NAVIS Oct / Nov 2011

Melek, the ninth yacht in the 56-meter series of Perini Navi, never looks back. Far away from her first version in 2003(Burrasca), the shipyard has succeeded in crowning the evolution of this model with an authentic “ketch sapiens.” Apparently, the ninth time is the charm. From an aerial view, the greatest innovation is seen in the deck design and in the aluminum superstructure. But that is not all. Overflying the vessel in a spiral descent, there is the flybridge, with an ample sunbathing area and a bubbly Jacuzzi. Of course, all our expectations are lived up to by the fiftieth member in the Perini Navi family. Again, the fiftieth time is the charm.

INDIO is designed to offer experienced and passionate navigators all the features required for a round-the-world high-performance cruiser, capable of comfortably accommodating your family, including young children. All Wally’s sailing ships allow the helmsman to easily steer the ship solo, both safely and comfortably. Indio’s high performance results from the cutting-edge technology applied to her pre-preg carbon composite construction, titanium deck fittings, and her fixed 5-meter keel with flaps. Her displacement of just 59 tones results from this weight reduction development.

Step aboard Blue Eyes and you instantly find yourself transported to a world filled with shells, coral, and luxury. Everywhere you look, Blue Eyes has a personal touch that communicates something special about your experience onboard the yacht. That personal touch comes from the owner’s wife, who not only named Blue Eyes, but spent her time engaged in every decision made while designing the yacht. Everything from the window curtain ties to the antique Chinese tables reflects her personal vision.

Azimut has a history of creating some of the most innovative, luxurious designs in the yachting industry. The Azimut 62 has reigned as the most influential and sought after yachts for years. Until now. Using the experience gained by building the 62, Azimut designers learned that they could make another giant leap forward. Their efforts have finally been revealed in the Azimut 64, a fitting heir to the dynasty solidified by the 62.
