Boat Review: Baia 70 Italia

Presentation

This month's boat review is one of the most innovative 2007 new models, the Baia 70 Italia. The 70 Italia continues adding more innovative features to the Naples builder line of sports cruisers and yachts. The modernization of the Baia line started in 1998, with the introduction of the now legendary 48 Flash, featuring at the time a unique removable hard top system and continued recently with the 78 Atlantica which the Italia did steal some features from. Still the Italian builder has plenty of numbers and innovations into it's portfolio, of which the most famous is being the first to use renowned Arneson surface drives. The 70 Italia is a striking combination of timeless design, recognizable with the flush deck equals classic, while glass hard top and saloon deck combination transformation making it as modern as you can.

Accommodation

As said, the saloon welcoming deck really makes the 70 Italia a modern boat, thanks to the fully opening patio door system, making saloon and aft cockpit transform into one big entertain deck. Upon boarding the aft exterior cockpit has a central located C-shaped settee, convertible to a sunbed. The interior saloon is made for entertainment divided with a comfortable L-shaped settee to starboard and a spacious wet bat to port. A dual helm station is located forward to the saloon area to starboard, making trips enjoyable and part of the adventure, thanks also to the big windows which give unobstructed views.

Lower deck is reserved for the accommodation area plus the separate galley room. Master cabin in located mid-ship, with a spacious en-suite bathroom featuring also a door separated shower. VIP cabin is located forward also equipped with the personal en-suite. Third double berth guest cabin is located to starboard with its en-suite head featuring in this case a second entrance from the main corridor, in order to be used as day head. Crew cabin is located mid-ship and has two bunk berths and a private head. The location of the crew cabin makes it possible to use it for guests, being in so a good position but also of respectable comfort and size.

Performance

I remember a few years back when boarding a Baia with Arneson surface drives how against most yachts equipped with the same transmission it did ride smooth and in line. One of the problems many builders have when putting this type of propulsion is the dolphin movement, meaning an up and down ride which happens at thirty knots plus speeds. This is something not felt on Baias, showing the high experience they have for surface driven boats and being the first to use it, is most expected one would add. The 70 Italia has two engine options of similar power but with the Cats giving an extra 3 knots of top speed at 52 knots and 2 knots more in cruising at 46 knots versus the German MTU engine. The Cat also has a lower revolution range of 2350. Another surprising data is the low planning speed of the Italia, planning at just 14 knots, a fabulous result for a surface propelled boat which usually with this size and engines, goes up in the high twenties. Low planning speed is a great advantage specially when one encounters not so good weather with heavy heads seas during his trip or crossing as is the case.

Competition
Hard top 21 metre boats have been in high demand recently, and so the offer in such a wealthy size in the last ten years is ten times more then it was. Competition selection criteria was based on high performance of forty knots plus, size 20 - 22 metres, similar three cabin accommodation and a hard top, accept for the wild card, which is totally different but offering similar lifestyle. All the models had surface drives, accept for AB and Wally which have jet transmissions. Italcraft and Abbate had also a different make to Arneson in this case Topsystem and Trimax respectively.
AB 68 - jet power with super handling, high customization 
Bruno Abbate Primatist G70 Aerotop Pininfarina - third cabin bunk, 4 Seatek 47 knots
Fashion 68 - nice exterior, stylish rich inside and spacious
Italcraft 70 Drago - military derived hull guarantees sea qualities, high customization
Magnum 70 - hull.11 with glass HT, top performance sea keeping, 60 knots with big MTUs
Pershing 72 - similar cockpit deck open system, sold out till 2010

WallyPower 73 - future looking as you can, waterjets give 40 knots max
WILD CARD: Mulder 68 Convertible - semi planning 32 knots, classic, sporty, stylish
Conclusion
The Baia 70 Italia scores many points with the most attractive being the opening patio door, making a hard top yacht transform into a big open offshore. Then comes the remaining of the equation, that is the other bonuses of a super luxury sport yacht with a semi custom interior and super high performance, making the Italia fly at around 50 knots. Baia declared 2008 production sold out for the 70 before the closing of Genoa Boat show in October, this is not surprising considering the classic lines of the boat which feature so much modernity in them that can make much of the competition look old.

Boat Review: Cerri 86 FlyingSport

Presentation

The Cerri 86 FlyingSport is our boat review this month, what is a very innovative yacht from a young builder who based his fortunes offering products always ahead of the times. This young company located in Tuscany started it's fortunes in 1997 with what was at the time a different 28 ft sports cruiser, and still today the same spirit is the driving force behind this custom builder, but now in more important bigger size dimensions. The project of the 86 FlyingSport was announced in 2002 and in 2004 hull no.1 was launched to much acclaim from the public. The admiration and success of the FlyingSport could be seen later in time as a famous builder, 1 year after copied the sport flybridge second helm station in a bigger design, surely this was not the only one as others followed afterwards.

Accommodation

The comfort shown in the 86 FlyingSport is truly unique but also different to what a normal 26 metre usually offers. For example the Cerri 86 can offer a maximum of 5 different lounging and dining areas, inside and outside: upper saloon, lower saloon, aft deck, flybridge and forward deck. 5 years behind, we can say the most innovative and copied, is the one located forward on deck. Another stand out feature is the double saloon area located on different floors, upper and lower deck. The upper saloon reserved mainly for entertainment is located upon entrance on the main deck and the principal dining saloon area is located on the lower deck.

