New Model: Apreamare Maestro 88

 

Apreamare is pleased to announce that on Saturday August third a launch ceremony was held where the new Maestro 88 touched the sea for the first time.  The private celebration was attended by the owner, an Italian and an admirer of the Apreamare brand who already owns other boats by the Sorrentine shipyard. The owner brought his family and expressly requested the attendance of all the workers and suppliers who contributed with passion and dedication to the realization of this fascinating and ambitious project, in addition to the Apreamare management. The traditional christening ritual sealed the launch to the notes of the Mameli anthem, a song chosen to represent the essence of the all-Italian project, which proudly represents Made in Italy for the world to see.  The ceremony was a moment of great emotion for both the owner and the shipyard, testifying to the important milestone as summarized by CEO Rita Pollio and President Cataldo Aprea.  The Maestro 88 is the largest Apreamare to date, replacing the Maestro 82 as produced from 2008 to 2020 in ten units.  The new Maestro 88 represented a new challenge for the Sorrentine shipyard, for the architect Marco Casali and for the engineer Umberto Tagliavini. It is a totally custom-built vessel with a semi-planning hull that maintains the family feeling of the previous Maestro line while introducing profound stylistic and functional innovations.  27.10 meters long and 7 meters wide with a draft of 1.80 meters and a displacement at full load of 90 tons, the Maestro 88 is powered by two 1,650 horsepower MAN engines, capable of reaching a maximum speed of 22 knots and a range of 1,000 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 10 knots. The owner of the first unit opted for more powerful 2,000 horsepower engines, perfectly balancing weight and power for long-range navigation in absolute comfort.  The exterior lines integrate perfectly with the bright interiors and large living spaces, which include a large beach club and a long sliding glass window on the main deck to bring the sea even closer. On the flybridge, there is a relaxation area, a galley with a wet-bar and solar panels. The interiors are completely customizable, available in configurations of up to four cabins and ample space for entertainment, all aimed at a superior quality of life on board, especially for long-range cruises.

New Model: Apreamare Gozzo 38 Cabin

Apreamare is pleased to announce the launch of the first unit of the new Gozzo 38 Cabin. This event not only celebrates the launch of the long-awaited traditional inspired looking cruiser, but also confirms Apreamare role as an innovator, without losing touch with tradition as the historic Neapolitan shipyard has been known throughout the world for designing and building boats since 1849. Conceived by Cataldo Aprea and designed by designer Marco Casali and engineer Umberto Tagliavini, the Gozzo 38 Cabin evolves from the famous Gozzo 35, introducing new elements in the design for an extremely comfortable on-board experience. The 38 Cabin was designed to expand the internal spaces and guarantee greater protection and accommodation on deck, making it ideal for multi-day cruising in every season and sea condition, although Apreamare has offered similar solutions in the past on its thirteen meters plus and larger cruisers and yachts, it is the first time it is offering a fully enclosed cruiser at eleven meters in size.  The new Apreamare Gozzo 38 Cabin will be officially presented at the upcoming Cannes boat show followed with an Italian premier and the Genoa Boat Show the following week, where enthusiasts will have the opportunity to admire this latest example of Italian nautical craftsmanship firsthand. The first Gozzo 38 Cabin will cruise the seas of Northern Europe, confirming the marine aptitude of this model designed for the owner who wishes to navigate comfortably all year round and in all weather conditions, even enjoying a multi-day cruise. This is possible without betraying the winning spirit that animates Apreamare’s projects: great seakeeping, hull stability, comfort, and beautiful shapes and lines that recall the centenary tradition of Sorrento gozzi.

