Tunisian yacht builder Koot Yachts International introduces their first model, the KOOT 54 yacht, which will be officially presented at the Cannes Boat Show this year. “Loft on the Sea” is the design philosophy that inspired Koot Yachts to create this 16 metre long open characterised by large interior and exterior spaces, providing a continuous flow with the sea.
The Koot 54 yacht is built in Tunisia by a working team headed by Italian architect Francesco Maria Giulini. The exterior design is by Koot Design Team, with interiors designed by the architect Giulini and the hull designed by renowned naval architect Sergio Cutolo. 16.5 meters long and 4.88 meters wide, this is a boat that offers unique seamlessly environments: no internal cabins but one large lounge area directly connected to the cockpit, creating a unique space between the interior of the boat, outdoor areas and the sea. Large spaces also characterize the outdoor area: the stern is completely open to the sea and only three steps separate the cockpit from the spacious bathing platform as well as an area at the bow completely covered with teak becomes a very large and comfortable sundeck .
The Koot 54 yacht has a planning hull with V-variable angle and is fitted with two MAN R6-800 diesel engines (800 hp each), which allow a cruising speed of over 30 knots. A tank of massive 2500 liters fuel provides a range large (about 400 miles), ideal also for long cruises.
