Launched in 2003, S/Y Burrasca marked a decisive turning point for Perini Navi. At 56 metres overall, with an aluminium hull and superstructure, she inaugurated what would become the most successful series of large sailing yachts ever built by the shipyard. Her beam of 11.52 metres and displacement of 545 tonnes were balanced by a lifting keel, ranging from 3.9 to 9.7 metres, granting both stability offshore and access to shallower anchorages. With Ron Holland collaborating on naval architecture, Burrasca embodied a synthesis of engineering optimisation and distinctive Perini Navi style. The interiors, drawn by Perini Navi, extended across 157 square metres of guest and owner cabins, conceived as luminous and proportioned residences at sea. A main saloon and wheelhouse of 133 square metres provided both convivial gathering and command, while more than 100 square metres of crew areas ensured discretion and efficiency in service. The expansive cockpit of 61 square metres became the stage for al fresco living, supported by a lazarette of 42 square metres for tender and equipment stowage. The interiors of S/Y Burrasca reflect the early hallmark of Perini Navi’s 56m series: generous proportions, warmth of materials, and a discreet elegance conceived for extended voyages. Richly panelled in honey-toned wood, the saloons are suffused with natural light, opening fluidly from one space to the next. A dedicated dining area, intimate seating corners, and a main lounge with state-of-the-art entertainment create an atmosphere of refined domesticity, where comfort and functionality coexist.
