The stylish Zahraa by Admiral Tecnomar
Italian superyacht builder Admiral Tecnomar has delivered the stylish Tecnomar NADARA 30-metre, now officially named “Zahraa”. The new smallest yacht in the Admiral Tecnomar line-up, Zahraa immediately differentiates herself from her superyacht predecessors with a new look and a new line to her profile.
Exterior styling
Reminiscent of the past, but with styling cues of the future, Zahraa is a unique bridge between old and new models. “We made modifications to the superstructure design,” stated Giulio Pennacchio, Admiral Tecnomar’s general director.
“We brought in a lot of new elements that are a signal to the new models under construction. From a design point of view she is a big upgrade [over previous Tecnomar Nadara 30s], but with a really classic line. The yacht looks really slim, and much bigger than her 30 metres.”
The external lines are captivating and innovative. The hull is bronze coloured with red waterline and design metal grids at aft. The lowered bulwarks and the extra-large windows allow maximum natural light in the main deck and all Guests’ cabins.
Finally, Zahraa was designed to obtain a semi-planing condition with a max speed of 22 knots and a cruising speed of 19.5 to 20 knots. The yard consulted with RINA’s noise department, and the effort is born out in the result – sound levels range from 38dB to 46dB, with an average of 42dB.
Interior design
“The style is totally different, and the layout is totally different,” explained Giulio Pennacchio, Admiral Tecnomar’s general director. “You can’t compare Zahraa to other 30 metre yachts because the interior and the quality of materials is something you more usually find on 40 to 45 metre yachts.”
Designed by Tecnomar Centro Stile, the yacht Zahraa has been personalized with each Owner’s taste and style by combining comfort, space and high quality craftsmanship. The result is unique space optimization, charming lines, sophisticated interiors and stunning lighting system.
The main deck hosts the cozy and comfortable main saloon featuring a glamorous bar corner in backlighted onyx and two modern design leather sofas. Further forward on the main deck is the galley and the wheelhouse.
Comfortably accommodating 8 guests, the layout includes two double guest cabins, one VIP and the Owner’s suite aft on the lower deck.
“The client wanted an elegant yacht that was modern, but not too modern, and that was not too classic but which had some really classic elements,” said Pennacchio. “He asked for a really nice, big space inside, and a lot of comfort especially in the saloon.”
To top it all off, the yacht outdoor areas are surprisingly spacious for relaxing and conviviality. The main deck includes an outstanding relaxation area with sunbeds and Jacuzzi at the bow and a large dining table in teak and stainless steel accommodating 10 people.
Thanks to the use of loose furniture, repurposing the space is easy. “The owner really likes to be free to organise the space just by moving things around,” smiled Pennacchio.
In short, the yacht Zahraa is less a throwback to the past and more a statement of intent for the future of Admiral Tecnomar.
