It is no coincidence that the images of the new yacht have been taken in Saint-Tropez, as this iconic setting is perfect for revealing the Santasevera 52’s character

According to the designer’s idea, the yacht is a modern take on a classic open Mediterranean cruiser.

“I wanted to create a line of yachts that are not only beautiful and functional, but truly aligned with an idea of yachting that’s enjoyable, refined, and instantly recognizable. Not a passing trend, but a statement of style. The 52 is the first step in a project focused on people and on the joy of the sea,” said Francesco Guida, designer and founder of the brand. More compact models of 46 and 40 ft are expected to come next. 

It's not only the refined lines of the flagship that attract attention, but a very smart layout, too. With a length of 15.75 m and a beam of 5.05 m, the yacht is amazingly functional. The yard did without the walkaround arrangement typical of this segment in order to increase the space below deck and offer a larger lounging area aft.

The three-seat helm in the shade of a hardtop allows the captain and the guests to enjoy the navigation together in comfort. It is followed by a galley and a U-shaped lounge that can be transformed into a dining area. This social space continues in the cockpit, which transitions smoothly into a swim platform. The number and size of sunpads (there are three of them) is comparable to much larger yachts. 

The Santasevera 52 is not only meant for day cruises, but for longer time on board, too. Below deck, there are two cabins, a head and a mini lounge. The master cabin features a double bed, and there are twin berths in the guest cabin. The interior features such premium finishing materials as oak and fabrics in light, natural tones, creating a warm, contemporary atmosphere.

The highly efficient GRP hull (LWL 14.4 m) is available with three different propulsion options: traditional shaft drive, IPS system or outboard engines. The manufacturer promises that even at the top speed of 30 knots at medium load, the Santasevera 52 ensures a “responsive and engaging ride”.
