Three-Sided Openness: This Beach Club Feature Changes Sea Connection
The Architects of the Unseen: Nauta’s New Vision
The superyacht market is experiencing a crucial shift toward greater volume and fluid space. Antonini Navi, leveraging the industrial experience of Gruppo Antonini SpA (since 1943), has committed to this principle. They selected Nauta Yachts, renowned for designing some of the world’s largest masterpieces, to pen the Light63M. This is not a casual collaboration; it is a strategic investment in design that guarantees refined aesthetic balance and the functional elegance required for large custom yachts. The partnership proves that true architectural intellect is the ultimate currency in modern yacht construction.
Light63M: The Geometry of Space and Flow
The core philosophy of Light63M is the optimization of space and the fluid relationship between indoor and outdoor areas. With a massive volume of approximately 1,180 GT at 63.5 meters, the yacht maximizes usable space. The exteriors are defined by continuous architectural lines and balanced proportions, conveying a visual sense of lightness. The alternation between glazed and opaque surfaces creates a clean and recognisable profile, one that will remain elegant and stylish over time.
The Aft Strategy: Openness on Three Sides
The Light63M strategically transforms the stern into an essential social hub. The yacht features a beach club with a spa that is designed to open up on three sides. This bold architectural choice promotes continuity with the sea while ensuring functionality and privacy. Right alongside, a panoramic gym is situated to benefit from natural light on three sides and a skylight, emphasizing wellness. This design philosophy ensures that the yacht is optimized for movement and interaction with the natural world.
Industrial Might: Backed by 1943 Expertise
The assurance that Project Light63M will be executed with precision rests on Antonini Navi’s industrial foundation. Based in the prestigious “Blue Mile” shipbuilding district of La Spezia, the shipyard operates over 33,000 square meters of yards, with four dedicated slots for yacht construction. This substantial infrastructure, combined with an in-house technical department with decades of experience, enables Antonini Navi to offer construction and refit services for yachts up to 70 meters. This synergy of expertise and industrial scale is what makes the partnership with Nauta so sound.
The Final Word on Flow: Crew and Guests
The onboard layout prioritizes efficiency and discretion. The crew have direct access to the guest cabins on the lower deck, and large service areas on all decks minimize traffic in the communal spaces. This design strategy maintains guest privacy. The interiors, taking inspiration from a contemporary Mediterranean aesthetic, use natural materials, warm tones, and light-colored surfaces. The combination of built-in elements and freestanding furniture provides flexibility and the possibility of customisation, confirming the yacht’s focus on harmonious, relaxing spaces.
