Armani was no stranger to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5565" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The Italian Sea Group (Company)">TISG</a> having twice refitted his own yacht, 65-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/585" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Main65.0m (213'3&quot;)Codecasa S.p.A.2008">Main</a>, at the group’s <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/194" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="NCA Refit (Company)">NCA Refit</a>facility. It took another six months for the two men to meet in person, but it didn’t take long for the famous fashion designer to take up the challenge.&nbsp;Working to a heavily revised concept platform, the collaboration required constant back-and-forth between Armani’s creative team and the shipyard’s engineers. Armani would sketch ideas, which were then transformed into detailed blueprints by the shipyard’s engineering team, who made adjustments for practicality while staying true to the original design intent. The dynamic ensured that the 2,070GT superyacht would embody the designer’s signature style that blends discreet aesthetics with functional luxury, but also meet the required performance and technical parameters. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>'s global managing partner Michel Chryssicopoulos quickly found a buyer for what became Project Metamorphosis and her sister ship, Project Visionary, sold a few months later.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355528/image/large-8a4b93215ae955bd3c6e3ff8ebdd3974.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355528">“The challenge was to craft a bold visual statement without relying on unnecessary ornamentation,” says Costantino. “The yacht had to be practical to operate, but also a piece of modern design that conveys timeless beauty."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355529/image/large-b643b1d774300160ee340d3b049fcd1d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355529">Heart of GlassArmani’s minimalistic aesthetic makes ample use of glass, both externally and internally, &nbsp;with full-height panoramic windows on multiple decks. In fact, there are 310 square metres of external glass windows supplied by Sedak GmbH amounting to 15.5 tonnes in weight (in addition to 230 square metres and 4.5 tonnes of decorative interior glass). The windows on the main deck and bridge deck are also cantilevered outboard – these glass panes are not only massive, they also had to be able to withstand extreme weather conditions at sea without compromising the overall aesthetic.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355530/image/large-db369a0e0d47bfa6a727a9e75a6da96d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355530">“One of the first things we did was a feasibility study and FEM analysis to make sure the structure could take the stresses the yacht would be subjected to during her life,“ says project manager Davide Santagostino. “This analysis had to take into account not only the weight of the glass, but also the stresses caused by water movement and the external forces in high wind-load conditions. Further engineering was required with regard to weight distribution and stability, and we had to find creative ways to place internal structural pillars without disrupting the open-plan layout.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312192/image/large-a079f18cc169d0cb84f162aa0ec17172.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312192">The cantilevered glass further provides for an angled skylight above the main window pane in the guest cabins and bathrooms on main deck, which noticeably increases the amount of natural light entering the interiors. The sky lounge on the bridge deck, designed as an versatile cinema area for year-round use in summer and winter, has electrically operated floor-to-ceiling glass panes on three sides. The panes measuring up to 1.8 metres in diameter can be stacked in the open position to provide a plein air space in warmer weather or a more enclosed, sheltered environment when cruising colder climes. Forward of the very spacious wheelhouse is a deep Portuguese bridge that can be used as a relaxation area for the crew. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355526/image/large-0256e54a228047749d1b844444d87f7a.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355526">Going the DistanceIn the spring of 2024 Project Metamorphosis found a new owner in a sale brokered by Darrell Hall of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1317" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yachtzoo (Company)">Yachtzoo</a>. The change of ownership, just three months before the projected launch, presented further challenges for both the shipyard and the new owner’s team.“When I came on board, we were already at a stage where we realised there would be several adjustments necessary to meet the new owner’s requirements for personal use and with a view to charter," says Captain David Pott, who joined the project shortly after the resale. "Sustainability was not a prime motivator for the owner, but he was keen to integrate eco-friendly measures into the design as much as possible. He wanted a yacht that was able to go the distance – both literally and figuratively – and do so responsibly in full compliance with environmental regulations.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355533/image/large-341ae86dd47ae434d5d75d1fcf1b1a95.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355533">The owner's desire to explore high latitudes – the Northwest Passage is just one item on a planned multi-year circumnavigation – meant uprating the yacht to Polar Class 1C certification, the lowest ice classification based on first-year ice in the Baltic Sea and Arctic Ocean. Although the hull was built with an ice belt of 12mm steel plating to withstand some ice conditions, the former owner had not opted to pursue formal certification. The shipyard team got to work to make the modifications required to meet the requirements. Amongst other measures, this involved upgrading the rudderpost, pintles, steering gear and propellers, installing freeze-protection valves, making new stability calculations that take into account ice accretion, and addressing environmental protection requirements.