Viareggio-based yacht brand Centouno Navi has revealed more details about its 40-metre concept Eterea, which will be able to reach eye-watering top speeds of 58 knots.
The vessel is an evolution of Marco Arnaboldi’s 2014 concept, inspired “by the grace and efficiency of marine animals” and a “desire to have a continuous relationship with the sea”.
Eterea has a beam of 8.8-metres and features a large aft deck at water level with foldable bulwarks, enabling close contact with the sea as well as greater stowing space. This includes numerous toys, a tender up to nine metres in length, and even a pickleball court, if the owner so chooses.
The owner’s cabin has also been designed to open directly onto the stern area, further facilitating this uninterrupted connection with the outdoors.
Manuela Lucchesi, founder of the yacht brand, explained: “The owner will be able to choose the layout on board according to their needs, with solutions for up to five guest cabins and four for the crew, but complying with specific instructions: in particular, the position of the owner's cabin and the decks arranged on different levels”.
Lucchesi added: “All these solutions aim at maximising privacy.”
The interiors have been designed by Milan-based studio Grandi Architetture and Partners, led by Massimo Marzorati.
With four MTU engines and MJP water jets, Eterea has a cruising range of over 500 nautical miles. A “quieter” three-engine version with a maximum peak speed of 48 knots has also been planned.
