OPV 56, a superyacht with a totally custom military design

The designer Fulvio De Simoni, in collaboration with the Italian shipyard Antonini Navi, presents his latest concept, the OPV 56, a 56m superyacht clearly inspired by the military environment.

A military and austere design

OPV 56 (Offshore Patrol Vessel) is a 56m long custom superyacht project developed in partnership with Fulvio De Simoni for a European owner. Designed in aluminum, OPV 56 has a distinctly military design and austere look, with an imposing bow housing a helipad and yet modern and elegant lines. This project will be built by the Antonini Navi shipyard in Italy.

Numerous indoor and outdoor living spaces

On the flybridge, the wheelhouse is entirely reserved for the captain, with the steering position forward and his cabin with double bed aft. The exterior is equipped with a bar and a large bench facing the sea.

The upper deck is entirely dedicated to the master suite which has a bedroom forward with its private Jacuzzi, a small private lounge, a large bathroom and a very large lounge aft, leading to a terrace with bar, dining table and sun loungers.

Owner's cabin

The main deck is reserved for life on board with a VIP cabin in the bow, a dining room and a huge lounge in the stern. The large deck, occupying more than 150 m2, is multifunctional and can be adapted to meet all the requirements of customization. Thus, it can offer a beautiful sea view swimming pool with numerous relaxation areas or a fully flush deck to accommodate various water toys and thus serve as a support vessel. In the first version, there is a large tender garage on the lower deck.

Finally, the latter accommodates 4 guest cabins - one with two separate beds. The front is reserved for the crew with the galley, storage areas and cabins.
