The Perini Navi Group has closed the year 2011 on a positive note with the signing of a sales contract on a new 69m sailing yacht hull C2227. Three contracts signed by the Perini Navi Group in 2011 including the newest 69m superyacht and two 60m sailing yachts signed last summer. The new 69m yacht C2227 is the second longest of the Perini Navi fleet after The Maltese Falcon charter yacht, a massive 88m sailing yacht. Perini Navi Sail yacht C2227 will be delivered in 2015.
Sailing yacht C2227 was designed and created by the Perini Navi Group with additional consulting from Philippe Briand, and is the latest expression of the high standards of design, technology and quality that have always characterized Perini Navi yachts. Innovation, elegance and comfort at the highest levels possible are just some of the elements that have allowed the Perini Navi Group to distinguish itself over the years and successfully confirm the value of its brand, its team and of its products.
The interior layout of the Perini Navi hull C2227 was designed by the Perini Navi Design Office and will be completed in conjunction with the American interior design studio PH Design.
At the end of the year 2011 the Perini Group’s orders amount to about 170 million Euro, with six yachts sold and currently under construction. The Group has also invested in the construction of two sailing yacht hulls, of 38 and 60m, that can be sold and consigned within the next two years.
The past year has seen the launching of the sailing yacht Fidelis, a successful charter yacht that was the tenth yacht in the 56m series, the 55m motor yacht Galileo G, the second launching to date of the Picchiotti brand’s Vitruvius® series; and superyacht Clan VIII, the fourth yacht in the 45m series.
With a fleet of 53 yachts on the water- 51 sailing yachts and two motor yachts- the Perini Navi Group is the world leader in the design and construction of large luxury superyachts. In 2007 the Group began to build motor yachts with the brand name Picchiotti and the series name Vitruvius, thus re-launching the historic Picchiotti shipyard acquired in the early 1990’s.
The Group is made up of the Perini Navi shipyard in Viareggio, Italy founded in the 1980’s by Fabio Perini who invented and developed a revolutionary automatic sail control system. Another division is the Picchiotti shipyard in La Spezia where the Group constructs its motor yachts and concentrates most of its refitting work, and the Perini Istanbul shipyard in Yildiz, Turkey where its hulls and deck structures are produced. Perini Navi USA is a commercial division of the Group for both new and previously owned Perini Navi Group yachts.