The standard lower deck, sleeping accommodation plan is a 5 double cabin layout. Even here the 86 Flying Sport continues to show its pedigree of privacy with a separate owners area forward with 2 double cabins and a Master cabin, all with private en-suites heads and a VIP area located aft, featuring a good sized VIP cabin and a double bunk cabin to starboard. A double crew cabin is located forward. This is a standard layout and all 8 delivered boats have had different plans showing the fully customization of this project from the builder.

Performance
Another big plus for the 86 FlyingSport is the performance, which can match those of the fastest thoroughbred sport yachts in the market today. Performance are to say the least, impressive, and on the top end of the market, even the small double MTUs 1800hp give a respectable 40 knots, with the fastest option being the latest light weight MTU 2400hp giving an impressive 50 knots top speed. Propulsion is from high speed Arneson Surface Drives, with a matching hull designed on purpose for this transmission giving the best efficiency for the type of fast navigation.

The innovation of this product shows how much forward looking Cantieri Cerri is with some important builders only now trying to catch this design philosophy, but I am sure more to come in the future.

Morgan 93 - lobster yacht, 29 knots top, small fly but plenty outdoor space

Pershing 90 - no helm but lounging area on upper fly deck

Princess V85 - January launch with similar concept, less customization 4 cabins

Sunseeker 92 Predator Sport - still in project, watch for more information

WILD CARD: Overmarine Mangusta 92 - no fly, best sold big open HT

Conclusion

Carlo Cerri and the 86 FlyingSport truly captured a new way of thinking and created a generation of yachts, offering something fresh and clever. Calling it innovative only for its upper flying bridge second helm station is a minus to the 86 FlyingSport, as it has so many smart ideas, that give so much more compared to other similar sized yachts, being it open, hard top, flybridge or something in between as the Cerri is. Another bonus is the high performance levels, giving maximum speed from 40 knots upwards depending on engine choice. The big Cerri 86 FlyingSport scores on all marks and offers an innovative design with a spacious 5 cabin interior. It gives real satisfaction also for the many owners who want to helm, which is why its water line length is 23.99 metre, which means it can be helmed by you if certified with a full Yacht Master licence.

Boat Review: Posillipo 65 Technema

Presentation

The Posillipo 65 Technema is the smallest offer from this renowned builder and was presented during the 2002 Genova Boat Show. This model follows the family feeling for this historical Italian brand, with the inimitable Technema hull and it's particular wings and a conservative yet modern superstructure based on the lines of the 70 and 80 models, designed by renowned architect Giovanni Zuccon. It replaced previous 67 Technema in production from 1994 to 2000, which was the first new unit produced by Gianfranco Rizzardi after the take over of Posillipo in 1993.

Accommodation

The smallest of the Technema models has just one duty in it's mind, offering maximum space and comfort in a luxury appointed 3 cabins interior for the owner and his guests delivering the best in spacious environments and comfortable cabins. The interiors follow what is today a common layout with owners cabin located mid ship, VIP cabin forward and the third guest cabin with two single berths located to starboard in between. All cabins are equipped with there own en-suite heads, with particular spaciousness and superior size for the master and VIP cabin with both featuring a bidet but also a separate shower. A separate 2 berth crew cabin is located forward for maximum privacy for the guests and crew.

The living area of the 65 is also equipped of what is an area of high comfort in a classic two floor area. A big c-shaped saloon fully equipped for socializing and entertainment welcomes you to the inside of the motor yacht, while a second c-shaped settee located forward to starboard of the main deck is the dining area which is joined to port by the main interior helm station. The galley on the standard version is a separate offer as preferred by Southern European clients, but if preferred it can be ordered in an open layout.

The exterior spaces offer a spacious aft deck giving the feeling of a much bigger boat, as do the deep all around side decks. The flybridge area has a spacious c-shaped dining area for Al-fresco dining while a 2 person medium sized sunbed is located forward of the settee to port. While the showed plans offer the standard layout, Posillipo offers a high range of customization and can be ordered to request unlike most of the competition in this size range.

Performance
The Technema hull is renowned for superior sea keeping standards over other deep vee shapes, and is a status symbol of Italian design being introduced by Posillipo in the early eighties with aggressive profiles accentuated by the stylish wings which give a particular dry ride without the need of a high ride. The 65 Technema hull shape is a deep vee, with a 13 degrees aft dead rise offering distinctive performance with top speeds of 33 knots and a continuous cruising of 28 knots, giving a range of 330 nautical miles with the bigger engines option.

Competition
High competition in this size range, showing just how much demand has been growing. If one had to look back ten, fifteen years you would have had a smaller and different builders list with only Italians and USA builders. One thing striking tough is how much the Italian influence shows up in this size, not only as the main brands for this type of yachts but also the design influence they have had over the years. It is really clear to passionate people who have a certain experience to them, just how much the Italian design shows up, with the little exclusion being for the Hatteras 64.
Aicon 64 Flybridge - the Sicilian attack, close call to perfection, 4 cabins option
Astondoa A 66 GLX - Spanish build, Italian design, spacious saloon
Azimut 62 Evolution - low profile sport flybridge, open plan saloon
Carnevali 65 - all around curved looks, plenty of different layouts options
Dominator 68 - modern design with classic conception, plenty layouts to choose

