New Model: Salpa 50.5

The much waited new flagship of the Salpa range has been presented during the Cannes show last September. A much expected model from Salpa at over 50 feet, the 50.5 makes the Naples builder break into the yacht category, but also enters into the modern design philosophy thanks to a fully enclosed hard top with patio door, the use of Volvo IPS propulsion and also modern infusion building technology for the hull and GRP parts accept for the hardtop, which is hand laminated in Kevlar for minimum weight. Inside the Salpa 50.5 also features what has been the design revolution of modern opens, offering a lower deck dedicated all for the three double cabins and two very spacious heads, and a living upper deck saloon with galley opposite. The aft deck features a c-shaped settee which becomes a sun lounger by lowering the table. Salpa 50.5 beats also most of the competition for a double personal water craft stowage, offering a garage and a bathing platform with up and low movement.
