With help of a designer Andrea Cardinetti and his team, the Italian boatbuilder Kardis has recently presented its 16m Akuma 50 yacht tender. The Akuma 50 yacht is an amazing maxi RIB whose special feature is exclusiveness.

Maxi RIB Akuma 50 yacht’s sleek, sinuous and aerodynamic lines are emphasized in the aggressiveness of her deck shapes.

Kardis Akuma 50 yacht tender stands out from the crowd because of both the aesthetics of its design and the greater functionality of its inflatable structure. The tubes – as a construction essential as well as ornamental element of any inflatable design – are  positioned midship to aft to enhance the seaworthiness of the boat.

Akuma yacht’s deck is conceived to host guests in large numbers. The ample sunpad at aft is centrally walkable to the cockpit.

Cockpit space is well arranged with two comfortable, generous L-shaped sofas and tables, while a superb console, complete with ergonomical pilot and copilot seats, is adequately protected behind a curved windscreen.

Akuma 50 yacht tender’s high-end console technology easily meets with the demands of most exacting owners.

Attractively slanting forward, the roll bar emphasizes Akuma’s sports design. Forward, there is generous living space defined by fiberglass bulwarks on both sides to protect tubes internally. Harmoniously designed, tubes are set above the waterline forward to facilitate larger cabin space below deck.

Interiors live up to expectations: the design concept is aligned to a philosophy of luxury and exclusiveness. Designers opted for an open plan where the feeling of space is accentuated in the absence of partitions, except for private facilities and shower.

High quality finishes and laquers as well as a wise choice of the decor, individualizable to reflect clients’ requests, contribute to a soft, elegant atmosphere.

Also of a fundamental importance is the fact that powerful twin 750 HP Yanmar engines and Jolly surface drive propel luxury yacht Akuma 50 beyond 44 knots. A Yanmar-ZF joystick system is also an option to facilitate manoeuvring.