Horizon 64 Elegance - semi planning hull, tender garage
Fairline 68 Squadron - latest comer from UK, big flybridge and master cabin with office
Ferretti 630 - classic modern, galley area aft of the saloon makes it a winner
Hatteras 64 Motor Yacht - USA med touch, feels big, 4 cabin option
Fipa Maiora 20 - classic, similar concept with Posillipo but higher customization
Princess 67 - another British contender with great clean looks
Sunseeker 60 Manhattan - 64 ft overall, main saloon all for entertainment
Uniesse 65 MY - 2007 model saloon with 3 areas, 4 cabin is standard
VZ 64 - replaced classic VZ18 in 2006, space is luxurious and welcoming
WILD CARD: Mochi 64 Dolphin Flybridge - lobster flybridge, spacious aft cockpit space
Conclusion

The Posillipo 65 Technema really ticks the boxes where it matters most, with generous performance and a bigger boat feel which is for sure one of it's higher selling criteria. Surely it is not the most innovative motor yacht in the twenty metre range, but Posillipo yacht buyers are usually the type of experienced yachtsman who have seen it all and done most, and are more looking for a timeless classic conservative design that is out of the actual fashion schemes and does not feel dated after the next fashion trend.

Boat Review: Intermare 36 Fly

Presentation
So after some critics from some friends that PowerYacht is too much of the bigger boats, although that is not the case as it is mostly the market which is pushing in that direction, I decided this month to have a better view of a medium sized flybridge cruiser the Intermare 36 Fly. Presented in the 2006 Genova boat show this new Intermare is an interesting entry medium level boat with an overall length of 38 feet. For interested parties Intermare also offers a hard top version named the 36 Cruise, obviously missing the flybridge and second helm station up top.
Accommodation

Medium sized family cruisers of 30 feet plus have been the building foundation of the Intermare brand in the last decade and the 36 Fly is all about being a comfortable family cruiser. It offers 2 cabins both with double berth, with the master stateroom located forward. A separate single shower head is located to port. The saloon located on the main deck features an L-shaped settee with a hidden counter top galley located opposite to the settee to port. The interior helm station with a single seat is situated forward of the L-shaped settee in the saloon area to starboard.

Being a Med based producer the exterior space is pretty good considering the small dimensions of the 36 Fly, offering a very spacious aft deck cockpit, a big bathing platform which can hold a tender and a comfortable fly bridge up top. The fly area is very smart offering a small c-shaped settee, sun pad and a single seated helm station.

Performance
Intermare is renowned for seaworthy boats, and the fact that this model uses tradition shaft driven engines confirms this. The Intermare is also very economical to run with the Yanmar engines which deliver among the best power to weight but also a very good power to consumption levels.

Positive

Competition
As I said in my introduction this size of boat is very much pretty much abandoned by most of the builders, or to be precise by the companies who build a solid reputation around this size of craft in the eighties and nineties. Still if one looks closely at the market there is a handful of new comers but also some old builders who consider this size of utmost importance to there production. Here is what you have to look for:
DellaPasqua DC10S - classic squarish look, seaworthy, big inside with 2 heads
Jeanneau 36 Prestige - more space, similar in size and style

Portofino 37 Fly - gozzo evolution, bunk guest cabin, rich finish, deep around deck

Rodman 38 Yacht - big interior accommodation thanks to IPS propulsion

Sciallino S34 Flybridge - Gozzo modern function, interesting and spacious

Searay 36 Sedan Bridge - spacious, 2 huge cabins 1 head but owner walk in wardrobe

Sealine F37 - spacious, huge galley, 2 big cabins and also 2 heads
WILD CARD: Riviera 3600 Sport Yacht - hard top, patio door opens all, bunk 2nd cabin
Conclusion
The Intermare 36 Fly gives a lot of goods of form and function for an only 38 foot flybridge cruiser. Gone are the days when owning a boat this size was like having a ship, but I am sure that for people trading up this is still the case! Today there is less status symbolism in this dimension, so builders compete on the practical, trying to put a lot in the available size. Sure this was never easy and competition is always as heavy as it ever was. The 36 Fly wins the game if you want a sport looking flybridge boat that does not look heavy: extended fly, extended platform and spacious cockpit all say, I am made for the Med but this is not the only reason for having a look at this good looking flybridge cruiser.

Boat Review: Ferretti 510

Presentation

Making it's first official presentation debut during the Cannes Boat Show of 2007, the new Ferretti 510 evolves the Zuccon designed line to new ambitions. Following on the exterior lines of the much praised 630 model, the new 510 has the difficult task of replacing two Ferretti models in one, the 500 and Ferretti's most successful model to date the 53-530 which has been in production for 10 years, and sold over one hundred units.

Accommodation
The 510 follows much of the innovation the 630 model offered, not only outside in the window design but also inside. The saloon of the 510 features the much praised aft looking galley which becomes part of a spacious entertaining area thanks to Ferretti's renowned folding window system. Another important news and much asked feature is the full beam owner's cabin which surely feels of a much bigger yacht then the sixteen metres we have here. It also does not compromise space in the other cabins, with no bunk or squeezed in third cabin and VIP cabin forward, which is also a spacious offer.

Outside the 510 continues on the huge spaces which this builder has got us used to, like a spacious cockpit but also one of the most spacious flybridge area which is not disturbed by any radar arch as this is located aft at the tip of the fly area, in order to make the best use of space up top.

