0bff.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365463">Inside, her main saloon spans nearly 50-square-metres and opens directly onto the beach club through large sliding glass walls reminiscent of Mediterranean villa arcades.

Four guest suites on the lower deck complete the arrangement, providing comfort and privacy for all onboard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365457/image/large-93d35013c059d22e7d7e5017f32a7b21.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365457">The C.Boat 100 Isola can be built either as a full-displacement steel version for long-range cruising or as an aluminium semi-displacement version for higher speeds.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365458/image/large-e888a2ca886dd5415cb9901f93d471f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365458">

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/375" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baglietto S.p.A. (Company)">Baglietto</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6869" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Meyer Davis (Company)">Meyer Davis</a> have unveiled the Vesta56 concept, named after the Roman goddess of hearth and home. According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/375" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baglietto S.p.A. (Company)">Baglietto</a>, the design resists the futurism often seen in modern yacht aesthetics, instead offering a space where luxury and a sense of belonging come together to create a deeply personal sanctuary.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/364317/image/large-5ffdff855e3c4afba704cca2cd1e7bf8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/364317">The creative partnership brings together the Italian shipyard with exterior design created by Venice-based designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1197" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Team for Design - Enrico Gobbi (Company)">Enrico Gobbi</a> and interiors crafted by the multidisciplinary studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6869" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Meyer Davis (Company)">Meyer Davis</a>. The design was recently unveiled in New York, marking the official launch of the project.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/364313/image/large-2a2883ecef37a7bf05ca8a46553d08ce.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/364313"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/364314/image/large-ec2d6f99704d1546958b1b58dbbfb28d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/364314">“We were inspired by the name Vesta56&nbsp;for its rich symbolism – the quiet strength of home, the comfort of sanctuary, and the enduring presence of spaces designed not just for living, but for feeling truly at home. Each material, curve, and proportion is imbued with intention to reflect that spirit,” commented Gray Davis, Co-Founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6869" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Meyer Davis (Company)">Meyer Davis</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/364312/image/large-6ca44d8e9e2ad4bffa2f84e61aabee7d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/364312"> The yacht’s slender exterior profile is shaped by aeronautical-inspired features that lend the silhouette a sense of dynamism and subtle tension. The designer made refined design choices such as ultra-thin overhangs on the aft deck that recall the wings of a jet, and uninterrupted glazing along the vessel’s full length to enhance this effect. The vision behind the design was to create a yacht defined by “lines in motion,” expressing a continuous sense of flow and energy, even while at anchor.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/364315/image/large-247a455bfdfe682df2749d6588628cee.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/364315">“Vesta56&nbsp;is the expression of our philosophy,” explained Fabio Ermetto, CCO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/375" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baglietto S.p.A.

The project brief requested large and comfortable exterior and interior areas, without compromising the aesthetics of the yacht. For this reason, dynamic and stretched lines were chosen to reach the perfect balance between generous volumes and an elegant, streamlined profile,” commented <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1197" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Team for Design - Enrico Gobbi (Company)">Enrico Gobbi</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/364319/image/large-02a350293200dca44b0337cb57ae304a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/364319">The interior reflects the cross-cultural design collaboration, blending Italian lyricism with New York sophistication. The concept embraces soft geometry and rich textures, brought to life through a material palette of travertine, raffia, cognac leather and dark anthracite finishes.Additionally, theVesta56&nbsp;concept incorporates key elements usually found on larger superyachts. Two standout features include a vast open foredeck reserved exclusively for the owner and an infinity pool seamlessly integrated into the aft platform.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/364316/image/large-eb2b2cd7f4b9d93dee1731a311fc5d2a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/364316">At the core of the design philosophy is a seamless connection between interior and exterior spaces. Key areas such as the main deck saloon, dining area and upper lounge are designed to foster connection and ease. Retractable glass windows dissolve the barrier between interior and sea, while custom built-ins and architectural lighting respond to the shifting daylight, echoing the rhythm of lived-in spaces. The owner’s suite and the main saloon are also outfitted with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/364321/image/large-398fccdff8b280bcc746c2410f4b660b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/364321">According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/375" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Baglietto S.p.A. (Company)">Baglietto</a>, the yacht was conceived not only for global exploration, but also to evoke the comfort and familiarity of home. “Embracing organic form, personal layers and lived-in elegance, we designed the yacht to age gracefully, accumulating stories as it travels,” concluded Will Meyer, Co-Founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6869" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Meyer Davis (Company)">Meyer Davis</a>. Cabinetry, furnishings and circulation all speak to function made poetic. The result is a vessel that doesn’t just move - it becomes. It welcomes. With Vesta56, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6869" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Meyer Davis (Company)">Meyer Davis</a> leaves a lasting mark - not through spectacle, but through sanctuary.

