Italian yard Codecasa has announced a construction update on its 24 metre Gentleman's Yacht project, confirming a scheduled delivery date for summer 2023.
Newly released images show that the aluminium hull has already been turned at the builder's Viareggio facilities.
The all-aluminium yacht had been penned in by Luca Dini Design & Architecture in collaboration with Names Studio naval architect Francesco Rogantin and Kurt Lehmann of Yacht Moments.
The yacht's style is reminiscent of classic yachts from the 1950s and 60s. Mahogany wood inserts give the vessel a timeless feel, while the design is outfitted with "the latest technological innovations," according to the yard.
Speaking about the design, Luca Dini said: “The idea was to transform a piece of nautical history into something exclusive.
“Yachts from the 50s immediately take me back to when I was a child. So, I wanted to create something that, just by looking at it, made me relive moments of my childhood.”
Fulvio Codecasa described the project as “characterised by noble elegance and refined design”.
The yacht, which pairs traditional maritime style with modern features, will be available in a limited run of 10 hulls and is aimed towards owners “looking for something different.”
Key exterior features include “glossy mahogany flanks and wooden surfaces” and “chrome-plated steel finishes.” Special attention has been paid to maximising the beach club aft. The custom tender meanwhile is stored on the main deck and deployed using a hidden crane.
Accommodation on board is for a total of eight guests in four guest cabins, with two cabins for crew. The interior is available in two themes; traditional and contemporary. The traditional theme includes wooden panels, white lacquered ceilings and wooden details. Other materials include chocolate and taupe leather with navy blue fabrics.
The Gentleman's Yacht will be able to hit top speeds of 25 knots under power, offering a cruising range of 2,100 nautical miles at nine knots.
