Launched at the start of 2015, the 60 metre Amels superyacht Madame Kate has been turning heads around the Mediterranean this past summer season. Even though she follows in the footsteps of Event, the first Amels Limited Editions 199, the Tim Heywood-designed Madame Kate features a host of unique on board and design features that sets her apart from her 60 metre sister.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/157453/image/large-d470cf798344163ce7756ebc4989e4d6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157453" class="legacy">A visit to the Amels shipyard in 2013 left the owner in little doubt as to where his next yacht will be coming from. Just over two years later the yard delivered Madame Kate, ready for a summer season of cruising in the Mediterranean. Her summer season came to a spectacular end at the Monaco Yacht Show in September where she stood out amongst a crowd of other new yachts, and even attracted a special visit from His Serene Highness Prince Albert II himself.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/157454/image/large-dc9f79fb1061f44d6cd249719b9df9d7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157454" class="legacy">Madame Kate’s elegant yet cutting exterior is dressed in a unique non-metallic pearlescent white paint finish. Her timeless design and cleverly laid-out deck spaces is only one side to this capable and sea worthy vessel. She offers the ultimate in luxury and privacy thanks to a well developed platform that presents a near absence of noise and vibrations around the yacht.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/157455/image/large-53334b25192b35c8d72dd7ed8e49b053.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157455" class="legacy">A comfortable sun deck salon offers a peaceful location for guests to unwind or experience a fun filled games evening with a view. During the day, this deck becomes the ultimate chill spot on board with a large Jacuzzi and intimate dining area, perfectly suited for informal lunches or sundown drinks.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/157456/image/large-1853d34da636edd8d1430ec67c4ebe26.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157456" class="legacy"><img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/157457/image/large-8b852db988db6b76a27cde496fba312d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157457" class="legacy">One 8 metre limo tender and another 6 metre MOB tender is launched through two upward opening doors on either side forward in the hull. Together with these, Madame Kate hosts a range of fun watertoys including a pair of waverunners. A touch and go heli pad is located on the sleek foredeck, and offers endless cruising and transfer possibilities to her owners and guests.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/157458/image/large-6a7563efff55ba1fb42999b864c924c1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157458" class="legacy"><img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/157459/image/large-133db8aca986ef457c4584c1ed47c6f5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157459" class="legacy">Inside, Laura Sessa was chosen by the owners to style their interior spaces; a decision that won them the Interior Design Award at the Monaco Yacht Show in September. “The Owners wanted the level of quality, the timeless and classic high gloss,”&nbsp;she explains, “but with a very fresh influence of their native Brazil with its vibrant colours, movement and joy of life.”<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/157460/image/large-0baaf0d5f9f363583734a41c86c1408e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157460" class="legacy"><img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/157461/image/large-671c9da09fca38fec8537fef2b81ca1e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157461" class="legacy">The option to customise the interior layout, paired with their love of food, had the owners opt for a galley on main deck, right beside the dining area. “They wanted to put the art of making fine cuisine back into the centre of the boat,” comments the Owner’s Representative, Benoit Faure, from Yachting Concept.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/157462/image/large-a9c82028a0ba502886f2cf233b824135.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157462" class="legacy"><img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/157463/image/large-6ccfc56e175babaa23b81c1b97614f8c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157463" class="legacy">She realized their request for a high quality, timelss and classic interior through the use of neutral bases that are accentuated with textures, patterns and welcoming bright furniture and artwork. Surfaces are finished in a sparkling high gloss with the addition of polished elements as well.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/157464/image/large-bc4d6c2b1ef4823423a2a8acaaf0af74.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157464" class="legacy">Madame Kate&nbsp;accommodates 12 guests in absolute luxury. The full beam stateroom, located forward on main deck, has been decorated with a contemporary mix of colours and patterns while creating a homely environment where the owners can relax with a stunning view on either side through the four enormous portholes (the largest size of which allowed by class regulations).<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/157465/image/large-835121b2372f264faa2d9b6982cb18c5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157465" class="legacy"><img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/157466/image/large-36ae75e2e9f56ee48db2e5542b360f6a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157466" class="legacy">Two further VIP guest suites are found on bridge deck, with another three guest staterooms placed on the lower deck, each decorated in a unique colour scheme whilst retaining the same level of comfort and luxury.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/157467/image/large-4adf3b587175c4640d62ad7faf56342a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157467" class="legacy"><img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/157468/image/large-f93cb169ed645d6f4aa7697de5e2f80b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157468" class="legacy">Madame Kate is fitted with two Caterpillar 3512C engines developing 1500 kW each. They allow her to reach a top speed of 16.5 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 13 knots.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/157469/image/large-56dcf8c6292d7e0d016b27dc8466ceae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157469" class="legacy">To develop Madame Kate's platform, Amels' naval architects benefitted from parent company Damen's extensive research and innovation facilities. Some of the innovative technical features include the introduction of Amels’ Heat Recovery System that uses residual energy from the engines to heat systems such as the Jacuzzi and the efficient running of the HVAC system.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/157470/image/large-8428ecc7da8897fdf32f3ba0b06f9998.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157470" class="legacy">“The Owner is absolutely delighted with Madame Kate,” noted Faure. “Of course, the Tim Heywood design is very eye-catching and generates a lot of attention. But the Owner has also remarked on the level of quality on board, which is exactly the giant leap up that he wanted."<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" scrolling="no" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BdSJjxtzli8" width="560" class="fr-draggable"></iframe>

Notably, the yacht features a dedicated wellness room equipped with modern fitness equipment, allowing guests to maintain their routines while cruising.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396070/image/large-df93e4e7697381b7337d41a481df7052.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396070" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396058/image/large-4630ccbaeb53f63ebba42c6816a4a61b.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396058" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396062/image/large-02260e7efe92fa0f69891536199578d6.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396062"> Stepping inside, her interior has been tailored beyond the standard Oasis 40M arrangement.

