The first unit in Italian Vessels' 38.1-metre ClassicA 37 series has hit the water, named Cheyenne. Delivery on the flagship model is expected before the close of this year.
The yacht's exterior lines and naval architecture were penned by Studio Samarelli, who describes her as "a ship disguised as a yacht" with several commercial design details. Her interiors are owed to Francesca Cianficconi, a studio based in Rome, Italy.
Designed to be an autonomous, long-range cruiser, Cheyenne is expected to obtain Ice Class certification and meets the diesel engine emission reduction standards issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Imagery is undisclosed but her interiors are said to include "state-of-the-art" entertainment systems and a suite of amenities which make Cheyenne "liveable 365 days a year".
On the technical side, the yacht is powered by IMO III-certified engines equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) exhausts. Key specs include a fuel capacity of 67,000 litres and a maximum speed of 15 knots.
The yard confirmed that Cheyenne is the first build in a planned range that will include models from 20 metres in length.
