A Jewel Only Nature Could Inspire
The sea has begun to write its journeys upon Florentia’s hull, employing both poetry and passion. Inspired by nature, designed with experience, and executed with precision, this 52-meter Rossinavi yacht has captured even the ocean’s ephemeral attention. Launched on June 13 of 2020, Florentia’s elements of style, with a gentle flow sculpted in steel, establish the yacht as a modern classic.
No one puts Florientia’s features into perspective as clearly as Rossinavi CEO Federico Rossi: “A yacht characterized by romantic lines for a timeless elegance that features refined interiors and generous spaces. Florentia is a vessel in which Functionality and efficiency are a testament to style.”
The Specifications
Launched from the Rossinavi yard in Pisa, Italy, Florentia is a full displacement, fully custom steel hull yacht carrying an aluminum superstructure. At 810 GT, her 52-meter length is balanced with a 10.35-meter beam, requiring a shallow draft of just 2.70 meters.
The yacht was entirely constructed by the hand of Rossinavi, using their many in-house talents. Studio Vafiadis in Rome contributed the exterior lines. Arrabito Naval Architects attended to the mechanical, electrical, and safety engineering details. Interiors were crafted by the creative team at A++, with Carlo Colombo leading the way.
Carrying as many as 12 guests in 6 cabins and accommodations for 11 crew members permit peerless service to every guest on board. Enjoying the spaces spanning four decks and remarkable interior ceiling heights reaching 2.35 meters. Stefano Vafiadis notes, “Florentia is the most representative example of a fully bespoke superyacht made in Italy. This is a boat entirely designed and built around the owner and his needs. We’ve been challenged with the difficult brief to create a timeless gem where classic features and shapes meet modern details.”
Two CAT 3512E, 1901 kW at 1800 rpm engines enable a maximum speed of 17 knots. At 13.5 knots, Florentia is capable of a globetrotting, 6500 nm range.
Rossinavi: The Luxury of Experience
Bespoke yachts from Rossinavi require focused attention to each and every detail, finding solutions where none previously existed.

Propelling the brand from Fratelli Rossi’s high-quality fishing boat hulls of 1980 to the groundbreaking 70-meter luxury yachts in build today, Officine Rossinavi’s philosophy has not wavered: whatever we do, it must be done well. Rossinavi continues to be the only family-owned/operated superyacht company in Italy.

At The Heart of Florentia’s
Reaching out to upper and lower decks from the main, each step of Florentia’s staircase moves through a delightful play of light, shape, and texture. Silvered circular lamps artfully illuminate the spiral, accentuating the wooden handrail trimmed in chrome on the upper, while a polished silver sweep leads to the lower. Posh and dense, a pale pewter cloud of carpeting hushes stairwell activity.
