What the Superyacht STEFANIA looks like.

Built in 2021, the Superyacht STEFANIA was designed by Dynamiq and features luxurious Art Deco interiors designed by Giuseppina Arena. Built with an aluminum hull and superstructure, this 41-meter long and 8.20-meter wide superyacht meets RINA’s highest commercial class standards and prestigious Comfort and Green StarPlus ratings.

Powered by two MAN V12 1650 engines with just 200 hours of operation, it cruises comfortably at 12 knots, reaching a top speed of 21 and a range of 5,000 nautical miles, thanks in part to its 29,600-liter fuel tanks. Featuring a shallow draft of only 1.8 meters, SUPERYACHT STEFANIA can anchor closer to sheltered bays and coves, while an advanced on-board stabilization system reduces the yacht’s lateral roll and promises guests an exceptional level of comfort at anchor.

Its two decks offer an area of about 120 m² divided into two areas, with a hot tub in the bow and two large TV screens, and a bar with unobstructed ocean views in the stern. Stefania also has a second oversized 4.5-ton 10-person pool and a solarium with a second bar. Two dinghies dedicated to guests and maneuvering.

Lacquered wood, suede, velvet, and marble (Calacatta Borghini, Calacatta Oro, Noir Saint Laurent, and Lasa): this palette of neutral beiges is enhanced by touches of ocean blue in the furniture and cushions. The main deck floors are white Lasa marble with gold inlays framing Oliver Treutlein’s exclusive hand-woven carpets. A wood-burning fireplace heats the large living room, with ceilings 2.2 meters high.
