06 · About CURIOSITY

Step aboard CURIOSITY, a yacht that beautifully captures the spirit of the golden age of yachting. Delivered in 1985 by Nicolini, this 45.2-meter (148’4”) classic has been meticulously refitted to meet today’s highest standards while preserving the soul and sophistication of her vintage origins. Her most recent enhancements, completed in the winter of 2025, include a reimagined sundeck, a sleek new bar in the main salon, and a redesigned sunbathing area at the bow, where contemporary design meets the timeless elegance.

With four expansive guest decks and over 200 square meters of outdoor space, CURIOSITY is designed for those seeking both intimacy and escape. Every detail on board invites you to unwind—whether you're basking in the sun, enjoying a quiet moment with a book, or sharing leisurely conversations with friends. One of her most captivating spaces is the Riot Flame Deck, a signature sundeck concept that pairs a stage-like wellness kitchen with a chic lounge area. The upper deck features a seven-seater Jacuzzi, the perfect spot for sunset cocktails or starlit relaxation. On the main deck, a spacious alfresco dining area sets the tone for indulgent meals at sea, while the extended swim platform aft doubles as a tranquil yoga space or the ideal launchpad for water sports adventures. A major two-year refit completed in 2021 transformed her layout, enhancing the sense of openness and flow across all decks. Today, CURIOSITY offers the generous living spaces of a much larger yacht—comparable to a 55-meter—without losing the intimate charm of a classic vessel.

Her interiors embrace a refined retro-modern aesthetic, combining natural fiber textiles, smooth white marble, cognac-toned leather, and rich briarwood finishes. The atmosphere on board is both elegant and soothing, further enhanced by an advanced air conditioning system and top-tier AV/IT technology. CURIOSITY welcomes up to 12 guests in six beautifully appointed staterooms. The Master Suite, located on the main deck, and a VIP stateroom on the upper deck provide elevated comfort, complemented by two additional double cabins and two twins, each with its own marble-clad en-suite bathroom. A dedicated crew of 10 ensures that every detail is taken care of, offering warm, discreet Italian-style service along with a curated selection of holistic activities both on deck and in the water.

Every element on board is tailored to elevate the guest experience. From seamless Wi-Fi connectivity and a soothing hot tub to her stabilizers, which ensure comfort both at anchor and underway, and a wide array of water toys for endless fun at sea, CURIOSITY has been designed for effortless enjoyment. A yacht of distinctive character, she stands out for her thoughtful blend of heritage and innovation. The latest upgrades bring fresh energy to her already striking profile, with a sushi bar and wellness lounge enhancing the sundeck, and flexible areas on the upper deck for sunbathing or massage treatments. The extended swim platform adds practical luxury to the stern, ideal for effortless access to the sea or peaceful moments of reflection. These features, along with her comprehensive refits, make CURIOSITY not only a tribute to the past but a celebration of modern yachting at its finest.
