Currently under construction and due for delivery in 2024, Bow Sprit is the first-ever yacht from Vittoria Yachts, an Italian shipyard with a strong history of producing both military and commercial vessels.

Considering this background, it is not surprising that Bow Sprit is a robust and strong explorer yacht with true polar cruising pedigree. Her reinforced ice belt allows her to explore glacial waters in safety and luxury from the Arctic Circle to Antarctica.

With sleek, strong lines, Bow Sprit takes her name from her distinctive bowsprit that extends beyond the prow, a feature balanced by the extended beach club aft. Practical elements such as diagonal extensions to side rub rails have been borrowed from working vessels to provide enhanced safety features when world cruising.

Her tri-deck layout gives guests a variety of outdoor areas to enjoy across her 54 meters of length and can be reconfigured depending on needs. Notable features include her helipad, an expansive sun deck complete with Jacuzzi, and crow’s nest with panoramic views — the perfect wildlife observation deck.

Her grand beach club is unique and features one of two swimming pools — a second is located on the spacious sun deck. A tender garage below deck has a side door for easy launch. The lower deck space with sliding glass panels that can be used as a winter garden is another design highlight.

Comfortably accommodating up to 12 guests across six cabins, Bow Sprit can be customised to a five-cabin layout, a versatile arrangement made possible thanks to smart use of removable panelling. The master cabin is located forward and has natural light streaming through the huge vertical windows as well as an owner’s study.

Other noteworthy features include folding balconies on the main deck and a separate passageway for her crew of 8 plus Captain.

With a top speed of 16 knots and a range of 6000 nm, Bow Sprit has been specially designed to maximise the hull length while keeping her below 500GT. Combining this with her sleek exterior lines and impressive selection of facilities, this yacht is the perfect vessel for exploring all corners of the world in safety and luxury.