Performance

Ferretti Yachts have always what I call a better performing quality ride which is among the best in its size and style of yacht. It's variable deep vee of 14.6 degrees aft is Ferretti evolving hull design giving the best cruising speeds at 25 knots plus, a target which most owners found satisfactory, especially for the long one hundred nautical miles plus trips. She is also one of the heaviest boat in this size, with a loaded weight of 28 tons but still performs well with not so big MAN engines giving a top speed of 32 knots and cruising speeds of 28 knots. Rather good considering the twin Man 800 HP and the weight of this flybridge motor yacht.

Competition

Ferretti have always been up on top, of the wish list for most buyers in this size and I am sure the new 510 will continue this tradition. When choosing the competition, in this highly competitive size and type of flybridge fifteen to sixteen metres yacht, we added the full beam owners cabin, which is becoming so much sought for in this size of craft. This is the competition you should have a look for:

Astondoa A 52 GLX - modern design, bunk third cabin, sleek flybridge

Horizon 54 Elegance - third cabin aft, feels spacious outside, semi-planning hull

Intermare 50 - hybrid fly open model, small fly and bunk third cabin

Princess 50 mk.3 - revamped with full beam cabin, galley down and dining area forward

Rodman 54 Muse - no bunk, spacious yacht but is also a bit bigger

Sealine T 50 - as all Sealine it feels and is big, bunk third cabin

Sunseeker 52 Manhattan - new model, galley down for more saloon space

Uniesse 53 MY - quality construction ride, two layouts full beam owners suite or no

WILD CARD: Riva 54 SportRiva - hybrid sport fly, 3 cabins no mid-ship full beam

Conclusion

The Ferretti 510 does score where it is needed and as most models from the Forli located Italian shipyard does tend to become a class leader in it's size dimension. You will definitely like the Ferretti for it's light inside, thanks to the huge windows but also for the use of light coloured oak wood. Feretti's have in our opinion one of the best quality standards at this size with a spotless caring design of form and function which does feel reassuring as it is not just stylish, it works perfect and in harmony.

Boat Review: Menorquin MY 160 Hardtop

Presentation
Founded in 1978, Menorquin offers a line of semi-displacement cruisers and yachts from 10 to 18 metres based on the traditional Spanish fishing boat available in the various open, hardtop and flybridge versions. PowerYacht presents you the second largest model off the range the MY 160 Hardtop, which is also available in flybridge and standard form which differs from the hardtop by not having a rigid extended cover for the cockpit.
Accommodation

Finished in classic all wooden style interior the Menorquin MY 160 unlike outside, is available in only one version with 3 cabins offering a 6 berth sleeping accommodation. A spacious master cabin with en-suite shower head is located forward. Two guest cabins of moderate dimensions are located to port mid ship of the lower deck and are a VIP cabin located aft of the accommodation deck and the third cabin with 2 single L-shaped guest berths. Guest head is located fore to starboard. A small L-shaped settee and a spacious L-shaped galley located to port of the accommodation deck entrance complete the sleeping area. An optional small crew cabin is available on request forward.

The enclosed upper deck divided by a sliding patio door from the cockpit offers a spacious L-shaped saloon settee to port with the pilot house to starboard. Outside is the other living part of any Menorquin model, showing its Mediterranean boating heritage by offering spacious all around deck. The 160 with its important dimensions continues this philosophy with high bulwark covered side decks and spacious cockpit. In this hardtop version the aft cockpit also enjoys a rigid cover offering good protection from the sun and bad weather.

Performance

The MY 160 Hardtop offers a very stable semi-displacement hull particularly studied to plane when cruising at 10 knots plus of speed. The high vertical bow shows sign of a solid seaboat and the impression is confirmed when navigating in the tough. The Menorquin also offers a fabulous 15 knot cruising speed which is just fast enough for comfortable crossings. Is this not the speed that one uses in many of the rough tough head seas!

Positive

Negative moderate sized guest cabins

Competition Typical as it is finding the right competition for the Menorquin is not easy business, it is either you like or you don't! The classic Spanish fishing boat lines have something special which are very difficult to understand. This is what to look for, but consider each of the mentioned alternative as a wild card selection if the Menorquin is to you tastes:

Apreamare 54 - fast 30 knot hull, fishing boat based but from Naples

Grandbanks 52 Heritage EU - US style trawler, flybridge, similar speed

Nordhavn 50 - full displacement, US trawler, flybridge, super 2800 NM range

Sciallino 15.95mt Gemy - low speed planning hull, Liguria fishing boat heritage

WILD CARD: Estensi 530 Maine - modern classic, super comfort, low speed planning

Conclusion

The Mernorquin MY 160 Fly has something particular thanks to the Spanish Gozzo design which has the affect "look at me I am different". But the Menorquin is not only about this and it offers a very impressive package like the comfortable slow fast 15 knots cruising speed, spacious interior accommodation and superb deck space confirming its Mediterranean heritage would all make for an interesting choice. The other bonus is the competitive price and its optimum navigation and reduced maintenance costs which is lower fuel bills for a boat of this size. The last thing which does hold a high important factor when one purchases a boat of this size and value is the presence, and the Menorquin MY 160 Hardtop has loads of it!

