Italian shipyard Rossinavi has successfully delivered its latest 65.7-meter superyacht, Alchemy, marking the second delivery of the year for the company.



Alchemy, set to make her debut at the Monaco Yacht Show, boasts a signature Vitruvius hull designed by Philippe Briand, in collaboration with Rossinavi for the yacht's naval architecture. The interior of the yacht was helmed by Venice-based studio Enrico Gobbi - Team for Design.

The tri-deck superyacht is equipped with diesel-electric propulsion and has been specifically built to cater to the owner's request for ample al fresco areas and a strong emphasis on wellness. The result is a remarkable 330 square meters of outdoor space, featuring a jacuzzi and multiple sunpads. The owner has been represented by Fabrizio Loi of USA-based Interyachting LLC, with inspections carried out by Mike Worthington-Lees of Winterbothams Ltd.



With a layout encompassing six cabins, the yacht offers a spacious beach club and a massage room with arch-like windows, as mentioned by the shipyard. Rossinavi focused on the study of light and reflections, creating an area that allows natural light to enter during the day through hatch openings. Marble monoliths form a checkerboard wall, reflecting light in a captivating manner and imbuing the space with a soothing atmosphere.

The garage area can accommodate various accessories, including two tenders measuring seven and eight meters in length, an inflatable dock, and mountain bikes.

Federico Rossi, chief operating officer of Rossinavi, emphasized the significance of balance in the vessel's design, achieved through collaboration with Philippe Briand, utilizing decades of expertise. A standout feature of the interior is a suspended staircase, serving as the centerpiece in the main saloon and connecting the bridge to the upper deck, supported by two partitions of white Carrara marble.

Philippe Briand expressed gratitude for working with the owner in creating the superyacht, describing her as a true "Alchemy," reflecting the combination of elements that led to the creation of this streamlined and elegant three-deck vessel, perfectly embodying what Vitruvius Yachts represents.

Alchemy's world debut is scheduled for the Monaco Yacht Show in September, and new images of the yacht are expected to be unveiled in the upcoming months.

Rossinavi is an Italian manufacturer of custom steel and aluminum superyachts 28m in size and larger. The Rossi shipyard was founded in the 1970s and is located in Viareggio.
