Italian shipyard Rossinavi has delivered a full custom 49.9-metre superyacht named BEL1 from its facility in Pisa. According to BOATPro, BEL1 is now en route to Calvi, in Corsica.
Exterior design is by Fulvio De Simoni, with the yacht's profile distinguished by two openings at the hull that allow the main saloon and owner's area to be naturally lit.
BEL1 also features a high hull and an unusual aft design that amplifies and staggers the outdoor spaces, so as to be perceived "as a single, large open area".
Additionally, the yacht's superstructure has been extended, resulting in a sundeck that measures an impressive 145 square metres – a "truly unusual size relative to the size of the boat", according to the shipyard. The deck is divided into several functional areas: the aft is intended for sunbathing, the shaded central portion houses sofas and a bar, and the bow area revolves around the "mini-pool".
Other leisure highlights include an upper deck veranda for "four seasons" dining, a mezzanine deck and an enclosed beach club with foldable sides, connected to the main deck cockpit.
Enrico Gobbi – Team for Design is responsible for the interiors, which are yet to be detailed.
"We are very satisfied and proud of this project, which, due to its originality and architectural complexity, has been quite challenging," said Fulvio de Simoni. "However, at the same time, it has allowed us to express our creativity in inventing new forms without compromising functionality and the enjoyment of life on board the ship."
The superyacht has been built entirely in aluminium and is equipped with four stabiliser fins.
This follows the announcement of Rossinavi's new range of crossover superyachts, known as Nolimits. The interiors of its 45-metre flagship were recently released to BOAT International.
