Every surface on the 571 Blade serves the view, not just the eye.
Marco Casali drew her naval architecture and exterior lines around an open, walkaround deck that keeps the sea within reach from bow to transom. A carbon fibre hardtop, roll bar and exterior galley shave weight from the superstructure, while the hull itself is built in vacuum bagged fibreglass for stiffness without bulk. Forward, built in loungers face the horizon. Aft, a reversed sofa sits above the swimming platform and a tender garage, keeping the transom clear for swimming and watersports. The whole deck is finished in Awlgrip paint, giving owners a wide palette to match the yacht to their own taste rather than settling for a standard shade.
Forty two knots at cruise is not a typo. It is the point.
Standard power comes from twin MAN V12 engines rated at 1,800 horsepower each, enough to push her to a 50 knot top speed while cruising comfortably at 42. Owners who want to tailor the platform further can specify triple Volvo Penta IPS pod drives or twin Caterpillar C32 diesels, each changing the character of the ride without changing the hull beneath them. A 1.4 metre draught keeps shallow anchorages and tight marina berths within reach, and 3,200 litres of fuel carry her 300 nautical miles at cruising speed, enough for a full day’s run between ports without a second thought.
Below deck, the 571 Blade trades volume for intimacy, and wins.
Two cabins accommodate four guests overnight, a deliberate choice that keeps the layout generous rather than cramped for a yacht under 20 metres. Canados’ own design team handles the interior, dressing seating and berths in Poltrona Frau leather, the same house that supplies Ferrari’s cabins, and carrying the same attention to stitching and grain through every surface. The result feels closer to a driver’s yacht than a floating apartment: compact, considered and built for owners who use her rather than simply display her.
Day guests outnumber overnight guests two to one, and the deck plan is built around that math.
Up to eight can gather on board for an afternoon on the water, moving freely between the foredeck loungers, the central steering position and the aft swim platform without crossing paths. A crew of two keeps the yacht running and the deck clear for guests, handling lines, tenders and service so the focus stays on the water itself. It is a layout suited to the long lunch and the spontaneous swim stop as much as the overnight passage, flexible enough to serve either without compromise.
Built by Canados and engineered in house, the 571 Blade is a considered entry point into serious open yacht performance.
At 18 metres length overall on a 4.8 metre beam, she carries a dry displacement of 27 tonnes, a figure kept low by her composite construction and one of the reasons she reaches 50 knots on twin engines rather than three or four. Canados Engineering oversees the build from naval architecture through to systems integration, giving buyers a single point of accountability across the yacht. For an owner moving up from a smaller performance boat, or looking for a true driver’s yacht alongside a larger cruising vessel, she offers genuine speed without the compromises that usually come with it.
