Spadolini releases first images of Rosetti Superyachts' supply vessel

Italian designer Tommaso Spadolini has released images showcasing the vertical sections of the 85-metre (279-foot) supply vessel concept he has designed for Rosetti Superyachts.

The drawings highlight the vessel’s design features, including a two-tier owner’s deck with private forward terrace, a main saloon and beach club located below the aft helipad, and an open and covered companionway, which links the aft deck with forward accommodation.

Discussing the concept, Spadolini commented, “The biggest challenge was to create something different from the look-alike expedition vessels already available. I studied the market very carefully and came up with a masculine, no-frills exterior design, but it’s the general arrangement that really sets this project apart.” 

The aft-deck arrangement provides unique solutions designed to enhance the project’s vocation as an expedition yacht or supply vessel; to optimise heli operations, the fully certified helideck is placed as far from the guest accommodation and forward superstructure as possible. As a result, the owner can walk from the helipad along the open companionway to the forward superstructure and directly access their duplex apartment. 

Below the saloon, on the lower deck, sits the spacious beach club with folding-side platforms, bar, sauna and massage room, and there is also direct access to the portside tender bay.

“Despite the large deck areas dedicated to storage for tender and toys, I was able to develop a vessel with a volume of over 2,000 gross tonnes split between the forward superstructure and aft guest area below the helipad,” Spadolini continued. “Connected by an open and covered walkway, this is a unique arrangement on a yacht borrowed from certain working vessels.”

The owner’s apartment is arranged on two levels; the master suite with ‘his-and-hers’ bathrooms is on the upper deck, with a private staircase connecting with the private deck above, which houses a lounge and open-air terrace with hot tub overlooking the foredeck. Another saloon aft serves as a media room and/or sky lounge.

Four guest cabins with en-suite bathrooms and walk-in dressing rooms are located on the main deck, arranged around the central lobby and elevator, serving all five decks. The galley, crew lounge, dinette and accommodation are found on the lower deck, while additional crew cabins are housed on the forward main deck. 

As a full-custom project, owners can bring in their own interior designers, although Spadolini has developed an interior proposal that he describes as “contemporary and comfortable, but not lavish.”

He noted, “As we weren’t constrained by the limitations of a traditional yacht or by the requests of a specific owner, I was able to come up with layout solutions that break the mould.

“The 85m is also available with the helipad amidships, but the aft version is arguably the purest expression of an expedition yacht or supply vessel. Able to voyage anywhere and buildable at relatively low cost, it’s the most authentic yacht I’ve designed in my 40-year career.”
