STEFANIA YACHT REVIEW

Luxury yacht STEFANIA is one of the very latest desirable designs to come out of the Dynamiq Yachts shipyard, boasting a 41m/134.6ft glittering golden hull to seize your attention while concealing the true opulence away from prying eyes. The refined interiors are the perfect setting for a special occasion amongst family or friends, with five en-suite cabins to accommodate up to 10 guests overnight, all looked after by six professional crewmen.

The interiors

Miami-based design studio Giuseppina Arena have worked in tandem with Dynamiq to create a haven upon the water: A colour palette of cream and gold creates warm and welcoming social areas that are contrasted by crisp white furnishings and accents in navy blue. The art deco styling has been given a contemporary update with Fendi furniture and custom carpets by OT adding golden hues and details in mother of pearl. All decks have a ceiling height of 2.2m/7.3ft to create a cavernous environment within.

Other benefits include a fireplace in the main salon and a unique atomiser system that features the home perfume collection 'Bianco di Carrara' from Ferragamo to add a subtle scent to the living areas on board.

The exteriors

The all-aluminium superyacht is a product of exterior stylists Dobroserdov Design, who gave her an elegant and mysterious appearance while setting her apart from the crowd with a metallic gold hull contrasted by a superstructure in silvery white. The reverse bow is a powerful and appealing modern look, while having the practical function of aiding performance to put her at the top of her class.

From the moment guests step aboard they are surrounded by luxuries: The Deep swim platform and sweeping central stairway beckon up to the main deck aft, where the 10-person aft pool and sun-drenched lounge tempt guests to sit a moment and admire the sweeping view.

The sundeck is another important outdoor social spot, covering a total of 120m2/1,292ft2 and placing the raised Jacuzzi and sunbeds forward, a wet bar amidships and a circular alfresco dining table behind, accompanied by a sofa on both sides and even more sunbeds aft. Two 75-inch TV screens will keep guests entertained with the latest sports and films after sundown.

The accommodation

The geometric lines of Art Deco style guide guests down to the guest accommodation, which is placed amidships on the lower deck for the best motion comfort for all guests. The layout consists of 5 spacious en-suite cabins to sleep up to 10 guests: 1 Master suite, 2 VIP staterooms and 2 further guest cabins.

The Master suite is full beam and has the additional luxuries of a sofa and walk-in wardrobe compared to the other cabins, however all benefit from the engineering for minimal noise and vibrations while cruising as well as at anchor.

The engineering

Behind the scenes, Twin MAN V12 1650 engines grant a top speed of 21 knots and a range of 5,000 nautical miles at an economical 10 knots. The engineering is designed to meet the strictest RINA Commercial Class standards as well as Comfort and Green Star Plus notations. As a result, M/Y STEFANIA is environmentally friendly, safe and comfortable cruising.

Another feature guests will hardly notice but reap the benefits of is the shallow draft, allowing access to the best anchorages and bonefishing spots in the Bahamas and the Maldives.

M/Y STEFANIA is the glamour of the past and a clear vision of the future to achieve stellar performance and entertainment in the here and now - wherever that may be with her range of 5,000 nautical miles.

With this range the owners can enjoy two seasons during the year – in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean – and greater freedom when navigating remote locations like South-East Asia with no bunkering facilities. Her shallow draft of 1.8 metres is ideal for cruising the remote cays and shoal waters of the Bahamas as well.
