News: Perini Navi Unveils 92M 'Argonaut' Design

Perini Navi 92-meter 'Argonaut' Design
​

Italian sailboat builder Perini Navi recently unveiled a concept for a 92-meter motoryacht. It is called the 'Argonaut' and it will look familiar because it is essentially an enlarged platform of their sailboat hulls minus sailing appendages and characteristics leading to a different underwater hull suited for motoryacht sailing. It is penned to be a 20-knot boat and fast cruise at a comfortable 14-knots all possible using a pair of 3600Kw diesel engines.

Argonaut is on a wide stance with a 15-meter beam, that is nearly 50-feet. Her onboard living should be translated into full comfort surrounded by luxury amenities. A generous 2,200 GT of internal volume awaits with this design. The hull would be made from steel with a lighter aluminium superstructure. Unlike the sailboats Perini builds, this yacht will have two full decks of superstructure with no flying bridge to speak of. Amenities envisioned onboard include wide open deck spaces dotted with outdoor furniture to add to the relaxation appeal. A sunken cockpit forward of the superstructure on main deck level features a built-in jacuzzi pool and plush sofas lining the port and starboard sides. Provision for shade sails has been made to keep the direct overhead sun's rays off the space.

Below on the lower aft deck is a beach club. Side shell doors fold downwards to form a terrace on the sea. A wide swim platform will be used to sunbathe on, service tender ops or as direct access to the ocean. Onboard, Perini envisions seven cabins to be fitted to accommodate up to fourteen guests. Thirteen cabins for as many as twenty-three crew will be housed. Perini Navi says the concept is, "one of the purest expressions of the brand’s philosophy and a perfect example of a cross fertilization from the sailing world".
