CHARTER VACATION IN THAILAND & MALAYSIA

Phuket, the largest island of Thailand’s west coast is the perfect reference and base point while on your Thai charter vacation in the Andaman Sea. It is similar in size to Singapore and is conveniently connected to mainland by two bridges.

Phuket Thailand

PHANG NGA BAY

One of a wonderful places to visit while chartering a yacht in Phuket is Phang Nga Bay, a national marine park and an area of beautiful unspoiled scenery. Sailing here is safe all year round and most yacht charterers spend two or three days exploring the towering limestone islands of Ko Phanak and Koh Hong with their many caves and ‘Hongs’ to discover.

Explorer yacht MONDO 45 project by Sergio Cutolo for Mondo Marine

September 28, 2012

Monaco Yacht Show 2012 has unveiled another exciting new project from the prestigious Mondo Marine shipyard located in Savona, Italy – the Mondo 45 Explorer Yacht. Featuring naval architecture and exterior design by the well known Engineer Sergio Cutolo, the new Explorer Yacht MONDO 45 Project boasts 45.05 metres in length, a beam of 8.80 metres as well as four spectacular decks. She is a combination between a working hull, an ocean research vessel, a cruising ship as well as a superyacht, with an exceptional exterior design and stylish interior.

Explorer Yacht MONDO 45 by Sergio Cutolo for Mondo Marine

At the heart of the new Mondo 45 superyacht project is an owner’s desire to experience the sea in any condition in full comfort. The project combines the formalism of yacht design and the iconographical elements of the explorer. An excellent quality of build is assured by the yard MONDO MARINE. The yard is noted for building the 50-metre expedition yacht TRIBU’, the first explorer vessel to obtain the Green Star certification from the Registro Italiano Navale (RINA) for yachts that minimise their environmental impact thanks to their latest generation plants and systems.

Mondo Marine explorer yacht MONDO 45 by Sergio Cutolo

The design philosophy is based on research into maximum functionality at sea and the desire to create a yacht that is perfect for living aboard during long voyages. The result is a mix between a working hull, an ocean research vessel, a cruising ship and a superyacht. The MONDO45 explorer measures 45.05 metres in length – to satisfy the port regulations for yachts below 50 metres – and is 8.80 metres abeam. The hull is in steel and the structure in aluminium.

Sergio Cutolo designed MONDO 45 superyacht for Mondo Marine

Mondo45 yacht is built over four decks and is capable of navigating in all seas and types of weather. She can reach a maximum speed of 15 knots and carry 80,000 litres of fuel, offering a range of 6,000 miles – a trip around the world with only three stops.

Luxuru expedition yacht Mondo 45 by Mondo Marine

The iconographic elements of the explorer, as stressed by Engineer Cutolo, have been respected and revised in a modern key to support the functional aspects. The first thing that strikes you about the motor yacht MONDO45 is her exterior profile. The dynamics of the volumes, inspired by work boats, have been smoothed down to an elegant and extremely refined form with a generous use of soft surfaces and continuity, with elements in stainless steel that soften the line of the windows.

Luxury superyacht MONDO 45 by Sergio Cutolo for Mondo Marine

The large stern, almost like a naval ship, evokes the drawbridge of a medieval castle – hostile and impenetrable when closed, made to resist the following waves, but which opens wide to offer hospitality when the boat is at anchor. There is a large stair that leads to the charms of the interior or allows the guests access to the sea.

Superyacht MONDO 45 by Sergio Cutolo for Mondo Marine

In the spacial relationship between the interior and exterior there are elements that make the project unique. Aboard there is everything you could possibly need to make an extremely comfortable trip around the world – large socialising areas, attention paid to the distribution of space and clever use of lighting aboard. All these elements define the vocation of the yacht as creating a comfortable and relaxed life aboard. MONDO45 yacht, in fact, has a series of large sliding glass doors that give continuity to the spaces, where interior and exterior space develop in harmony without other solutions to provide continuity.

Mondo45 Explorer - Jacuzzi at night

The large lounge on the main deck expands in a fascinating way thanks to semi-circular sliding doors that, at the stern, create continuity between the interior and the exterior areas on deck and the bathing platform.

Mondo 45 Explorer Yacht - Mondo Marine

Literally, the saloon looks our towards the sea and infinity, thanks to two large sliding doors and two terraces, one each side, which extend the space available to guests beyond the borders of the ship.

Detail of the Mondo 45 yacht by Sergio Cutolo for Mondo Marine

Even the different levels are planned in a perfectly structured way thanks to the large, symmetric external stairs that are transparent, almost aerial, and flank the large semi-circular doors, giving continuity, also visual, to the various levels of the exterior decks.

Mondo Marine Explorer Mondo 45 yacht - Design by Sergio Cutolo

The various decks are characterised in function of their destination. The main deck is the large beach, the enormous ‘beach club’ where the guests can interact, choosing to remain protected from the sun or not and with easy access to the water.

