Pichiotti teams up with Nauta Design for PY50 concept


Italian studio Nauta Design has styled its first motor yacht for Pichiotti, the 50 metre PY50 concept.



The new design features modern-classic exteriors, all-aluminium construction and a total interior volume of less than 500GT. 
In a statement, the La Spezia-based yard explained: “The brief was to create a series of graceful world cruisers with styling that recalls the fleet of Perini Navi yachts.

Nauta Design drew on its strong experience in styling sailing yachts to create a motor yacht that makes the best possible use of all available spaces, including numerous areas where the interior flows seamlessly into the exterior.

Key features on this tri-deck motor yacht include a large bathing platform for easy access to the sea. From there, twin staircases lead up to aft-deck superyacht spa pool and adjacent sunbathing area. A sheltered C-shaped wrap of seating provides further relaxation options.

On the upper deck there is enough room for 12 to enjoy an al fresco meal around a large dining table, while the superyacht sundeck includes a central table surrounded by nine freestanding chairs and further sunloungers and sunpads.



The walk-through foredeck seating area completes the array of exterior lounging spaces on board the Pichiotti PY50. Further details are being kept under wraps for now, but the initial renderings show a hatch cut into the blue topsides, hinting at a side-loading tender garage.

The PY50 is the second superyacht concept that Nauta Design has revealed in recent weeks, following hot on the heels of the 102 metre Oceanco Project Spectrum.

First MCP Yachts 92.5 raised pilothouse yacht in-build


The first MCP 92.5 raised pilothouse yacht is currently under construction ahead of a planned 2018 launch, the Brazilian yard has revealed.


Designed in-house by the MCP Yachts team, the 92.5 RPH measures 28.64 metres LOA and features a semi-displacement aluminium hull and an aluminium superstructure.

In a statement, the yard said: “Elegant and at the same time contemporary lines, make its profile essentially timeless. Its features, while unique, are designed to satisfy all kind of tastes.

”Interior accommodation on the first MCP 92.5 is for up to 14 guests split across six cabins, including a main-deck master suite, two doubles and three twin cabins, as well as a pair of pullman berths. The yard adds that it will be offering a four-cabin and a five-cabin alternative as part of the series. The crew quarters allow for a staff of up to four people and features separate access on the portside of the engine room.

No further interior details have been revealed yet, but as these renderings show, the expansive superyacht sundeck features a hardtop bimini and aft tender storage space.



MCP Yachts can fit the 92.5 with a range of engine installations from 2,030hp to 3,650hp, however the owner of the first hull has specified twin 1,400hp Caterpillar diesel engines, which are predicted to deliver a top speed of 21 knots. When cruising at 10 knots, the first MCP 92.5 will boast a maximum cruising range of 3,000 nautical miles, thanks to its total fuel capacity of 15,000 litres.

Other superyacht projects currently under development at the Brazilian yard include the 43.28 metre MCP 140 Hemisphere and the 30.5 metre Silver Bullet 100, both of which are due to hit the water next year.
