The Picchiotti 50 metre Superyacht EXUMA is the first motor yacht built by Perini Navi from the Vitruvius® series. The new generation, Picchiotti Vitruvius®-series motor yacht, born from the collaboration between Vitruvius Ltd, Philippe Briand and the Perini Navi Group, is conceived with a focus on top efficiency for fully autonomous, reliable and elegant navigation.

These concepts of the Picchiotti – Vitruvius series are realized in the hull and superstructure design, the organization of the guest and crew accommodations and the onboard equipment that will allow for the discovery and exploration of the surrounding environment.

Efficiency
Philippe Briand, naval architect and designer of the Vitruvius® concept, was inspired by the streamlined principles of sailboat hulls, where the lines of design, volume distribution and the study of weights are optimized to attain the best efficiency.
The aluminium hull, follows the principles of the Briand Optimized Stretched (BOS®) Hull and is characterized by streamlined, limited waterline length and a straight and deep bow. The BOS® Hull, and two zero speed roll stabilisers endow the hull with exceptional cruising stability. Combined with the installed power, these features ensure long-term navigation in total safety and tranquillity. Motor yacht Exuma’s gross tonnage is under 500 tons, and displaces about 400 tons. She features a reduced draft of 2.3 metres that allows navigation in shallow waters.

Spaces aboard
Vitruvius superyacht Exuma, features unparalleled interior and exterior space design and organization. The successful study of
the proportions between hull and superstructure allowed for large spaces dedicated to ensuring privacy among guests onboard, equipment for exploration, stowage of materials. This was obtained by introducing double independent stairs and two walkways.

Exploration
Exuma motor yacht was designed with a strong aptitude for exploration in mind. Indeed, it allows a range of over 5,500 miles at a speed of 12 knots. This is attained due to the 75,000 litres of fuel and 17,000 litres of fresh water tankage. A particular characteristic of this yacht is the capability (thanks to 115 dedicated m2) of stowing large amounts of equipment and gear on board in order to be able to venture out into the most beautiful and remote areas of the world.
Inside the two fore lateral garages with gull-wing doors actuated by hydraulic pistons, Exuma MY houses a 16.4’ amphibious vehicle, completely customised with Iveco Campagnola mechanical components and frame, and a Hov Pod 12’ hovercraft.
Further, superyacht Exuma has additional space to host 2 tenders, measuring 21’ and 14’, 2 electric scooters, 2 Seabobs and 1 Sea-Doo RXT 250 jet ski. The yacht is also equipped with diving areas and equipment.

Exterior
The stylistic elements of the Vitruvius® project, motoryacht Exuma, are embodied in the optimal balance between straight and curved lines, together with the presence of large glass windows that confer high visibility and luminosity to every deck of the yacht. In particular, the large, double-curvature, bombé glass windows of the bridge deck offer a spectacular full-circle panorama. These windows distinguish the yacht’s lines and make them unique.
The use of titanium in all the external handrails combine extremely high reliability even in the most extreme conditions of use with perfect chromatic harmony with the yacht’s hull. On the superstructure, two ventilation grills integrated within the yacht’s line stand out as an aesthetic element, while the elegant mast for communication antennae, the navigation radars and the powerful searchlight is arranged on the superstructure roof.

Bridge deck
The bridge deck of the M/Y Exuma is characterized by large glass doors and the spacious side deck conceived to enjoy a full view of the surrounding panorama. This deck can be accessed either through the internal stair in the lobby or through the two external corridors. Besides the helm, the captain’s office and a pantry, the bridge deck features a spacious saloon with L-shaped sofa, a coffee table, armchairs and an entertainment area. The outdoor living concept embodied by this yacht is ensured by two comfortable chaise-lounges for sunbathing and a large, accessorized Spa Pool with integrated banquette, equipped also with useful peaks for stowage of materials. Access to the second boarding ladder, designed for substantially high docks, is located along the starboard corridor.
From the external corridors, in which two side control stations for docking maneuvers are located, we access the totally open flush deck, that can also be used by guests as a party/sunbathing area. Here, two deck hatches allow access and use of the rescue boat and the jet ski, both handled by the davit crane located beside them. The stern maneuvering area, recessed and protected with windlasses, is equipped for all maneuvers typical of this type of yacht.

The port deck constitutes the crew’s main entrance, contains the engine room’s emergency exit ladder and several fittings for side docking.
An elegant and functional glass sliding door leads to the entrance of the main open-space saloon, characterized by large glass windows that confer exquisite visibility and luminosity to the yacht. The living area, equipped with every latest generation entertainment device, is comprised of three C-shaped sofas located on the port side, while the dining area hosts a table that can be modified, is capable of seating up to 10 people, and is completed by a useful pantry.

Foreword by Philippe Briand
“There is no more delightful way of life for a ‘sea lover’ than on a yacht ‐ whether it be a sailing or motor yacht. It gives me genuine pleasure to be involved in the realisation of ‘sea lovers’ dreams as their naval architect. I hope that by listening to clients and nurturing their aspirations I can even transcend their wishes.
Yachts symbolise the desire to live life to the fullest and are always the realisation of a dream. My yachts are a true escape for all the owners and their guests. However, in today’s world I find it hard to justify the realisation of our dream might affect the basic livelihood of the next generations, which is why eco‐credentials are so important to us. The yachting industry has been driven forward by the ideas of our exceptional clients. They are clients with real ambitions and vision, people that innovate and are at the forefront of their industries. It is my opinion that those qualities, combined with the industry’s excellence, should be the drivers of true progress in our field as well as in all fields we touch.
From the beginning, the most basic tenet of Vitruvius® yacht design been our determination to ensure as much sustainability and ecological awareness as possible. We have put into practice what others have only talked about as possibilities for the future.”
Many people have tried to conceive an ecologically responsible yacht, Vitruvius® Yachts and Perini Navi are the very first to launch a yacht following these principles. Exuma motor yacht is here.
