Elevating both on-deck shelter and onboard comfort, the latest rendition of the Gozzo 35, born from the collaborative minds of Cataldo Aprea, Marco Casali, and Umberto Tagliavini, emerges as a testament to year-round navigation. Marked by a freshly conceived deckhouse, this vessel boasts an elegantly contoured structure that blends style with functionality.
In the yachting sector, finding a vessel that blends classic design with contemporary living is a rarity. The Apreamare Gozzo 35 Cabin, however, is one such yacht and pays homage to traditional Sorrento gozzo boats while offering modern amenities and year-round cruising capabilities.
The history of the gozzo spans centuries, with the vessel type originally being an Italian fishing boat. Its unmistakable rounded stern and bow pay homage to tradition, offering immediate recognition. The original design incorporated masts and sails, but contemporary interpretations have since shifted towards using sleek planing hulls and high-performance engines.
Cataldo Aprea, the visionary at the helm of Apreamare, has steered the shipyard into new waters, targeting fresh customer segments and new markets. The Cabin version of the Gozzo 35 is an embodiment of this expansion, crafted to satisfy owners who crave a comfortable, safe, and easily maneuverable yacht that does not compromise on the brand's core values: exceptional seaworthiness, hull stability, and aesthetic allure.
The vessel is the product of a collaborative effort between renowned designers Marco Casali and Umberto Tagliavini. They have managed to create a yacht that retains the charm of its open predecessor (the Gozzo 35) while introducing revolutionary elements that redefine the gozzo concept. The deckhouse, with its panoramic glazing, not only offers shelter but also fills the lounge with natural light, affording guests with a remarkable 360-degree seascape.
Interiors and exteriors converse seamlessly, thanks to a sliding glass door system that can either merge the indoor and outdoor spaces or shield occupants from the elements. The indoor helm station is complemented by a functional galley, and the L-shaped dinette promises a convivial dining experience.
Comfort is paramount on the Apreamare Gozzo 35 Cabin, evidenced by its generous stern platform, expansive forward sun pad, cockpit seating for six, and wide side decks. Safety is also a top priority, with high bulwarks and a strategically lowered gunwale that includes a safety rail without detracting from the yacht's sleek silhouette.
Below the deck, the ingenuity of design continues. The layout accommodates two cabins and a bathroom, with an enhanced guest cabin amidships featuring a wider bed and an improved bathroom and shower area.
The yacht comes with a choice of propulsion systems, including twin Volvo Penta D4-270 DPI or D4-320 DPI sterndrives, or a traditional Volvo Penta D4-320 in-line shaft. This ensures that the yacht is not only a joy to pilot, but is also reliable and delivers efficient performance.
The first Gozzo 35 Cabin is set to make a public debut in early 2024. If you're in the market for a new yacht, the Apreamare Gozzo 35 Cabin promises to be a standout vessel, combining the best of Italian craftsmanship with the demands of modern yachting.