Functional elements are built into the space, with leather pockets and hidden storage beneath the cushions and a silk and wool rug below to mimic the branching forms of a river delta.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395269/image/large-33097a9ca9e6c34c4cc32279d71d40ee.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395269"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395241/image/large-4284b0e1b10280faac39b4b151cfb27c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395241">“It was important to us that every material told a story,” added Luca Boldrini. “Nothing is purely decorative.

Dubbed the “madame office”, it’s a celebration of colour and individuality. Aviation blue features prominently across her &nbsp;leather desk accessories, the raffia wallpaper-lined bookcases and the detailing on the bespoke desk chair. The desk itself has been built from natural oak with hammered bronze detailing and hand-decorated bases. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395253/image/large-bb140479538c8a4506bae73017d24d93.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395253"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395254/image/large-5e793d7ef69f3518e71bbf21af8bf775.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395254">The space is framed by decorative panels embroidered with three-dimensional orchids, while the carpet below mimics the foam of waves crashing against the shore. “This room isn’t just about work,” said Muzio. “It’s a sanctuary that is elegant, feminine and energising.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395245/image/large-284ab752d07f0ad0aedb80dc91cdfcca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395245"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395243/image/large-f86c36352a28f0139a957f94c6f0d1c3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395243"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395247/image/large-b01f9c97658c14ef17097059b8255de7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395247">Further guest areas onboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Akula59.4m (194'11&quot;)Rossinavi2024">Akula</a> reflect the same attention to comfort and flexibility. One twin guest stateroom features a smart sliding bed system, allowing it to convert into a double room when required. Both beds are fully integrated into the interior architecture, with upholstered headboards and matching bedside tables.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395286/image/large-dd88e00906e3d7dc5f5879418c1db72c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395286"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395281/image/large-72fc08138f6fded2245fdd6e8d821c7b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395281"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395270/image/large-8bd1fa3fbdf82252566d09841b782a68.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395270">Materials again take centre stage, with wallpapered ceilings, leather accents and roman blinds made from raffia interwoven with metallic threads, which catch the sunlight during the day. The custom-designed carpet, made from wool and botanical silk, continues the theme of nature-inspired texture.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395255/image/large-c01523280fe4b28a5db6c425c8580ede.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395255"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395256/image/large-fbdd6477754a5f740cacecd1a01dc54b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395256"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395273/image/large-8f0a1e7f851f1eee23463a9f44c9f0fd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395273">Even the guest bathrooms have their own storyline. Here, Francesca Muzio has embraced the romance of travel with a design inspired by vintage steamer trunks, complete with &nbsp;bronze hardware, leather handles and cabinetry in warm oak and dark European maple. The washbasins are finished in Imperial Beige marble, further enhancing the refined yet &nbsp;tactile atmosphere.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395298/image/large-c4367103fda7023f8b0c6d1f6e5f9451.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395298"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395264/image/large-766f12a14112b6d835f5c5a8cef4c5e5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395264"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395280/image/large-a5c5a8bf1fa763df6378a380e7f2b4f3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395280">Beneath her refined interiors, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Akula59.4m (194'11&quot;)Rossinavi2024">Akula</a> remains a highly capable expedition yacht.

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.

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.

China eases cross-border travel rules for Hong Kong and Macau yacht owners

<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. (Company)">Castoldi</a> began production of jet tenders in the mid-90s, it decided from the start to take a platform-based approach with fixed hull forms designed around its own propulsion system. By standardising the production process, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2027" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Castoldi S.p.A. (Company)">Castoldi</a> ensures consistent quality while reducing unit costs through repeated tooling and manufacturing processes. Additionally, serial production provides opportunities for continuous optimisation, further enhancing the performance and quality of each new upgraded model. As the range evolved, customised interior materials, finishes and layouts have become the norm to meet the specific needs of individual clients without having to build costly and time-consuming one-offs.&nbsp;The company has applied exactly the same production philosophy to its new Jet Tender 34 Limo designed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/153" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nauta Yachts S.r.l.

While this approach allows for alignment with the mothership’s aesthetic, it often results in longer lead times, higher costs, and compromises in terms of performance and systems integration. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396633/image/large-bb3ca9a1c828124e6a74dc5b67525448.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396633"><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 entry into this market introduces a shift toward standardised, platform-based design, which allows for quicker production times and greater system optimisation, while still providing owners with a high degree of personalisation, particularly in the interior architecture. Two primary interior layouts are offered: one with all-seated configurations for maximum comfort, and another combining seating with a pantry and bathroom for longer transfers. 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">
