The yachting “space race” pushes builders to pack big-boat features into compact designs. Consequently, owners maximize space without exceeding strict Length Overall (LOA) regulations.

But does a widebody design look chunky? Exterior designer Filippo Salvetti disagrees. “Instead, it is an opportunity to give the project greater dynamism,” he explains.

As a result, the yacht boasts a sporty, eye-catching silhouette. Salvetti highlights the contemporary exterior, noting its “sculpted and taut” surfaces.

Furthermore, clean upper deck bulwarks perfectly frame the glazing. Finally, a dynamic sweeping line around the helm adds tension and elegance to the hull.

Added volume, Filippo Salvetti says, “does not necessarily result in a massive, heavy yacht. It all depends on proportions.”  Like many yacht trends, the style was introduced in response to market demands. Alessandro Tirelli, chief sales officer of serial business at Ferretti Group, believes that clients aren’t as willing to make compromises when it comes to onboard volumes anymore.

“The widebody design was a key part of [our] vision,” he explains. “It allowed us to significantly expand the main deck interior volume, especially in the master suite, without compromising the yacht’s balance or performance.” While amping up the comfort and space, the yacht was able to keep her “dynamic spirit”, according to Tirelli.