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355523/image/large-fca67b5ef0751f76a062767500463ad7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355523">The latter led to an owner’s request for enhancements to the yacht’s SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) system by increasing the urea storage capacity. Injected as a water-based solution, the urea undergoes hydrolysis to produce ammonia, which reacts with NOx in the catalytic elements, effectively converting the harmful pollutants into harmless water vapor and nitrogen gas. Under Tier III diesel emissions regulations, in theory a vessel is required to carry only enough urea to run the SCR within a NOx Emission Control Area (ECA), but the owner wanted to use the system regardless of where his yacht is in the world – a prescient decision given that the list of ECAs will expand to include the Mediterranean as of May of this year. Besides neutralising NOx emissions, the SCR system also reduces exhaust noise and helps trap soot particles so they don’t find their way onto the deck, into the swimming pool and into the water around the yacht.“This was a major modification as we had to rework the tankage to include more urea storage, which impacted the yacht’s fuel capacity,” says Andrea Bigagli, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5565" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The Italian Sea Group (Company)">TISG</a> Corporate Strategic Director. “In the end we were able to add more urea tankage without compromising the yacht’s cruising range of 6,000 nautical miles.”“We took the view that emissions regulations are getting stricter all the time, so why not try to reduce as much as possible our environmental impact from the outset?” adds chief engineer Sam Needham. “We asked the shipyard to investigate the possibility of having the SCR units running all the time and they were happy to do that, which is a big improvement from our side. Basically, the yacht will run out of fuel before it runs out of urea.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355531/image/large-278f6ff9f27edee7ce605f5f5ef9e8a4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355531">Future ProofIn line with the owner's desire for a tech-savvy and future-proofed yacht, the AV/IT systems underwent substantial upgrades. Working alongside AV/IT integrator Pibiesse, four Starlink antennas were added to the spec and cabling was augmented to ensure high throughput, redundancy, and future scalability for data-heavy applications like live video feeds, conferencing, and multimedia entertainment.&nbsp;“Given the rapid advance of high-bandwidth systems, this upgrade was designed to future-proof the yacht’s AV/IT capacity in years to come,” says Bigagli. “The idea is that as new tech emerges, it can be seamlessly integrated into the existing infrastructure without requiring a complete system overhaul.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355536/image/large-f2ca65aa498b52f2bb9742375ddbad61.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355536">Another important upgrade came in the form of an integrated bridge system from Furuno. This high-end addition improves the yacht’s navigation and operational capabilities, but also extends the vessel's usability in far-flung and possibly uncharted locations. The new bridge equipment includes FLIR thermal cameras and a WASSP multibeam sonar for mapping the seabed in high-resolution 3D. Using a tender in advance of the mothership, the system’s wide-angle sonar transducer maps the seafloor to find the safest passage and anchorage. The yacht also features telescopic wing stations with floors that pop up flush with the deck when extended, and a pantographic mechanism for the console controls inside the bulwarks.Other modifications include the addition of an ice bath next to the hottub on the sundeck, stacked storage for four jet skis in the forward tender garage with their own lifting gear, and a much bigger transom hatch that hinges down into a recess in the swim platform for flush access to the beach club. A unique feature and testament to the high level of detailing is the design of the handrails. Curved to follow the shape of the bulwarks, each stanchion is slightly different and the rails themselves, although capped with teak on the inside, present a polished stainless-steel profile on the outside to complement the crisp exterior styling. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/312648/image/large-0aaba726a90db74276874e072ae95030.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/312648">Customisation and CollaborationProject Metamorphosis is due for delivery in June and is expected to be a showstopper at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/271" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2025">Monaco Yacht Show</a> in September. The late change of ownership and subsequent customisation requests inevitably meant delays, but enthusiastic collaboration between the owner’s team and the shipyard has been key to ensuring a successful result as the project enters the home straight.&nbsp;“We’ve been able to tweak a few things, but we could see right from the start that the shipyard had put together a solid package and the foundations for a strong vessel were already there,” says chief engineer Sam Needham, who reviewed the design and specifications before the resale. “Now it’s just a question of supporting the shipyard as much as we can to help them get across the finish line.”