Tina Turner sang «Simply the Best». Superleggera 80 is one of the last unveiling of the Simply Custom Collection by Oceanco, the line the Dutch shipyard provided to accomplish designers with a technical foundation to express their creativity. Announced at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show the Simply Custom Collection, this 80-metre superyacht is equipped with an all-electrical propulsion and energy architecture system and offers an efficient hull design penned by Lateral Naval Architects. Superleggera 80 is even more. Starting from the name: a tribute to one of the most iconic chairs from Giò Ponti, the Italian architect who signed transatlantic liners and skyscrapers. Superleggera 80 has sporty, sexy and elegant lines. Like a 1960s automobile. The interplay between volume and emotion onboard is intended to evoke the same sense of awe you can feel in an expansive penthouse. Glasses, natural light and space are a natural pathway fron the interior and exterior of the yacht. The Milanese studio Hot Lab designed Superleggera according to the idea that today’s clients place higher value on how a space connects them to such deeper emotions, rather than simply serving a practical function. «We think and realize architecture for voyagers, using an eraser more than a pencil. The timeless elegance of our yachts should comply to the importance of creating balanced proportions throughout a yacht but never be boring», they say at Hot Lab. Indeed, but this is philosophy. What does it really mean onboard? A colossal five meter high main deck atrium; the clean, sweeping lines of the Superleggera aft as the floor flows past the infinity-effect pool and glazed bulwark to the swim platform beneath drawing an uninterrupted curve. Simply amazing.
