Designed to fulfill her owner’s dreams of world exploration, Akula is equipped with an ultra-efficient diesel-electric propulsion system that burns through less fuel to reduce the impact on the environment, according to Rossinavi.
“The key concept of this project is that it is a boat for cruising,” the yard’s chief operating officer, Federico Rossi said in a statement. “With the owner’s input, we were able to best express the know-how and skills we have gained through decades of experience.”
With a beam of 37 feet, Akula offers an interior volume of 1,215 GT. The living quarters were designed by FM Architettura and have been described by Rossinavi as “cozy yet elegant.”
“I was very lucky to meet this owner, who guided and empowered the entire team involved in the creation of this yacht,” FM Architettura founder Francesca Muzio said in a statement. “A real ship, a combination of elements that led to an original result: a strong but elegant vessel that fits perfectly with our view of modern yachting.”
The layout has been outfitted to support “marine research activities and philanthropic projects.” In the bow, for instance, there is a sprawling observation lounge where seafarers can take in views of the local surroundings. The sundeck has also been turned into a technical area with all the requisite gear for expeditions. To top it off, the garage can house a pair of custom 30-foot tenders, an array of diving gear, and two 20-foot containers that can double as transportable science labs.

AKULA, The 2024 Baglietto T52 Yacht
In luxury yachting, few names carry the weight and prestige of Baglietto, an Italian shipyard with over 170 years of maritime innovation. Their latest creation, the AKULA, is set to redefine the standards of elegance, performance, and luxury on the open sea. As the newest addition to the global charter fleet, managed by International Yacht Company (IYC) and overseen by Senior Charter Manager Heather Hatcher, AKULA is poised to captivate the yachting community worldwide.

Unmatched Amenities for Leisure and Adventure
AKULA's most impressive features are her expansive exterior decks, designed to maximize relaxation and entertainment. The 79’ (24m) sundeck is the most significant 52m yacht on the market, offering ample space for alfresco dining, sunbathing, and socializing. The retractable pool on the main deck is perfect for a refreshing dip, while the sundeck Jacuzzi provides a more relaxed aquatic experience.
The yacht's sky lounge offers stunning panoramic views, making it an ideal spot for evening cocktails or a quiet escape with a good book. Meanwhile, the three-level beach club is a haven for water sports enthusiasts, providing easy access to the sea and a luxurious setting for beachside relaxation.

Complementing her capabilities is the 44 Fjord Open tender, a powerful companion designed for swift and thrilling excursions. Whether gliding to secluded beaches or exploring rugged coastlines, this tender adds extra excitement to the AKULA experience.
Charter Seasons and Locations
AKULA is set to embark on her maiden charter season in the Caribbean during the winter of 2024/2025. This region, known for its crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life, provides the perfect backdrop for AKULA's first voyages. From the tranquil bays of the Bahamas to the lush landscapes of the Virgin Islands, guests can expect an unforgettable yachting experience.
AKULA will cruise the Mediterranean in the summer of 2025 following her Caribbean season. Under the Yacht Engaged in Trade (YET) scheme, she will offer charter opportunities in some of the most sought-after destinations in France. Whether it's the glamorous ports of the Côte d'Azur or the historic charm of the Italian Riviera, AKULA will provide an exceptional platform for exploring the Mediterranean's diverse beauty.

Rossinavi launches exploration yacht Akula
Rossinavi enters expedition yacht market with launch of akula….
Italian shipyard Rossinavi has launched its first expedition yacht, M/Y Akula , from its Pisa facilities. With an LOA of 59.4m, a 11.3m beam and 3.45m draught, the exterior design is by Gian Paolo Nari and the interior design by Ancona-based studio FM Architettura.
The owner was actively involved in the entire concept and development process in order for the yacht to support marine research activities and philanthropic projects, with a large open area capable of stowing a variety of accessories, including two custom nine-metre-long tenders and various diving equipment. In addition, there is the possibility of loading two standard 20-foot containers on board as scientific laboratories.
Key custom solutions include the forward manoeuvering station being moved below deck, leaving the entire overdeck completely free as an open observation deck; in addition, the sundeck is configured as a technical area, where the emergency generator is located.
Fitted with diesel-electric propulsion and dynamic positioning, this 1,215gt Ice Class yacht has been built for navigating long distances with optimised fuel consumption and a low environmental impact. “In order to fulfil the owner’s brief, great importance has been given to efficiency and ocean-going capabilities,” said Andrea Carlevaris, founder and CEO of ACP Surveyors.

