New Model: Sessa 40 Fly

Launched at the end of the 2011 year, the new Sessa 40 Fly follows the hallmark of what some previous months earlier the North Italian builder showed with the 45 Fly model.  Designer Christian Grande followed many similarities from the 45 in this smaller flybridge motor cruiser, with a low profile flybridge which does not give up space up top thanks to a well laid clever layout.  Down below space offers two double cabins, with a galley being in a space between the cabin area and living upper saloon.  Two spacious shower heads serve the two cabins, with one being en-suite for the forward owners room.  Other interesting features of the 40 Fly are an up down hydraulic bathing platform, Miele oven, 160 liters fridge capacity, and Sony entertainment systems.  Another unheard feature in this size is also a space provided to put a washer dryer of six kilograms capacity. Standard power is twin Volvo 300hp with IPS pod drives which give max speed of 30 knots.

Project: Sessa 40 Fly

Sessa presents its last project for the 2011 year, the 40 Fly which is set to be presented World wide in the upcoming Barcelona boat show.  The 40 Fly a creation from Sessa sole architect Christian Grande presents a  design with similar looks to the mid Summer launched 45, and the 54 models of the same line.  She is Sessa second in size flybridge boat after the much appreciated 36 Dorado of the fishing line.  The 40, just as the two other bigger Fly models is about offering open spaces in a sport profile.  Considering the dimensions here the spaces look good in all areas from the flybridge to the aft deck, interior saloon, and the two cabins located in the lower deck.  A well sized L-shaped galley is located below.  Power options have not been announced but the picture above does show bits of the IPS pod drives, which come in with Volvo diesel engines.

New Model: Sessa 45 Fly

Sessa finally shows the second model of its flybridge range with the much awaited 45 Fly.  The second Sessa flybridge model follows the first 54 Fly, and was launched in middle Summer with a tour taking it around the West Mediterranean and finishing in early September in Cannes for the World preview at the famous boat show.  The Sessa 45 Fly comes again from the hands of architect Christian Grande who presented very modern sports flybridge looks, or as Sessa likes to call it an open evolution.  Innovative ideas come from the forward sunbed on the flybridge which has a movable back rest which can extend its size, and from the two pillars of the aft deck which have an open tent cover privatizing the area or protect it from cold weather in seconds.  The 45 Fly is a tribute to clever design and intelligent use of space from a very spacious flybridge seating up to ten persons, to a layout design of the interior offered in a two, or three cabins plan.  In the three cabins version the galley moves up in a split level saloon, while in the two sleeping room offer this is below and is a spacious offer.  In both layouts the owners room is to fore, and features an island double with a private shower head to port side. Power from the Sessa 45 Fly is from Volvo 435hp engines with IPS pods.

Project: Sessa 27 Key Largo Inboard

Sessa presents the project for a 27 Key Largo Inboard, which follows the foot steps of the 34 model.  Designed as all the Sessa's by Christian Grand the Key Largo is a modern looking walk around which offers decent cabin space inside for an overnight stay of two.  The cabin also features a separate shower head.  Outside is a full space for entertaining from the forward sun lounger, to the center helm with wet bar and small galley located behind, and L-shaped dinette.  The stern is the real change from the Inboard to the standard version and this features a sun pad, which extends by taking space from the L-shaped settee, and a medium sized bathing platform.  Power for the 27 Key Largo Inboard is a single Volvo engine in 300hp gas petrol, or 230 in diesel choice.

New Model: Sessa C44

Despite the slow down in the World and European economies Sessa has been relentless in the last few years presenting new models, at an impressive rate.  The C44 is in real terms a further development of the fall 2008 presented C43 with the real difference coming to stern, which now features an up and down hydraulic moving bathing platform.  As said in the Sessa press release the C44 will be produced along the C43, at least for now. The C44 will offer the two cockpit layouts as featured on the C43 of C-shaped settee with sunpad and underneath garage, or the larger more socializing E-shaped layout.  The E-shaped settee layout which was optional on the C43 becomes the standard plan of the C44.  In the E-shape plan both settees transform to two sun pads or dine twelve people with tables up in extreme comfort. Unlike the C43 with the other plan of sun pad garage the C44 gives the possibility to carry two private water toys, one on the platform and another in the garage.  Another difference of the C44 is also the propulsion set up with Sessa declaring on the web site that the C44 will only be available with IPS pods, and I think the main reason behind this is the hydraulic moving bathing platform.

