The Rossinavi Pininfarina collaboration produced Aurea, a 70-meter superyacht concept that marks the first time the legendary Italian design house has applied its automotive design language to a yacht. Unveiled at the SuperYacht Gallery in London, Aurea blends Pininfarina's flowing, Ferrari-honed lines with Rossinavi's shipbuilding to create a vessel defined by sweeping curves, generous outdoor decks, and a name that means golden in Latin. Here is what makes this Rossinavi Pininfarina concept stand out.
Who are Rossinavi and Pininfarina?
Rossinavi cooperated for the first time with Italian design company Pininfarina, a cooperation that is mostly visible in the elegant line, a benchmark of Pininfarina's design language. Pininfarina is best known for penning more than one hundred Ferrari road and race cars, and that exotic supercar sensibility carries directly into the yacht. The result is a design where the broad portfolio of automotive work has shaped the proportions, the surfacing, and the overall feel of the vessel.
What is the Aurea yacht concept?
Unveiled June 1 at the SuperYacht Gallery in London, the Aurea concept gives a completely different look compared to the previous yacht released by Pininfarina, the Ottantacinque. The exterior, beautifully penned by the Italian design firm, features a smooth transition of curves and lines, where the frontal part of the yacht seamlessly blends with the elegant rear. Aurea draws inspiration from the Latin word for golden. The exterior features three distinct sections, with two upper decks that shape a very distinct silhouette.
What features does the Aurea superyacht offer?
In the upper deck, a terrace extends like a walkway over the edge, giving an unlimited view of the surrounding ocean. The terrace is perfect for sunbathing and relaxing during sunny days. Below the upper deck, an alfresco dining table sits near a Jacuzzi positioned at the edge. Coverage by Boat International highlights the unusually large beach club, made possible by placing the diesel-electric propulsion amidships rather than at the stern.
How is the interior arranged?
Inside, the guest cabins have a private balcony and large picture windows. Each of these cabins offers privacy to guests on a long journey. Below the second deck, the owner's deck is integrated into the interior design. Surrounded by large sliding glass doors, the space extends into a terrace that shifts into a private balcony leading to the bow area. As Robb Report notes, the brief was to make the most of the yachting experience through cutting-edge design and large social spaces.