Project: Apreamare Maestro 88

Apreamare reveals preview images for a new full-custom semi-planning super yacht destined to change the way to experience the sea: surprising volumes, timeless elegance, and superior quality of life on board, united by that sense of safety and reliability that has always distinguished the Maestro line, now masterfully reinterpreted by the Casali-Tagliavini duo. Great projects, like stories, can arise by chance, from the passionate and joyful intuitions of its protagonists, so it is in art or science, as in boating as well. This is the case for the Maestro line by Apreamare, which traces its origins to a restaurant in Genoa during the 2005 Boat Show, when the first sketches were drawn on a piece of paper. The fervent and creative mind of Cataldo Aprea conceived a motor-yacht to navigate with a modern live aboard comfort, with great style. The success of the Maestro line, the 82 sold ten units in a production run which lasted ten years from 2008 to 2020 has inspired a new challenge for the Sorrento-based shipyard, addressed to architect Marco Casali and Umberto Tagliavini as naval architect. The challenge came from a repeat Apreamare owner, eager for a larger yacht capable of guaranteeing long and safe voyages in tough conditions and a superior quality of life on board. After the initial evaluation, the shipyard and owner converged for a new flagship of over 27 metres in overall length, while remaining below the 24-metre regulatory threshold, and thus, the new Maestro 88 is born, fully customized with a semi-planning hull. While she strongly recalls the family-feeling of the previous Maestro line, the new 88 introduces innovative solutions and a fresh interpretation of style, form, and liveability, just like the new Gozzo line. Starting from design imperatives and stylistic cornerstones, which form the basis for the large and liveable cockpit and the unmistakably coordinated exteriors and interiors, Umberto Tagliavini proposed a dedicated hull geometry to tame the sea, even in adverse weather conditions, ensuring the complete safety and comfort of guests on board. Departing from her sisters in the previous Maestro line, rather than committing to planning hull, the Maestro 88 will feature a semi-planning keel optimized to cruise at eighteen knots in absolute comfort, with the possibility for a 23 knots as maximum speed. Regarding propulsion options, Apreamare Maestro 88 will come with twin Man 1600hp engines as standard, with eight thousand litres of fuel for a range up to one thousand nautical miles at ten knots. For Maestro 88 hull one, the owner chose the larger engines of twin 2,000hp Man which increase top speed by five knots. The external lines, endowed with great elegance and visual impact by the hand of Marco Casali, continuously dialogue with the indoor, which were designed to experience all around views of the sea. Compromises were not permitted in this project, resulting in continuous and direct visual contact with the outdoor. The connection with the marine element finds its natural quintessence on the large aft deck, in the bow lounge, across the sprawling beach club and through the long sliding glass windows. The expansive glazing also characterize the hull for a good part of its length, sending lots of light below deck, bringing out the chromatic games, and embellishing the marine reflections which are projected into the interiors. To solidify the sense of enhanced safety, a bow high above the water has been designed with an 80 cm rail, a pleasant frame to protect free circulation onboard, and for greater freedom of movement on deck. On the flybridge numerous spaces are to be dedicated to relaxation and boasting an elegant galley module with wet-bar, a T-Top with a light and captivating design stands out. The entire surface area of this part is covered with solar panels to power the onboard systems. For the entertainment of guests or for romantic getaways, the transom garage can house a four-metre tender and numerous water toys. The interiors are fully personalized, customizable in the number of cabins, furnishings and concept. Hull number one of the Maestro 88 will be launched with four suites, a studio and relaxation corner with an electric piano, but future owners have the option for up to five guest cabins and two for crew to accommodate a total of four. The flexibility of the Maestro 88 is a further confirmation of the Apreamare construction philosophy, operating as a “boutique” shipyard, capable of responding to any need for customization through an infinite choice of materials, essences, fabrics and colours, and thanks to the skilled hands of the internal workers, who are real artisans of excellence.

