Aquamarina: A 47.5-Metre Icon Restored to Radiant Life

The 47.5-metre Aquamarina, built by ISA Yachts, has completed an extensive refit at MB92 Marseille that speaks to the careful stewardship of those who understand a vessel’s soul. Rendered in the distinctive blue that defines her character, the yacht’s Italian design remains utterly unmistakable: the sweep of her hull, the confidence of her profile, the precision of her proportions have only deepened with time and attention.

The €6 million refit has been approached with respect for Aquamarina’s inherent grace rather than reckless reinvention. Cristiano Gatto’s interiors showcase meticulous craftsmanship throughout, balancing the yacht’s original essence with contemporary comfort. The design philosophy favours substance over spectacle: natural materials, considered detailing, and spaces that reward extended occupation.

Two master suites anchor the accommodation, each a refuge of considered luxury. One opens onto a private terrace, offering the rare privilege of solitude at sea. The layout and proportions of each cabin reflect thoughtful planning, the kind that becomes apparent only after hours spent aboard, when a guest realises they have never once felt crowded or compromised by the confines of a floating vessel.

The open deck spaces, visible in teak and woven furnishings, suggest a yacht designed for actual use: entertaining without pretension, relaxation without performance. The sightlines to the horizon remain uncluttered. The helm works with purpose. The systems, refined through years of operation and now refreshed, speak to a builder’s commitment to reliability and longevity.

Aquamarina represents that particular category of superyacht that improves with age: a vessel with character entirely her own, maintained by those who recognise that true luxury resides in the excellence of execution rather than the accumulation of novelties. She is offered for sale through TWW Yachts.
