Monokini is the natural evolution of the 44 FAST line, whose first two models were M/Y Tatiana per Sempreand her sistership Apache II. Featuring an aggressive silver hull, this yacht is characterised by outstanding, streamlined, sleek outer lines reflecting the unmistakable style of designer Francesco Paszkowski Design, who keeps interpreting the Seagull’s philosophy at best. Her soft, stylish interiors have been created by designer Alberto Mancini, while Baglietto took care of naval architecture and engineering aspects.
44m-long, 8.30m-wide and featuring an aluminium hull and superstructure, this yacht can host 10 passengers in 5 cabins, all located on the lower deck, as well as 8 crew members. Thanks to 2 MTU 3600hp engines she can reach an impressive maximum speed of 30 knots in the utmost comfort, while the 4 at-anchor stabilisers grant flawless stability even when the yacht is far out at sea.
The interiors draw inspiration from the rational and yet sophisticated world of aviation. Wood, steel and leather – the materials used all over the yacht – combine harmoniously into a skilful blend of cream, beige and grey shades that create a stylish, refined atmosphere.
Nabuk leather coffee tables and the dark Wengé and satin steel dining table; the lamps combining steel, silk shantung and Nabuk leather. Satin steel outlines the sober style of handles, solid wood cabinets and anti-rolling systems. Another important detail are the sofa backrests, which are collapsible and therefore allow to obtain even larger seats.
The wood used for the bulwarks – bleached sycamore – can also be found in all ceiling panels and, together with the ash & Wengé parquet and the dove-colour silk inserts, conveys a sense of calm and refinement.
The atmosphere is comfortable and relaxing, similar to that found on large private jets, and is further enhanced by a skilful use of lighting, aimed at ‘softening’ the wood curves even more.
Lighting has been carefully studied also when designing the cabins: all lights are indeed intentionally hidden, with indirect sources managed by the onboard home automation system allowing to select – also from a mini iPad – not only various pre-set scenarios, but also all Bang & Olufsen video and stereo systems. Inside the cabins – where sycamore is juxtaposed with different types of leather – the colour of teak harmoniously combines with that of the streaks of the brushed Botticino marble, the material used for the washbasins.
Outdoor areas play a key role on this yacht: forward, a sundeck in front of the helm station windshield allows to enjoy a pleasant conversation area, while the two collapsible balconies can be converted into magnificent terraces overlooking the sea, for total relaxation. The roomy flybridge features a day area with sofas, sun loungers and a dining area with two small tables that can be joined together to obtain one single large table seating up to 12 people.
The very distinguishing feature on this yacht are the two collapsible side balconies: two wonderful terraces allowing guests to enjoy incredibly relaxing moments just over the sea.
Thanks to two 3600hp MTU engines, the Monokini can reach an impressive maximum speed of 30 knots, while the 4 at-anchor stabilisers grant flawless stability even when the yacht is far out at sea.
The yacht will be classified RINA and MCA for commercial purposes.
After the launch Monokini will remain at the shipyard until June for the completion of onboard fitting-out operations. She will then be on display at Cannes and Monaco international boat shows.
