At Lavagna-based CNT – Castagnola shipyard facilities in Italy, construction of the futuristic, although traditional, Castagnola 38 WJ motor yacht Angra Too is well underway. Once completed, the Castagnola 38 WJ superyacht Angra Too will represent one of the biggest motor yachts ever built in wood, and water jets powered. She is named after a fabulous island of the lovely South American yacht charter destination – Brazil.
Castagnola 38 WJ Yacht Angra Too
The new flagship is a megayacht with a length of over 38 meters and a 8.10 meters beam, and it will be completely built in wood. The hull construction will be done by mean of the well proven triple planking method; also, the use of fiberglass will improve the strength and make it waterproof: 146 tons in full load displacement are expected.
The exterior areas have been designed to ensure maximum comfort and continuity from bow to stern. The cockpit, with a comfortable dining area is protected by the fly bridge and by the walk around passage as well and is connected through two staircase with the spacious aft swimming platform, the real point of contact with the sea and docking area for the many toys available to owners and guests.
The Fly bridge, a large terrace of 65 sqm positioned at over four meters from the sea, will be furnished with just few fixed elements to be flexible to the owners and guests needs; interesting at this regard are the two extendable sunbeds as well as a handy bar, a table for twelve and the sofas available at side or front running.

At the bow, the wheelhouse with seating for the captain, pilot and passengers.
The interiors, developed by the Andrea Borzelli & Sara Berta architectural firm as well as the exterior style in cooperation with Giovanni Castagnola, have plenty of space and a habitability both in the day and the night zone. The main deck offers a large living room at the stern, in direct communication with the exterior, furnished with a dining table for twelve people, a living room with two sofas and a fully stocked wet bar.
Amidships there is a single guest cabin, a pantry area located between the saloon and the kitchen which is very large and well connected with the crew area and the starboard corridor. The forward area is entirely dedicated to the owners quarter, whit a large full beam cabin, two bathrooms, desk area, walk-in closet and a gorgeous sea view.
Four cabins on the lower deck, each with its own bathroom, along with a comfortable crew mess can accommodate up to seven crew members. The guest area is characterized by two twin cabins and two very comfortable double cabins served by a corridor full of storage spaces.
A modern gym is placed between the crew and the guest area and is directly connected with the upper deck via a dedicated staircase. Finally in the raised pilot house, next to the dashboard area there is a clever owner office.
As far as technical aspects concern, the boat will be powered by three Diesel engines MTU 12 V2000 M94, giving 1432 kW each, coupled to three waterjets KAMEWA 56A3 through ZF gearbox and double elastic coupling. Hull lines, specially designed for the particular propulsion layout, have been tank tested, and their optimization will allow the new 38 WJ to reach a 28 kn cruise speed and a 31 kn top speed; a wide range will be ensured by 18’000 lt fuel and 2’500 fres water tanks.
