The interiors reveal a sporty, tech-driven aesthetic with the warmth of bleached oak and the sleek contrast of metal and steel.
First announced at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival, Antonio Luxardo, the Yard’s chief designer, is responsible for the yacht's exterior styling, which retains the classic lines synonymous with the brand. The yacht will be constructed using carbon and glass composite materials and will achieve a top speed of 35 knots. Cantieri di Pisa CEO Marco Massabò commented, "The first model in the new series...will combine the iconic lines of the original range with various characteristics designed to meet current market demand."
A Fresh Take on Interior Design
The yacht presents a layout that highlights symmetry and fluidity. The main deck's design focuses entirely on guest enjoyment, featuring a spacious salon that doubles as a versatile dining area. Clever sliding panels transform the formal dining space into a generous salon, seamlessly blending with a sculptural galley. It's an ideal spot for those show cooking experiences you won't want to miss.
A standout feature on the motor yacht is the floating staircase, crafted from metal and glass. It isn't just functional; it's the salon's sculptural centrepiece. Below deck, you'll find four guest cabins and an owner's suite, each boasting expansive glazing. This design choice enhances the connection with the sea while ensuring privacy.
A deliberate contrast between warm materials like bleached oak and cold metal and steel finishes gives the settings a sporty, technological look.

Pulina Exclusive Interiors
In terms of aesthetics, Pulina has opted for a deliberate contrast between warm bleached oak and sleek metal finishes, giving the yacht a sporty, technological look. The fresh, neutral colour palette enhances the interiors, creating an atmosphere of lightness and openness. Pulina emphasizes that every on-board space is crafted to optimize the guest experience, balancing comfort and adventure, with elements designed to express responsible luxury focused on aesthetics and wellbeing.
The yacht accommodates a crew of nine, including the captain, with quarters thoughtfully divided between the lower and main decks. Performance-wise, the Akhir 44 is no slouch. Three powerful 2,600 HP MTU engines propel it to a cruising speed of 30 knots, with a top speed of 35 knots. Its gross tonnage stands at approximately 395 tons.
An Italian Collaboration in Excellence
The collaboration with Pulina Exclusive Interiors, a high-end Italian design firm, was a strategic choice, aimed at delivering interiors that offer maximum comfort and elegance. The design firm, led by Alessandro Pulina, brings a wealth of experience from prestigious projects across Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East. Pulina, an architecture graduate from Florence University and former style manager at major international boatbuilders, ensures the Akhir 44 provides a unique on-board experience for cosmopolitan owners.
Pulina, who leads the design effort, remarked, "The spaces are characterized by our carefully curated selection of materials and by innovative architectural solutions that balance energy in motion with a sense of spatial harmony."
This new yacht appeals to those who appreciate a brand that has shaped yachting's past and continues to influence its future. The partnership with Pulina Exclusive Interiors evidences Cantieri di Pisa's commitment to excellence and forward-thinking design.