Milan-based studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta Design</a> has unveiled Project Velor, a 75-metre superyacht concept that “places the quality of the human experience at the heart of its design.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363577/image/large-3362695915409eb2f1e0f51b797e0208.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363577">According to the studio, Project&nbsp;Velor embodies a forward-thinking approach to spatial architecture and life at sea. Despite having only four decks, she offers the comfort and versatility of a five-deck vessel, thanks to a layout that optimises volume and circulation while balancing form and function. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363585/image/large-b2cf9d28c6917c27dfbd4a2ff7aee088.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363585">At a volume of 1,700 GT, the design features expansive open decks, see-through platforms and grand architectural staircases that blur the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. These elements highlight the concept’s visual openness, allowing light and wind to flow freely and reinforcing a strong connection to the sea. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363628/image/large-f2454d2ec5f390724ae6704fd2f59f25.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363628">Project Velor’s exterior identity is marked by soft curves and crisp lines. Inside, her interiors are accentuated by a warm palette of natural teak and a thoughtful mix of geometric and organic forms. The vessel’s interiors are adaptable to all weather conditions throughout the day. From sea-facing areas to communal space and quiet hideaways, each space is carefully crafted with purpose.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363583/image/large-e9065f258380ef2fb8fad91cb363d55a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363583">“One of the defining qualities of Project Velor is its flexibility,” commented Guido Valtorta, Director at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta Design</a>. “Every element of the design is intended to suit the many ways owners use their yachts - whether for family time, entertaining or quiet escape.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363581/image/large-d1dd9be664b37adf4d80835b978075f6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363581">At the core of the design’s spatial innovation is a single-tier engine room, developed in collaboration with naval architect Francesco Rogantin of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5926" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Name Studio (Company)">Studio Names</a>. By relocating it to the under-lower deck, the yacht achieves a more spacious and efficient internal layout. <img src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/363586/image/large-1e0edda5d7c1e8a28a187d60344e20c6.jpg?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=AKIA52TLVJASOPFTPHWY%2F20250618%2Feu-west-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-Date=20250618T130044Z&amp;X-Amz-Expires=900&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=93ebd43b17721eeb243f4d55918673b69cfe0c3f58783a79e55344b3a95546e6" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363586">“It is about eight years we work on this technical solution and the result, on this project, is a multi-functional lounge suited for yoga, wellness, social gatherings, or peaceful solitude - all with uninterrupted views of the sea,” explained Martino Majno, Director at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta Design</a>.&nbsp;One of the yacht’s distinctive flexible spaces is its open-air beach club or “water patio,” a bold alternative to traditional enclosed lounges or stepped terraces. Positioned aft on the lower deck, this area offers a refined entry point for guests arriving from the sea. Folding hull platforms on either side provide direct access to a multi-purpose space that can be fully open or enclosed, thanks to sliding glass panels that disappear from view when retracted. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363579/image/large-7a034ab1c0fe8590124a254b89487ac3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363579">Moreover, the aft platforms are outfitted with decks that appear to dissolve at their edges. This effect is enhanced by the slatted “brise-soleil” overhang system which casts shifting shadows and adds a sense of depth. The water patio transitions naturally into a dedicated spa and wellness zone, gently guiding guests toward the quiet sanctuary of the stateroom area. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363629/image/large-ebe366374b222879a26eec020c231725.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363629">Further examples of the yacht’s flexibility include the forward upper deck and the sundeck. These areas can serve as either private owner retreats or shared social zones. The sundeck is a multifunctional, convertible space design. It features a kid’s nest that can transform to suit different activities, from relaxing in the pool and lounging on cushions to peaceful stargazing under the night sky. &nbsp;In terms of performance, Project Velor is powered by a flexible diesel-electric propulsion system, comprising four generators, two rated at 1,000 kilowatts and two at 500 kilowatts. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363584/image/large-34991b148d0f6c6947a9721210b5baaa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363584">“At its core, this project is the manifesto of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l. (Company)">Nauta’s</a> calligraphy and of its application on a megayacht, incorporating several aspects of its design vision and identity: from the seamless inside-outside connection to the immersive blend with the natural environment achieved through a thoughtful use of clean, horizontal lines; from the meticulous attention to detail to &nbsp;the harmonious balance of forms, volumes and stylistic elements,” concluded <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l.