I wonder if the Beckhams suffer from the pruney, shrivelled fingers that come from bathing in briny waters? How Kevin Costner keeps his white shorts so sparkly. And whether Beyoncé experiences that unique discomfort that develops while sitting in one’s soggy bikini bottoms for too long?
These are just some of the questions I ask while admiring the 0.1 per cent aboard their boats each summer. For many, the season is initiated by the lengthening of hours in a day, or the beginning of the school recess. For me, the start of summer is marked by the first paparazzi images to emerge of the actor and climate activist Leonardo DiCaprio cruising in the sun.
No one enjoys, nor lives the superyacht summer so completely as DiCaprio: the usually reclusive 49-year-old seems to come alive the moment he sets foot aboard the deck. At a time when the news cycle is ordinarily sluggish, I am endlessly entertained by DiCaprio’s life of leisure, whose chief entertainments include gambolling through the waves astride a jet ski (no carbon footprint there eh, Leo?) and keeping in proximity to whichever supermodel’s derrière he has deigned to squire this year.
His current squeeze appears to be the brunette Italian model Vittoria Ceretti (keep up, guys) who, at 26 years old, is thought to be the first girlfriend he has engaged beyond the quarter-century mark. I don’t begrudge DiCaprio his instincts. He represents the person — like a young Jack Nicholson — we all aspire to be. He sates every tiny appetite. And embodies the essential creed of not seeming to have a single care. Not for him the petty vanities of six-packs or full body tanning: he just wants to let it all hang out, unleash his inner five-year-old, and plunge gleefully into the sea.
This summer has found DiCaprio holidaying aboard the yacht Koru, with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez, to whom Bezos became engaged last year. The world’s second-richest man has afforded DiCaprio some downtime as one of the cluster of celebrities sucked into Bezos’s orbit. Singer Katy Perry and her little Legolas Orlando Bloom have made up the odd sextuplet seen bobbing about Sardinia this past week.
The Koru took four years to build at the cost of an estimated $500mn. It’s just one of the post-divorce assets Bezos has acquired — along with celebrity acquaintances and ferocious biceps — following his split from MacKenzie Scott in 2019. The 417-foot schooner is said to be an homage to his new beloved, with a busty figurehead at its bow that bears an uncanny likeness to Sánchez. As with his US Vogue shoot, and his too-tight cream trousers, Bezos’ mid-life era acquires another cliché every month.
But whatever. Every billionaire should have a big boat: it’s what being a billionaire is all about. Bernard Arnault’s Symphony boasts interiors by Zuretti, a cinema and grand piano, while the Octopus, built for Microsoft’s Paul Allen, has a large pool, a hangar for two copters and two helipads. Big yachts are, as pointed out by the FT’s unofficial boat correspondent Brendan Greeley, “a terrible asset”. And yet, they remain an almost irresistible indulgence for the super-rich. After all, what better way to boast your superpower credentials than to round up flocks of famous people, get them to take their clothes off, and hold them captive for your sport?
Sadly, the charms of superyachts evade me: I see them only as prisons on the sea. The thought of being moored for days with only bare acquaintances — while wearing a bikini, for God’s sake — strikes me as one of the more appalling ways to spend one’s down time. And that’s before the nagging nausea of all that floating, the persistent threat of drowning or being whacked across the head. All those bloody ropes, all that tack and jibing. And while, yes, I know that superyachts aren’t really boats as I might recognise them, there’s still no escaping that fact that, you know, it’s all quite wet.
Add to that the bougie cocktail parties, the endless peacocking, plus the dilemma of how to pull off a cocktail dress while having to pad around in deck shoes, or worse, bare feet. I hope Bezos retains a podiatrist aboard the Koru: DiCaprio may be unkempt but he is by no means gnarly, and I need to know someone is attending to his toes.
I envy not these people on their superyacht adventure: examining Bezos’s onshore excursions I feel not one jot of jealousy. I’m just thrilled he’s ponied up for more DiCaprio content. “The king of the world”, forever: our prince of the vacation seas.

