"The talented young designer Giovanni Griggio, immediately understood the DNA of the company and gave shape to this original and beautiful project", said Fulvio Dodich, RSY CEO
The Rosetti Superyachts shipyard is specialised in the production of steel and aluminium yachts in the 35-140 metre range. The beautiful RSY 52m Supply Vessel Superyacht represents a totally new approach to a category of vessels that Rosetti knows very well.
The foundation of the concept behind this 52-metre Supply Vessel, developed by Rosetti Superyachts with the Italian designer Giovanni Griggio, of Phi Design Lab is to combine the functionality typical of a Supply Vessel with the design features and quality finish of a superyacht.
“To convey added value to this concept, I decided to introduce design elements characterised by a biomimetic structure in the side of the hull and in several areas in the interiors,” explains Giovanni Griggio. “I was inspired by the venation pattern of leaves. Nature always offers many inspiring tips, especially at a structural level, and we are always ready to learn.”
The project is based on a biomimetic concept: it’s inspired by the vein structure of leaves, with stylistic features adopted both on the outer hull and in the interiors. The end result is a yacht which is able to meet all the owner’s needs, even the most demanding ones.
An example is the aft tender garage, which can be easily transformed into an 80m2 beach club: the terraces can be opened thus creating an 80 sqm area overlooking the sea. Area of the gym and a spa includes a sauna and Turkish bath, with natural light filtering through the transparent bottom of the swimming pool on the upper deck.
The enormous 142 m2 aft deck (typical of supply vessel) can fit a helipad or a swimming pool, with a solarium and a living area. The sun deck offers a dining area and an open-air cinema, with a folding screen.
“Our vocation to explore is confirmed in the decision to offer an innovative layout with a more marked character, planned by a young designer who stands out for his creative spirit and initiative”, adds Fulvio Dodich.
The 52-metre Supply Vessel has a central living area and an asymmetrical layout on the two sides. The sliding doors completely allow obtaining an open space of the deck and the main salon. The saloon is full of natural light via full-height windows on the hull. Forward of the main deck, the owner has a dedicated area that includes a full-beam suite, walk-in wardrobe, private study, bathroom with double access and private hammam.
On the lower deck four double cabins, or twin cabins, can host up to 8 guests. The crew’s area is located on the lower deck and separated, so they can access the guests’ cabins through a service door in the laundry area, so they do not need to walk through the common areas.
Last time the shipyard has unveiled two 35- and 50-metres Supply Vessels.

Dutch yacht builder Zeelander Yachts has delivered Loloma, a fully customized 20.3-meter (66'7") version of its Zeelander 7 model to a globetrotting owner. The yacht's design was carefully coordinated to match the owner's superyacht, private jet, and helicopter.Loloma features several distinctive design elements, including a monochromatic silver-grey hull that eliminates the traditional waterline for enhanced visual connection to the sea. The yacht marks Zeelander's first use of brushed stainless steel finishes throughout, departing from the brand's typical polished stainless steel. Interior spaces showcase rare swamp oak paneling, formed when oak remains submerged for centuries, acquiring its distinctive grey-black coloration naturally.The owner specified a seamless synthetic teak deck without visible seams for a minimalist aesthetic. A permanent mesh bimini provides sun protection while maintaining open-air visibility. Performance comes from triple IPS 1350 engines delivering a 40-knot top speed, with a 2,700-nautical-mile range at 7 knots or 630 nautical miles at 32-knot cruising speed.Accommodations include a forward master suite with king-sized bed and two guest cabins, all benefiting from the yacht's generous volume. Crew quarters are positioned aft near the tender garage. The main salon features a folding table replicating one from the owner's private jet, seating eight guests.Sietse Koopmans, Zeelander founder, stated: "Thanks to the close involvement of her dedicated owner from drawing board sketches right through to delivery, Loloma is one of the most ambitious and tailor-made creations from our yard to date. Crafting a miniature superyacht which perfectly matches a mothership, jet and helicopter was certainly a unique challenge and one we truly relished."Loloma maintains Zeelander's signature quiet operation, with noise levels below 70 decibels at full speed. The yacht will begin an international itinerary including Mediterranean and Caribbean destinations before proceeding to Australia and Fiji, the latter being the namesake origin of "Loloma," meaning "love, kindness, and generosity."Zeelander's current model range spans from 15 to 24 meters (48' to 79'), with Loloma representing a highly customized example of the 20.3-meter Zeelander 7 platform. The delivery demonstrates the yard's capability to execute bespoke projects within its semi-production model structure.Zeelander Yachts was founded in 2002 in the Netherlands by Sietse Koopmans. The first model was unveiled to the public in 2008. The launch model Z44 received positive reviews at the Monaco Yacht Show and drew enormous crowds, despite being at an event dominated by much larger yachts. Within three years, the Z44 had been successfully introduced to the US as well as Europe, and it was an obvious direction to add a larger model to the fleet. The first Z55 was delivered in November 2015, and the flagship Z72 was launched in March 2019.Credit: Zeelander Yachts
