Written by Zuzana Bednarova

The Italian designer, Christian Grande , presents his latest 21-metre catamaran yacht “Picchio Boat” concept, representing the values of family life, respect for nature as well as an eulogy for slowness. Luxury yacht Picchio Boat provides a unique opportunity to take the necessary time to entirely enjoy a trip, for the trip’s sake; to enjoy the navigation and the surroundings, freely expressing one’s will and personal passions. These are the starting bases for the design of a new boat, developed with style and technical solutions dedicated to a quiet and contemplative lifestyle.

21m motor yacht Picchio Boat designed by Christian Grande

Christian Grande has chosen a 21 meter displacement catamaran yacht Picchio Boat to transform a dream into reality. A boat to cruise for extended periods in total comfort, fully appreciating the natural beauties and the intimacy inherent to sea travel. A sort of recreational island to be lived, without any need to show or boast.

The interiors Once inside, the generous size of the environment and its “recreational” intent is immediately visible. The central salon, complete with a bar and furnished with a very large sofa and dining area, also has a peculiar submarine observatory: a glass platform integrated and level with the salon deck and overlooking the sea between the hulls, giving a suggestive vision of the sea and its inhabitants, especially at night with the aid of specifically designed underwater spotlights.

From the salon to the lower deck, the vast living area potentiality of a catamaran is fully exploited: two spacious VIP cabins with private bathrooms, the galley, and a “children’s room” with foldaway berths and a super sofa, giving them a real and generous playground.

The piloting area, with another comfortable sofa, gives access to the master cabin, equipped with a glass floor under the bed, that seems to be floating on an illuminated sea. There is also a big wardrobe, vanity desks and an even bigger private bathroom with a double basin, shower, whirlpool bath and separate WC.

The character, the desires and the vision of the owner are fully expressed in the final product. Indeed the whole luxury yacht Picchio Boat, despite her generous dimensions, is discreet and gentle, recreational and respectful of the natural environment.

The colors are respectful and gentle too: bronze, metallic champagne and moka, borrowed from the cliffs, bays and creeks of the Mediterranean (it’s not new, for Christian Grande, to conceive his boats paying homage to the most beautiful coastal areas). The surfaces are soft and curvy, and all of them are related to the marine habitat. Natural and animal elements are evoked by the deck floor, fully covered with teak planks the color of sand and curved and bended like desert dunes, especially in the cockpit area, as if they were really shaped by wind and water.

Another homage to nature is represented by the bow, shaped around the central tunnel in a peculiar imitation of the mouth of a Manta.

Everything is created to be gentle both in form and in material, including the choice of pastel colours and continuous glass to lighten the profile of the deckhouse, and terminating with two vertical gardens on both sides of the external living area, one of them offering a relaxing hammock, another clear indication of the slow-life and slow-mind concept behind the whole project.

Christian Grande designed yacht Picchio Boat - Salon

A stern terrace bounded by glass, with smooth sofas and cushions, creates a real view of the sea, and is repeated on the fly bridge, with a lounge area and sunbathing mattresses on the forward balcony.

The vocation for outdoor life, as well as a desired link with the elements, is even more accentuated when looking at the interiors, where one can find several relaxing and contemplative spaces, intended to communicate the (new European) Owner’s love for cinema, literature and contemplation. A wide and continuous glass door, without visible frame elements, can become a mirror or a projection screen.

Even on the fly bridge, the usability and contemplative vocation is present, thanks to the bar area with a counter and stools, and to the big sofa. The equipment includes, of course, a wide pilot seat and a tender with an electric motor and dedicated crane.

Flexibility and versatility of usage are also guaranteed by the physical characteristics of the boat: large, with high bulwarks, with the possibility to mount a canvas awning to protect the host from sun or mist.

Catamaran yacht Picchio Boat - Owner's Cabin

The spectacular yacht Picchio Boat is equipped with 2x Volvo Penta IPS1200 propulsion systems to lessen her impact on the environment – thanks to Volvo Penta Ips -33% consumption compared to other engines – and to allow the crew and Owner to the easiest docking handling thanks to the joystick control.

Technical Details of the 21m catamaran yacht Picchio Boat designed by Christian Grande Length: 21.70 m / 71 ft Maximum beam: 9.60 m Cruise speed: 12 Kts Maximum speed: 19 Kts Range: 2500 miles Fuel capacity: 10.000 l Fresh water capacity: 1500 l Engines: 2x Volvo Penta IPS1200 Displacement: 50 tons

The latest and greatest yachts under 24 metres

Kate Lardy finds there is a top performer for every purpose in the under 24-metre market...

