Built by Sanlorenzo and delivered in 2019, 64.25m luxury yacht Attila he 64Steel offers features usually found on larger superyachts – such as the 275 m2 private Owner’s Deck – which combine with innovative layout solutions and elegant exterior lines to create a truly remarkable superyacht.
In 2019, 64Steel Attila was awarded the ‘Best Interior Design’ Trophy for yachts over 30m at the Cannes Yachting Festival World Yacht Trophies Gala Dinner. Attila which has an innovative super high tech TEAM ITALIA bridge on board, with a transparent Head Up Display.
She can accommodate up to 12 people with 18 crew members. With a gross tonnage of 1600 GRT and at a striking 64 metres in length, 64Steel Attila is the result of close collaboration between the studio Officina Italiana Design and the styling division of Sanlorenzo. Her internal décor is the work of Francesco Paszkowski and Margherita Casprini.
The Main Deck at the stern and the Beach Club on the Lower Deck surely represent the most distinctive areas of the project. A strong hallmark of design and layout is the double stairway that connects the pool and dining area to the Beach Club equipped with a sauna, hammam, massage room, and gym, right at the waterline. With the bow mirror and the side platforms open, the Beach Club covers an area of 78 square meters.
“The most important aspect that has characterized yatcht’s concept has been the will to obtain continuity between the beach club and an area we could call an “al fresco” veranda, that is the rear part of the Main Deck where the pool is also located, passing along an impressive stairway. The idea behind the layout in fact enables us to integrate the main aft deck and the beach club as much as possible. This characteristic thus enables us to enjoy both areas, around which the social life on board is focused, simultaneously, without separating the guests.” Antonio Santella, Vice President Sales & Marketing, Sanlorenzo Superyacht Division.
A real challenge for the production team was the creation of an enormous barbecue in the dining area of the main deck, a request which was particularly connected to the nationality of the owner, an Argentine entrepreneur who was already a Sanlorenzo client with the 46Steel Achille delivered in 2012 and was closely involved with the planning and construction of the new yacht from the beginning. The arrangement of an open fire in an enclosed space in fact required the use of A60 fireproof stainless steel and the installation of an advanced smoke removal system.
The crew, located in the Lower Deck, has private and independent routes with two service stairs and an elevator for the rapid transfer of cold and dry goods into the storage rooms. Below the Lower Deck, lies the Tank Deck with a refrigeration chamber, a refrigerated waste room, a multimedia room for the crew, a large laundry, and a climate-controlled “wine cellar” with a capacity of up to 500 bottles.
The four guest rooms and the full beam VIP suite are located on the Main Deck. The 64Steel Attila interiors were furnished and decorated by Francesco Paszkowski and Margherita Casprini. “We worked full speed with the owner and the shipyard – recalls Francesco Paszkowski – defining a modern space in South American style with natural elements such as teak, near which the owner wanted to add and mix many other materials he loves, and which are part of his personal experience. Attila is the yacht of a man who lives life to the fullest. And lives his yacht.”
Regarding the furnishings, many pieces were custom designed, while others were created by some Italian and international leading design companies such as Summit, De Sede, Flexform and Catellani & Smith
Her top speed is 18kn and her power comes from two 2375hp Caterpillar 3516-C diesel engines.
Azimut has launched the Magellano 27M, a 27-meter yacht representing the third generation of its Voyager series. The design features exterior work by Jarkko Jämsén and interior spaces by AMDL CIRCLE & Michele De Lucchi, marking the architecture firm's first marine project.The yacht incorporates a loggia-style main deck with full-height glazing designed to create visual connection with marine environments. The exterior design emphasizes clean lines and curved surfaces intended to reflect light and water movements. Jämsén's approach focused on reducing visual elements to create what the designer terms a "bare shape" that integrates with natural surroundings.Interior spaces utilize light wood finishes and architectural elements inspired by Mediterranean patio designs. The layout prioritizes natural illumination through extensive glazing, with wooden structural components serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. The design team treated natural light as a structural material throughout the living spaces.Technical specifications include long-range cruising capabilities consistent with the Magellano series' explorer yacht positioning. The vessel maintains Azimut's dual-mode hull design, offering stability in various sea conditions while maintaining fuel efficiency during extended voyages.The Magellano 27M accommodates owners focused on extended cruising rather than seasonal Mediterranean use. Interior configurations emphasize connection with external environments while maintaining privacy requirements during long-term onboard living.The yacht represents Azimut's continued development of its Voyager series, which targets owners seeking transoceanic capabilities combined with contemporary design aesthetics. The collaboration with architectural firm AMDL CIRCLE introduces new design approaches to marine interiors, particularly in the treatment of natural light and spatial organization.Production will utilize Azimut's existing manufacturing facilities, with the Magellano 27M positioned as the new flagship of the Voyager line. The yacht is scheduled for public presentation during the 2025-2026 boat show season following initial client deliveries.The Magellano series now spans multiple size categories, with the 27M model representing the largest current offering in Azimut's explorer yacht range. The company continues to develop both motor yacht and explorer segments simultaneously across its product portfolio.Credits: Azimut

Italian marine manufacturers Castoldi and Nauta have developed the Jet Tender 34 Limo, marking Castoldi's first entry into the limousine tender segment. The 10.4-meter vessel will serve as ship-to-shore transportation for a new boutique cruise ship fleet under construction in Italy, with four limousine tenders and two support vessels ordered per vessel.Giacomo Castoldi, CEO of Castoldi, stated: "This project represents a new chapter for Castoldi that expands our offerings to new markets, while maintaining the commitment to innovation, quality, and luxury we are known for." The collaboration utilizes Castoldi's waterjet propulsion technology and semi-serial production capabilities combined with Nauta's design approach.Nauta Director Guido Valtorta noted: "Typically, limousine tenders are custom-made for large yachts, but this project allowed us to merge bespoke luxury with the efficiency of semi-serial production." The design incorporates multiple boarding points, configurable seating arrangements, and ceiling lighting systems aimed at creating spacious interior environments.Technical features include Castoldi's ACES electronic control system and waterjet propulsion designed for commercial vessel applications. The tender achieves cabin cooling within 15 minutes and incorporates noise-reduction systems within rub rails. The platform allows for Open Limo and Support Vessel configurations through modular design principles.The first unit is scheduled for delivery in late 2025, with project presentation planned for the Monaco Yacht Show. The tender measures 10.4 meters in length with limousine-style enclosed cabin accommodation. Production follows semi-serial methods rather than custom one-off construction, representing a new operational approach for Castoldi in this vessel category.The partnership combines Castoldi's marine engineering capabilities with Nauta's yacht design experience, targeting the growing market for luxury tender operations in cruise ship and superyacht sectors. The design emphasizes functional elements including pantry facilities and toilet accommodations within the compact hull form.Credits: Nauta
