Visiting the Mondo Marine stand at the Monaco Yacht Show this year, we were presented with a new 45-metre luxury semi-displacement tri-deck motor yacht BLADE created by the Italian shipyard in collaboration with Francesco Paszkowski.
The innovative superyacht project BLADE draws on the style traditions of northern European cleverly mixed with an Italian flair. The vintage elements aboard, including uprights in wood, fabric awnings, an internal staircase in wood as well as the most refined details, blend with an absolutely modern, yet timeless design.
Access to the yacht is across a central passerelle that separates two large sun pads and leads you to the stern cockpit, which is deliberately set lower to create an intimate environment that resembles the atmosphere of a sailing yacht.
BLADE superyacht envisages a European and an American version, with separate square windows.
The large beach area offers easy access to the sea and is modular. The area offers surprisingly large dimensions if the spaces for the two lateral garages, generally used to host large tenders, are instead used to create a gym, massage room, sauna and Turkish bath.
The windows are full height and run along a large part of the main deck, creating a stunning effect as the light floods in as well as continuing the dialogue between interior and exterior.
From the technical point of view the hull of the new BLADE yacht project by Paszkowski and Mondo Marine is state of the art. The innovative hull has been patented by the Arrabito studio and guarantees 20 percent greater efficiency (lowering fuel costs) when compared with traditional semi-displacement hulls.
The 45-metre “BLADE” is an important step forward for the yard as it expands its range of fast semi-displacement yachts.