Project: Apreamare Gozzo 35 Cabin

Apreamare present the project for the Gozzo 35 Cabin.  Building on Cataldo Aprea’s insight, Marco Casali and Umberto Tagliavini have created a new version of the best selling Gozzo 35 for year-round navigation, featuring a newly designed deckhouse with an elegant contoured structure.  Designed for owners who want to be able to cruise all year round, in all weather conditions and for several days at a time when desired, as in northern Europe waters, the great lakes of North America and Turkey, the new Cabin version of the Gozzo 35 is the thinking of reaching out to new customer segments and markets.  All and this was the big challenge without betraying the winning spirit that animates Apreamare’s projects: seaworthiness, hull stability, comfort and beautiful lines inspired by the centuries-old tradition of Sorrento gozzo boats.  So, as needs and lifestyles change, the Sorrento boatyard’s answer is quick to arrive, with the help of Marco Casali and Umberto Tagliavini to create a boat that follows in the footsteps of her open sister, which they designed, but with solutions that revolutionise the concept. Elegant and impactful, the deckhouse bathes the entire cockpit in a profound sense of protection: the volume of the structure is made to look lighter by the extensive perimeter glazing, which floods the lounge with light and offers guests a spectacular 360-degree view of the horizon. The interiors and exteriors talk to each other in perfect harmony through a four-section plate glass door. Its functions are twofold: to create a single space connecting the indoor and outdoor settings or, when closed, to protect guests from excessive heat or bad weather. Here, in fact, as well as the helm station and a functional galley behind it with a sink and hob, there is also an L-shaped dinette to enjoy meals in company and in maximum comfort.  The iconic status of the Sorrento gozzo boat is highlighted on this new Cabin version not only by the intense sensation of living in close contact with the sea and nature, but also by the care lavished on onboard comfort: the as always very generous stern platform, an extensive sun pad forward with panoramic seating, the pull-out L-shaped table seating six in the cockpit and the wide side decks. The high bulwarks have also made it possible to raise the deck and therefore increase the volume of the interiors, without compromising the boat’s lines. As a result, the height of the gunwale is 20 cm lower and a rail has been added to maintain the boat’s lateral flow, but also and most importantly for reasons of safety, given this new model’s exceptional cruising capabilities. This design solution delivers truly outstanding volume for a boat classified as under ten metres. Design work also focused on the liveability of the spaces below deck, with the aim of creating a layout with two cabins and a bathroom. While the forward area remains basically the same, the new layout brings benefits for the bathroom and shower, which now offer more surface area. The guest cabin amidships also gains in terms of width, with room for a bed that is 140 cm wide at head level. In terms of propulsion, the boat offers the practicality and reliability of a traditional in-line shaft arrangement with two Volvo Penta 270hp engines, and or the same engines with stern drives.  The first Apreamare Gozzo 35 Cabin is scheduled to hit the water in the early months of 2024.

Salvatore Pollio 1934 - 2023

Salvatore Pollio, the entrepreneur from Sorrento and co-founder of Apreamare, passed away on Monday April 24, 2023, aged 89.  Beloved by all who knew him, Salvatore Pollio was for many years the heart and soul of the production and work organisation side of Apreamare, the boatyard he founded with Cataldo Aprea in 1988 and a benchmark brand today for classic Sorrento gozzo boats revisited from a modern perspective. A pragmatic and reserved man with a wealth of boatbuilding experience, Salvatore Pollio was a key figure in the company and a second father to all the craftsmen he personally supervised for many years. At work, he was straight-talking and gifted in his ability to pass on his expertise with grace, kindness and irony. When he retired from active duty in the company, he handed over the baton to his daughter Rita, today CEO, and son Tonino, yard director, but never stopped taking an interest in Apreamare and was always excited by the excellent results the company has achieved in recent years. Business partners, but above all friends, Cataldo Aprea and Salvatore Pollio had complementary personalities – the former volcanic and the latter more reserved – and treated each other with great respect and fondness, but most importantly they designed together the first ever planning Gozzo with a fibreglass hull, Smeraldo 7, the first revolutionary example of this hugely successful type of boat for which Apreamare is today known worldwide. “I like to remember Salvatore as the other half of Apreamare’s heart and soul, a reserved person who preferred to keep a low profile but who was always present and passionate about the business. Without him, our brand wouldn’t be what it is today,” said Cataldo Aprea, Apreamare chairman.