Boat Review: Magnum 70 Sport

Presentation

Stretched version of the Magnum 63, the Magnum 70 is the evolution in size but also in comfort for the prestigious American brand. Advised by many experts as one of the best powerboats and poweryachts ever built, Magnum was founded in 1966 by Don Aronow and immediately became a status symbol of American Boat construction and reliability when the 27 and 35 both became World Offshore champions in Open Class Racing. As the recent models of the line the Magnum 70 was designed by Pininfarina and is available in 3 different versions: Sport, Hardtop and Flybridge. Obviously our attention goes to the successful Sport version which is all about Magnum heritage from head to tow.

Accommodation
Standard interior layout for the 70 is a spacious 3 double cabin offer. A spacious Master cabin is situated forward and all cabins feature en-suite heads. The saloon is located mid-ship and features a spacious C-shaped settee to port with a stylish cabinet unit opposite. A galley is located separately to starboard. A separate 2 berth crew cabin with shower head is located forward with entrance from a hatch on deck. Still this layout can be taken as it is, as Magnum offers a custom approach to all it's new builds where clients desires are placed first, so one can modify inside as he wishes.
The Cockpit of the Magnum is open as you can get with a huge central sunbed aft, c-shaped settee to starboard, wet-bar to port and the fully equipped racing style helm to starboard. Magnum has on standard layout a mentality of spacious spaces rather then plenty of beds or cabinets in it's boats, something which is to like if you use it a lot and is very different to recent trend in most similar sized sport yachts.

Performance

Deep V-hull with 25 degrees aft, superb ride with surface drives giving 52 knots of top speed. Magnum are renowned as the best in the class for there performance and sea handling and this fame is not build in a day but in forty years of successful seaworthy and strong boats constructed. The 70 hull shape is a further extension and development from the successful 63, a winning powerboat sport yacht who two times won the Miami Nassau Miami. The 63 reached speeds over 80 mph in these races, beating smaller but also much faster boats. The Magnum 70 at 21 meters feels easy to drive and most of all gives a sense of speed and safety very few boats manage to achieve. Try it to believe it.

Competition

If you are looking for a 21 meters sport yacht with an open cockpit no enclosed hardtop and surface drives there is very little to look nowadays. Future competition might come from the Itama 70 Seventy which might offer the right competition mix to this now abandoned market sector cause of the more requested integrated hardtop. Here is what you can look for:

Baia 70 Italia - hardtop opens all, semi-custom, Arneson drives

Bruno Abbate Primatist 70 G Aerotop Pininfarina - hardtop design, Trimax Buzzi drives

Italcraft 70 Drago - not fully enclosed ht available, Top System surface drives, seaworthy

Pershing 72 - new 2007, enclosed but hydraulics open as you wish, Arneson drives

WILD CARD: WallyPower 73 - modern, alternative, jet powered, glass hardtop

Conclusion

People choose Magnum most of all for its superb ride in the tough and for one of the best handling with the Arneson surface drives. Magnum where among the first to use the Arneson Drives back in the eighties and I am sure there experience in this type of transmission was made to good use. Pininfarina Design continued the heritage of the classic lines for this brand, but added softer lines like the windshield and aggressive touches in the air intakes on deck and in the sides which have USA classic written over them. The Magnum 70 is a performing sport yacht but is also comfortable and still offers very good accommodation inside and outside which would is hard to believe when you see the lines of this 21 meters sport yacht.

Boat Review: Fiart 34 Genius

 

Presentation

The Fiart 34 Genius is the latest new model from the famous Naples, Bay of Baia boat builder who is credited for building the first GRP boat in Europe. This new model was presented in October 2006 during the Genova boat show and replaces the 32 previously 30 Genius, after 15 years of production. The lines of this new model continue the evolution of the latest Fiart style which started in 1998 with the 40 Genius and include the usual design which is a bit unique compared to competing brands, thanks to the flush deck, huge cockpit and spacious bathing platform. The 34 follows many themes shown on the Genius models and is a very spacious boat with a sportive low profile hull line for what is a 10 metres sports cruiser, hence the title Genius for Genie.

Accommodation

The interior for the 34 Genius is a comfortable offer featuring 2 separate double cabins, separate shower head, convertible settee dinette and well sized galley. Both cabin berths are in longitude position to the hull of the boat, offering better accommodation especially when the boat is anchored and going with the direction of the wind and waves. The interior finish is light colored wood furniture which give a greater sense of space to the already spacious volumes.

Cockpit space offers a dual 2 helm seat, a complete wet bar to port and a big C-shaped settee aft. Which if desired can convert to an 8 person + dining area or a huge sunbed. What is nice about the outside cockpit is the airy environment which feels a lot spacious then what actually is.

Performance

Fiart boats are renowned for there comfort in all senses, and the performance handling area is no exception. The variable deep vee hull with a very generous deep forward entry calls for a very solid boat in demanding conditions. Performance levels are also very good with the average sized Volvo D4 2 x 225 HP engines giving 37 knots of maximum speed. Cruising speeds stands at 30 knots with 3000 RPM but a superb economic cruising speed of 21 knots is available at only 2500 RPM. The boat gets on the plane at 2000 RPM doing 13 knots of speed.

Positive

spacious cockpit

Negative

Competition

If you are looking for a 10 metres sport cruiser the market has plenty to offer. The ever going American builders offer over 10 models on there own. Cut the list for a 2 separate cabin interior request and the list reduces itself to only European builders, showing the different mentality of boating across the ocean in the size type of craft.

