One of the most popular superyachts at the Monaco Yacht Show
in September, Rossinavi’s Aurora is all sharp angles and straight lines.
The
yacht’s Fulvio de Simoni–designed exterior has dramatic cutouts along the
forward edges and a gun-sight-shaped anchor chock at the bow. The 161-foot
yacht’s only exterior curves are a slight bend in the pilothouse and arches
toward the stern. Aurora’s 28-year-old owner mandated that the yacht be wild
and beautiful but also a social animal, and so it has an unusually large beach
club, with steam room, and a foredeck with lounges and a swimming pool. The
interior has not one but three saloons, and two VIP staterooms, along with the
stunning master suite on the main deck. Two other guest cabins are on the deck
below.
Aurora could have gone down in yachting history as the
ultimate bachelor’s pad, but Achille Salvagni’s interior is a decidedly
feminine counterpoint. Salvagni used curves everywhere: circular sofas,
soft-edged custom lamps, and even marble walls that, defying the laws of
nature, bend gently around corners. Combining the different visions inside and
out turned out to be a masterstroke in yacht design.
