Exuma
The Picchiotti 50 metre Exuma, is the first motor yacht of the Vitruvius series built by the Perini Navi Group. The Vitruvius series was conceived with a focus on efficiency for fully autonomous, reliable, and elegant navigation. These concepts of the Picchiotti – Vitruvius series are realized in the hull and superstructure design, the organization of the guest and crew accommodations and the onboard equipment that will allow for the discovery and exploration of the surrounding environment.
Philippe Briand, naval architect and designer of the Vitruvius® concept, was inspired by the streamlined principles of sailboat hulls, where the lines of design, volume distribution and the study of weights are optimized to attain the best efficiency. The aluminium hull, follows the principles of the Briand Optimized Stretched (BOS®) Hull and is characterized by streamlined, limited waterline length and a straight and deep bow. The BOS® Hull, and two zero speed roll stabilisers endow the hull with exceptional cruising stability. Combined with the installed power, these features ensure long-term navigation in total safety and tranquillity. Exuma’s gross tonnage is under 500 tons, and displaces about 400 tons. She features a reduced draft of 2.3 metres that allows navigation in shallow waters.
