Project: Rose Island 16.65 m Giano MkII

Rose Island add another project to its Giano series, what the Italian boat builder refers to MkII model.  Contrary to usual belief the Giano MkII, is not a newer version of the 12 Giano but a totally different bigger model measuring over sixteen meters in length.  The Giano MkII is based on Rose Island's 58 Pathfinder hull and will feature the same innovative semi planning with directional central keel bottom.  The design upwards of the main deck, pilot house is completely new.  The hull shape of the Giano MkII has some interesting numbers going on the plane at just eleven knots and reaching max speeds up to 25 knots powered by only twin 450hp engines.  Rose Island is not giving any layout details for the Giano MkII, still I would expect a three double cabins plus crew cabin on the development of the 58 Pathfinder.

Project: Rose Island 12 Giano

Rose Island has always been very intuitive of market trends, responsible to no small part to the Down East lobster boat success in the Italian market.  Rose Island and its design team; Mario Alfani exterior, Aldo Gatti hull, Fabio Rosa engineering, and boat builder Stefano de Franceschi offer a fresh approach to the Explorer Cruiser presenting the 12 Giano project. A two cabin four berths, with a living on the main deck, the 12 Giano also features an unedited keel shape coupled to an innovative exterior which merge Pilot ship like super structure with a modern ax-bow hull shape.  Interesting looks and content, what strikes in the technical details is the 12 Giano two thousand liter fuel storage capacity which is 30% more to the usual standard in this size.  This allows for a greater range which at a cruise speed of eighteen knots give 440 nautical miles autonomy.

New Model: Rose Island 43 Lobster

Unveiled during the Rose Island Day held at the Genoa Airport Marina the past May, the new 43 Lobster has been a waited model from this builder who was among the first of the Italian builders to produce Traditional down East looking lobster boats back in 2000. The new 43 Lobster sits well in between the long living 38 and 49 models, and is a two cabin with two en suite heads Traditional Cruiser. The owners suite to fore has also a much sought but hard to find separate shower and toilet room. The main deck covered by the hard top of the super structure is the place for the living area with the helm station to fore being joined by a C-shaped dinette for six persons, and a unit with a pop up TV and a disappearing galley. Drawers in the 43 Lobster will also reflect a sea keeping quality with the element of safety similar to that found on long range and sail type boats. Finishing for the interior areas is with solid Pink Cedar, Kaya Mahogany, and Maple hard woods. Power for the 43 Lobster is from twin Fiat Power Train 450hp which should give a 30 knots top speed, and a 500 NM range at the most efficient hull speed. Official presentation for the 43 Lobster will now move to the up coming Genoa and Cannes show held respectively in September and October.

Project: Rose Island 53 Lobster

In occasion of Rose Island tenth birthday celebration at the Genoa Airport Marina this family owned Italian boat builder makes courage for its future, and presents the 53 Lobster project. During this celebration Rose Island also launched hull number one of the new 43 Lobster which we should present you here in a couple weeks. The 53 Lobster will further complete Rose Island range integrating with the other Traditional lobster styled four sisters from 38 to 65 feet, and the 58 Pathfinder explorer yacht model. For the 53 Lobster yard owner engineer Fabio Rosa set his design team for a traditional yacht which can be handled easily without the need for crew. The project follows present Rose Island models where seamanship and classic looks stay first above all other needs. Down below the project renderings show a three double cabin interior with owners suite to fore, two double guest cabins at midship, and a guest shower head. Below is also space for a crew cabin with personal shower head located to midship and having a separate entrance. The main deck is a three split levels zones, which features a welcoming free aft area which says a bit fisherman. Move more to fore and up one step and you have a central settee for three adults with table. A further step up take you inside to the hard top covered area where to port side is an L-shaped galley, helm station, and to starboard is an L-shaped sofa. This area can also be closed with a patio door as optional. Big uncluttered views and natural light also cover the inside pilot house saloon area. Natural solid hard woods and selected leathers will fill the interior to a clean and classic style. As is usual to Rose Island big study has also been done to offer a good hull without the need of too much horse power but still managing good speeds and efficiency. A target total 700 horse power is so far the basis with options of a direct line shaft or Volvo IPS pod propulsion. With this Fabio Rosa is estimating a thirty knots wide open throttle, and on the plane only eleven knots speed which should give added comfort in rough sea conditions.

