MONDO MARINE PRESENTS A PREVIEW OF THE M43 PROJECT, A COLLABORATION WITH THE MILAN-BASED STUDIO ‘HOT LAB YACHT & DESIGN’.

MONDO MARINE’S M43 IS A 43-METER MOTOR YACHT designed by the Designer Studio ‘Hot Lab Yacht & Design’. This project, based on the same philosophy originally applied to the M50 (also by Hot Lab), successfully strikes the balance between beautiful and practical, exterior and interior, lavish and livable spaces with a welcoming family feeling enhanced by the combination of her elegant and sporty lines.

THE GENEROUS VOLUMES ARE COMPARABLE TO THOSE USUALLY CHARACTERIZING LARGER BOATS, however without compromising the design dynamic and sporty connotation. The interplay of empty and filled spaces optimizes the introduction of large windows, often full height, and reduces the visual impact of the significant volumes.

THE AESTHETIC OF THE STERN AREA IS LOW AND SLEEK, characterized by the presence of two symmetrical staircases to allow access into the aft deck and, through here, to the beach club that thanks to its folding central part turns into a sea platform. This area has the dual function of recreation area and garage for the tender.

THE WIDE BODY TYPE OF UPPER DECK HOSTS ALSO THE WHEELHOUSE thus allowing optimum use of internal heights. The top, well developed in length to accommodate a very large fly bridge, is characterized by bold and dynamic lines harmoniously relating to the deck. Here rise the wide windows giving light to the upper salon, the wing-stations and the windshield characterized by a strong inclination. The windscreen forward area has been specifically developed in height in order to emphasize the surrounding volumes and to accommodate a large and practical outdoor living room.

SPEAKING OF THE FRESH AND INNOVATIVELY DYNAMIC LAYOUT, THE SUN DECK IS DESIGNED AS AN AREA TOTALLY DEDICATED TO WELL-BEING. We find a large swimming pool that, set between two comfortable sunbathing areas, is practically invisible from the outside, a lounge area and a bar of considerable dimensions, whereas the aft area is conceived as a multifunctional area that can accommodate some sunbathing loungers or a comfortable dining table.

THE LOWER DECK FEATURES TWO MASSIVE FULL-BEAM VIP CABINS AND TWO FOR GUESTS AT THE CENTER, all of them with en-suites and so generously sized to suggest a larger vessel. In the forward area of the lower deck we find the crew quarters for 10 people complete with a large crew mess and a convenient laundry area.

THE MAIN DECK, CHARACTERIZED BY THE INTERACTION BETWEEN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE, HAS A GENEROUSLY SIZED INDOOR LOUNGE WHICH TENDS TO NATURALLY EXPAND TOWARDS THE AFT COCKPIT: the layout of the bar at the
entrance to the main saloon creates a sort of axis of symmetry between the two lounge areas: the inner and the outer one, merging them effectively into a single element. Immediately further on is the dining area with full height windows giving again the feeling of being indoors and outdoors at the same time.

THE LARGE OWNER CABIN IN THE BOW FURTHER REINFORCES THIS CONCEPT BY HAVING ALL THE FIXED FURNITURE TO THE TRANSVERSE BULKHEADS and leaving only to a few sinuous and upholstered items the task of coming between the Owner and the openings to the outside armchairs and chaise lounges that do not actually hide the horizon.

THE LOBBY OCCUPIES THE CENTRAL PORTION OF THE MAIN DECK on the starboard side and leads to the other large semi-enclosed space of this motor yacht: the upper deck salon. A more informal room, deliberately designed with a symmetrical spiral arrangement which also in this case draws the guests’ attention simultaneously to the spacious outside dining area and to the indoor bar to the left, effectively creating two separate gathering places for the guests into one multipurpose space. Still on the upper deck is the wheelhouse with two side doors to connect with the wing stations.

FROM A TECHNICAL POINT OF VIEW THE HULL IS A STATE OF ART. The innovative hull has been patented by the Arrabito studio and guarantees 20 percent greater efficiency (lowering fuel costs) when compared with traditional semi-displacement hulls.

MONDO MARINE | The long-established Savona Shipyard was first set up in 1915 under the name of Campanella Shipyard (as the company was then known).

In 1978 Mondo Group created Mondo Marine that for from the original production in Alba of mid-sized yachts, in the early nineties moved to custom-made yachts over the 40 m. length in aluminium alloy and steel, transferring the shipyard to Genoa and later to the current Savona location (former Campanella’s).

IN THE FIRST HALF OF 2013 MONDO MARINE S.P.A. WAS TAKEN OVER BY MR. ALESSANDRO FALCIAI AND MR. ROBERTO ZAMBRINI WHO OFFICIALLY SEALED THE ACQUISITION OF THE COMPANY’S BRAND AND PRODUCTION SITE ON MAY 30, 2013.

New Owners decided to set up MONDO MARINE MC in order to transfer the commercial and marketing duties from the long-established Savona shipyard to the prestigious location in Monaco, 8 Avenue des Ligures

Following its tradition, Mondo Marine will continue to carry on designing and building ships at the Savona production site still offering full-cycle production right from the cutting of the hull plates all the way to completion.

62 are the units built so far by Mondo Marine in addition to the number previously reached by Campanella Shipyard. During the last 8 years Mondo Marine delivered 10 yachts over 40m length and 6 over 50m including the well-known M/Y TRIBU’, the first unit to be awarded Green Star certification by RINA.

In 2015 will be delivered: the M60, first 60m yacht built by the shipyard, and the 40m SF40, both entirely in aluminium.

The Savona shipyard, member of SYBAss (Superyacht Builder Association), has recently reached another landmark when sealing a partnership with Sease Yachting Co. Ltd for the production of fiberglass yachts for the Chinese market.
