ROMA is a very impressive, modern and stylish 62-metre motor yacht built by the acclaimed Italian shipyard VSY Viareggio Superyachts and delivered in 2010, the exceptional second chapter in VSY’s history and a yacht conceived to match the quality standards of the finest northern European builders. Launched under the project name Duchess of Tuscany and kept in superb condition through refits up to 2023, she pairs stunning exterior lines by the renowned Norwegian architect Espen Oeino with naval architecture by Studio Arnaboldi and a contemporary, ocean-inspired interior by Newcruise, the work of designer Katharina Raczek. Built on a full-displacement steel hull with an aluminium superstructure, and fitted with zero-speed stabilisers and a dynamic positioning system for exceptional comfort and handling, she cruises comfortably at 12 to 14 knots with a top speed of 17 knots and a long range, and holds the distinction of being the first yacht ever awarded RINA’s Green Star environmental certification. Her interior is a symphony of light shades and colour, with a palette of crisp whites contrasted against warm splashes of deep red, subtle gold and hints of green, and beautiful materials including Macassar ebony, natural marble, Madras silks and Townsend leathers. Throughout, elegant details pay homage to the sea, from the sand-like carpet in the main salon to the Nautilus sea-shell-inspired laser-cut panelling on the main staircase. The spacious main salon offers a pair of parallel L-shaped sofas and a chic onyx bar and table, ideal for relaxing and socialising, while a beautiful glass elevator serves four decks, making the yacht fully wheelchair-accessible. Life on deck and inside is exceptional, crowned by a standout on-board cinema whose walls are adorned with fibre-optic stars imitating the bioluminescence of the sea, along with a full-beam skylounge with a games table, a dedicated library and a well-equipped air-conditioned gym enjoying impressive views. Her generous sundeck is a favourite, with a large freshwater pool fitted with a swim-against current jet, adjustable sunpads, loungers and a bar, and she carries an outstanding inventory of toys, including an enormous 27-metre sundeck-to-sea waterslide, a magnificent Anvera chase tender, jet skis and Seabobs, all supported by a PADI Superyacht Dive Centre, the first of its kind. Accommodation is arranged for up to 12 guests in six contemporary en-suite staterooms. The voluminous full-beam master suite is located forward on the main deck, enjoying 270-degree panoramic views over the foredeck, a king-size bed, a regal bathroom with a bathtub and his-and-hers basins and an enviable dressing room, while a VIP stateroom, three double cabins and a twin cabin, which converts to a king and doubles as a nanny cabin, complete flexible, family-friendly accommodation. A professional crew of seventeen ensures a magical and seamless charter experience. ROMA cruises the Mediterranean, from her base on the French Riviera to Corsica, Sardinia, Italy and the Balearic Islands, and further afield to the Caribbean, and offers charter guests a rare combination of pioneering eco-conscious engineering, an imaginative sea-inspired interior, exceptional entertainment spaces and a superb sundeck aboard one of the most characterful and versatile charter yachts of her size on the market.
