Federico Fiorentino reveals 50m superyacht concept The Belafonte
Federico Fiorentino deliver new superyacht concept called The Belafonte.
Milan-based designer Federico Fiorentino has released renderings of a new superyacht concept he is calling The Belafonte, a 50 metre aluminium vessel capable of 24 knots.
The boat has a fast displacement hull and will have two engine options, the less powerful capable of 18 knots at wide open throttle.
Fiorentino calls the 50 metre boat a “modern classic” and says he tried to blend classic and contemporary design, creating an ideal fusion of elegance, refinement and prestige.
The superyacht certainly has strong external lines, its racy profile falling back from an eye-catching stem and snub bow, but amid the modern touches Fiorentino and naval architect Mattia Ruocco have maintained traditional elements, such as mahogany cap rails and polished steel particulars.The Belafonte will accommodate 10 guests in five cabins. A full beam VIP suite, two twins and one double are located on the lower deck, while the owner’s full beam suite is located forward on the main deck. The owner’s suite covers an impressive 84 square meters and is one of the biggest in its class, says Fiorentino. It features a separate studio with a folding balcony, two walk-in closets and two linked bathrooms.
The main deck of the boat features a formal saloon and dining area, while the semi-enclosed upper deck is given over to informal social areas with a spectacular sky lounge. Here, an alfresco dining table can accommodate all the guests, opposite a shaded bar.
Fiorentino has ensured The Belafonte boasts plenty of open deck space and has included a large pool on the main deck and a Jacuzzi on the upper deck, both surrounded by big sunbathing areas. For more privacy there is a lounge and sunbathing area at the front of the upper deck.