Airon Marine 345 - spacious 3 berth cabin aft, comfortable cockpit, well refined

Arturo Stabile 33 Stama - well sized cockpit and platform, refined interior

Bruno Abbate Primatist G 36 - fast hull, cockpit with separate sunbed

Elan Power 35 - hard top, good bathing platform but small cockpit

Atlantis Gobbi 35 - nice modern light oak interior, practical cockpit, electric bimini

Ilver 34 Thesi - in production for 10 years +, well refined especially exterior fittings

Innovazioni Progetti 34 Mira - wide beam, spacious cockpit and interior

Jeanneau 34 Prestige Open - good deck cockpit platform connection

Rio 35 Cruiser - huge platform, good cockpit and interior, also available with shafts

Sealine S 34 - spacious interior, will be replaced by new SC 35 coming fall

WILD CARD: Portofino 10 Spider - classic lines with modern deck, alternative but timeless

Conclusion Choosing a Fiart? If you ask this question to a Neapolitan the answer would be a so easy yes. And it is very easily understood that if you boat in the med, it is hard beating a so much good overall sports cruiser as the Genius. The 34 in fact is spacious but most of all feels so thanks to its extreme airy and spacious environment. Something which is so missing in today's boats especially the medium or small sized entry level offers. The Genie has it all, good performance from not so big engines and space in every part weather it is inside, outside or the engine room, makes sure it is a winner in its class.

Boat Review: Alfamarine 58

Presentation

Presented in the 2002 season, the Alfamarine 58 is an eighteen metre classic styled fully open sports yacht much loved by the Central and South Italian customer. But not only as classic open yachts are lately getting higher market rating. Classic in lines and design, the Alfamarine 58 is an evolution of the 55 launched in 1990 with a completely renewed stern and deck, and changed radar arch windscreen design. Performing to the limits for a sport yacht, the Alfamarine 58 is full of modern design solutions, based on one of the best deep Vee hulls in its size.

Accommodation

The exterior of this yacht speaks for the inside, as we have what is a classic interior layout with three cabins all with there own separate head. Master cabin is forward and two identical guest cabins feature mid ships with twin in line parallel berths each. Interior dining area is a comfortable C-shaped settee to starboard. Galley is to port and is hidden by clean wooden top, becoming invisible when the cooking is over. A crew cabin with shower head is located aft.

Outside cockpit space is one of the winners for the 58, featuring a C-shaped settee to starboard, one of the most spacious in this size dimensions. An exterior wet bar and galley is located to port, just behind the comfortable dark blue finished helm station. A four person sunbed is located aft. While another sunbed is located forward on deck. Tender stowage is on the bathing platform.

Performance

The Alfamarine hull and 58 in particular is designed around the highly rated Renato Sonny Levi and Franco Harrauer deep V-design. If you want head turning performance I suggest you take the optional surface drive and big 1360hp engine option, which allow for a 48 knots max speed.  But the standard Caterpillar 1000hp engines and shafts set up still give a nice 36 knots of top speed with thirty knots cruising. Sea keeping in both versions is excellent with shaft drives handling big heads seas easier thanks to the lower starting planning speed these deliver. Still the Arneson surface drives would handle most solutions in the best of manners and also provide for better fuel economy at fast cruise which equals to an extended range.

Positive

superb performing hull

cockpit space and comfort

Negative

railing as optional

Competition

Competition in the open sport yacht seventeen to eighteen meter segment is ever increasing, but when you want something looking timeless and classic the result comes down to a few builders.  Criteria here is for open style no hard sport yacht, and three cabins.  

Baia 54 Aqua - similar layout but more modern, flush deck, only with surface drives

Dalla Pieta DP 58 - modern design, only shaft drives, spacious crew or 4th guest cabin aft

Gianetti 55 Sport - extra 4th double cabin aft, very comfortable inside

Italcraft X 54 - 3rd cabin aft, nice cockpit layout, good hull and performance

Itama 55 FiftyFive - real classic yacht, similar layout with spacious galley

Sarnico 58 - aft third cabin, spacious interior saloon

Uniesse 57 Open - American sportfish style with Italian flair, comfortable cockpit

WILD CARD: Magnum 60 Furio - two cabins + crew, surface drives performance

Conclusion

The Alfamarine is a classic sports yacht for those who don't like to have a fashion boat, but something which is timeless and always good looking without forgetting modern design solutions as adapted in most of today's boats in this size dimension. If this is what you want I suggest you have a good look at the Alfamarine 58.

Boat Review: Italcraft 95 Maxi Drago

Presentation

The 95 Maxi Drago is the first new model from the legendary Italcraft brand, presented under the belts of the new owners, the Inrizzardi Group. Italcraft is the nautical brand which in it's history in the seventies and eighties presented some of the most important technical innovations for motorboats, which to this day have become standard design fixtures. Innovations like tunnel propellers, surface drives and the variable deep vee hull where some of the most popular inventions which look very common in today's crafts but are all credit to this legendary Italian builder, who was never afraid of pushing the limits. The 95 Maxi Drago model which at this time is the biggest from the yard, continues to shout performance with classic design touches for the South Lazio region marque and is a success in an ever increasing competitive market segment.

