Delivered in 2019, Vanadis is an award winning 31.19m motor yacht for sale built by Italian shipyard Cerri Cantieri Navali. Her interior design and exterior styling comes from the drawing boards of Guido de Groot Design, while Ginton Naval Architects is responsible for her naval architecture.
Key Features
- Lloyd's Hybrid Power certification
- Large flybridge
- 175kWh lithium battery bank
- 5.5m tender
Design & Construction
Designed around a full displacement aluminium hull and superstructure she features a 7.02m beam and a 2.16m draft. The yacht is built over 2 decks with an internal volume of 187 GT (Gross Tonnes).
This was the fourth yacht built on the Fuoriserie design. The yacht was designed and constructed in compliance with the Lloyds Register technical standards. Launched in May 2019 this yacht undertook sea trials over the following months. She was delivered to her owners in August 2019.
Exterior Design
Vanadis has a much more traditional profile than the modern machinery underneath suggests. Guido de Groot gave the 31m (101.7ft) yacht a long bow, rounded deckhouse glazing and soft, fairly restrained lines, so there is very little in the shape that advertises the hybrid system, azimuthing pods or battery bank below.
The large main-deck windows are one of the stronger features from the side. They occupy a good part of the superstructure without turning into one continuous black strip, and the rounded forward end suits the yacht's more classical look. Lower down, the tall oval hull windows bring light into the guest accommodation.
There is a proper guest area at both ends of the main deck. Forward, a broad sunpad sits inside the high bow with a separate seating area behind it, while the aft cockpit has another sheltered lounge. The two spaces are far enough apart to give guests somewhere quieter away from the main aft deck.
The flybridge takes up a generous amount of the yacht's length. A second helm sits forward, with dining, a bar and sun loungers further aft beneath a mix of fixed and fabric shade. It is a simple arrangement, but there is good clear deck between each area rather than furniture being pushed into every corner.
The tender is carried openly across the aft bathing platform. At 5.5m (18ft), it is a substantial boat for a yacht of this length, and keeping it outside the hull avoids giving up internal volume to a garage. Once launched, the platform becomes a much cleaner waterside area.
Interior Design
The interior is based on a modern interpretation of Jugendstil, the German branch of Art Nouveau. That gives Vanadis something quite different from the neutral interiors common on newer yachts of this size.
Bleached ash, walnut and pale fabrics keep the rooms light, while the furniture was selected with the owner from makers including Wittmann, Poltrona Frau, Giorgetti, Knoll and JAB. The larger windows help too, particularly in the main saloon where daylight reaches deep into the room.
The main deck is straightforward and very open. Behind the wheelhouse is a saloon with a large L-shaped sofa, then dining and an open galley. There are fewer solid divisions than you might expect, so the social part of the deck reads as one long living space.
There are some very owner-specific details hidden within the joinery. Safety handles were worked directly into walls and furniture rather than added afterwards, with narrow slots acting as handholds in areas such as the hallway and owner's cabin. It is a small feature, but a good example of practical thinking being built into the design without making the interior look institutional.
The machinery arrangement also helped the interior plan. Rather than putting every major mechanical component in one large engine room amidships, the main engines sit aft and the generator compartment is forward. That freed more useful volume through the middle of the lower deck for accommodation.
Accommodation
Vanadis accommodates up to six guests in three suites, with accommodation for up to five crew.
All three guest cabins are on the lower deck. The owner's cabin is joined by two guest suites, keeping the sleeping accommodation together and away from the main saloon and galley above.
The 31m (101.7ft) length could easily have pushed the lower deck towards a tighter arrangement, but the split machinery setup leaves more of the central hull available for people rather than equipment.
Large hull windows also help here, bringing more natural light into cabins that would otherwise sit quite deep within the yacht.
Performance & Capabilities
This is where Vanadis becomes much more interesting.
Twin Caterpillar C9.3 diesels produce around 380hp each and give the yacht a top speed of about 13 knots, with normal cruising around 11 knots. With 25,800 litres of fuel, range is quoted at approximately 2,700 nautical miles.
The diesel engines are only one part of the propulsion system. Each shaft line also has a 55kW electric motor/generator, while a 175kWh AKASOL lithium-ion battery bank can supply propulsion and hotel loads. Siemens developed the integrated power-management system around a 750V DC network, tying together the diesel engines, electric motors, generators and batteries.
At anchor, the battery bank can run most hotel loads for up to 17 hours without the generators. In full-electric propulsion mode, the published figure is up to around two hours at 5 knots, while electric operation can reach approximately 8 knots depending on load and operating mode.
The system also uses the batteries for peak shaving, so sudden increases in electrical demand do not necessarily require another generator to start. At lower loads, the power-management system can also reduce unnecessary generator running.
Propulsion is through twin Schottel STP 150 FP azimuthing pods, each able to rotate through 360 degrees. Xenta's Integrated Steering System brings the pods and bow thruster under one processor, allowing the captain to control thrust and direction from a joystick.
Dynamic Positioning is part of the same setup. Instead of dropping an anchor, Vanadis can use GPS, the pods and bow thruster to hold her position and heading electronically.
The stabilisation package is unusually comprehensive too, with Quick MC2 55K gyros working alongside CMC Stabilis Electra SE60 electric fins. The gyros are particularly useful at anchor, while the fins become more effective once the yacht is moving.
Vanadis was the first Italian-built motor yacht to receive Lloyd's Register Hybrid Power certification, so the hybrid installation was not simply an optional add-on to a conventional drivetrain. It was central to the yacht from the start.
Amenities
Air conditioning offers increased on-board comfort.