Project: Sessa 34 Key Largo Inboard

Sessa presents the 34 Key Largo, what is a step into the future from the Italian builder and its well known  center console line up.  This model is to be available in inboard as rendering above, or with outboard version which has just been launched. But the 34 Key Largo moves the barrier and challenges what we have seen coming from other builders with some innovative features, offering an accommodation and well thought out layout which looks to other more cruiser orientated customers.  For the 34 Key Largo, Sessa has pulled out all it has in terms of studies, development and quality: 1500 computer files, 200 m² resin parts modelled with the 3D moulding machine and more than 300 different components that make up the boat.  The 34 Key Largo is a center console but also a cabin boat which offers a ten centimeters short of two meters head room below.  The layout here can sleep four in two areas; convertible V-shaped settee which becomes a double bed to fore, twin berth to midships under the stairs, galley, and separate shower head.  The cockpit deck offers an all the boat living area; center helm, wet bar, sun lounger to fore, L-shaped settee, and a sunpad aft which in only available in the inboard version. An optional rigid T-Top with electric bimini which covers the cockpit is also available.  The Sessa 34 Key Largo power is in its stern drive inboard version twin Volvo petrol 320hp or 220hp Diesel engines.  The outboard version is powered by twin Yamaha 300hp and can reach top speeds up to 45 knots.

Improve-it = Sessa C68

Sessa presents a new choice to the engine propulsion of its C68 flagship.  This new engine propulsion package comes from Volvo twin 900hp engines, with the latest third generation IPS1200 propulsion.  The new option makes it the fifth Sessa to be powered by Volvo IPS pod propulsion.  The twin Volvo IPS1200 power propulsion reduces 460hp per engine to the previous MAN 1360hp set up.  According to Sessa the Volvo IPS1200 showed reduced consumption of 25% and noise levels of 40% with top speeds of 35 knots.  The engine change also marked a redefined engine room and crew cabin layout.  This now offers a more spacious engine room and a new access point onto the deck.  The crew cabin is also more spacious with a separate bathroom and extra seating that can be converted into an extra berth.  Sessa also introduced new interior fittings with a new Cocoa wood choice, Havana leather and Ivory fabrics.  A new layout without the bar is also available on the main deck.  These new choices show the flexibility of the Sessa C68 current flagship in all parts of its build from layout, engine, propulsion, and fitting choices.

New Model: Sessa C32

Sessa continues to upgrade its models and the C32 is its reply to entry level boaters.  In this sport cruiser Sessa and designer Christian Grande have used the experience coming from its larger models and presented a valuable product full of quality and clever design solutions.  The C32 offers design touches which are not much heard of in a cruiser measuring 32 feet from the hard top to the extended bathing platform where it is possible to stow the tender.  The level of comfort is important both inside and outside.  The main aft cockpit deck presents itself with a C-shaped settee, L-shaped lounger, helm station, and wet bar.  Down below the layout offers what is a standard plan in this size; U-shaped sofa to fore which becomes a double berth, galley, spacious shower head, and mid ship separate cabin with double berth.  Power is from twin Volvo 200hp diesels, or 270hp petrol gas engines.

Project: Sessa 45 Fly

Sessa present the project for the 45 Fly, set to be presented in the fall of this year.  This model when launched will represent Sessa second flybridge model following the 54 Fly presented almost two years ago, and the seventh boat to be powered by IPS.  The 45 Fly will also offer four variations to its theme able to suite global customer needs. As has been done by Sessa in recent years designer Christian Grande and the Sessa team explore modern ideas both outside and inside.  I like how the 45 Fly looks outside with a sleek sporty line compared to other similar sized flybridge cruisers with some unedited design touches.  Here I am obviously speaking for the stern, with two uprights reminiscent of super yacht architecture forming a big window creating an openwork shade to provide shelter from the cold and from curious eyes, so that it is possible to dine outside without attracting unwanted attention.  The Sessa will also offer a very spacious lower deck about seventeen squared meters with a three double cabins, and two private shower heads layout.  But all areas of the 45 Fly seems to be spacious form the living main deck, to the flybridge this offering seating space for up to ten people, plus a sun pad, and a fully equipped wet bar dinette.  Power is from Volvo 435hp engines with IPS600 pod propulsion.

