The Monaco 375 is the result of an ambitious equation: to combine the stylistic rigor of automotive and aerospace with the total freedom of a luxury day-cruiser. With its 11.50 meters overall, this vessel fits into that market segment where artisanal detail must marry technological performance.

The Monaco 375 is the result of an ambitious equation: to combine the stylistic rigor of automotive and aerospace with the total freedom of a luxury day-cruiser. With its 11.50 meters overall, this vessel fits into that market segment where artisanal detail must marry technological performance.

Unlike the GTS version (Coupé), the Monaco removes the upper barriers to offer a navigation experience in close contact with the elements:

• “All Baglio” Layout: The aft area utilizes the full width of the boat (3.50 m), creating a versatile lounge area with chaise-longues that can transform into a dining table for six or a large sunbathing area.
• Noble Materials: Teak covers the entire deck, ensuring that tactile and visual warmth characteristic of high-end yachts, while the lines of the hull are taut and modern, designed to cut through the water with a consistently stable attitude.
• S.A.F.E. Platform: Among the most interesting innovations is the optional mobile aft platform, equipped with an up & down system that facilitates water access and boarding at the dock, expanding the livable area.

Under the hood (or rather, under the cockpit), the Monaco 375 offers a rare motor versatility:

• Brutal Power: It is possible to install engines up to 1000 HP (both inboard and outboard), allowing speed peaks exceeding 40 knots.
• Total Stability: To maximize comfort, it is prepared for the installation of the Seakeeper 2.0 gyroscopic stabilization system, eliminating roll both while cruising and at anchor.
• Range: An 800-liter tank ensures long-range cruising (up to 350 miles at 25 knots), making it ideal not only for “day trips” but also for long weekends in total independence.

Luxia Yachts: https://luxiayachts.com/

Filippetti Yacht is considered a true Italian excellence in the nautical sector, thanks to a heritage that has its roots in the very history of luxury yachting.

Constructive Philosophy: The Nautical Atelier

Unlike large industrial shipyards, Filippetti operates as an atelier. Each vessel is highly customizable: the owner is involved in every phase, from choosing the interior layout to the finishes, making each yacht a unique piece.

The 4 Souls of the Fleet

The shipyard has divided its production into four distinct series to respond to different navigation philosophies:

• Series S (Sport): For those seeking adrenaline. Characterized by aggressive lines and high performance (like the famous S55 that exceeds 45 knots).
• Series F (Flybridge): The perfect balance between comfort, generous spaces, and contemporary classic design (e.g. F93 or the new F100).
• Series N (Navetta): Dedicated to those who love slow travel, autonomy, and respect for the environment (eco-chic). These are quiet vessels with low consumption.
• Series E (Explorer): Yachts designed for long crossings in any marine condition, with imposing volumes.

Design and Collaborations

The prestige of the brand is also linked to collaborations with the most illustrious names in global nautical design, foremost among them Fulvio De Simoni, who has signed many of the shipyard’s iconic models, ensuring that mix of elegance and technological innovation typical of Italian style.

The volume “50 times Cinquecento” written by Silvia Traunero and Adriana Quarti has been published by the Nutrimenti Mare publishing house.

The Cinquecento, originally known as 500×2, was launched at the Circolo Nautico Santa Margherita in Caorle on June 21, 1975, with an apparently simple formula: a 500 nautical mile race for just two sailors aboard boats with a sealed engine. The alchemy of the Adriatic, with its variability, has turned this into a cutting-edge challenge that is highly technical and difficult to interpret.

The route, unchanged since the first edition, sees competitors starting from the coastline in front of Caorle (Venice), then passing the island of Sansego (Susak) in Croatian waters, and then heading down to the Tremiti Islands archipelago, which must be circumnavigated, before returning to Caorle in about 4-5 days of non-stop racing.

In this documentary book, the two Venetian journalists have given ample space to the testimonies of the protagonists: alongside the account of each year, there are amarcord, stories obtained through interviews, excerpts from the logbook, or writings by the skippers specifically for the book.

The result is a 288-page volume that also includes about 200 images, some excerpts from nautical magazines, and many pieces of information and anecdotes that trace the history of sailing and offshore yachting over the past fifty years. The volume is completed by a detailed list of all participants, boats, and skippers for each year.

The introduction to “50 times Cinquecento” was written by journalist Giulio Guazzini.

“Behind the Scenes of the Monaco Yacht Show 2025,” a documentary by Vanessa Dessi and Sébastien Mezzadri for Monaco Info.

In September 2025, the Monaco Yacht Show transformed Port Hercule into the world capital of yachting for four days. This behind-the-scenes documentary reveals the millimeter-perfect choreography that makes the event possible — all without slowing down Monaco. Watch the video.

