Cantieri di Pisa's newly formed custom yacht division has marked a new construction milestone for its 40-metre custom superyacht. According to the yard, the yacht's hull is now complete, with work nearly finished on the first level of its superstructure.
This is the first 30-metre-plus yacht to begin construction since the yard was acquired in 2021 by Enrico Gennasio, with delivery to her French owner expected in February 2027.
"We recently had a meeting with the owner and his team, with whom we continue to have a relationship based on great mutual trust at both personal and professional levels," said Marco Massabò, the yard's CEO. "This is the first boat built by Cantieri di Pisa after the change of direction, and the fact that it’s a fully bespoke project requires the development of design solutions that make no compromises on quality standards. The yacht’s generous volumes, compared to market standards, have allowed us to further optimise liveability at sea.”
The yard has also begun fitting out the interior of the vessel, which houses six guest cabins and five crew cabins, all en suite. The owner's cabin is located forward on the main deck and will have a private terrace, while a massage room on the upper deck can also be converted into an additional cabin.
Other features include a Jacuzzi, a spacious beach club and two lateral-opening terraces. The yacht will also be equipped with a garage amidships for side-launching waverunners and a 6.6-metre tender. Long-range cruising is the goal, according to the yard, with the new build equipped with a well-appointed galley, pantries on all decks, fridge and freezer areas and a high-capacity laundry.
Twin 1,550 HP MAN V12 engines will power the yacht to a top speed of 15 knots, cruising speed of 13 knots and range of 2,000 nautical miles.
Last year, Cantieri di Pisa confirmed it was advancing the renovation and expansion of its headquarters in Pisa as part of a multi-year plan to relaunch the brand.