New Model: Apreamare Gozzo45

Apreamare presents the Gozzo45, third model of the Gozzo line which debuted in 2017 with the 11 meter.  This new Gozzo45 at fourteen meters in length is the largest build to date of this evolutive traditional looking Gozzo line, with walkaround and centre console features cruiser.  Designed by Marco Casali the Gozzo45 follows the success of the Gozzo35 in an extra three meter size offering more comfort and space everywhere. Unlike the Gozzo35 who is a day or at most a weekend cruiser, the Gozzo45 wants to be the cruiser, with excellent accommodation options; with two or three cabin choices, and an optional crew cabin available aft.  The Gozzo45 also offers interesting range ability in both engines and propulsion choices, with 270 nautical miles with shafts, and 350 nautical miles with the IPS Volvo engine pod propulsion set up.  In the Gozzo45 Apreamare leaves nothing to chance with one of Italy's and the World deep-Vee masters, Umberto Tagliavini taking care for the design of the hull shape presenting a balanced underwater suited to both IPS or line shaft propulsion choices, with a dry and stable ride.

Project: Apreamare Gozzo 45

Following up on the success of the Gozzo 35, the Sorrento shipyard reveals the first designs for the iconic line’s new flagship: Gozzo 45 which will be presented next September at the Cannes boat show. The new Gozzo 45 features a noble soul and elegant lines, superior livability and a fast, stable hull. Apreamare upholds the shipyard’s reputation for world-class build quality and extraordinary attention to detail, a family tradition of hand boatbuilding that has been handed down since 1849. Designed as the other Gozzo models by Marco Casali of Too Design, Cataldo Aprea and the Apreamare Technical Department started from the core of the boat, livability managing to achieve impossible spaces on a 45-footer, even below deck. The distinct aesthetic fully respects the traditional lines of the Sorrentine gozzo, albeit decidedly and wisely updated. The result is a traditional crusier with personality, charm and sober elegance. Tradition, the essence of the brand, is observed and amplified in the new Gozzo 45. Distinctly Mediterranean, this classy cruiser starts from the total absence of steps on deck, in strict adherence to the walkaround philosophy. The open-concept design improves everyday life at sea with comfortable and connected settings: the generous stern platform, two large sunbeds, the cockpit table, which seats eight to ten guests, the bow lounge, the large side decks and the high bulwarks. Below deck as well, the new Gozzo 45 defies expectations with a two-cabin layout, featuring a dinette and two bathrooms, and an optional layout with three cabins and two bathrooms. In both versions, there is close continuity with the outside, favoring space, air and natural light. The naval architecture and hull geometry arise from the long experience of Umberto Tagliavini of Marine Design, who has already signed most of the shipyard’s successful projects. The new Gozzo 45 is a boat that, faithful to tradition, combines high performance, stability and seakeeping, as well as great comfort with low roll under way and at anchor. The hull has a variable geometry with a deep V, designed to accommodate traditional shaft line with Cummins 600hp giving up to thirty knots top speed, or Volvo IPS pod drive with 480hp which give speeds up 33 knots.

New Model: Apreamare Gozzo 35

On seventh July Apreamare launched its new creation, the new 35 Gozzo, an evolution of the traditional Italian fishing boat which brought success and World fame to the South Italian boat builder from the nineties onward.  Much waited the 35 Gozzo is in part an evolution of the much publicized eleven meter Gozzo model launched in 2017, but also the next step on how to take the traditional Italian fishing boat into the future, as in the 35 Gozzo we see a lot of center console design, and a tendency to offer a cruiser full of day accommodation and comfort.  The 35 Gozzo is also not just an evolution of the 2017 Gozzo model, and besides important design changes; as a full walk-around deck, a fully protected stern, and an integrated t-top it also features a new hull which is wider and longer. Other technical changes will be the choice of propulsion from stern drives, and or traditional line shaft.  The Apreamare 35 Gozzo is powered by twin Volvo 230hp with stern drives, or 270hp with shafts with both engine choice and propulsion choices giving identical performance numbers of thirty knots top speed and 25 cruise.

