The Unica 45M Steel's top speed is 15 knots

The superyacht has been sold to an American client and is scheduled for delivery in 2027

The displacement superyacht with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure was designed by Palumbo Superyachts technical department in collaboration with Enrico Gobbi and his Team for Design.

The fuel capacity of 60000 L allows the vessel to cross the ocean, and, according to the shipyard, the project aims to redefine the industry standards.

The exterior design of the Unica 45M Steel stands out for fluid and balanced lines, with a hull that is slender both forward and aft. With a high bow and harmoniously integrated superstructure, the yacht looks modern and dynamic, while at night, a sophisticated lighting system accentuates her profile and creates a welcoming atmosphere. 

Extended deck areas, large windows, ensuring the connection between exterior and interior spaces are among the key advantages of the project. 

The upper deck forward is home to a cozy sunbathing and entertainment area, and there is even more al fresco space on the 16-metre sundeck. There are two sunbathing areas here – aft and around the jacuzzi. Amidships, there is a lounge with sofas and armchairs, a dining area and a bar. 

There is also an original exterior relaxation zone right by the water on the main deck aft, which spreads over three levels sloping down towards the sea. In the cockpit there is a lounge with sofas and armchairs and a glass balustrade for an unobstructed panoramic view. A little lower there is a pool, and there is a huge sunpad right over the swim platform.

The interiors are designed to ensure maximum comfort and optimize the use of space. The upper saloon with a bar and a lounge is meant for socializing and guest entertainment. If necessary, it can be united with an exterior dining area with a round table for 12. There is another dining area in the main deck saloon. 

As for guest accommodation, the owner’s suite with a lounge, dressing rooms for him and for her, and a large bathroom occupy the entire bow section of the main deck. Next to it, opposite a well-equipped galley, there is a compact gym. Three more VIP guest cabins and one with twin beds and a Pullman bed are below deck, as well as the quarters for a crew of nine.

With twin CAT C32 engines of 970 kW each, the Unica 45M Steel can develop a top speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots. According to the yard, at a speed of 10 knots her range will be over 4000 nautical miles. 

As it has already been mentioned, the delivery of the first Unica 45M Steel unit is scheduled for 2027.
