A superyacht over sixty meters long is not just an exercise in style. It's an industrial, technical and functional project, where every choice has an impact on navigation, maintenance and life on board. With the Light63M, Antonini Navi shows its ambitions.
Meeting growing demand for yachts over 500 GT
Over the past year, Antonini Navi has seen an increase in requests for yachts over 500 GT. The Light63M (estimated at 1,180 GT) fits directly into this category. Size, tonnage and efficiency of interior circulation have become key criteria. Volumes allow more flexible layouts, but also impose greater demands in terms of standards, technical access and compliance with international regulations.
Controlling on-board flows: the challenge of ergonomics and discretion
On the Light63M, the layout of the corridors clearly distinguishes the paths of crew and guests. Direct access to the cabins from the service areas means that interventions can be carried out without disrupting the living spaces. The layout of the beach club, open on three sides with a spa, offers a relaxing space connected to the sea, while remaining functional. This type of organization is becoming the norm for yachts of this size.
Interior spaces: Mediterranean aesthetics and modularity
The Light63M adopts an ambience inspired by the Mediterranean basin: natural materials, sober colors, integrated furniture and detachable elements. This approach aims for a high degree of personalization without excessive technical complexity. The layout of the gymnasium, with its panoramic views and skylights, and the private terraces for the owner's suite and VIP cabin, illustrate this desire to offer adaptable living spaces.
Production facilities: Antonini Navi aims for semi-custom mass production
The La Spezia site boasts 33,000 m2 of floor space, including 4,200 m2 of covered space, with 4 building bays. This capacity makes it possible to mix custom and semi-custom construction. The Light63M could serve as the basis for an adapted series. With a team of over 200 people, including an integrated design office, the shipyard relies on vertical expertise to control quality and deadlines. Three projects are currently underway, including two for established owners.
Techniques and know-how: naval architecture and design put to the test
The Light63M's design is by Nauta Yachts, while the hull and technical plans are by Arrabito Naval Architects. The choice of a steel and aluminum structure, classic for this size, reveals a desire for industrial mastery. Energy efficiency, stability at anchor, and balanced seaworthiness are the main priorities. The project was validated according to a rigorous process, without compromising on technical feasibility.
