Balance, functionality and harmony between indoor and outdoor spaces are the guiding thread running through a design featuring clean lines, timeless proportions and a constant dialogue with the light and the sea.
Antonini Navi presents Project Light63M, a 63-metre superyacht designed by Nauta Yachts, the Milan-based studio founded in 1986 by Massimo Gino and Mario Pedol and now an international benchmark in yacht design. For the naval architecture and engineering, Antonini Navi collaborated with Arrabito Naval Architects, with Giovanni Arrabito personally overseeing the project.
Over the past year, Antonini Navi has seen a sharp increase in demand for yachts over 500 GT from international brokers and private owners, confirming the market's confidence in the shipyard's construction capabilities.
Antonini Navi has selected Nauta for its vast experience in the megayacht industry and its renowned capacity to create superyachts of refined aesthetic balance and timeless beauty. Nauta has designed a total of 625m LOA and 27,000 GT of built superyachts up to date, including famous masterpieces as the Lürssen Azzam (180m) and Dragonfly (142m), and the Feadhsip Zen (88m). Nauta has now a total of 300m LOA and 5,900 GT of superyacht projects which are currently under construction.
Nauta Yachts recognized the huge potential of Antonini Navi, based on its strategic location, the professionalism of its team, and the shipyard's practical approach right from the outset. Both Antonini and Nauta invested their resources in developing a Nauta concept and turned it into a solid, concrete yet very elegant project, that fully reflects the DNA of both companies.
The combination of Nauta's design vision and Antonini Navi's solid industrial base has resulted in Light63M, a project that expresses the two brands' shared values of balance, efficiency and a construction approach that focuses on quality and customisation.
Light63M delivers design solutions that combine practicality and comfort, with a special focus on the fluid relationship between indoor and outdoor areas and the optimisation of space on board.
The exteriors are defined by continuous architectural lines and balanced proportions, conveying a sense of lightness and openness. The alternation between glazed and opaque surfaces creates a clean and recognisable profile, one that will remain elegant and stylish over time.
The onboard layout has been designed to prioritise the efficiency and discretion of guest and crew flows. The crew have direct access to the guest cabins on the lower deck, with large service areas on all decks to reduce traffic in the communal spaces. The beach club with spa has two dedicated entrances and can be opened up on three sides, maintaining continuity with the sea while ensuring functionality and privacy. The owner's apartment and VIP cabin feature exclusive outdoor terraces, while the gym is located in a panoramic position, benefiting from natural light on three sides and a skylight. The sun deck is designed as a private observatory, a tranquil retreat that looks out towards the horizon.
The interiors take inspiration from a contemporary Mediterranean aesthetic, where natural materials, warm tones and light-coloured surfaces interact to create coordinated and welcoming settings. The combination of built-in elements and freestanding furniture provides flexibility and the possibility of customisation, with a view to creating harmonious, relaxing and functional spaces.
Antonini Navi and Nauta Yachts are writing a new chapter in contemporary yacht design: with a length of 63.5 metres, a beam of 10.9 metres and a volume of about 1,180 GT, Light63M is a technically sound project submitted to a careful verification process and designed to ensure balance, efficiency and an authentic connection with the sea.
Antonini Navi has two yachts currently under construction and nearing their launch date, Seamore 34, the first model in a semi-custom steel and aluminium series, and EVO 31, a full-custom motor yacht, both commissioned by experienced owners. They are joined by the SUY 135, the first model in the new Sports Utility Yachts (SUY) line, also under construction on spec at the shipyard.