Accommodation

The standard layout for the 95 Maxi Drago is a 4 cabin offer all with independent en-suite shower head for a total of 8 berth sleeping accommodation for the owner and his guests. A full beam owners cabin is located mid ship, VIP cabin forward and 2 guest cabins in between. Surprisingly also for a 4 cabin offer there is a lower saloon to port and a home size galley to starboard. Crew quarters are located further aft with a total of 4 berths and a separate entrance, concluding the standard form of the lower deck.

The upper deck is the heart for the Maxi Drago with a spacious bar area to port which creates a spacious entertainment area thanks to the C-shaped saloon settee to starboard. The helm station is located in the centre and an L-shaped settee is located to port in order for the guests to enjoy the trip and views during the navigation of the yacht. A spacious deck and outside entertaining area compliments the interior saloon.

Performance

Based on the Corrubbia Class Military vessel, which has already been delivered in 20 models the Maxi Drago has as safe a ride as you can get and one of the best sea handling super yachts available to the market today. Hull Designer Gianluca Caputi designer for the hull and superstructure for the Maxi Drago and for all models of the current Italcraft range says it best, when declaring a superior standard which guarantees superior sea keeping quality of the hull, performance levels and a top construction standard present in the Italcraft yachts. Noting that all models are usually tested in the Military field before going to the recreational sector, he has a point as very few yachts in the market do perform such a solid testing before going to the market.

Positive

sea keeping qualities

deck arrangement

Negative

not complete high bulwark

Competition

Competition in the open hard top super yacht 27 to 30 metre segment is ever increasing, which apart from the under mentioned alternative offers to the Italcraft, three other important projects from different builders are in line for future presentation. Add to that the other projects from the custom builders and you come with a much bigger list, seeing the big competition in this market segment today. Here is what you should give a look before deciding:
AB Yachts 92 - jet propulsion with superb handling and performance, 56 knot top speed
Arno Leopard 27 - classic timeless hard top design by Paolo Caliari
Canados 90 Open - innovative ultra modern glass hard top with wide body saloon area

Couach 2800 Open - also a military derivation hull, good sea keeping

Overmarine Mangusta 92 Open - the best seller model for this size range

Pershing 90 - the silver bullet, benchmark in innovative design and style

Tecnomar 90 Velvet - tailor made for the client

WILD CARD: Azimut 98 Leonardo - a flybridge sport coupe now in it's second generation

Conclusion

The 95 Maxi Drago is a superb open hardtop super yacht which brings together a timeless innovative design but with a big open eye to what regards safety and superlative sea keeping capabilities derived directly from unstoppable military testing. If your aim is to have a comfortable yacht when the going gets tough there is no doubt the Maxi Drago will be on the top of your list, still this is only one of the reasons, as the finishing standard, luxury comfort and a full customization tailor made for the clients makes this fast super sport yacht as one of the best in it's class.

Boat Review: Rizzardi 63 Hard Top

Presentation
Hard Top version for the successful 63 Topline, the Rizzardi 63 Hard Top was presented during the Naples Nauticsud Boatshow of 2005.  Offering customers and Rizzardi open brand fans a requested and practical all weather three part hard top on the classic contemporary lines of the Topline range. This new version for the 63 also offered different cockpit and interior layouts with a more minimal approach to the previous design and a more spacious third cabin.
Accommodation
Four different interior layouts are available for the Rizzardi 63, showing a real semi custom approach for the buyer and not just a selection of materials and colours as is the case in many production yachts of this size. Three of the available layouts are three cabin versions and a small crew cabin forward,  with a four cabin version plus crew something unusual in this size and type of yacht being available.  The four cabin version is an interesting layout especially if one has an interest in the charter market or has a big family to cater for and really does not feel the need for a bigger yacht to nineteen meters. 

The standard 63 Hard Top layout is a three spacious double cabins offer as pictured in blue below.
The interior accommodation features a very spacious owner-master cabin forward, second guest cabin to starboard of impressive size and VIP cabin aft with separate entrance from the cockpit. The aft VIP cabin feature is a really big bonus especially when inviting guests on board, as it really gives a real meaning to privacy both for guests and the owner alike. All cabins feature private en-suite heads with separate shower cubicle of good dimensions. Saloon has an adequate sized L-shaped settee. A medium sized fully equipped galley concludes the interior layout.

All Rizzardi 63 layouts. The no.4 blue colored layout is the standard hardtop interior version.
Performance
The Rizzardi 63 Hard Top has one of the driest rides in the category without having a high freeboard bow. Using the famous Technema derived hull with it's huge winged spay chine is a sure to keep water away in most conditions and provides also good lifting aid. Another good news are the central, perfectly positioned engines which should give easy planning to the 63 and huge stability especially with head seas. A small disadvantage for this solution will be less steering handling proficiency then V-dive or U-drive powered boats with aft positioned engines and tunnel propellers like most of the offers from the British builders. Think personally of what you prefer from a 19 metre power yacht? Making tight curves around the buoys with super handling steering ability or a more solid ride in rough weather. Top speed as declared by the manufacturer is 38 knots from twin Man 1100hp at 2300 rpm with fast cruiseat 33 knots at 2100 rpm, this give a range of 320 Nautical Miles.
Positive
Interior layout options
Standard spacious 3rd cabin in standard layout

Spacious x 3 heads (bathrooms)

Flush deck forward
Negative
Small Galley in standard interior layout

Optional High Safety Railing
Competition
Huge competition in the 18/19 metre Hard Top Sports Yachts with standard shaft driven propulsion. The thee famous British names all have there different offer and so do other major Italian and USA builders. Four cabins option makes the Rizzardi 63 Hard Top unique. Still the three cabins layout is one of the most spacious available in the range and in many of the competition the third cabin or is small or in bunk beds layout. Here is the main competition:

Aicon 62 Open - patio door, three cabin interior, all round deck.

