During the 2015 Monaco Yacht Show Fincantieri, leading western shipbuilding group, and Pininfarina, standard-bearer of the Italian design for 85 years, introduced the “Ottantacinque” concept of a latest generation luxury mega yacht.

"Ottantacinque” will be a cutting-edge mega yacht, 85 meters long, 2,460 gross tons, with 5 decks, each of which will be featuring technological solutions and exclusive interior fittings. Among the most significant details, the couple of twin pools on the main deck raised almost flushed with the side bulwark, alongside an elevated sunbed, offer uninterrupted views of the ocean. With an adjustable bottom, the water depth can be varied and even reduced to zero to create a large open platform spanning over 160 square meters.

 

 

The entire project is a merge of simplicity and functionality, innovation and style, elements which mark the assets of both companies and which are the pillars of the idea of Technological of Beauty.

“Ottantacinque” is the ambition of creating an Italian mega yacht, technologically advanced, with essential lines, comfortable and of absolute beauty: a meeting of excellences, able to express creativity, luxury and Italian manufacture to the utmost. After Destriero, “Ottantacinque” is the new result of the partnership between the two groups, both acknowledged worldwide as champions of the Italian industry and culture. It aims to be a strategic added value for both companies in the mega yacht segment, requiring extremely high quality and productive capacity levels. Fincantieri has channeled significant resources in this market niche, gaining important results starting from the creation of Fincantieri Yachts, the Group’s dedicated business unit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Counting on Fincantieri’s 230-years experience in shipbuilding, the company’s yacht unit offers unparalleled levels of design, style, reliability and quality in building vessels over 70 meters. The Pininfarina Group has been operating in the marine sector since the 60’s, leaving a lasting mark of its style on countless projects, from "one off" models made for special customers, to design activities of topsides and interiors for limited or wider series, both, sails and motor boats, offering technical and aesthetic solutions inspired by the automotive world, which represented something original in the marine sector.

Giuseppe Bono, CEO of Fincantieri, stated: “We already are among one of the few mega-yacht builders managing all the business activities, from sales to the product life cycle. Now, thanks to this stunning project, resulting from the partnership with Pininfarina, not only do we enhance our position in the sector with the highest industrial level collaboration, but also we are an Italian real point of reference in a market that, as all luxury niches, highly demands the capacities and taste of our country”.

“Ottantacinque” is the result of an excellent teamwork, in which both Fincantieri and Pininfarina have demonstrated to be perfectly in tune while developing the concept.

The result is a sculptural floating home with elegant and dynamic areas, where style meets function, aerodynamics, on board comfort, ergonomics. Every detail is designed to harmonize with the aesthetic theme of the yacht.
