Santasevera 52, a new modern open hull straight from Italy

The market for large dayboats welcomes a new player to the Italian market. Santasevera is entering this competitive market with models ranging from 40 to 52 feet, the first unit of which, the Santesevera 52, will be presented in autumn 2024. Its modern design gives way to a very large exterior space open to the sea.

Several à la carte programs

Santasevera is a new Italian motorboat brand with models ranging from 40 to 52 feet. The first model, 15.75 m long, is presented as a dayboat, daycruiser or chaseboat. To design the range, the manufacturer called on Francesco Guida, an Italian designer who has worked for Arcadia Yachts, Cetera Yachts and on numerous custom projects. Three models have already been designed, a 40-footer, a 46-footer and a 52-footer, two of which are currently under construction.

A very large cockpit open to the sea

The Santasevera 52 is an open hull with a very open deck plan, offering generous living space and modern lines. In addition to its 15 m length, its 5.05 m beam provides enough space to comfortably accommodate two couples or a family for a weekend.

Contrary to the walkaround trend, this model favors exterior space sheltered from the windshield and hard-top for maximum conviviality. The rigid hard-top provides protection from the sun and sea, and houses three ergonomic pilot seats, two on the starboard side of the cockpit and one on the port side.

At the rear, still protected by the hard-top, is a U-shaped seating area with a coffee table that converts into a dining table. Openings in the hard-top provide ventilation for this protected area.

A second sofa and a huge sundeck for four occupy the rear of the cockpit. Although very wide, the sunbathing area should in no way hinder movement via the wide gangways. Finally, a beautiful bathing platform completes this space, which is totally open to the sea at the stern.

Two beautiful cabins for weekend cruising

Below deck, the rounded, flared bow provides plenty of space for accommodation. There's a full-width master suite, with a central bed and access to a bathroom with separate shower, to which the twin cabin aft also has access, separate from the rest. A lounge area is located between the two cabins. There's plenty of storage space, and owners can choose between light and dark wood for decoration.

Three different propulsion systems

The Santasevera 52 can be fitted with a choice of three different propulsion systems: shaft or IPS system with inboard motors, or outboard motors, with a reasonable top speed of 30 knots.

The first hull will be launched in the summer of 2024, and presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September.
