Filippetti reveals new details of E32 yacht project

Italian yard Filippetti Yacht has divulged new details about its E32 explorer yacht project, which was first announced in September 2017.

Developed in collaboration with Italian studio VYD, the 32-metre (105-foot) displacement yacht is still in the concept stage, but has received considerable client interest. The steel hull and aluminium superstructure would be built to RINA classification C standards, making it suitable for unrestricted navigation.

The new renderings show changes to the exterior design, with a more sculptural look and an additional colour finish added to the topsides.

Accommodation is for up to 10 guests across five cabins, including a main-deck owner’s cabin that spans the entire length of the 7.8-metre beam, with ‘his and hers’ en-suites, an owner’s office and a walk-in wardrobe. Four further guest cabins would be situated below decks, arranged as two doubles and two twins.

The crew quarters are situated in the bow, allowing for a staff of six people, while a captain’s cabin on the bridge deck takes the total crew accommodation to seven.

Al-fresco relaxation comes courtesy of the beach club and the sundeck, which is equipped with a circular spa pool, bar area and a large sunbathing space aft. Elsewhere, a sheltered cockpit contains bench seating, two small tables and four armchairs making it ideal for a light meal, while a more formal dining option can be found in the main-deck saloon, where all ten guests can enjoy a meal together.

A side-loading garage aft of the engine room provides tender storage, with sufficient space for a Jet Ski as well as the main tender. A foredeck davit crane allows a smaller crew tender to be carried too.

Power would come from a pair of 671hp Caterpillar C18 ACERT engines for a top speed of 14 knots and comfortable cruising at 12 knots. When stripped back to 9.5 knots, the E32 would boast a transatlantic range of 5,000 nautical miles, drawing on a total fuel capacity of 40,000 litres.
