Learning a lot with each new construction and the experience acquired in the past 26 years, 46 embarkations later, Perini Navi delivers with bass drums and cymbals, the 56 meter sailing boat called “Riela”, this ship is floating poetry, each detail so careful it is close to obsession, a delicate line, elegant and fluid that takes us from stern to bow with the elegance that marks this Italian shipyard.

The exterior, clean and simple, is a place in which you can enjoy so much of the navigation like a pleasant afternoon outside, with its spacious and well drawn hallways and stairways.
With an outdoor jacuzzi, three seating areas, each one with a table (two at stern and one at starboard) and in the furthest part two command posts each one on one side.

 

The main deck is the widest and more spacious. Two broad hallways meet at the bow where they open up giving way to two garages for tenders, one on each side, and peak, like all great sailing boats, in a very sharp bow.

The stern part has an extensible swimming platform that grants access to the water from the main deck, a pretty ingenious mechanism. On the port’s side, near the stern, we find another extensible platform that also allows us to access the water.

The interior part of the main deck, from stern to bow, leads us through ample spaces to an exterior covered lounge, found three rungs underneath the general level of this deck.

 

Towards the bow we find an 8 person dining room at the stern a bar, next to a small room at port, everything in this section is in contrasting tones, between light colors and dark ones. A few steps ahead we find the main command bridge.

Everything on the interior was designed by Rémi Tessier, a 45 year old architect, French and practically self taught with an exceptional taste that resulted perfectly in this interior, sober, modern, elegant and clean.

The owner’s cabin is a delight using the biggest sleeve just on the center of the yacht, from port to starboard we find a bathroom with a tub and separate showers, sink or him/her, exiting the bathroom we find a very broad dressing room, crossing a door we enter the cabin that has a marital bedroom directed to the stern, in front of the bed a trunk and further ahead a double couch oriented towards the bow, there is a mirror as a headset for the couch , and like I previously mentioned, it serves as a hiding place for a screen. At starship we find a dressing table.

 

There are four crew cabin’s, the first at port is the captain’s, with a marital bed and its own bathroom, on the other side of the cabin there is a bunk bed and another individual bed with also their own bathroom. There are two twin cabins at the bow with bunk beds and their own bathroom. Another cabin is found in this deck in the stern at port.

 

Without a doubt Perini Navi is a shipyard with an easy said strategy but hard to pull off, top customer service and quality, a combination that has provided with 40% of yacht participation over 150 ft. And had taken them to explore a new ground, motor yachts, but this is saved for the future.