A month after the opening of the Monaco Yacht Show 2025, this exclusive documentary — produced by the television channel Monaco Info — lifts the veil on an extraordinary feat of urban and maritime engineering.

The cameras follow the 25 days of setup and 11 days of dismantling of a dual exhibition, both on land and in water, that hosts 120 superyachts and 16,000 m² of exhibition structures and tents, all while the Principality continues to live its daily life. From the escorted truck convoys arriving from Nice, France, to the minute-by-minute synchronization between the crews at the dock and the port pilots, the documentary showcases a living construction site operating at full capacity: 400-450 trucks, 390 stands (of which approximately 80% are custom), and tightly controlled traffic windows (7:30-9:30) to “slot” the event into everyday life.

At the heart of the story is a unified coordination framework that brings together the authorities and organizers of Monaco around a single technical dossier — layout, milestones, and traffic flows — transforming complexity into precision.

“Anything worth having takes time.”

Yacht Design Srl is the artisan-technological partner that translates design into physical reality. The company is essential for luxury shipyards, transforming complex exterior and interior designs into finished components through advanced lamination and composite construction processes.

Industrial Precision: The ability to produce molds and components with geometric precision that meets the rigorous standards required by the most prestigious shipyards.

Participation in METSTRADE is a strategic opportunity for the company to highlight its impressive track record. Yacht Design Srl is already a key supplier for giants of Italian luxury yachting such as Azimut, Sanlorenzo, Cantiere del Pardo, Sacs, and Bluegame.
In Amsterdam, the company will seek to establish new collaborations with shipyards and international yacht design studios. They will present their successful case studies, showcasing how their expertise in fiberglass processing has contributed to the creation of key components for some of the most iconic and innovative yachts in circulation.

Their stand at METSTRADE will not only be a showcase of molds but a concrete demonstration of how Made in Italy precision is an essential element for the success and final quality of modern superyachting.

The company uses a 5-axis CNC milling machine (Computer Numerical Control), which is the standard for large-scale modeling in the industry.
The mill is used in the initial modeling phase of the production process for:
Roughing: Working large masses of polystyrene to create the rough shape of the model or mold.
Finishing: Subsequently, after the application of epoxy paste, the mill works the surface to the nominal (exact and final) geometry of the design.
Software: The programming of the milling paths is managed by advanced software (such as CAM Tebis, Rhino3D, and Aspire), which optimizes the cutting to ensure efficiency and millimeter precision.
Essentially, the 5-axis mill is the tool that allows Yacht Design Srl to take the digital mathematics provided by the client and translate them with high precision into large physical models, ready for the next phase of fiberglass lamination.

The Yacht Design Modeling Division: Bridging Digital Design and Physical Production

The Modeling Division represents the critical bridge between digital design (CAD) and the physical production of luxury yachts and pleasure boats. It is an cutting-edge operation specializing in the creation of large-scale models and the subsequent production of molds made of fiberglass and other composite materials.

The main objective is to manage the entire model production process, ensuring maximum fidelity to the original design and the precision required for the final molding phase.

Core Mission and Capabilities

• Large-Scale Model Production: Creation of exact replicas, often at a 1:1 scale, of hulls, decks, superstructures, and interior components of the yachts.
• Mold Creation (Tooling): Production of the negative molds, typically made of fiberglass or epoxy materials, which will be used by shipyards to laminate the final parts (hull, deck, etc.).
• Integrated Process Management: The department takes charge of the project from the initial phase right up to the final product ready for molding.

The Technical Workflow (From CAD to Product)

The operational process is highly technological and involves multiple phases:

1. Receiving the Mathematics: The process begins with the acquisition of the 3D digital files (the “mathematics” or the digital CAD project) supplied by the client, whether a shipyard or a design studio.
2. CNC Milling: The mathematics are processed and sent to large 5-axis Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milling machines. These machines “sculpt” the master model (often made of polyurethane foams or specific resins) with extremely high precision.
3. Finishing and Assembly: The rough, milled model is hand-finished (fairing, sanding, polishing) to eliminate any imperfection, guaranteeing a perfect surface finish (Class A). The final assembly joins the various segments into a single, large-scale model, ready for the next phase.
4. Mold Creation: The finished model serves as the positive. The negative fiberglass mold is laminated (or constructed) directly onto it. It is from this mold that the definitive composite components of the yacht will be produced.

Crucial Role: Precision and Transformation

The Modeling Division is crucial for two main reasons:

• Transformation: It converts the abstract digital design into a precise physical model that can be touched and measured.
• Quality (One-Off and Series Production): The precision of the model determines the final quality of the yacht. Whether it is a series production or a one-off unique piece, the Modeling Division ensures the tolerance and surface finish required for luxury pleasure boats.
