The 53m Ketos superyacht is the new tri-deck motor yacht by TEAM FOR DESIGN – ENRICO GOBBI for the well known Italian shipyard ROSSINAVI. Ketos 53M yacht was created exclusively for Rossinavi by the talented designer Enrico Gobbi, who is responsible for her stunning exterior as well as interior design. The mega yacht KETOS  follows the most known and ‘smaller’ KETOS 48M RPH Yacht, officially under construction at the Rossinavi shipyard in Voareggio.

Ketos 53m yacht has sporty lines and a light marine alloy hull and superstructure that ensure an excellent trim and superb performance. Its characteristic vertical windows (named by Enrico Gobbi ‘cathedral windows’) intercept the smooth lines of the vessel’s flanks making this magnificent yacht instantly recognizable to all.

Furthermore, the clean, sleek and stylish lines inspired by the purity of nature combine with hi-tech details worthy of an aircraft or a racing car console in the dynamic design of this highly original yacht. Motor Yacht Ketos is a true blend of size and agility, strength and elegance, power and pleasure, and is certainly worthy of its name (the word Kětos being the Ancient Greek term for the noblest of all marine mammals, the ‘whale’).

From the careful study of it’s exterior lines this tri-deck yacht encloses very spacious interior areas, larger than most m/y of the same length on the market. In fact, despite it’s sleekness, Ketos is finished to an impeccable standard of comfort: its bright, spacious and luxurious interiors ensure an ongoing contact with the sea and the sky.

The designer Enrico Gobbi pursued the intent to create a project without distinction between the design of exterior and interior spaces. The continuous dialogue between these is emphasised by the hydraulically operated platform in the Owner’s Suite and in the main salon. Most important the four vertical windows on both sides of the Owner’s Suite give great light inside and a splendid view over the sea.

The exterior layout of this yacht presents an innovative and spacious sunbridge area at the bow, much appreciated by many Owners because of the privacy it offers especially in the marine. In this area there is a double dinette for all guests, and a very large sunpad with a Spa Pool whirpool with glass front and scenic waterfall. This area also has coverage that provides shade to the dinette, a self bar, and two retractable televisions.

At stern, there’s a 15 sqm hydraulically operated platform for the access to sea, and inside the Owner may choose between the possibility to have a beach lounge/relax area or a private gym overlooking the sea. The interior layout of the superyacht Ketos 53m is most flexible, thanks to the careful study of all spaces and the possibility to choose between different possible solutions. On the main deck find space a spacious formal salon and a dining area, the main lobby with scenic stairway connecting all decks, and the Owner’s suite located forward. The very large area dedicated to the Owner is about 70 sqm and has been thought in various versions, it is characterized by the typical Ketos ‘cathedral windows’ and by the hydraulically operated platform which guarantees a breathless panorama of the sea.

On the upper deck just aft of the wheelhouse there is a more informal yet very large cinema salon with a bar, and on the exterior deck a dining area has been designed for all guests. The lower deck has been studied to host 12 guests in 4 guest cabins and 2 spacious VIP cabins. Last but not least the fly deck is spacious enough to have a flexible layout in which find place a formal dining table, a large bar, a comfortable lounge area, and a sun pad with a Spa Pool whirlpool.

Regarding the interior spaces, the style is characterized by a compromise between modern lines though never pushed to an extreme minimalism, together with precious materials that give to the interiors a superior quality of elegance and luxury. The main materials used are wengè wood, shiny lacquered wood, along with precious hand-sewed leather coverings, and very refined details in onyx. Some areas like the main lobby and dining area have elegant surfaces of backlit red onyx that create particular lighting atmospheres.
