New Model: Centouno Navi Vespro 16.70 m

For the 2023 Cannes Yachting Festival, Centouno Navi debuted the launch of its first construction, the semi-custom sixteen meters Vespro, a very fast fifty knots plus open T-top covered sport yacht designed by Marco Arnaboldi and Manuela Lucchesi.  The two architects apart being the designers are also the owners of Centouno, a high end fast sport yacht builder presenting itself in 2022 with the 28m Forza and 39m Eterea projects, and the Vespro announced some months from the larger models, construction starting just after the announcement. The two designers for the Vespro present clean and soft curved lines, futuristic but not sharp minimal, a trend which in the renderings is followed in the larger Centouno sisters.  With this one can say that the Vespro is an open sport yacht of the future, with spacious exterior spaces and an open aft deck, which extends and doubles its size thanks to port and starboard drop down balconies, and a T-top which covers the pilot station and central area of the cockpit.  Over half of the exterior area from the helm station to aft is a wide body, meaning it uses nearly all the available beam, with two left and right stairs leading you to the foredeck sun-pad area.  Down below the Vespro offers a two cabins sleeping four layout, with saloon and galley in between. A traditional arrangement with the exception for the forward master stateroom which features a fore peak shower head in order to centralize the stateroom and using most of the beam available without being in a midships location.  The Centouno Navi Vespro is powered by twin Man 1200hp with MJP jet propulsion, a Marco Arnaboldi specialization who apart being the founder of the go-to jet powered yacht brand is also the architect or consultant for the majority of yachts and fast patrol vessels with jet power.  With Marco Arnaboldi architecting the jet propulsion it is sure not to be disappointed in the performance of the Vespro, and the first Centouno Navi reached speeds of 57 knots, an extra one knot to the declared design speed, a fast cruise of fifty, and a very economic to run six litres per nautical miles 35 knots cruise.  Nothing more to add but impressive numbers!.

Project: Centouno Navi 16.5m Vespro

Following on from its 28m Forza and 39m Eterea projects, Italian sport and super sport yacht builder Centouno Navi, founded by designer and entrepreneur Manuela Lucchesi and naval architect Marco Arnaboldi, presents the 16.5m Vespro project, whose name translates into dusk or twilight in English.  Vespro is a fast sixteen meter sport yacht ideal for day excursions, or as a weekender for two or four persons.  The design and engineering of Vespro is all very high tech from the hull fully dedicated to jet propulsion efficiency, high-end lightweight sandwich construction with Carbon fibers and PVC foam core, and an exterior styling following the classic Open sport yacht but with a cool and contemporary edge. The sides and rear of the deckhouse are unglazed and the windscreen can retract into the coach roof for a full Open en plein air experience. The layout of the exterior aft deck is simple yet functional and flexible, with a large walkaround sun-pad and the fold-down panels in the bulwarks serve to increase the size of the aft deck and swim platform.  The foredeck is easily accessed by walkways on both sides and features another Vee-shaped sun-pad forward.  Under the hardtop is an L-shaped divan with accompanying dining table, facing sofa, bar unit, and central port side offset helm station.  A clever design solution is the the engine room air intakes integrated into the sweeping pillars which support the hardtop.  The accommodation below deck provides for a comfortable ensuite double-berth cabin forward, and a spacious lounge space with galley. There is also the option of another guest cabin behind the stairs leading below deck.  Fitted with twin Man 1200hp engines coupled to MJP waterjets, the 16.5 meter Vespro will have wide open throttle speeds up to 56 knots and a cruise of fifty knots which give a range of 350nm. The first unit of the Centouno Navi Vespro will launch in Summer 2023.

Project: Centouno Navi 28-meter Forza

Centouno Navi is a new super sport yacht builder founded in 2022 by designer Manuela Lucchesi and naval architect Marco Arnaboldi founder and former owner of AB Yachts, who are here giving details for the first project the 28-meter Forza. A custom build to order yacht, Forza is also a highly technological advanced super sport yacht with clean lines, setting new standards from its eco-friendly construction to high performance naval architecture. But in a 28-meter high-tech and speed is half-a-glass and the Forza also offers a standard four double cabins lower deck layout, with two crew cabins sleeping four forward.  Triple Man 2000hp coupled to MJP jet drives power the Forza up to sixty knots of top speed, and a cruise of fifty knots with a promised 70% efficiency to comparable super sport yachts of similar size is estimated to give a five hundred nautical mile range.  Other innovative details of the Forza will be the windshield, which opens forward for easy access to the fore-deck and better air-circulation inside when at anchor.  The Forza also features extendable side bulk-heads aft which expand the bathing beach platform when at anchor, while an additional private sun-deck is also located on top of the hard-top.  According to Centouno Navi website the Forza is available from 27 to thirty meters, with a project for a bigger 40 m Eterea also being announced.
