We first introduced our readers and clients to motor yacht EXUMA in mid-March. At the time, we were a bit skeptical a company known for building luxury sailing charter vessels (the Perini Navi Group) would tackle a project to build a 50 meter motoryacht.
Any remaining skepticism has been replaced with jubilation as the Picchiotti built motor yacht EXUMA has been awarded Motoryacht of the Year at the World Superyacht Awards 2011. The 50 meter yacht was also named Best Displacement Motoryacht under 500 gross tons.
The sixth annual international ceremony was held last week, May 7th, in London's Guildhall. The Perini Navi yacht EXUMA was co-designated the winner along with the 162.5 meter yacht ECLIPSE, built by Blohm and Voss, styled by Terence Disdale Design, and owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich.
The Perini Navi yacht EXUMA was designed by naval architect Philippe Briand. As we reported in March, the vessel is "unparalleled in terms of interior space design and deck organization. There are large spaces dedicated to ensuring privacy among guests, and plenty of room to store the yacht's sizable watertoy equipment inventory."
Unique onboard toys include a Hovercraft, underwater Seabob scooter, an electric moped, and an Amphibian jeep.
