Italian Shipyard Rossinavi has launched its first luxury expedition yacht from its Pisa facilities. The 59.4m Ice Class yacht was designed by Gian Paolo Nari with a cosy and elegant interior design by Ancona based studio, FM Architettura.
Fitted with diesel electric propulsion and dynamic positioning, M/Y AKULA has been built to fulfil the owner’s dream of world exploration, with the goal of navigating long distances whilst meeting certain standards of eco sustainability. Each space outsizes standard yachts, allowing for large storage areas and comfortable crew accommodation.
The yacht has been developed with the owner to support marine research and philanthropic projects. Key custom solutions include the forward manoeuvring station being moved below deck, leaving the entire over deck free as an observation deck. Federico Rossi, COO of Rossinavi explained “With the owner’s input, we were able to best express the know-how and skills we have gained through decades of experience.”
