General

The Owner has been thoroughly involved into the building process of LATINOU and has followed and even leaded the project from the very first handmade drawings to the delivery. He had chartered extensively before getting into this new built project and had therefore a great technical knowledge about superyachts, allowing efficient and constructive discussions with the Benetti shipyard and especially with Antonio Pozzi, LATINOU's Project Manager.

The decoration theme of LATINOU is contemporary art deco. The objective of the Owner and Mauro Izzo, the interior decorator of the shipyard, was to create a special and fine atmosphere that would evocate the ambiance and grandeur of the TRANSATLANTIC ocean liners from the 1920s and the 1930s (Normandie, Queen Elisabeth, France, Rex), but without going too deep into details though, so as to be able to combine this kind of decoration with a modern touch. A wide range of typical materials has been used, such as stainless steel, fine leather, engraved glass and shagreen better known as Galuchat (ray skin).


Accommodations

Master Stateroom

Located on the front part of the Main Deck, the full beam Master Cabin is provided with much natural light thanks to two sliding doors giving access to balconies fitted with armchairs and a table on both port and starboard sides, allowing the Owner to choose on which side of the boat he wants to be, whatever the position of the sun or the view he wants to have. Those balconies are one of the most desirable parts of the boat as they allow being in contact with the sea while at anchor, still with comfort and safety.

The bedroom itself is fitted with a TV plasma 42'' (system with CD/DVD and radio) and has access to two good sized dressings on each side of the bathroom. This layout allows the Owner and his wife to have their own separate dressing and own access to the full beam elegant bathroom. This latter is fully equipped with one basin on each side of the bath/Jacuzzi located right under a green lighted art deco engraved glass, one large massage/Jacuzzi shower, one vanity table and separate toilets/bidet. In those toilets is located the escape hatch (MCA compliant) for the Owner's cabin.
Between the Foyer and the Owner's Cabin is located the Owner's office, with a beautiful leather/lacquered Makassar ebony wood desk and armchairs. The office is fitted with internet/computer connection and provides lots of stylish storages, including book storage. Huge portholes provide a fantastic sea view.

VIP Cabin


Due to its location on the starboard side of the Upper Deck and its huge windows, this cabin has an amazing view on the sea, creating a real feeling of space and luxury. Here again, there are wooden furniture, such as a Makassar ebony desk with armchair, topped with Galuchat.

As all the other cabins, linens are made with Egyptian cotton of the finest quality.
The huge en-suite bathroom receives plenty of natural light and is equipped with double sink and shower.

Guests Cabins

The Lower Deck provides 4 double cabins: three with a double bed and one with twin single beds. Each cabin has its own en-suite bathroom and is widely illuminated by natural light thanks to oval portholes.


All cabins' decoration is in the same spirit throughout the boat, with thick smooth beige carpet and cherry wood furniture. All of them are fitted with a flat screen TV that hides behind an electrically operated rise and fall mirror when not used.

The two largest Guest Cabins are located amidships. They are strictly identical and symmetrical, with nice sea view, desk and sofa, walk-in wardrobe and bathrooms, plus a little hidden storage that allows to have always at hand some bottles of water or any other useful items.
The third one, with two single beds, is perfectly sized to comfortably welcome children or friends. The fourth one is equipped with two single beds plus a Pullman bed, making this cabin a perfect place for three children.

Main Saloon

The automatic sliding doors give access to the main saloon where we first find a bar area with a table and two very comfortable armchairs. The floor is beautifully laid with engraved teak and can definitely be used as a dance floor area, using the vicinity of the bar for refreshments.

Two steps lead down to the Main Saloon itself with sofas and armchairs seating 12 guests comfortably. The contemporary art deco provides a maritime look and feel to the interior. The beige carpet, associated with beige and red furniture, creates a soft atmosphere warmly heated by the wooden furniture, topped with Galuchat, and smartly displayed indirect lighting. Huge rectangular windows on both sides provide the saloon with plenty of natural light.
The rise and fall TV plasma 42'' (system with CD/DVD and radio) is incorporated in the sculptural wooden furniture separating the saloon and the dining room. 

Dining Room


The dining room welcomes 12 guests around two rectangular engraved wood tables that can be assembled to create a large square formal dining area. The mirror ceiling and the huge backlit glass feature made by Livornese craftsmen enhance the art deco theme and provide this dining area with an exquisite feeling of refinement.