Apreamare New Web Site

Apreamare builder of the Gozzo traditional Italian fishing boat transformed cruiser and yacht, presents its new virtual World wide web showroom. Apreamare was officially founded in 1983 by Cataldo Aprea. But the Aprea family started building boats back in 1849 when Giovanni Aprea from Sorrento, Naples starts wooden building rowing and sailing boats production for the dedicated fisherman of the area. The Aprea family lineage continues after World War II, and the shipyard starts to experiment by fitting car engines on the small Italian Gozzo fishing boat, and here come the first commissions for boats dedicated for pleasure. Cataldo who is a fifth generation Aprea joined the boat building family in 1973, to which ten years later he leaves the family company, and taking at heart what he learnt from his father founds Apreamare. The first model from Cataldo's Aprea is the 7 Smeraldo launched in 1987 during the Naples boat show. A year later to this Salvatore Pollio a builder from the area joins Cataldo and here starts the Apreamare expansion which takes another high when the 9 Smeraldo the first planning Gozzo is launched. In 2000 Aprea becomes a joint stock company, and a year later to this the company joins the Ferretti Group. In 2010 Pollio and Aprea buy back the family brand which also includes the production facility in Torre Annunziata, Naples which started being built in 2002. In 2015 Apreamare makes group again and enters in the Cose Belle d'Italia franchise.  Today Apreamare offers eleven models; eight in the Apreamare traditional gozzo inspired range, and three from the Maestro series.

Project: Apreamare Gozzo 35

Apreamare, a company which has always been careful about the needs of the market, is never tired of learning from its clients and it is for them that Gozzo 35 was born. This is a new version of the Gozzo Sorrentino that answers the modern styles of life, it looks at the Mediterranean charm without leaving behind North Europe and Far East’s markets and is proposed as an optimal solution even for the ones who wants to offer a charter service that distinguish itself in terms of comfort and exclusivity.  The main point will be the hull by Marine Design, which has already taken part of many Apreamare successful models. The particular feature of this new project is the possibility to install an engine type both in line shaft with a power from 270 to 320hp, and with stern drive of 230 to 320hp.  Furthermore, there are two other versions: the first one with a single engine and the second with hybrid propulsion.  A remarkable effort has been made to develop the boat concept by the architect Marco Casali, who added value to the outdoor spaces of the deck in cooperation with Cataldo Aprea. Both architect and company chairman paid great attention to design the hull with lines that puts it in a more contemporary context while respecting the aesthetic standards of the Gozzo Sorrentino. Apreamare Gozzo 35 is a walk-around boat equipped with a comfy couch at stern with a table that manage to organize enjoyable outside dinner. The walkways are wide and safe thanks to the maximum beam of three and half meters. and a large sunbathing zone with opposed seats is situated at bow. The boat is provided with a T-Top that is used as a base for a kitchen furniture that could be fitted out either with a sink, a barbecue or a hob, a fridge and an ice-maker.  Gozzo 35 lower cabin deck offers an open space cabin with a double bed at bow, wardrobes and furniture with leather inserts and a detached bathroom with a big shower. The style of the interiors recalls the brightness of the Mediterranean architectures and there is the possibility for the owners to personalize the colors of the leathers and the type of woods.  The first Gozzo Apreamare 35 will be launched in Spring 2020 in the historic frame of Sorrento.

