In the world of yachting, classic aesthetics are finding new ways to make a comeback through yachts that combine traditional beauty with modern technologies. Old-school exterior design is gaining more and more fans, as it brings to the fore the timelessness and nostalgia that characterize classic lines. In this article, we present some of the most impressive examples of boats that honor tradition, while offering the comforts and innovation of today.
The new Picchiotti

Picchiotti’s new Vintage concept redefines timeless elegance, combining the classic lines of the golden age of American yachting with cutting-edge technology and a personalized design philosophy. With a length of 61 meters and a width of 11.20 meters, the Vintage concept offers a sophisticated combination of nostalgia and modern innovation. Created by The Italian Sea Group’s Centro Stile, this concept appeals to both experienced yacht enthusiasts and younger generations, such as Generation Z.
Project One Feadship

This vessel incorporates traditional lines reminiscent of yachts of the past, while combining innovative technology and environmentally friendly solutions. Its design is masculine, timeless and elegant, with exterior design by De Voogt Naval Architects, interiors by Gilles & Boissier, and naval architecture by Azure Yacht Design & Naval Architecture.
CRN Project Thunderball

CRN announced in 2023 the 70-meter "Project Thunderball", a five-decker designed by Nauta Design and Vripack. It was created to meet the high demands of an owner who wanted a highly technical and capable yacht, avoiding the appearance of a "floating palace". The result features a classic long bow, smooth lines and low profile, which, according to Marnix J. Hoekstra, co-creative director of Vripack, are deliberately reminiscent of times past. The design draws inspiration from the lines of sailing ships and will be accompanied by a smaller sailing vessel that will follow the mother vessel.
Nautor Swan Motor Yachts

The Finnish company Nautor Swan, known for its exceptional sailing yachts, has made a dynamic entry into the motor yacht market with the "Swan Shadow" model. Born from Leonardo Ferragamo's passion for the marine world, the "Swan Shadow" expands the range of boats that the Finnish shipyard offers its customers. It uniquely combines performance, quality and elegance, offering a new dimension to the yachting experience, while remaining completely faithful to the core elements of the brand's identity: performance, quality and elegance.
Maestro 88 Apreamare

In 2023, Apreamare presented the "Gipsy VI", a 27.1-meter yacht that is the company's largest creation to date. With a classic design that draws inspiration from the traditional lines of the "gozzo sorrentino", this yacht combines tradition with modern features, offering luxurious accommodation and excellent performance. Designed by Architect Marco Casali for the interiors and Engineer Umberto Tagliavini for the hull geometry, the "Gipsy VI" is described as a "fully personalized navetta" that maintains the classic aesthetics of the previous Maestro series, while introducing a fresh interpretation of style, form and functionality. The yacht is a tribute to the company's roots, highlighting the classic aesthetics of old-school design with a contemporary approach.
Yacht Vero Codecasa

Vero by Italian company Codecasa is a boat that combines classic Italian aesthetics with modern technology, offering a unique balance of tradition and innovation. Designer Luca Dina took inspiration from the exterior lines of the 1950s, creating a yacht that evokes the elegance of another era. With a wooden construction, round windows and the use of mahogany and stainless steel, Vero exudes a sense of old-school design. Despite its classic appearance, the yacht features advanced systems and cutting-edge technologies, with the hull, designed by Francesco Rogantin of NAMES naval architecture studio, incorporating all modern performance and functionality requirements. The result is a yacht that unites the past with the future, radiating refinement and timeless style.
