Projects: Italian Yachts 27 Navetta, Italian Yachts 80 Jaguar Sport, Italian Yachts 70 Jaguar

Italian yachts is a company located in Genoa, Italy which comes from a successful period following the presentation of the Paolo Caliari designed 76 Jaguar a few years back. Now the company wants to pursue this good start with more continuation, presenting 3 upcoming project models, two following the line of the 76 Jaguar of Sport Yachts, and the one above the 27 Navetta going into a new environment and type of yachting for the builder. This project is the biggest offer from this builder, and is a three deck plus displacement superyacht, with a calculated top speed of 13 knots with twin 700hp engines. Interior is a 3 or 4 guest cabins in the lower deck, an owner cabin on the main deck, and 2 crew cabins forward with crew lobby and galley. Soon coming to the water is the evolution of the Italian Yachts 76 Jaguar created by the great Paolo Caliari, the 80 Jaguar Sport which is designed by a rising name of Italian yacht design, Roberto Angel. Design, engineering, sports lines, charm, instinct, rationality, power and comfort is the 80 Jaguar Sport perfect synthesis. This 25 metre Super Sport Yacht will offer a 4 cabin en-suite layout, with crew quarters and galley located midship. Power is by twin MTU 1800 HP each, which will enable maximum speeds of 42 knots. The new 70 Jaguar will be a step forward for this size and type of yacht, taking something from bigger boats in its aggressive exterior design, and from smaller ones on the hull shape. The exterior while offering modern looks offers a deep deck area on the fore part with a central circle sun lounger in the middle. This is unusual for a 21 metre sport yacht, and on the renderings looks good. It also gives the advantage of not having sunbathers obstructing the helm station views while underway. On the accommodation front the standard layout is a classic 3 cabins layout with owner cabin to fore, and saloon with opposing galley to midship. Hull shape innovation comes for the two stepped hull vee shape with a 21 degrees deadrise, this is common for a powerboat, but unusual for a 21 metre Sport Yacht. Performance will also be on the high side estimating top speeds of 45 knots with twin MTU 1500hp engines, but smaller 1200hp MTU will also give 42 knots max and cruising speeds of 34 knots.
