The aluminium planing yacht is a return to the shipyard’s roots, celebrating speed, power and performance in a vessel which has a futuristic appearance penned by Francesco Paszkowski, who also created the interiors in collaboration with Margherita Casprini while Plana Design handled the naval architecture.

A transom door in the stern creates a large swim platform for lounging and sunbathing beside the water, while a side hatch behind allows for easy launch and retrieval of the water toys. The interiors feature a main salon with a dining area and a skylounge joined to the pilothouse on the upper deck, creating a second spacious social area with a cinema set-up. Alfresco dining and lounging options are placed on the upper deck aft, which also has sunbeds in addition to the foredeck.

The accommodation is designed for up to 10 guests over 5 en-suite cabins: 1 Master suite, 2 VIP staterooms, and 2 twin cabins.