New Model: Apreamare 11m Gozzo

In a publicity stint which started in June and lasted over two months the Gozzo from Apreamare has finally arrived.  This new eleven meter model, and soon to become range is designed by Brunello Acampora of Victory Design and inspired by company boss Cataldo Aprea.  This is a very interesting product and once again we see a geniality from Cataldo Aprea challenge his Neopolitan routes and bring another different stint to the traditional Italian Gozzo fishing boat.  The twist here, makes the Gozzo range a very stylish day or weekend cruiser.  A few surprises come into this new eleven meter Gozzo with the most notable that it is powered by stern drives; standard single or optional twin units what is a first for Apreamare.  The accommodation layout of the 11m Gozzo is really spot on.  The main deck offers a central settee with a C-shaped dinette looking forward, and a bench looking aft which converts to large double sun-pad, at midships is a central helm station, to port side is relaxing lounge settee, while astern of the helm is another settee.  If desired this area will also be offered with a modern designed T-top which thanks to extendable bimini and forward and aft removable poles, can cover the whole deck from fore to aft  Below the 11m Gozzo offers a galley, shower head, double berth forward cabin, and double midships located berth.  The accommodation is enough for long weekend trips, but the small fuel tank of 450 liters leaves a bit to be desired if you choose the twin engines installation.  Compliments again go to Apreamare for breaking monotony, it is not the first time this Neapolitan builder does this, so chapeau.

Apreamare presented the 45 Smeraldo at the Cannes show the past September.  The 45 Smeraldo is a return to a name used by Apreamare in the nineties, and is a design of architect Spadolini for exterior lines plus interior, and Umberto Tagliavini for hull shape.  Measuring 45 feet overall the new Smeraldo keeps the traditional Italian Gozzo fishing boat lines, but gives a further touch of modernity compared to the other current Apreamare models, although surprisingly there is no in fashion big view windows in the lower deck cabin area.  The latest Apreamare traditional 48, and 64 models have in fact featured these to midships. The interior lower deck offers a two cabins plan with owners suite to fore.  A crew cabin is located to port side behind the well sized galley.  Power is from twin Volvo 370 or optional 435hp engines with IPS pods propulsion.  The 45 Smeraldo is the second Aprea which goes the pod drives propulsion route following the use of these by the 66 Maestro launched the past Spring.

New Model: Apreamare 66 Maestro

Launched the past Spring the Apreamare 66 Maestro represented a lot of first from this Naples, Italian company.  Important novelties came from the 66 Maestro, being it is the first new model of Apreamare since this is being owned again by the Aprea family, and second is that is also hull one to be powered by pods.  Fast forward six months later, and today Apreamare features already three new models with pod propulsion.  Born as a redesign of the 65 Maestro, the 66 and the use of Volvo IPS pods, features a new hull shape, and structures to suit the Volvo propulsion system needs.  This resulted with designer Zuccon redesigning the interior of the 66 Maestro, which now has bigger cabins, and the bonus of a fourth room.  Most important is also a full beam owners stateroom located to midships, being much more spacious. Crew quarters located to midships behind the owners room have also gained volume and also feature an utility room, and now two cabins.  Power data from the twin Volvo 900hp is excellent delivering 32 knots max speed, and a 27 of cruise.

Project: Apreamare 56 Maestro

Apeamare has made 2011 a very important year presenting three new models, the 66 Maestro launched in early Spring, the 45 Smeraldo in September, and now the 56 Maestro which although we are showing project pictures here, was presented officially in Genoa a week ago.  The 56 Maestro will sit in between the 51 and also new 66 model, and is to be the second Apreamare powered by pod drives.  Design for this model is again trusted to Zuccon, care takes of all the Maestro range who presents the ship looking lines, with one of the most natural light filled saloon in this size of motor yacht.  The interior of the 56 Maestro offers three double cabins, with a full beam owners stateroom located to midships.  The layout has an important option of a three heads layout with galley located to starboard on the main deck by the helm station, or a galley down to midships with access from a five step staircase.  The 56 Maestro also gets a single crew cabin with one berth located to port side midships and having an entrance from the aft deck.  Power is from twin Volvo 600 or optional 700hp with IPS pods propulsion.  Speeds are a max of 28 knots with the standard engines and go up to 30 with the optional choice.

