From Alchemy to award winner
Lasata was delivered in 2023 under the name Alchemy, and within a year she had been named Motor Yacht of the Year at the industry's main awards. At 65.7 metres she sits among the larger boats Rossinavi has built, and she carried the yard's growing confidence with big steel hulls. A change of ownership brought the new name Lasata, but the yacht and its reputation carried over intact. Winning the top award so soon after launch is rare, and it put a young design squarely in the spotlight.
The award mattered for a yard that still builds only a handful of boats a year. It put Rossinavi in direct company with far larger production names and confirmed that its full-custom model could produce a boat judged best in class. For prospective owners, that recognition is a useful shorthand for the quality of the work. It also gave the Lasata name a head start on the brokerage circuit, where a fresh accolade travels fast.
A Vitruvius hull under an Italian skin
The naval architecture and exterior came from Vitruvius, a studio known for long, efficient hull forms that cut fuel use at cruising speed. On Lasata that thinking shows in a lean bow and a low, stretched profile. The steel hull carries an aluminium superstructure and a teak deck, the standard Rossinavi recipe for a boat of this size. Vitruvius hulls are drawn to slip through the water with less resistance, which pays back in lower fuel burn on every passage.
Enrico Gobbi of Team for Design handled the interior, giving the yacht a warm, contemporary feel that suits family use. The exterior and interior briefs were kept in step, so the calm lines outside carry through to the living spaces. The result reads as a quiet, confident boat with nothing to prove. That coherence between naval architect and interior designer is not a given on custom projects, and it lifts the finished yacht.
Delivered as Alchemy, crowned Motor Yacht of the Year, then quietly sold on.
Room for a family and its guests
Lasata accommodates twelve guests across six staterooms, with a crew of fifteen to run her. The layout favours sociable, open living areas over rigid formality, in line with how owners increasingly use boats of this size. Gobbi's interior uses natural materials and soft tones to keep the mood relaxed across long stays aboard. At this length an owner is effectively running a small hotel at sea, and the plan was drawn to make that feel effortless.
The volume of a 1,190 GT hull gives the designers room to work without crowding. Deck spaces are generous, and the yacht is set up for extended cruising rather than short harbour hops. That balance of space and comfort is a large part of why she charters well. The extra volume also allows proper crew areas, which keeps service smooth on long charters.
Built to cover distance quietly
Power comes from a pair of Caterpillar engines, a proven and serviceable choice for a displacement yacht of this length. Top speed sits around 16 knots, which is ample for a boat designed to cruise at a measured pace. The Vitruvius hull is the real engineering story, trading outright speed for economy and range. Reliability counts for more than headline pace on a boat meant to spend weeks away from a marina.
With a range near 4,000 nautical miles, Lasata can cross oceans on her own bottom and reach cruising grounds far from home. For an owner who plans long seasons and the occasional passage, that reach removes a good deal of logistical worry. The efficient hull also keeps running costs in check, which matters over a full year of operation. Lower fuel bills and long legs between ports are exactly what a serious cruising owner wants to see.
A strong hand on the used market
A recent build, an award and a well-regarded design team give Lasata a firm position on the brokerage market. She sold off-market after her win, which speaks to the level of demand for a boat with her record. Yachts that combine a fresh delivery date with a headline prize rarely sit unsold for long. Buyers reading a listing treat a recent major award as a shortcut through months of due diligence.
For Rossinavi, Lasata is proof that the yard can turn a full-custom brief into a boat the wider industry rates above its production rivals. She also shows the value of bringing in an outside naval architect like Vitruvius rather than doing everything under one roof. That openness has become part of the Rossinavi pitch. For a yard that competes on trust as much as on price, that outside validation matters.
Engines and systems
| Engines | Twin Caterpillar C32, 1,115 hp (820 kW) each at 2,100 rpm, in a diesel-electric configuration rather than direct mechanical drive. |
|---|---|
| Propulsion | Twin Veth azimuthing pods paired with Rossinavi's Zero Noise system, intended to cut sound and vibration by several decibels versus a conventional shaftline. |
| Speed and range | 12 knots cruise, 16 knots maximum, 4,000 nautical miles at 12 knots. |
| Fuel and water | 100,000 litres of fuel, 27,000 litres of fresh water. |
| Hull | Steel hull, aluminium superstructure, teak deck; naval architecture and exterior by Vitruvius (Philippe Briand). |
| Vibration isolation | Engines and generators sit on a double cradle designed to absorb movement, part of the same quiet-running brief as the pod drive. |
What owners and crew report
The staircase is a genuine engineering achievement, not just a design statement
The judging panel called the suspended glass staircase a sculptural centrepiece that opens up the main salon, and singled it out among the yacht's standout features when awarding Motor Yacht of the Year.

Judges noted the interior's thoughtful approach to storage as one of the details that made the yacht a worthy winner, alongside the exterior styling and the hull's efficiency.

What is good, and what to watch
Strong points
- Motor Yacht of the Year 2024Won the World Superyacht Awards' top prize within a year of delivery, judged by a panel of current and former superyacht owners.
- An engineered, not decorative, staircaseThe suspended glass staircase that anchors the main salon was singled out by judges as a genuine engineering achievement, not just a design flourish.
- Efficient hull for her sizeVitruvius drew a lean, low-resistance hull specifically to cut fuel use at cruising speed, and the diesel-electric plant with Veth pods is aimed at the same target plus lower noise and vibration.
- Storage designed in from the startJudges noted the interior treats storage as a planned element of the layout rather than an afterthought squeezed in later, a detail owners notice on long charters and buyers rarely ask about up front.
What to watch
- Modest top speed16 knots maximum and a 12-knot cruise; the diesel-electric plant is tuned for efficiency and quiet running, not pace.
- No published sale priceShe sold off-market, so there is no benchmark transaction price for a buyer to reason from.
- Award-fresh, track-record-thinA 2023 delivery and a single owner to date means there is no multi-season reliability record yet, independent of the yard's and judges' own assessments.
Practical detail
| Sale history | Sold off-market shortly after winning Motor Yacht of the Year 2024, under her original name Alchemy; the current owner renamed her Lasata. No sale price has been published. |
|---|---|
| Crew | 15 to 16 depending on source, across 9 crew cabins plus a separate captain's cabin. |
| Built and classed | Rossinavi, Viareggio, delivered July 2023. Lloyd's classed. |
| Range and running cost | 4,000 nautical miles at 12 knots from a 100,000-litre tank; the diesel-electric plant and Veth pods are built specifically to cut fuel burn and noise at that cruising speed rather than to chase top speed. |
| What is not published | No sale price, and no independent owner account beyond the awards judging process; treat the judges' comments below as an expert design assessment, not a season of ownership. |
