A line of open yachts with the name of Bugatti

Fast, colourful, egocentric and extroverted, but also extremely elegant and very luxurious. These are some of the adjectives that distinguish Palmer Johnson, a historic brand in yachting founded in the US almost a century ago

Only two years ago the motor yacht Khalilah, a gem some 49 metres long with carbon fibre hull, stunned the world. A gamble deemed foolish by many, or however particularly risky, which chose to go against the grain with a whole series of choices: reverse bow, large windows, enormous cut-out sections on the first bridge to give visibility to the interior and an incomprehensibly designed deckhouse, which appears to be oriented to amaze rather than be practical and useable.

But we are talking about a brand that is allowed some excesses, in fact, it actively looks to include them in order to satisfy its valuable international clientele - with its historic shipyard in the United States in business for a century, it has literally received every type of request.

The yacht features a spacious open deck that reflects Bugatti’s focus on craftsmanship and authentic materiality with carbon fibre, finest leather and naturally blue morta oak wood as the dominating elements. Maritime connoisseurs will also cherish the fire pit, centrally located between the Jacuzzi and the two forward seats that will be a main attraction.

Inspired by the amazing Bugatti Chiron, the outcome of this alchemy between Palmer Johnson and Bugatti is the limited edition Bugatti Niniette 66. A yacht with an image of streamlined luxury, unprecedented quality.