New Model: Sessa C48

Sessa presented the new C48 at the Genoa show, which is based on the C46 hull. As is known the C46 launched in 2007 has been one of Sessa's most press praised models being awarded Boat of the Year by British IPC media i.e. Motor Boat and Yachting, and Motor Boats Monthly in January 2008. Considering the success of the C46, Sessa tweaks and upgrades the C48 in numerous departments but still keeps the same successful formula. The changes are a new hard top super structure design from Christian Grande now looking more similar to the new recent models from Sessa, a hydraulic up and down bathing platform aft, larger cockpit aft deck, more spacious tender garage with space for a tender or Jet-Ski up to 2.85 meters in length, and scissor moving forward stateroom which changes the double berth to a two singles format. For the remaining the Sessa builds on the model it replaces with a full beam owners stateroom, two galleys one down and a comfortable one outside, two heads, and power from Volvo IPS600 with twin 435hp engines performance.

Project: Sessa C32

Sessa continues its new boat development program, and just after launching the C48 a few weeks ago in Genoa presents the project for its new entry level sport cruiser the C32. This model seems to be a replacement to the C30, although there is still no official word about this. What surely strikes the attention in the C32 is the hard top made of light canvas and fiber-glass which covers a big part of the cockpit, aft deck. Another surprise comes from Sessa putting the owners room to mid ship in this size of nine meters sport cruiser. Below is also a salon which converts to a double, shower head, and galley. Here Sessa also continues its recent trademark colors and joinery as seen on the latest models; chocolate leather, and cinnamon coloured walnuts. Tender space is also thought for with a standard extended platform giving space for a small sized rib. Power will be Volvo choices, twin diesel 200hp, or petrol 220hp.

Project: Sessa C48

Sessa presents its fourth new model of the 2010 year with the C48, showing the huge effort from this Italian builder who in recent years is challenging the top crown of Med looking cruisers and yachts for its innovative and high quality products. Launching in a month time at the Genoa show the C48 is a project developed on Sessa's first IPS boat introduced in 2007 the C46. Today Sessa has a total of four IPS models. Many characteristics are the same but Sessa and Christian Grande fine tuned the lines of the hard top and super structure now looking similar to the C38 introduced last year. The C48 will also add an extended bathing platform with high and low movement which apart easy tender stowage increases length by a couple of feet, hence the designation change. Thanks to this the C48 can also handle two water toys up to 2.85 metres in the garage, and another on the bathing platform. This extension also increases space in the aft deck by 36 cm, therefore also adding more space outside. Other changes are also a bigger hard top opening section, and a redesigned helm station. Interior wise the two cabin layout with the full beam owners suite to mid ship stays, but a change in furniture woods and colors is found. This to be finished in dense walnut, and leather surfaces in brown, cream and cocoa, which will match the cream colored galley. Power for what have been very appreciated underwater lines of the C46 will be from twin Volvo IPS600 435hp units. Construction method also changes for the C48 now to be done in the cleaner and lighter infused resin.

New Model: Sessa C 54 Sport Coupe

Basing itself on the hull and water lines of the 54 Fly introduced in the fall of last year, Sessa and designer Christian Grande presents the C 54 Sport Coupe, what is an amazing glass filled open views new model. I might be biased saying this as I just saw a couple days ago the flagship C68, and that is a good looking flagship Sessa introduced last year. This model is very similar to it on the looks department, and this surely includes the wow factor and unique color scheme. There is also a detail which I particularly like and Sessa brochure and press release does not tell, which comes from much bigger boats that is the joining of the hull and upper structure coming by the shear line. This apart giving a more bigger boat looks, gives also a much neater approach unheard in most production boat of this size, unless these look traditional. The C 54 Sport Coupe follows modern trends of a fully enclosed hard top Sport Yacht with a three cabin, two heads accommodation, and a very spacious L-shaped galley located below. The owners suite is to mid ship, VIP to fore, and a double bunk is in the middle of the lower deck. An optional crew cabin for one is available to mid ship. The main deck is a single level and here you have an L-shaped sofa, dining table to port, and helm station. The exterior is all about enjoying the nature, sun and nice weather. I particularly like the aft sun pad which extends as if on a float, the spacious aft deck, the fore peak lounger, and not to forget the all around deep side decks which again feel of a much bigger yacht. Tender launching is also made easy thanks to a bathing platform with high low hydraulic movement. Power is from twin Volvo 700hp with IPS second generation larger pods, which gets you on the plane at 15 knots, cruises you at 25 knots, and reaches a 34 knots max speed.

