The creativity in Italian mega yachts

Beautiful, large and powerful. Elegant, useful and usable. Long, tall and slim. Rich, luxurious and famous. These are just some of the adjectives to describe the world's most prestigious Italian yachts. Even though the Germans, Dutch and Americans know their business, those flying the Italian flag are often chosen above the others for their beautiful designs, for the taste in their choice of techniques and materials, and last but not least, because they carry the “signature” of brilliant designers. From Monaco to Cannes, among the stars of 2017 produced by the Italian yachting industry, there are brands that stand out for their creativity, innovation and, at times, boldness, but without going over the top, and which demonstrate that extra something, such as new design features, new materials or, simply, new ideas about privacy and usability of areas, as well as technological advances in on-board services for guest entertainment and, last but not least, marine “toys” included with the purchase, which are the essence of an industry that continues to grow and amaze the world. The person who chose, for example, the 48-metre Baglietto “Andiamo” had clear ideas on the classic style for the interiors. Omnipresent is African wood, which furnishes and enhances almost every area below deck. But it is on the highest deck of this yacht that the best is seen, which is at the top of its category in terms of length and, perhaps, area, probably beating many of the yachts in larger categories. The exquisite sun deck of “Andiamo” is some 140 square metres and is decorated like an open-air club with an area for eating, shaded by a rigid top and equipped with grill area and bar, large forward sun deck and infinity pool with waterfall. There are 340 square metres inside, not including the bridge, technical areas and areas for equipment, which have been decorated with an up-to-date style and embellished with exquisitely fine materials such as onyx and polished ebony. The choices on board the “Seven Sins“

by Sanlorenzo are very different. This yacht offers 5 decks of elegant luxury and was created in collaboration with Officina Italiana Design. The way it can be experienced is particularly appreciated as soon as the anchor is lowered, when, once the garage is emptied (by opening the aft door, the garage area is flooded to allow the tender to slip gracefully out), the lateral terraces open and a panel lowers down from overhead, completing the teak floor of the Beach Club and revealing the transparent bottom of the swimming pool above. In short, when the boat is stationary guests in the wonderful aft pool can look downwards at the sea through the transparent bottom, as if there was no barrier. These unique experiences are combined with the incredible liveability of the lowest deck. In this area, the terraces allow guests to enjoy the sun at sea level or provide an area for swimming inside, in the shade, in well ventilated area (or, alternatively, with the garage floor lifted up, a wonderfully large space). Even more different is the philosophy of the ISA “Sport 120“, a 37-metre yacht that provides a link between the old management and the new one, being the first product from Palumbo. Within its more contained size (compared to the above mega yachts), there is a distinctive balance between the large terraces over the sea, the cockpit and the fly bridge, which find their equivalent in the enormous, very bright internal salon and the spacious cabins. The interiors, which can be fully personalised, benefit from a clever use of volumes: the owner's cabin, for example, is on two levels, which allows the bow area of the main and lower deck to be used efficiently. A gem that is more unique than rare: aspects that amply demonstrate to the world a creative flair and uncommon design effort.
