A new-generation flagship flybridge

The 30M arrived as one of the yard's Low Emission Yachts, a family engineered to burn between 20 and 30 per cent less fuel than a conventional yacht of the size. It carries five cabins for ten guests and a crew of five, so it sits solidly in the larger Grande bracket. The design intent is efficiency that never reads as a compromise on space or speed. It made its world debut at the 2025 Cannes show as a statement of the yard's direction. For owners watching fuel and emissions, it is a genuinely modern answer.

Beam runs to 7.3 metres, which gives the interior serious width, and the superstructure is built in carbon fibre to keep weight high up under control. Alberto Mancini drew the exterior and the m2atelier studio shaped the interior. The naval architecture comes from P.L. Ausonio with the yard's research department. The result is a contemporary, light-footed superyacht with a strong environmental story, and it reads as fresh and forward-looking against the rest of the fleet.

Deck architecture and outdoor living

The standout feature is the Infinity Skydeck in walkaround form, a flybridge concept that lets guests move right around the upper deck with uninterrupted views. Below it the Deck2Deck terrace folds the transom and cockpit into a single sea-level space. Together they turn the aft of the boat into a layered outdoor resort. An optional hardtop shades the upper deck for long days in the sun. The sense of connection to the water runs through every level.

The main deck opens fully to the cockpit through frameless glass, and the foredeck carries a sunbathing and lounge zone. Guests can spread across several distinct areas at anchor, from the shaded flybridge to the beach club at the water. A tender garage keeps the aft deck clear for dining and entertaining. Wide side decks make the boat safe and easy to move around. It is a yacht built for a life lived outdoors.

Interior and comfort

m2atelier gave the interior a calm, tactile palette with long horizontal lines that draw the eye to the glass and the sea beyond. The owner enjoys a full-beam suite, and four guest cabins below keep the party comfortable and private. Ceiling heights and wide sightlines make the volume feel generous throughout. Hull windows bring daylight into the lower deck so it stays bright and open. The materials are chosen to feel warm and to wear well over long seasons.

The lower deck houses crew quarters for a team of five, so the boat is set up for professional operation on longer programmes. Storage, galley flow and service routes are worked out for extended cruising with a full guest list. The carbon build frees up genuine volume without adding displacement. Living aboard for weeks is exactly what the accommodation was drawn to support. For owners who host at length, it sustains the pace with ease.

Efficiency and performance

Twin MTU engines at 1,800 hp drive pods, giving a top speed of around 25 knots and an easy cruise near 20 knots. The efficiency comes from the D2P hull form and the carbon build, which let the boat carry its volumes with less power. This is where the Low Emission claim is earned in real fuel figures. The saving reaches between 20 and 30 per cent against a conventional yacht of similar size. Owners get a lower running cost per mile without losing pace.

Pod propulsion also makes the 30M far easier to manoeuvre than its size suggests, a real benefit when berthing stern-to in a busy harbour. Joystick control turns a difficult mooring into a calm, single-handed job. The hull holds a level, quiet attitude at cruise so guests stay comfortable. Longer coastal passages pass without drama. It is a boat that pairs an efficiency story with genuine capability.

The owner it suits

The 30M is for the owner who wants the newest outdoor-living ideas and a real efficiency story on the same boat. Buyers drawn to the walkaround skydeck and the beach-club transom will find little else quite like it at the length. It suits families and hosts who treat the deck as the main event. The five-cabin layout and crew of five support long, ambitious seasons. For many owners it is the most complete modern flybridge in the range.

It equally appeals to owners conscious of fuel and emissions who refuse to give up speed or space to get there. For a long Mediterranean or Caribbean season run by a professional crew, the 30M is a confident choice. The environmental credentials add resale appeal as the market shifts. Its Cannes debut has kept demand strong since launch. Owning one puts a buyer at the front of the yard's thinking.

Who it is for: The owner who wants the latest walkaround deck architecture and a real efficiency gain without giving up flybridge space.