New Model: Sessa C35 Sports Coupe

Sessa continues to move forward always presenting newer and richer models, and this new C35 Sports Coupe is its next step in a range which becomes always more interesting in looks, fitting out and finishing. Designed as all recent Sessa's by Christian Grande this new sport cruiser represents the next step in a replacement to one of this yard’s greatest achievements and best seller that was the C35, 35 Oyster, or 34 Oyster in its earlier forms delivered to a total of over five hundred models in a ten years run. The C35 Sport Coupe follows recent demanded styles for a hard top and is inspired by the style of the acclaimed C68 flagship, or as I see it similar to the also fall 2009 introduced C38. The clever touch is surely the redistribution of the interior space offered in a clever modular style. The internal layout has been designed to allow the owner a huge freedom of choice. To live in an open space due to a large common area and a single cabin or, by using the partition, to create two equally spacious cabins, one at the bow and the other at the stern, each equipped with private access to both the kitchen and the bathroom. The aft deck also follows recent styles as seen on the 38 but in a smaller size with a single level area offering a C-shaped settee, sun lounger to port, and an outdoor kitchen behind the helm to starboard. Sessa also continues touches of extra luxury on the new medium sized C35 Sport Coupe with the option of having the Design Version which gives a galley fitted out by renowned kitchen specialist Boffi, finished with a rolled steel worktop, and ivory lacquered cabinets. Power is from a standard Volvo twin 220hp or optional 260hp.

Project: Sessa C35 Sport Coupe

Sessa present the project of the Sessa C35 Sport Coupe. This is Sessa third announced project out of five promised new models for the 2010 fall. A hard top sport cruiser which follows on the exterior looks of the fall 2009 introduced 38 footer with the same designation, the C35 Sport Coupe will also be the replacement for the C35 from the Cruiser Line, Sessa most successful model delivered in over five hundred units. Designer Christian Grande follows striking hard top looks as shown on the C38, in a one metre smaller size. The C35 will also have a modular interior allowing the owner to decide on the spot if desiring two separate cabins fore and aft, or one aft cabin. Great attention has also been given to the head, which should deliver more space similar to that of the C38 and will feature a separate cubicle shower. Sessa will also offer a designer version for the galley, with this option finished by renowned kitchen specialist Boffi. This galley will have a steel working top, and ivory lacquered cabinets. Power for this seven tons and a half hard top sport cruiser will be from twin Volvo 220hp up to 260hp engines propelled with economic stern drive propulsion, and easier to manoeuvre in harbour joystick control.

Project: Sessa C54 Sport-Coupe

Sessa pulls out a new project for a sixteen metres open yacht, the C54 Sport-Coupe. Coming live in the next Cannes Show in September this new model will continue Sessa vocation as a trend-setter, and ever improving quality coming by, reviving and expand its sport yacht range, what will be a challenge in this size. Designer Christian Grande and Sessa set the tones for a Sport Yacht with closed lounge main deck concept as the C68 flagship, and as recent models continue with striking aggressive looks and so called animal features. Sessa objective is to give the C54 Sport-Coupe the C68 amenities, and as it happens this project mirrors the flagship in many ways combining characteristics of a performing and sporty open, to those of a comfortable, elegant yacht. The C54 Sport-Coupe is also Sessa's fourth generation hull developed for IPS, following the C46, C43 and the 54 Fly. Sessa is one of the few to have used IPS so extensively and in my memory only another Italian yard does in fact uses the Volvo forward looking pods more to this, which made possible to take advantage of an experience to optimise this technology to the full and incorporate better use of volumes. This does in fact deliver a lower deck with three double cabins, including a full beam owner stateroom to mid-ship with separate shower head. A spacious galley is also located on the lower deck, entirely freeing the main saloon for entertainment and lounging having here an eight person guest table, bar, convertible settee which transforms into a sun pad, and the separation glass patio door which makes the C54 a summer and winter sport yacht. There will also be a BBQ area behind the cockpit, a hydraulic stern platform, and a crew cabin which is so welcoming that can also be used for guests. The C54 Sport-Coupe shares a similar hull shape, twin Volvo 700hp engines, and second generation larger IPS pods to the 54 Fly which should also mirror the 32 knots top speeds achieved by Sessa first flybridge yacht.