Otam 58 GTS

A client who asked for “total freedom of expression” is responsible for this new version of Otam’s popular 58 with the Gran Turismo Sport suffix. Named Bad Boys , the 19.2 metre has been restyled by Giuseppe Bagnardi of BG Design Firm with a semi-open deckhouse and more aerodynamic profile. The latter will come in handy when Bad Boys hits 55 knots, thanks to its twin 1,825hp MTUs coupled to ASD14 Arneson surface drives. See her in Cannes in September. otam.it

A new Italian shipyard, Filoyacht, is getting ready to unveil what it’s all about. In July, it launched a stylish 22.6 metre, which it will display at the Cannes and Genoa shows this autumn. Highlights include a foredeck swimming pool, a tender lift aft and fold-down wings that expand the cockpit to almost eight metres wide. Below deck are three guest cabins and separate crew quarters. Two MTUs of 1,630hp each, equipped with Top System surface drives, give a top speed of 46 knots. filoyacht.com

Ferretti Yachts 580

The latest model in Ferretti’s flybridge collection shows how the prolific Italian builder continually improves upon its signature values: comfort, modern luxury and well-being. On the 17.7-metre 580, large expanses of glass and ceiling heights of at least two metres give a sense of spaciousness and wide sea views. The highly customisable model offers two layouts for the lower deck and two decor schemes: warm classic and fresh contemporary. The first hull will launch in October for a debut at Düsseldorf in January 2023. ferretti-yachts.com

Ocean Eco 60 Coupé

This forward-thinking catamaran from ALVA Yachts is available with fully electric drives and comes fuel-cell ready. The new 18.4-metre Coupé version has an expansive coachroof with 80 square metres of solar cells. Battery banks store power from these and the generators, and run two 250kW electric motors, which give a top speed of 20 knots. Named for its transatlantic ability, the catamaran has a 2,800-nautical-mile range. The first is in build for avid divers who appreciate the 230 square metres of interior and exterior living space. alva-yachts.com

Libeccio 13.5 Cabin

A new version of Gozzi Mimì’s 13.5-metre flagship is its most spacious and liveable yet. The Naples shipyard has taken the classic planing gozzo and added heaps of comfort in its accommodation, which comprise three cabins – one double and two with twin berths – and two heads. Yanmar engines, each rated 370hp, give a top speed of 30 knots. The Genoa show in October will be the site of its world premiere. gozzimimi.it

It’s a delightful mix of old and new on Apreamare’s 14.7-metre flagship Gozzo, debuting in Cannes this autumn. The nostalgic design respects tradition, while comfort and performance are as modern as can be. The single-level deck has a walkaround path that encircles a sunbed, cockpit dining for 10 and bow seating, while a cabin below deck sleeps four to six. The variable deadrise deep-V hull accommodates a pair of 600hp Cummins diesels or 650hp Volvo Penta IPS drives, each allowing at least 30 knots of speed. apreamare.it

Nerea Yacht, which burst onto the yachting scene in early 2019 with the stylish NY24, is getting ready to reveal its next chapter at Cannes. Its 12-metre flagship exemplifies its “Made in Italy” ethos with an elegant design by ideaeITALIA that references automotive styling, finished in a superyacht-like herringbone teak and polished stainless steel. The highly customisable model allows prospective buyers to pick the layout, materials, finishes and engine room equipment, including a choice of inboards (gasoline or diesel) or outboards. A nifty feature is the innovative three-step COSMO aft platform, developed with Besenzoni, which lowers into the water or rises above it for diving or reaching the dock. nereayacht.com

wallypower58

This new Wally heralds the future, marking the start of a revamp of the entire range. It translates to pure lines and an enviable entertaining deck that’s open to the surroundings while protecting guests from the elements. Folding bulwarks add 25 square metres to the aft deck, and the lower deck, naturally lit from above, sleeps four for overnighting. The 17.3-metre boat tops out at between 36 and 38 knots, depending on which horsepower Volvo IPS drives are chosen. wally.com

Princess Yachts’ newest F-series yacht is indeed fit for royalty. As the British builder says, it offers “a new standard of refinement, featuring enriched upholstery and timber finishes and inlaid polished stainless steel”. The 17.7-metre flybridge yacht also has updated exterior styling with larger hull windows that brighten the three guest cabins below. Its 33-knot performance is courtesy of twin Volvo D13-900 engines. princessyachts.com

