Horacio Bozzo designs 123m Fincantieri concept Private Bay


Superyacht designer Horacio Bozzo has revealed his latest concept, a 123 metre Fincantieri yacht called Private Bay.



Announced at the 
Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Private Bay aims to provide a strong connection between the yacht and the sea.Bozzo explained, “The exterior design is characterised by surfaces that intersect creating light reflections with terraces and balconies overlooking the sea. The flair of the bow adds class and the leaning mast gives a sporty accent for a yacht with a contemporary elegance.”

Accommodation is for 18 guests split across an owner’s suite and eight VIP cabins, while the crew quarters allow for a staff of up to 31 people.

Exterior relaxation spaces are plentiful, with a pair of superyacht spa poolson the observation deck and afore of the owner’s suite on the main deck, which also includes a private office and his and hers en suites. However, it is the stunning superyacht beach club that is most likely to catch the eye.


This area totals 160 square metres and includes an infinity pool with swim-up cocktail bar, numerous sunpads and settees, an outdoor superyacht cinema and a fold-out staircase that provides easy access to the sea.

A side-loading tender garage allows Private Bay to carry an eight metre RIB, a ten metre tender and an 11 metre limousine, as well as four Jet Skis.

Power comes from a pair of 4,613hp diesel engines for a top speed of 18.5 knots and a maximum cruising range of 5,500 nautical miles at 13 knots.

Dutch naval architecture firm Mulder Design has revealed its latest concept, a 72 metre motor yacht called MD236.


This well-balanced and carefully proportioned design features elegant exterior lines and a sleek hull form.Looking beyond the aesthetics, Mulder Design’s team focussed on the potential for exterior entertainment, with key social areas including a superyacht beach club, which doubles up as a tender garage. Further stowage for Waverunners and other superyacht water toys is provided in a foredeck locker.

MD236 also features a touch-and-go helicopter deck on the bow, which allows guests to board even in some of the most remote and inhospitable locations.
The layout includes an upper-deck owner’s suite, which boasts its owner private office and panoramic views out to sea, while the main deck features two VIP suites, each with its own superyacht balcony.

Three further double cabins on the lower deck take the total guest accommodation to 12, while the crew quarters allow for a staff of up to 22 people. Communal areas include the main-deck saloon with its separate dining area, and the superyacht gym and spa, which is situated at the heart of the yacht.

The Dutch design studio adds that this hull can be configured in a choice of two modes: either as a traditional displacement yacht or a high-speed cruising version. No engine details have been disclosed and the build yard and interior designers are yet to be decided upon.

Other naval architecture projects currently under development at Mulder Design include the 68 metre Benetti superyacht FB 269, which is due to launch in 2018.