Azimut 62 S - patio door, optional third cabin

Dalla Pieta DP 58 HT - spacious crew or guest fourth cabin aft

Fairline 62 Targa Gran Turismo - patio door, cockpit saloon style layout, crew cabin

Ilver 58 Vista - crew cabin option, cabin area with galley, saloon on main deck

Princess V65 - patio door, two social areas on cockpit, small third cabin, crew cabin option

Riva 63 Vertigo - crew cabin option aft, L-shape bunk third cabin, unique style

Sarnico 60 - crew cabin option, singles cabin aft with VIP and Master cabin forward

Searay 60 Sundancer - patio door, small third cabin option, well sized galley

Sunseeker 62 Predator - patio door, small bunk third cabin

Tecnomar 20 Velvet - patio door, twin saloon upper deck, semi custom

WILDCARD: Baia 63 Azzurra - surface drive 40 plus knots speed, three cabins plus crew forward  
Conclusion
Classic timeless lines are the theme for the Rizzardi 63 Hard Top and are part of the unique character of this sports yacht. Details like the curved windscreen, forward leaning style hardtop and the unique flush deck all have vintage written all over them. Future design touches are the unique Technema hull lines, well designed stern layout with the extended platform and nice stairs on both sides. Practical solutions are the recess aft for the mooring winches and cleats and the visible air intakes on the side for the engines just under the deck. This last a design trademark of the Toplines since the first of the range, the 53 which was presented in 1992. If one likes a conservative classic looking sport yacht outside and engineering wise but with brilliant modern solutions and options inside choosing the 63 Hard Top will be easy, but if you are looking for a more modern looking sports yacht, then may be you should look somewhere else before viewing a Rizzardi 63 Hard Top. .

Boat Review: Bruno Abbate Primatist G46 Aerotop Pininfarina

Presentation

Presented last Summer during the Bruno Abbate Summer event The Primatist trophy, the new G46 is the offer for the mid size market from this famous builder coming out of Lake Como, Italy. After the G70 Aerotop Pininfarina, the Turin design house continues the work with the new high end G Aerotop line for Bruno Abbate. With the G46, Pininfarina continues the trend shown on the larger sister, reinterpreting the idea for a 46 feet sports cruiser with hardtop in an elegant and streamline design, calling speed and performance with class.

Accommodation

This has to be one of the best offers in a fourteen metre sports cruiser for what is interior accommodation. She offers comfortable accommodation for six in three separate cabins, in what has to be one of the most smart, intelligent and alternative layouts in the hard top sports cruiser category today. The layout is spacious and intelligent, featuring a full beam mid ship master cabin complete with en-suite head, a VIP guest cabin forward and a very intelligent third cabin with 2 bunk beds. This wise third cabin if desired can be converted to a part of the saloon, thanks to a large sliding door and convertible settee adjustment. Calling it genius is the least you can do here. Galley which is the weak point of the G46 is located outside in the cockpit and is of adequate dimensions.

Performance

The hull of the G 46 is a variable geometry deep V-hull with a 50 degrees angle forward and closing at 22 degrees aft. Top speed as declared by the manufacture is 36 knots with the 2 x 435hp Volvo IPS600 at 3500 rpm. Cruising is 31 knots at 3200 rpm and economical cruising is 26 knots at 3000 rpm. Range is over 9 hours with economical cruising speed. She is also one of the few boat's today to have been fully constructed and projected around the IPS system. While many boats are using this efficient propulsion system, there are very few hulls projected around this concept.

Positive

Interior layout

3rd cabin transform feature

Negative
Galley only on main deck

Competition

Many offers in the 13-14 metres hardtop sports cruisers. If you include all hardtop coupe models available you will have a list of about 20 marques, seeing the growing trend and demand for this type of craft in this size. Start adding the plus of the G46, 3 cabins and IPS drive system and the list is reduced for 2 other boats only, and surprising both from Italy and from the Lake Como area as Bruno Abbate. Talk about liking the hard top design, innovative propulsion system and plenty of berths inside.

The Airon Marine 4300 T-Top and Blu Martin 1390 Seatop are as close the competition can get with the G46. Both these models are available with the Volvo IPS, but can also be fitted in alternative with stern drives or shaft driven propulsion, unlike the G46 which is only offered with Volvo's Inboard Propulsion System. They also have the option of a two or a three cabin interior layout, but this in the G46 is standard thanks to a very smart third cabin.

Conclusion

Bruno Abbate Primatist G 46 Aerotop Pininfarina is a step ahead of the competition. She is one of the few fourteen metres hard top sports cruiser in the market featuring 3 cabins without giving up a full beam owners cabin. Then it features the innovative power from the IPS System by Volvo, which saves you about 40% in fuel bills, compared to a conventional shaft driven system. How about saving the environment and your pockets. The G46 also rewrites the way of planning boats for a 13/14 metre dimension and has made good mind of Volvo's highly praised system to the better use of more interior space. In fact to find a real competitor for the G 46 one has to look at bigger boats of over fifteen metres in length.