-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355534/image/large-b088dcaf6076bd870356fa7cb6deb74f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355534">Digital twinsShortly after the yacht changed hands, the owner’s team brought in Paul Shersby of Film360 Ltd to create a complete ‘digital twin’ of the project during construction using a Matterport LiDAR camera to capture spaces in high-resolution 3D. Working at night when the yacht was empty and progressing from tank deck to top deck, at the time of going to print Shersby had scanned the entire yacht four times (a complete 3D picture takes 500 scans or more) at intervals of six to eight weeks. While the system has been used to provide navigable interiors of finished yachts and residences for commercial purposes, the technology also allows the owner’s team to remotely track the construction as it progresses.&nbsp;“It’s been a really useful tool that I think will be picked up by others,” says Captain Todd. “For example, we can see all the cable and piping runs, where wi-fi routers are located, the black and grey water routes – basically everything below the deckheads or behind the walls before they’re covered up. It means if there’s a leak or other issues later on, we have a better idea of where the problem might be without having to take the interior to pieces.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355527/image/large-20cef72894db9111d27266d505e3308f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355527"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5565" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The Italian Sea Group (Company)">The Italian Sea Group</a>Owner of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/511" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tecnomar (Company)">Tecnomar</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/570" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Admiral (Company)">Admiral</a>, Picchiotti, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/51" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Perini Navi (Company)">Perini Navi</a>, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/511" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tecnomar (Company)">Tecnomar</a> for Lamborghini brands, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5565" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The Italian Sea Group (Company)">TISG</a> headquarters in Marina di Carrara has two of the largest private dry docks in the Mediterranean: a 200-metre long basin and a second 147-metre dock inaugurated in 2021.

The 360-degree thruster combines <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Veth Propulsion (Company)">Veth</a>’s Contra Rotating technology and Rolla’s Class S propellers with the successful Integrated L-drive thruster, distributing power between two propellers, reducing the overall diameter, and minimising noise and vibration—two key concerns for yacht owners who prioritise comfort and quietness onboard. The thrusters are compatible with yachts from 30–120m+ and have a power output range from 150 to 2,000 kW per thruster. Veth is also exploring a larger model, providing 2,800 kW per thruster.“<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/306240/image/large-c5811136ba9ff116a82e5dd22529b5d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/306240">We have adapted and refined a concept we’ve successfully utilised for decades in commercial applications—our contra-rotating propellers—to specifically meet the performance and noise reduction standards of the yachting industry,” says Navneet Chadha, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Veth Propulsion (Company)">Veth</a>’s R&amp;D hydrodynamic engineer. While not exclusive to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Veth Propulsion (Company)">Veth</a>, this contra-rotating propeller system sets its thrusters apart, improving thrust efficiency by reducing the rotational energy typically lost in conventional single-propeller thrusters. This results in a more efficient propulsion system, particularly at higher speeds, while the CFD-optimised strut and customised propellers enhance overall efficiency.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/279649/image/large-953d7d0f0a26fd07904c4e5be3f622d5.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/279649"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Veth Propulsion (Company)">Veth</a>’s commitment to reducing onboard noise has been a key driver in the development of the ELITE™ thruster series. This was made possible, in part, through collaboration with Rolla SP Propellers, a leading manufacturer of propellers that meet the stringent “S” Class standards of ISO 484/2. In addition to minimising onboard pressure pulses, Veth is also addressing growing concerns over Underwater Radiated Noise (URN) and its effects on marine ecosystems. The company is actively refining its ELITE™ systems to ensure they operate quietly, both onboard and in surrounding waters, reducing environmental impact.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/349284/image/large-53a9584274225454de5f387c3ae3f561.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/349284">“We have undertaken comprehensive testing, including both simulations and real-world trials,” says Navneet. “Our thrusters have been thoroughly model-tested at several leading European research institutions and are now undergoing validation on full-scale yachts. Additionally, we have carefully compared the results from our simulations with actual performance data gathered from these trials to ensure accuracy and reliability.”Unlike the commercial marine sector, yachts have unique demands regarding available space for technical areas—especially as beach clubs have become a staple of yacht design, limiting the volume available for the technical deck below. The ELITE™ thruster series has been specifically designed with a compact build-in height to free up space.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/349286/image/large-162fe964a985df73b9b44b7d095255f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/349286">Looking ahead, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Veth Propulsion (Company)">Veth</a> is investing in real-time monitoring and optimisation systems, working closely with owners’ teams on noise and vibration control. These optimisations have minimised pressure pulses caused by rotating propeller blades passing near the hull—one of the main sources of noise and vibration.
