Cantieri di Pisa has introduced the first model in a new range of five yachts. The Saturno range will be made up of five steel, aluminium, and composite models.
The models will range from the 38 metre Saturno 38, to the 90-metre Super Saturno 90 flagship – all sharing black and white lines on the hull sides, ‘ribbon’ windows and a traditionally designed stern.
The first model will be Saturno 56, with a newly designed beach club that is connected to the main and upper decks by a transverse staircase.
The yacht, which has an overall length of 57 metres and a beam of 11.2 metres, has a six-cabin layout and interiors by m2atelier, the Milan-based studio founded by Marco Bonelli and Marijana Radovic and the designer of Saturno yachts over 56 metres.
This range has a classic layout that reprises Cantieri di Pisa’s traditional stylistic hallmarks.

“This range has a classic layout that reprises Cantieri di Pisa’s traditional stylistic hallmarks – not least the black and white lines on the hull sides and the ‘ribbon’ windows – but also satisfies demand from contemporary owners of all ages for spaces that alternate moments of relaxation and sport, as well as ensuring light-filled settings thanks to significantly larger glazed surfaces,” said the shipyard’s chief designer Antonio Luxardo.
Key features include an increase in the height of the long windows compared to the shipyard’s traditional designs, a 90sqm main deck lounge and six cabins.
“Saturno is the new line of large vessels that revisits Cantieri di Pisa’s iconic boats,” explained the designers.
“Using an innovative language and a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity to exemplify the sea-loft concept and aspiring to an on-board lifestyle characterised by the sense of freedom typical of these contemporary open-plan architectural designs that are ideal for third-millennium families.”
Like all the shipyard’s projects, the 56 has an EHPH (Eco High Power Hull) displacement hull for long-range cruising and reduced consumption.
The yacht is powered by two 1,600hp Caterpillar C32 units and the shipyard is also exploring the possibility of a hybrid alternative.