Project: Apreamare 45 Smeraldo

Apreamare presents the project for the 45 Smeraldo model.  This upcoming project represents a novelty in the retro range, and is designed by Architect Tommaso Spadolini for exterior lines and interior layout, and Umberto Taglio for underwater shape and structural planning.  The 45 also represents a return to the Smeraldo name for Apreamare.  What I see from Apreamare is surely a more modern interpretation of the classic Italian 'Gozzo Sorrentino' fishing boat not only outside but also on the technical things.  Some apparent changes are the wooden bulwarks which is now smaller and leaner, and more minimal design to the super structure. Obviously some classic themes remain as the forward settee a design shown by Apreamare in the nineties and since then copied in various other builds.  The 45 Smeraldo will feature an enclosed main deck with saloon, galley, and helm station all located here. So far no lower deck plans are shown but I do imagine this to be spacious mostly for the use of IPS pods.

Project: Apreamare 66 Maestro

Apreamare presents the project of the 66 Maestro, evolution of the 65 which launched this innovative styled motor yacht range from Naples South Italy builder five years ago. Designed as all the Apreamare Maestro range by Zuccon International Project, the 66 will improve all the areas over the previous 65 model, thanks to the use of Volvo IPS forward looking pod propulsion. Thanks to the use of the 2005 presented innovative Volvo propulsion the Apreamare 66 Maestro will have a larger full beam mid ship owners cabin, and a more spacious crew room with direct access to the engine room. While on the task of evolving this model Apreamare also improved other areas; the dinette on the main deck, aft deck now with a fixed table and settee, flybridge which is now larger thanks to a further extension, and the choice of having an open fly with mast or a new alternative hard top version. The standard power of the 66 Maestro will be twin Volvo 756hp engines, with IPS-3 1050 forward looking dual propeller pods propulsion with speeds estimates being of a 30 knots max, and 26 cruise speed.

New Model: Apreamare 44

The new Apreamare 44 continues this Italian builders success, who with the help of Victory Design offer a novelty which shouts tradition but takes hints of the recent models developments, read stern similar to the 64. As has been for Apreamare traditional Gozzo cruisers the sober elegant lines make the functional upper deck immediately recognizable thanks to the wide passageways, the settee to fore, huge bow sunbed, and the settee aft which if desired can transform into an additional sun lounger aft. Lower accommodation deck is reserved for the two spacious cabins and a galley: offering an owners cabin forward, a guest cabin with a single and a double berth, and two spacious en-suite heads, of which the one in the guest cabin featuring double doors to be used also as day bath. The airy l-shaped galley also distinguishes itself for its functional space offering a double wash basin worktop, and a well sized fridge freezer. The main deck saloon offers a c-shaped settee which can transform to a double berth thanks to the adjustable table, the helm station to starboard, and l-shaped unit. A crew cabin aft is also available. Power for Apreamare 44 is by twin Cummins of 480hp or 550hp, which give top speeds from 30 up to 32 knots.

New Model: Apreamare 64 Fly

Apreamare reinvents the traditional Gozzo again, this time not in a so big way as it did in its glorious past, but by offering a flybridge version to its 64 feet model. Obviously this new 64 feet Fly, keeps the excellent layout of the standard version 64, flagship of the Gozzo range and a redevelopment of the Apreamare 60. Distinct features of this model are the bow area with the much appreciated U-shaped sofa, and the stern area, which is the project's key point, thanks to its unique design which from a relaxing settee transforms into a sundeck, blending perfectly with the lines of the hull. Hallmark of the 64 Fly, is obviously represented by the added flybridge, with its second helm station to port, a c-shaped settee to starboard and a two person sun lounger looking aft. Below we have the marvelous 3 cabin 3 head layout with an aft crew cabin, and spacious full beam owners cabin which also features a spacious relaxing bath tub. The materials used for the furniture are extremely natural and classic, with a predominance of shiny and matt mahogany, Viennese straw and mirrored, chrome plated and steel hardware
