Apreamare will be present at the Genoa Boat Show, scheduled from the 19th to the 24th of September, for the world premiere of the shipyard's new flagship, the Maestro 88, a full-custom 28-meter vessel with a semi-planing hull, together with the entire Gozzo range: the new Gozzo 38 Cabin, presented to the general public for the first time in Italy, the Gozzo 45 and the Gozzo 35.

Apreamare has chosen the Genoa Boat Show - the place where the historic Maestro line boasts its origins through the brilliant intuition of Cataldo Aprea - to present the world premiere of the new flagship, the largest vessel ever built by the shipyard. A "gentleman's navetta" of almost 28 meters, full-custom with a semi-planing hull, the Maestro 88 maintains the family-feeling of the Maestro line, masterfully reinterpreted and updated by the Casali-Tagliavini duo. Sharing the stage for the first time in Italy is the Gozzo 38 Cabin, the latest evolution of the Gozzo series, followed by her sisters, the Gozzo 45 and the Gozzo 35.

The Maestro 88, 27.70 meters long, almost 7 meters wide and with a full-load displacement of 90 tons, remains within the 24-meter regulatory threshold. She is powered by two 1,650 horsepower MAN engines and can reach a maximum speed of 22 knots, while at a cruising speed of 10 knots can take her as far as 1,000 nautical miles.

Starting from design imperatives and stylistic cornerstones enhanced by the large and livable cockpit and the unmistakable play between interiors and exteriors, Umberto Tagliavini of Marine Design sculpted the hull geometry to ensure total safety and comfort for guests on board, even in adverse weather conditions.

The exterior lines, of great elegance and impact thanks to the sensitivity of Too Design's Marco Casali, integrate perfectly with the interior spaces designed to experience yachting in continuous and direct visual contact with the surrounding environment. Among the expanded living spaces, there is a large beach club and a long sliding glass window on the main deck, while on the flybridge there are relaxation areas and a galley with wet bar and solar panels. The interiors are completely customizable, with configurations that include up to four cabins and sprawling spaces for leisure that guarantee a superior quality of life on board, especially during long cruises.

The Gozzo 38 Cabin, the result of the collaboration between Cataldo Aprea, designer Marco Casali and engineer Umberto Tagliavini, represents a significant evolution of the Gozzo 35, boasting larger interior spaces and the improved habitability of a raised deckhouse. These characteristics appeal to owners who want comfort and protection during navigation, even in adverse weather conditions. Another distinctive element is the extension of the stern platform, which brings the vessel's overall length to 11.45 meters without changing its classification.

The fluidity between the interior and exterior spaces is guaranteed by a four-panel French window, which creates a bright and continuous living area. The internal lounge, complete with helm station, functional kitchen and L-shaped dinette, ensures comfort, practicality and constant visual contact with the sea.

Below deck, the optimized layout offers two cabins and a bathroom with an internal height of two meters. Regarding the propulsion, owners can choose between the traditional configuration with Volvo Penta D4-320 shaft line engines and stern drives of two power ratings: Volvo Penta D4-270 DPI and D4-320 DPI. Each option is optimized for synergy with the naval platform to ensure a consistently versatile and efficient navigation experience.

At the Genoa Boat Show, Apreamare will also showcase the Gozzo 45 and the best-selling Gozzo 35, thus completing the picture of the brand's refined and innovative range of Sorrentine gozzos.