Kylie Jenner Makes Skies Crack With Her Simmering Yacht Style
The Khy founder used a stormy night sky as the backdrop for her latest photo shoot
Jenner is seen posing in the photos atop a yacht, where she rocks a white crochet bikini top paired with a matching balloon skirt and a belt to tie everything together. For accessories, she chose statement pieces, including a thick silver arm band and large decorative earrings. For her caption, the reality star wrote: “Mother storm ⚡️⚡️🌩️.”
The allusion to her daughter’s name wasn’t lost on followers. One person wrote, “STORM’S MOTHER🔥😍,” while another said, “The mother is mothering.”
Jenner included shots, as well as a video that saw her casually modeling her look in front of the treacherous storm. For good measure, she also included a pic that captured the lightning striking the sky.
It seems that to honor the summertime season (and the release of her first Khy swimwear drop ), Jenner’s recent string of outfits have channeled poolside tans and Italian vacations. In fact, she wore a very similar outfit on her Instagram back in June, when she posed atop a different boat in a bralette top and mini bubble skirt, both in an alabaster white. Other recent posts have seen the model sporting backless dresses , bikinis , and more. Summer may be cooling down, but Kylie’s looks only keep heating up.

The Bring It On star, 51, shared an Instagram carousel featuring photos and videos from the family vacation on Thursday, Aug. 15.
“Demure or nah?” she captioned the post, followed with a smirking face emoji, referring to the buzzword that recently went viral on TikTok . “It’s giving very mindful, very cutesy, very demure,” reads a text in the next slide.
In the first snap, the actress poses in a strapless orange bikini and straw hat as she rests her hands on the vessel’s railing.
There’s also a shot of Wade, 42, sporting black swim trunks as the couple’s 5-year-old daughter, Kaavia, looks over from behind.
The pair enjoyed a romantic sunset, as the retired NBA player rests with Union’s arm over his shoulder. The clip that follows, set to Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud,” shows another display of affection, with Union gently holding the back of Wade’s head and leaning in closer to his face.
There’s also a solo shot of Wade taking in the view of the crystal-blue waters, an image of Union resting her eyes while cuddling Kaavia and a video of nighttime fireworks.
The family recently spent some time in the French capital for the Paris Olympics .
On Aug. 10, Wade shared a video on his Instagram Stories that showed him and Kaavia watching Team USA win its fifth-straight Olympic gold medal in men's basketball.
“So Daddy and Kaavia are coming to you live from Paris at halftime of the gold medal game,” he said.
Union also shared photos from that trip on her own Instagram account, including one of her and Kaavia in matching red, white and blue ensembles from Polo Ralph Lauren as they cheered on Team USA.
The mother-daughter duo could be seen posing on a Parisian street in one of her other pictures. And another cute snap showed Kaavia holding up a faux Olympic torch.
Wade and Union welcomed Kaavia via surrogate in November 2018. Their family also includes Wade's daughter Zaya , 17, and son Zaire, 22, whom he shares with his ex-wife Siovaughn Funches .
Wade also shares son Xavier, 10, with ex Aja Metoyer and is the legal guardian of his nephew, Dahveon Morris, 21.
Union and Wade tied the knot in Miami in August 2014. Last year, the actress shared some of her favorite wedding memories in an interview with PEOPLE.