View from above at the Mondo 45 Yacht

The bridge deck is dedicated primarily to navigation. The bow zone has a comfortable divan and the stern area is dominated by the large swimming pool equipped with a current that allows you to swim even with the yacht under way.

The flybridge offers a comfortable lunch/dinner area protected by a large hard top, with a small pantry and a guest bathroom, essential but extremely practical.

Luxury expedition superyacht Mondo 45 by Sergio Cutolo for Mondo Marine

In the interior, are four large cabins below decks as well as a comfortable crew area. On the main deck, in addition to the salon, we find the bow area completely dedicated to the owner, with a gym, massage room, sauna, Turkish bath, cabin and large bathroom with a dressing room.

Mondo45 superyacht by Mondo Marine

The layout of this area is designed so that the owner can offer his guests the use of the spa area without losing his own privacy.

Interior of the Mondo Marine Explorer Yacht Mondo 45 by Sergio Cutolo

The bridge deck offers a sky lounge that opens to the stern onto the large swimming pool. To the bow, there is the bridge with a captain’s cabin.

Explorer Yacht Mondo 45 - Saloon

From a technical point of view, the hull is state of the art. It is the result of team work with the Krilov Institute of St. Petersburg which used advanced CFD methods and a series of tank tests. The result is a hull that offers a maximum speed of more than 15 knots and an extended cruising range at lower power.

Stabilisation is from two pairs of electric stabilisers that work when the yacht is at anchor. Propulsion is from twin propellers of large diameter and high performance.

Mondo Marine Mondo 45 Yacht Project by Sergio Cutolo

The yard is now involved in building of six new yachts for different owners.

The luxury yacht MONDO45 is the “stem cell” for the new MONDO yacht series which has been implemented by two new models: Expedition Yacht MONDO35 and the MONDO56 explorer.

New Mondo Marine M50 yacht project designed by HOT LAB

July 23, 2012

The well known Italian luxury yacht builder, Mondo Marine, is proud to present a preview of the new motor yacht M50 project, created in collaboration with the Milan based HOT LAB Yacht & Design studio. The M50 superyacht project is designed with three decks and a vast sun-deck.

Mondo Marine superyacht M50 project by Hor Lab Yacht & Design

THe innOvATive LOOk of the new semi-displacement yacht M50 draws on elements of Mondo Marine’s traditional styling heritage, adding innovative design solutions that give the yacht’s profile flowing, linear appeal.

Her MOsT eYe-cATcHing feature is the steep rake of the stern, which generates a forward visual thrust for the superstructure and creates a play of open and filled spaces, allowing natural light to bathe the main deck interiors.

Motor Yacht M50 project by Mondo Marine and Hot Lab

THe fuLL-HeigHT winDOws running most of the length of the main deck create exciting, light-filled interior spaces that allow a constant dialogue with the exterior.

Access TO THe M5O YAcHT is along the central walkway separating the two large sunpads – this leads to the aft cockpit, which offers a large sun area and lounge with spacious sofas evoking the generous spaces typical of an open design.

THe fOLD-DOwn BeAcH AreA of the new luxury yacht M50 project is uniquely large for a vessel of this weight. It conceals the access stairway and forms a striking yet warmly welcoming area. This stylistic solution creates an extended visual sweep that acts as a conceptual reflection of the classic external lines. Automobile-style details that are a typical feature of Hot Lab’s work include the design of the aft fairleads. The vessel’s starboard garage hosts a large tender.

Like ALL THe YArD’s MOre recenT YAcHTs, structural, hydrodynamic and technical design for this 50-metre semi-displacement superyacht M50 was handled by Mondo Marine Engineering.

The new M50 project will be presented during the next Monaco Yacht Show (MONDO MARINE stand, Quai des Etats-Unis QE6) and the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show (MONDO MARINE stand, Superyacht Builders 668).

Although she shares the same technical platform as the other six superyachts in the well-established 41m tri-deck series, OKKO yacht has a different superstructure and design, featuring extensive windows. Her external lines and interior decor are by architect Giorgio Vafiadis. The interior design concept is contemporary classic, with a liberating feeling of spaciousness throughout. This effect is created by a flowing distribution of spaces, a harmonious play of light and a skilful choice of materials. Frakè wood, with each individual sheet selected and positioned to create the best possible grain match, features extensively in the interiors, creating smooth, even colour. Super yacht OKKO’s three decks include a spacious main deck owner’s suite with a well-equipped relaxation area providing comfortable seating and a generous cloakroom. The saloon and dining area are situated to aft in a warm, welcoming open space where the wide windows open up a spectacular view.

There is also Pula, known for its numerous surviving ancient Roman buildings, such as the 1st century Amphitheatre. And of course no Croatian luxury yacht charter is complete without seeing Dubrovnik, listed on the UNESCO World Heritage list and one of the most beautiful Mediterranean cities.