Improve-it = Sessa C43

Sessa presents a new America version to the entry model of the Yacht Line the C43. This new American version makes a big change in the cockpit layout of the original C43 model replacing the aft sun pad and underneath tender garage, with a C-shaped settee lounging area. This settee can also transform to a sunpad by lowering the table. For the remaining this new America version option keeps the C43 layout below with a full beam owners cabin to midship, scissor singles or double to fore, and a convertible berth in the saloon. The C43 is powered by twin Volvo 370hp engines propelled to IPS500 forward looking pod drives.

New Model: Sessa C38

Sessa launched a welcome addition to its Cruiser Line with the new C38. Announced as a project last Spring the new flagship of the five model medium sized Sessa's Cruiser Line continues the move to a more elegant and innovative design element. Christian Grande has been again the designer to take care of this sleek looking 38 feet hard top Sport Cruiser. Sessa is expecting a lot from the C38 headlining it as its upcoming best selling model surpassing the success of the C35. Surely Sessa did a good home work and these claims may end up to be true in a couple years time. Grande in the C38 took the family looks of the latest bigger introduced C series models, putting all this in a smaller eleven metre package. Luxury is again a predominant feature of the C38 following this with elements which are a bit unheard in this size like the two galleys, one below and another in the cockpit. The day galley up on the main deck does feel like a kitchen and is not the usual found wet bar with grill. The main lower galley is finished by Bossi too and is among the most spacious for an eleven metre sport cruiser. Unusual for an Italian boat too which always suffer the galley syndrome. Accommodation lower deck of the C38 apart the galley gives also a twin double cabin interior: owners cabin to fore, guest located mid ship, and you also get an L-shaped settee plus a shower head. The cockpit which is flush decked, meaning it has one floor reuniting this area all in one place, has also an L-shaped settee, chaise lounge to port, helm station to starboard, and the famed day galley. Power is from twin D4 300hp Volvo which reach wide open throttle speeds of 35 knots.

Sessa’s much waited flagship model the C68 is finally here. Announced as a C65 back in March 2008 it took over a year to go from project to reality in what would become the Sessa pinnacle model in the form of the C68. As all recent Sessa elegance and power take a distinguish form of features and innovation with glassed window surfaces playing a huge part in the design of the C68. The C68 extends Sessa size offer by sixteen feet and continues Christian Grande design work for the Radice family owned boat builder. Grande presents some surprises most notably is the full beam cabin window which sorts of connects with the main deck saloon lower sweeping design. Interior is characterized by a new dimension of livability, conceived to evoke a domestic setting without sacrificing a nautical but also modern feel. Sessa is praised for the amount of natural light inside, but also the uniqueness for a boat this size of a lit wine cellar. Layout plan is a three double cabin plan with owner suite mid ship, VIP cabin to fore and double guest cabin in between. The saloon plan has a galley located at the stern port side of the interior saloon, l-shaped relaxing settee opposite, and dining are to fore port side, and a double seated helm station to starboard.

New Model: Sessa 54 Sport Fly

Another exclusive preview from PowerYachtBlog, this time presenting the Sessa 54 Sport Fly just as it debuted at Cannes. This Italian builder has really upgraded itself in the last years, and when one thinks it arrived to the limits, it presents a new model pushing the borders of design and quality a step further. Christian Grande in his first flybridge Motor Yacht for Sessa takes a lot from the smaller open hardtop cruisers and yachts, giving it very sporty looks with a family feeling representing the range. Secondly Sessa also offer easy and fast handling in the marina and not, thanks to the 54 Sport Fly being equipped with the second generation of the larger Volvo IPS II drives, in this case the 900 series powered with 700hp engines. This should push the 54 Sport Fly to an estimated 37 knots max speed. Inside the 54 Sport Fly offers a three double cabin interior which is filled with natural light thanks to the huge windows and the furnishing used. Sessa also says that the 54 Sport Fly is unique for offering two real galley dining areas: being on top of the flybridge, and inside in the main deck saloon.