Absolute Yachts’ new 22.8-metre flagship relishes in the space it offers. Big windows and high ceilings characterise the interiors, while the decks – devoid of structural furniture – are versatile open-air lounges fringed by glass parapets for clear sea views. Full walkaround covered side decks are another bonus, as is the owner’s cabin forward on an intermediary deck between main and lower decks. See its debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September and at Fort Lauderdale in October. absoluteyachts.com

Squadron 58

There are a few firsts for Fairline in this new 17.7-metre model. Most notable is the builder’s foray into beach club living: the cockpit and aft platform transform into a lounge by the sea with fold-down balconies to port and starboard; there is flexible and modular cockpit seating, and a glass transom for views aft; and there’s also an innovative hi-lo platform that can both hold the tender and double in length for sun loungers. The first hull will splash in November for a January 2023 debut at Düsseldorf. fairline.com

Prestige 690

French yacht company Prestige is adding a sparkle to its brand with a newly inked partnership with Swarovski. Superyacht designers are very familiar with the Austrian brand’s custom lighting elements and speciality wall panels, seen on many of the world’s yachts. Now a limited-edition 21.5-metre Prestige 690 flybridge yacht incorporates subtle and elegant crystal elements in its interior. Custom bejewelled panels, which on larger walls such as in the owner’s cabin, alternate with grey grooved oak and mirrors, enhance guest spaces on both main and lower decks. The goal is to create a sensory experience and a modern luxurious home at sea. prestige-yachts.com

CL Yachts will introduce the newest member of its CLB line at the Newport International Boat Show in September. As the smallest in the line, the 19.7-metre flybridge yacht has been designed for owner-operators, although buyers of the first two hulls opted for the optional crew quarters. Both hulls use twin Volvo Penta IPS1050 pods with docking assist and have at-rest fin stabilisation. The interiors are modern – with lowering windows in the saloon plus a flip-up window in the galley that serves the aft deck. clyachts.com

Daychaser 48

When Barton & Gray Mariners Club needed more boats to satisfy its growing membership, it commissioned 10 custom 14.6-metre boats to be designed by Zurn Yacht Design and built at Boston Boatworks. Dayboating is the focus, and on-deck amenities include an open-air galley, bow lounge and plenty of water toy stowage. bostonboatworks.com ; zurnyachts.com ; bartonandgray.com

Silvercat 40CC

First revealed at the Dubai International Boat Show in March, Gulf Craft’s new 12.2-metre centre console catamaran with a 4.1-metre beam offers a vast and stable platform for fishing or watersports, easily taking 12 on board. A draught of less than 50cm means nowhere is out of reach. Two to four outboards of 300hp to 400hp each provide the power. gulfcraftinc.com

Greenline 58 Fly

The solar roof on this new 18.2-metre flybridge yacht gives a hint that this is something different. Greenline Yachts’ boats uniquely come with a choice of efficient conventional diesel, hybrid or fully electric drives, while solar power runs all appliances on board. Whatever the propulsion choice, the 58 Fly’s layout by Marco Casali is eminently liveable, including a main-deck galley aft conveniently close to the cockpit dining area, and three cabins below deck with the option of a skipper’s cabin. greenlinehybrid.com

At 55 knots, this express boat makes quick work of a jaunt to a secluded bay and, once there, its 90cm draught will come in handy. Legacy Superyachts by the Lazzara family is behind the new boat, conceived initially as a tender to an in-build L-135 yacht. At 21.3 metres, it would be a big tender indeed. The sizeable open beach deck can carry two jet skis or a 4.3-metre tender, and there is direct access to this deck from a lounge on the lower deck, which has quarters for six guests. legacysuperyachts.com

Nordhavn 51

As they say, good things come to those that wait. Nordhavn currently has 23 owners waiting for the 15.5-metre N51 – the first hull of which is on track for an April 2023 launch. The big sister to the very popular N41, which debuted in late 2020, this two-cabin passage-maker adds an extra head and a flybridge. It is being built to CE Category A certification for serious ocean use. nordhavn.com

Trident 650 EVO

Outer Reef Yachts incorporated its clients’ wishes for more volume and comfort into the latest Ward Setzer-designed Trident series model, currently in build. As an evolved version of the Trident 620, the 19.8-metre yacht offers more space in the galley, saloon aft, boat deck, aft deck and flybridge, as well as an extra en suite cabin. Performance-wise, it benefits from Volvo Penta’s second-generation Electronic Vessel Control system, coupled with a conventional transmission and SeaTorque enclosed shaft drive system. outerreefyachts.com