Aft Deck

The spacious aft deck provides a large al fresco sofa for 8 and two low tables for informal cocktails. There is an access on the starboard side to the staircase leading to the garage and the swimming platform (Beach Club).

Another staircase, hidden on the starboard sidewalk, leads to the Upper Deck.

Foyer

The Main Deck foyer is situated to starboard between the Dining Room and the Owner's office. It includes a day head and access to the sweeping staircase that definitely evocates the grand staircase on the old transatlantic passenger liners. The glass elevator that serves all five decks from the beauty salon room up to the Sun Deck is the real centrepiece of the vessel.


Upper Deck Saloon

The saloon is located further aft. It can easily welcome all the guests who will enjoy a fantastic sea view whether they are seating on the sofa watching the horizontally sliding flat screen TV, armchairs or around the game table or even at the bar.


Sliding doors give access to the outside deck where the formal oval table can easily welcome 12 guests for al fresco dining. This place is really lovely to enjoy lunch and diner even when sailing, as the side glass protection, associated with white curtains, allows to be fully protected from the wind and provides a full privacy when anchored on port. There are also sofas and low tables to enjoy the view from this part of the boat, either at anchorage or when running.

 


Accommodations (cont.)

Wheelhouse
Fully equipped with navigation and communication units adapted to long range cruising, the wheelhouse, located on the Upper Deck, is purposefully lined in non reflective dark-coloured leather. This is not a simple wheelhouse: it is a thoroughly thought-out wheelhouse inspired by transatlantic liners and designed to be fully adapted for a commercial use. The main helm console for instance is fully surroundable, for easy electronics access and maintenance.  What is striking from the wheelhouse is the silence while underway. Main engines and generators are just inaudible. This, added to the predominant position in front of the boat and the absolute stability, provides a feeling of perfect weightlessness when going through the waves.

Sun Deck
It can be accessed from the Upper Deck or via the lift and even through an independent staircase for the crew coming from the Upper Deck pantry.
This is truly the most enjoyable part of the boat. When standing on the elevated aft part of the deck and looking toward the front, the perspective is quite impressive with its length of 20m.
The Sun Deck is totally dedicated to the sun and is fitted with all equipments to spend great time outside: sport machines, beach chairs, shower, Tepanyaki (Japanese grill).
On the front part is located the lift cabin, surrounded by a huge sun bed and a bench facing the front of the boat, providing here an amazing position to enjoy the front view underway.
The large-sized Jacuzzi faces the outside galley and, protected from the sun by the radar arch, is located a large round table surrounded by chairs and sofa.
Further aft is located a huge sun tan area that can easily welcome four beach chairs as well as low tables. This place is also totally ideal for a cocktail party as it provides enough room to welcome an orchestra for instance.

Galley
Ideally located next to the dining room and with direct access to both main and upper pantry, the Galley is elegant, using the same quality finish as the interior art deco. Steam oven, cook top, microwave, normal oven equip this area, as well as a lift from the fridge/freezer room.
The pantry allows separating the Galley from the Dining Room and provides access to the Upper Deck and the port sideway. This place is equipped with coffee machine and dumbwaiter to the Upper Deck pantry.

Crew Accommodation
The front part of the Lower Deck is dedicated to crew. The crew mess takes place next to the crew galley and has direct access to staircases for discrete and efficient crew circulation on board. The sofa and tables are largely sized in order to provide very good living conditions for the crew. The fridge/freezer room on the Under Lower Deck is accessible with a staircase and heavy loads can be lifted to the Lower Deck thanks to the lift running from there to the Main Deck Galley.
Further on the bow are located 5 cabins with bunk beds and en-suite bathrooms. There is a MCA compliant escape hatch.

On the Under Lower Deck is located the wide 6th crew cabin that which will very comfortably accommodate two crew. On the front part is the laundry, housing 3 washers, 3 driers and 1 roller. This area is widely cooled off by air conditioning to provide good working conditions.

Between the Engine Room and the front part of this deck there is a corridor providing storage for all guests luggage.

Beauty salon
Located on the Under Lower Deck and with access provided by the lift, is an area dedicated to beauty as well as hair dressing. It is definitely a great bonus to have an area like this on board.
