Discovering Rossinavi’s Seawolf X Superyacht
Design, sustainability and technology meet in this stunning new luxury catamaran
If superyachts were clothes Rossinavi would be a haute-couture atelier. The Italian shipyard makes only fully custom boats, with great attention to design and environmental issues. Their latest marvel, the M/Y Seawolf X, is a hybrid-electric catamaran that pushes the boundaries of design and technology. Designed by Fulvio de Simoni, with interiors by the New York-based architecture firm Meyer Davis Studio, it’s a testament to Rossinavi’s commitment to innovation, design and luxury. Visiting the boatyard and meeting its people gives a real sense of passion and commitment. It also unveils a point of view on luxury based on a deep knowledge of the sector and an original vision for its future.
Sustainability is also a crucial element at Rossinavi, as demonstrated by BluE, their advanced eco-friendly boating technology, which is featured on the new M/Y Seawolf X. This technology gets inspiration from phytoplankton, a form of sea life that generates oxygen using solar energy and produces bioluminescence at night. This natural process inspired a hybrid-electric boating platform that stores solar energy during the day to power navigation free from noises, odors and emissions.
Needless to say, in luxury, the preservation of nature should go hand in hand with pleasure. That’s why BluE uses solar panels to capture and convert sunlight into energy, optimizing performance and enhancing the experience, for example drastically reducing the noise of the engines. It enables full-electric cruising for daily use and up to 80% energy autonomy on transatlantic journeys, with minimal reliance on diesel-electric mode, which is still necessary but substantially reduced. Further, an onboard AI system enhances the experience by monitoring habits, suggesting energy-saving behaviors and providing information about the surroundings.
Rossinavi uses design and tech to fully customize each superyacht to meet the owner’s needs. Simoni‘s catamaran design for the Seawolf X is based on curved yet sharp lines, evident from the side, where two arches intersect forming a sort of infinite loop. One particularly challenging step was hiding the solar panels that are perfectly integrated with the surfaces.
For anyone interested, it will be possible to admire Rossinavi’s Seawolf X catamaran in Monte Carlo for the Monaco Yacht Show in September.
