Italian shipyard Rossinavi is pleased to announce the design and sale of a new 70 metre motor yacht, King Shark, able to navigate in extreme ice conditions, including the Arctic. While there have been other motor yachts introduced to the market with ice exploration capabilities, King Shark’s point of difference is that it has been developed with an emphasis on yachting lifestyle, able to move from the warm waters of the Caribbean to the sub-zero conditions of Antarctica. The harmonious design features of the yacht see as much emphasis on the aesthetics as the technical abilities of the boat. Key design features of this ice class certified vessel include:
Length over all, Loa: 70.00 m
Breadth, max @ fender: 12.70 m
Mean scantling draft from B.L.: 3,35 m
Gen-sets variable speed: 3×1025 ekw + 2×337 ekw
Max speed: 17 kts
Cruising speed, at abt. ½ load condition: 15 kts
Range (at approximately 12 knots): > 6.000 Nm
Gross Tonnage: 1560 GT
Exterior Design: Team For Design – Enrico Gobbi
Interior Design: Team For Design – Enrico Gobbi
Naval Architecture: Arrabito Naval Architects
It is highly unusual for boats in this category to have an elegant interior and exterior appearance, favouring only functionality. With this in mind, King Shark is positioned advantageously. Clients can explore unusual and exciting natural environments, such as the Arctic Circle, without sacrificing sophisticated design or comfort. In addition, King Shark also features electric propulsion.
King Shark will be built in Rossinavi’s Viareggio, Italy-based shipyard, the same facility that has built other widely recognized Rossinavi 70M yachts including High Power III (Former Numptia). When asked about the project, Rossinavi COO Federico Rossi commented: “after the Vector project with a length of 63M, we are very satisfied to be chosen again for this mega yacht construction and especially in this ice classification.” King Shark will be registered under Rina and Lloyd naval registry.
