The first Prince Shark
Param Jamuna IV launched from Viareggio as hull FR027, the debut of the Prince Shark concept that Rossinavi developed with Team for Design. She made her public debut in early 2013 and was delivered later that year. As the first of the series she set the template for the sporting aluminium yachts that followed from the yard. Her arrival marked a confident stride for a marque still in its early years. As the debut hull she had to prove a whole new concept at once.
The Prince Shark platform paired a semi-displacement aluminium hull with a strong design identity, and Param Jamuna IV proved the formula worked. She showed brokers and owners that Rossinavi could deliver speed and style on a fully custom basis. The concept went on to spawn further hulls in the same family. This yacht is where that story begins. Owners could see that speed and fine finish were able to share one hull.
Gobbi's sporting profile
Enrico Gobbi and Team for Design gave Param Jamuna IV clean and dynamic lines that lend the aluminium hull a sporty and purposeful stance. The profile is lean and forward-leaning, with long window bands that stretch her visually. Gobbi kept the surfaces uncluttered so the yacht reads as fast even at rest. She has aged well because the styling never chased a passing trend. The face still looks quick even when she lies quietly at anchor.
The exterior gives guests a full complement of open air spaces across her decks. Sun areas, shaded dining and a broad aft deck make the most of warm cruising grounds. The design was drawn to look as good from a tender as it does from the quay. She remains one of the more elegant faces in the early Rossinavi fleet. Photographers have always found her an easy yacht to flatter.
The first Prince Shark, a fast 48 metre finished in Emperador marble and bleached oak.
Emperador marble and bleached oak
Inside, Team for Design worked a consistent palette through the whole yacht for a calm and cohesive feel. Emperador marble runs across the principal floors, set against opaque bleached oak joinery for a soft light-and-shade effect. Darker wenge wood grounds the lounges, while capitonne leather and light oak add texture and warmth. The lighting was designed architecturally, moving from soft washes to muted matte surfaces from one space to the next. The play of pale oak against dark stone gives every room real depth.
Accommodation is arranged for up to twelve guests in six suites, with the layout built around comfort and privacy. The interior feels considered and residential, the kind of space that holds up over years of ownership. Gobbi's material choices give the rooms a natural, understated luxury. The whole yacht reads as a single, unhurried design. The whole interior feels composed by a single and patient hand.
Speed on a light hull
Param Jamuna IV is a semi-displacement aluminium yacht built for a lively turn of speed, with twin MTU diesels driving her to a sporty top end near 24 knots. The light structure and efficient hull make her quick to respond and easy to enjoy over a full day out. She was engineered to cover ground when an owner wants to move. The performance was central to the Prince Shark brief. The sprint of speed was always central to what made her name.
At cruising speed she settles into a comfortable and efficient gait for longer coastal runs. The balance of pace and refinement is what made the platform attractive to owners. Arrabito's naval architecture underpins her stable behaviour at speed. She was one of the yachts that established Rossinavi's reputation for fast, well finished aluminium boats. Her balance at pace reassured owners who wanted to cover ground in comfort.
Who she suits
Param Jamuna IV suits an owner who wants a fast and elegant yacht with a clear place in the Rossinavi story. As the first Prince Shark she carries genuine collector interest for a buyer who values a series' origin point. She is well sized for family cruising and entertaining across a Mediterranean or Caribbean season. Her material palette will appeal to an owner with a taste for natural stone and fine joinery. As the first of her line she holds a quiet appeal for a collector.
She offers pace, provenance and a warm interior in a package that has aged with dignity. For a buyer studying the yard's back catalogue, she is an important and appealing chapter. The combination of speed and refinement remains as relevant now as at her launch. She is a knowing choice for someone who appreciates where a design language came from. The pairing of pace and refinement has lost none of its relevance.

What is good, and what to watch
Strong points
- Genuine shallow-draft ability on a 48-metre hullAt 1.85 m draft she can reach bays and anchorages a deeper-draft yacht of the same length has to skip - a real cruising advantage, not a brochure line.
- Design recognition from the yacht's own launch yearParam Jamuna IV was a finalist in two categories at the 2014 ShowBoats Design Awards and nominated at the 2014 World Superyacht Awards and the International Superyacht Society Awards - independent design juries, not the yard's own claim.
- Range that supports real ocean passages3,500 nautical miles at 10 knots from 25,000 litres of fuel gives an owner genuine long-range flexibility beyond coastal cruising.
What to watch
- No published charter rate or resale figureThe yacht is a private family commission that yacht-charter sites list as not currently available for charter or sale, so there is no market price to compare her against - a reader pricing a similar yacht has to look at sister Rossinavi hulls instead.
- Single-family ownership limits independent operating dataBecause she has stayed with her original commissioning family since 2013, there is no brokerage survey report or resale history in public record to check her condition or refit spend against.
