The Italian Sea Group has launched THIS IS IT, a ground-breaking new 43.5-metre motor catamaran for the Tecnomar fleet.
With a 14.5 metre beam and a weight of approximately 750GT, the THIS IS IT superyacht project sets a new benchmark in yacht design.
THIS IS IT represents an exciting new presence on the catamaran landscape. The new Tecnomar yacht defines conventional thinking with its unique and innovative design in which tradition and innovation come together to create a concept of radical lifestyle and elegance. Defined by a layout with striking asymmetries and a bold, eye-catching silhouette enveloped by more than 600 square metres of impressive glass windows.
The inspiration is technological, clearly far from typical yachting design and closer to civilian architecture. The yacht’s exterior lines, sinuous and soft, evoke fantastic sea creatures, challenging our perception of what is truly possible in a project that goes beyond the status quo, establishing a new benchmark for being an iconic project.
THIS IS IT was a significant challenge for the TISG design team. Starting with weight control, a factor of utmost importance considering the extensive amount of glass used, the resulting complex curved shape of the aluminium superstructure pushes the performance of this material to its limits.
The yacht’s hull lines are optimized to enhance hydrodynamic efficiency, leading to a significant reduction in fuel consumption and, therefore, emissions. In compliance with IMO Tier III requirements, the cat is also equipped with innovative exhaust gas treatment technology (SCR – Selective Catalytic Reduction) to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.
The interior design, with its 6 cabins, a massage room, and a galley with polarized glass for events and show cooking, mirrors the futuristic vision of the exteriors, and is enriched with refined details and sophisticated materials.
The spacious owner’s area, in addition to a large skylight with an extraordinary height of 3.3 metres and a superb panoramic terrace, features a special vertical garden spanning two decks, giving the feeling of being in a seaside villa.
Leather and Alcantara, oak and teak, dialogue with the sinuous shapes, marked by bold geometric cuts and grey marble inserts. The dominant mood is dynamic, in motion, enveloping and sporty, yet the colour palette is also elegant and refined, in which light tones of beige and platinum grey prevail. A luxurious persona is provided by the combined use of noble metals such as gold, bronze, titanium and carbon in contrast to the calmness of the natural wood tones and leather finishes.
Innovative design, speed and sportiness, characteristic elements of Tecnomar motor yachts make THIS IS IT a unique and exceptional catamaran.
The yacht will be presented for its world premiere at the Monaco Yacht Show.