This solid foundation allows designers to fully explore their creative vision while ensuring the concept can realistically be built.Aether takes its name from ancient Greek mythology, referring to the clear upper air the gods breathed. According to Ira Petromanolaki, the concept is rooted in the ethereal, aiming to evoke a sense of purity, balance and harmony both visually and experientially.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363104/image/large-21c2ad15181896ca978abc72f089afdc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363104">Geometry plays a central role in the design narrative. Inspired by the triangle as a symbol of equilibrium, Aether’s lines converge toward a notional vanishing point beyond the visible plane, suggesting infinite continuity. “We are referring to the concept of convergence in a fictional or imaginary space, as happens in more advanced geometry,” added Petromanolaki. “The lines seem to meet at a point that is impossible to see or pinpoint in our common plane, in the Aether.”The result is a sleek, sculptural form with flowing lines and a strong sense of motion. The yacht has been envisioned for owners who value exploration, elegance and timeless luxury. Aether is designed to be a personal sanctuary at sea for entertaining, unwinding, or connecting with nature.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363105/image/large-a9e0c33e92fa075fd9501e81abe5430a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363105">“We craft an experience,” explained Petromanolaki. “A personal sanctuary on water that reflects the owner’s essence, allowing them to truly call it home.” This owner-centric philosophy lies at the core of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2679" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IP.YD (Company)">IPYD</a>’s design process, with an emphasis on collaboration and emotional connection. Every element, from layout to materials, is selected to support the owner’s lifestyle and enhance their onboard journey.While Aether remains a concept, its foundation on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a>’s Simply Custom technical platform ensures the design is ready to be built.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5964" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AMK Architecture & Design (Company)">AMK Architecture &amp; Design</a> has shared the details and renderings of the 95-metre superyacht concept The Real Beach. According to the design team, the concept “brings the shore aboard” as they reimagined a traditional beach club design into an immersive sensory and spatial experience interlacing the yacht and the sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/362128/image/large-7cbcf5d0762456c248c3696bdad6fd8b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/362128">The Real Beach’s design breaks away from traditional aft deck norms, transforming the sea into a coastal extension where sand, sea and sky are integrated into the yacht’s architecture. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/362130/image/large-ced3962d388ebf6e7783542dfa79371c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/362130">“We wanted to create something authentic,” explained the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5964" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AMK Architecture & Design (Company)">AMK</a> design team. “A space that doesn’t just look like a beach – it feels like one. The Real Beach is about reuniting the yacht with the world it sails in.”At the core of the design is a pool that draws inspiration from the natural curves of the shoreline. Surrounding the pool is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5964" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AMK Architecture & Design (Company)">AMK’s</a> signature “sand carpet,” a sustainable alternative to traditional teak decks that mimics the sensation of warm, sun-kissed dunes. Together, the pool’s gradual, organic shape and the “sand carpet” create the immersive feeling of wading gently into the sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/362129/image/large-fa8c62e959014a651b1748572960aa89.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/362129">Complementing the natural concept, an organically sculpted bar serves as the beach club’s central gathering point. The layout transitions effortlessly from day to night, enhanced by ambient lighting and lush greenery that welcome sea breezes and evoke a deep sense of tranquility. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/362132/image/large-f4a7ec6652d4b0c77fe7438aacd054b5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/362132">With an emphasis on slow living, sustainability is a guiding principle throughout the design. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5964" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AMK Architecture & Design (Company)">AMK</a> incorporated natural ventilation and low-impact materials such as reclaimed wood, natural stone and plant-based composites, which combine aesthetics with ecological integrity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/362131/image/large-5c12fbf092643adaeeace695d532f973.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/362131">“The Real Beach is a striking departure from convention – a holistic outdoor living experience that elevates the beach club into an architectural centerpiece and redefines luxury yachting for a new generation,” concluded <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5964" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AMK Architecture & Design (Company)">AMK</a>.&nbsp;

