38m Rosetti Superyachts Project Makasea launched in Italy

Italian shipyard Rosetti Superyachts has launched Project Makasea, the second hull in the Rosetti 38m EXP series, two months ahead of schedule.

Project Makasea is the result of a collaboration with Hydro Tec, who developed the exterior and naval architecture and Burdissocapponi Yachts & Design for interiors.

Built in steel and aluminum, the Rossetti 38m EXP series marks the yard’s first venture into explorer-type superyachts, known otherwise for constructing ocean-going supply vessels.

The 432GT interior has accommodation for a total of twelve guests in five cabins, including a full-beam main deck owner’s suite with a private balcony.

While full details have not been disclosed, some highlights have been unveiled including a 150-square-metre sundeck that features a dining area, jacuzzi and bar, as well as a sea-level beach club. Interior spaces incorporate near-full-height glass and bulwark cutouts for uninterrupted views.

Powered by twin 800hp MAN diesel engines, Project Makasea can reach a top speed of 13 knots and a transatlantic range of 4,500 nautical miles when pared back to 10 knots.

The news follows the 2021 launch of Rosetti’s first hull in the series, named Emocean.
