59m Rossinavi explorer yacht Akula joins the market

The 59.4-metre Rossinavi explorer yacht Akula has been listed for sale with David Legrand of Fraser. According to BOATPro, she joins the market for the very first time since her 2024 delivery.

Frequently spotted around the world thanks to her scarlet red profile, Akula was delivered to much acclaim as the Italian shipyard's first-ever explorer yacht. Her bold and brawny profile was designed by Gian Paolo Nari, with naval architecture developed by Arrabito Naval Architects and interiors from the drawing boards of FM – Architettura d’interni.

Built for worldwide exploration, Akula was constructed with an ice-class steel hull and features a hybrid, diesel-electric propulsion for "exceptional autonomy, efficiency and low-impact cruising", according to her broker, equipped with a range of up to 8,000 nautical miles.

“This is a yacht that is born to explore the world,” interior designer Francesca Muzio told BOAT International in 2025.“Akula is very masculine from the outside, but inside you’ll find a warm, homely and very detailed vessel.”

Akula's interior layout is far from the norm. Her explorer nature continues inside with a non-traditional layout that features no grand saloon or central staircase. A relaxed upper deck skylounge is instead the main convivial area; complete with a fire pit, it has been designed for stargazing and relaxed evenings at sea.

A clean and organic aesthetic characterises her 1,241GT interior, decorated in soft textures, natural materials and a calm tonal palette.

Notable custom highlights on board include an upper deck wellness area with a fully equipped gym, sauna, massage room and a heated pool, an owner’s “man cave” on the bridge deck decorated with nautical antiques and a mud room fitted with practical elements such as built-in drying areas for outdoor gear. There is also a "craft cave"(originally created for the owner's wife to work on embroidery) and a lower-deck workshop, with a lift connecting all decks.

Accommodation is for up to 10 guests in five main-deck cabins, comprising an owner's suite, three double cabins and one twin cabin, including one convertible study. Meanwhile, further quarters accommodate a crew of 13.

Outside, Akula features generous open deck spaces, substantial storage capacity for tenders up to nine metres and a crane capable of handling large equipment, including a small submarine if desired.

She is also equipped with onboard labs and workshops, which make her equally suited for scientific research.

Key specs include an 11.3-metre beam and a draught of 3.5 metres. Diesel-electric power from Caterpillar, with VETH pods and dynamic positioning, offers a maximum speed of 15 knots, while guests can cruise comfortably at 12 knots. The RINA-classed yacht for sale is also fitted with Naiad Dynamics Zero Speed stabiliser.

Akula is listed for sale with POA.