(Company)">WOSA</a> was rooted in his long-standing interest in refit and service strategies. During his years at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4876" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Group (Company)">Ferretti Group</a>, “I had always designed a strategy in refits and services,” he said, adding that while the group had successfully started expanding services in America, de Vivo felt there was significant room for growth in Europe as well.Reflecting on his experience, de Vivo noted that building a successful refit business within a shipyard is not as straightforward as it might seem. The processes “are very similar but have very different dynamics. From the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to the way you manage clients and production, it’s completely different to manage new-builds compared with refits.”After nearly eleven years at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4876" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ferretti Group (Company)">Ferretti</a>, de Vivo felt it was the right moment for change. “My time had come to change. I wanted to stay a bit more with the family and needed a new stimulus,” he stated. Through de Vivo’s multi-family office, which invests in ventures ranging from real estate to specialised businesses, an opportunity to invest in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wosa ltd. (Company)">WOSA</a> emerged. “I had the expertise, I know people in the industry and I knew Filippo because we worked together at Benetti sixteen years ago.”After reconnecting with Filippo Calcaterra, the next steps became clear. “Filippo was looking for someone to help bring the company to the next level and for financial backing. ”De Vivo had both. We had the financial backing, I really liked the industry and he is very knowledgeable, so we decided to invest and work together.”De Vivo’s family office now holds a 50 percent stake in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wosa ltd. (Company)">WOSA</a>, giving the company flexibility to combine its balance sheet strength with additional investment when the right opportunities arise. “This means we can think about growing where we need it most, like having infrastructure such as shipyards, to keep developing our refit business,” he said.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365659/image/large-0a428f097bb64d6beaf9f2978f4e0c0a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365659"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wosa ltd.

(Company)">WOSA</a> has also secured a long-term concession for a plot in Via Coppino. “We’ve received the go-ahead from the authorities in Italy to start demolishing the old building and build a shipyard of about 1,000 square metres so we can work on yachts up to 42-metres.”While <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wosa ltd. (Company)">WOSA</a> is expanding its ability to carry out refit projects in-house, de Vivo acknowledged that refits of larger yachts require bigger facilities with direct access to the water. “For bigger yachts, we use larger shipyards, especially <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5323" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Arpeca Shipyard (Company)">Arpeca</a> in Viareggio and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/895" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lusben Shipyard (Company)">Lusben</a> in Livorno and shipyards in the south of France,” he said. “This year we worked on over 30 refit projects including an 80-metre, a 77-metre and a 73-metre at other yards.

(Company)">WOSA</a> can handle more large projects on its own.”He noted that apart from its current sites in Viareggio, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wosa ltd. (Company)">WOSA</a> still depends on its network of trusted partners for larger projects. “We have to use other shipyards, which is fine because we have some of the best players in the industry at our doorstep. But if you want to keep growing, you cannot rely on others all the time. It would be good to have a balance between using others and doing it on our premises.”State of the refit marketLooking at the wider refit market, de Vivo believes that yacht refit has evolved considerably over the past few decades and is poised for further growth. “Refit has for many years already involved large-scale projects. You go from normal maintenance or five-year class renewals all the way up to completely rebuilding boats from the 1920s,” he remarked. “But I think it’s increasing because we’ve been producing a lot of yachts over 30 or 40-metres in the last 25 to 30 years, and now many of these are being bought second-hand and refitted rather than commissioning new-builds.”De Vivo elaborated: “Many people prefer to buy a second-hand yacht and spend the money to make it theirs, just like with houses. Not everyone buys new. You buy an existing house and change the look and feel to make it yours.”&nbsp;Sustainability is another area where de Vivo sees refit playing a key role. “Green solutions will be implemented more and more on existing yachts. It can be small things like better insulation to reduce energy needs, all the way through to bigger steps.” He is prepared for everything; “one day there will be alternative kinds of propulsion that can be retrofitted on yachts and superyachts built in the last 20 years.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365657/image/large-5edd2422b38fcbd57f6719aec50b079a.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365657">Future developmentsAside from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wosa ltd.

We have some developments that are already ongoing, but we cannot disclose exactly what they involve.”In addition, De Vivo has expansion plans that reach beyond Europe. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Wosa ltd.