New Model: Rose Island 65 Lobster

The new Rose Island flagship the 65 Lobster is born from the desire to propose a yacht, which as per tradition of the builder, offers a very usable and easy to love traditional yacht. The project philosophy of the yard maintains the distinctive character of Rose Island Lobster traditional yachts, with classic lines. Rose Island who registered the Lobster trade mark has responsibility to follow tradition compels its project team lead by Eng. Aldo Gatti and supported by the young Architect Marino Alfani who working togather with the yard, had the main objective of finding superior solutions coherent with the historical tradition the yacht refers to. Most attention has been given to navigational comfort and performances, expected to be excellent. The result is a traditional yacht intended as a reference for its size and style with Rose Island also declaring some elements, such as seaworthiness, low consumptions and high range not to be found in the present competitors panorama. 65 Lobster style and decor reflect the Rose Island family feeling and, at the same time, present several elements of refreshing innovation. The Pink Cedar massive for the furniture and the Honduras for the boiserie generate a pleasant and symbiotic contrast with the ivory tapestries giving emphasis to the boat’s charm. The wide saloon, the double pilot seat, the two dining tables, the generous stock of five refrigerators are all thought to offer the maximum comfort on board. The layout was defined after a study of internal volumes, calculated according canonical concepts, with the use of spaces meant to guarantee extensive and airy spaces in the private areas; the nearly central access stair to the lower floor, the bow owner cabin, the luxurious vip and guest cabins in the center carry an air of excellence. All three bathrooms are large and feature a separate shower, along with spacious closets. The private areas allow the owner to live in comfort while respecting the privacy of all aboard. The captain cabin with access trough the kitchen is situated on the lower deck, and has two beds and a separate bathroom. The external space is not to be found on competitor boats in regards with the double seating-basin, the higher one meant as continuation of the saloon and the lower one at stern on the water as large sofa convertible into sun mattress. The walkarounds allow to walk with extreme comfort, guarantee maximum security during maneuvering, and give an easy access to the wide bow sun mattresses. The flying bridge can be purchased on order. The submersible stern platform offers the possibility to comfortably use the tender with the sole use of a button, allows the entrance into and out of water, and simulates a beach. Built as all Rose Island boats to CE A standards, the 65 Lobster is powered by twin MAN 800hp, which can achieve a top speed of 33 knots.

Project: Rose Island 43 Lobster

In so difficult global economic conditions Italian builder Rose Island decides to continue its expansion plans, by presenting the 43 Lobster next project of its Traditional boat range standing in between the long standing 38 and 49 models. Once again Rose Island continues to bet on young designer Marino Alfani, who continues the philosophy which has gave Rose Island so much fortune. Seeing the rendering of this new 43 Lobster project we cannot not notice the classic fashion and timeless elegance which has always been the half part of this builders DNA, with the other being sea keeping, low fuel consumption, long range and performance. In this new 43 Lobster great importance is being given to spacious areas outside and inside. Outside this is easily visible thanks to the superior extended cockpit aft, wide decks, and spacious sunbed on the forward deck. Down below the more space theme continues thanks to the two owner and VIP cabins, both with private en-suite heads. Worth to note and also unusual for a boat of this type and size is the double owners heads. Impressive is also the data, like the estimated performance top speed of 32 knots, with not so big twin 450hp FPT engines pushing this 13 tons cruiser, but also the 2000 litres fuel tank which shows when Rose Island speaks of range it is talking business. Constructed to CE A category and hand crafted, Rose Island owner Engineer Fabio Rosa is a firm believer of two quality visions in boat building: the visible one which is what you can see and touch and the hidden construction standard which he says is impeccable for his jewels.

Project: Rose Island 65 Lobster

The 65 Lobster by Rose Island, is the review of the 60 Lobster project presented in 2001 and will be the biggest build so far from this Italian company. Founded in 1999, Rose Island was first among the Italians, to build traditional cruisers based on the lines of the American lobster boat of the early nineteenth century, in fact the Lobster name is registered to its name. The philosophy behind this new important project from Rose Island, is that of classic looks and appearance, that really takes you back in time. Unlike the competition, Rose Island and architects Aldo Gatti and Marino Alfani went for a classic over all mentality in there models, and even in this new flagship project they did follow suit and kept it traditional as with the 49 and 38. The accommodation layout, is very spacious featuring 3 separate cabins all with en-suite facilities and a separate crew lobby with accommodation for 2. Striking features of the 65 lobster are the traditional American double cockpit, and the upper deck with a second helm station area. Power is for twin 800hp MAN, which Rose Island says should give top speeds of about 33 knots.
