Cruising sailing super-yacht BARACUDA

5-cabinwith open transomaluminum

Designed by Perini Navi’s in-house naval architects in collaboration with Ron Holland, Baracuda introduces several technical innovations. Her canting keel allows the draught to vary from 4 to 9.7 metres, optimising both access and sailing performance. The sail plan is supported by two aluminium masts and a carbon-fibre boom developed by Perini Navi’s Mast Division, delivering a substantial sail area that underscores her focus on dynamic, responsive sailing. Unconventional Versatility S/Y Baracuda presents a striking exterior profile defined by an aluminium hull with sharp, aerodynamic lines and a distinctly contemporary presence. Her metallic grey livery, nuanced with golden undertones, interacts with the silvery reflections of the superstructure, while the unconventional rectangular portholes reinforce a language of controlled experimentation. The stern is designed for versatility, with a transom door that opens almost entirely to form an expansive swimming platform, connected to the tender garage via a hydraulically operated staircase. Essential forms Interiors by John Pawson are conceived with deliberate restraint, favouring clarity, light and proportion over ornamentation. The architectural approach is rooted in essential forms and balanced volumes, creating calm, luminous spaces that enhance the onboard experience and offer a refined counterpoint to the yacht’s assertive exterior character.
