Yacht name: Fincantieri Hull 6154
Length: 440 ft • 134 m
Year: 2010
Builder: Fincantieri Yachts • Benetti
Design: Espen Øino

Work started in 2007 on Hull # 6154, which is scheduled for delivery in 2010. Billed as the most technically advanced and most elegant megayacht being built to date, and designed by Espen Øino, with seven decks and a length of 134 m, Hull 6154 will be one of the largest yachts ever built. It is being built for a Russian client "apparently", but not Roman Abramovich, in the Muggiano yard, in La Spezia.

Fincantieri are more known for building military vessels - recently they launched the 244m Cavour Aircraft Carrier, for the Italian Navy - so this foray into the yacht market is a major step for them. While Fincantieri will be responsible for the major structural work, it is expected that Benetti will use their expertise in the finishing.

More info needed … !

Other announced projects include the 70m Prospect (Laurent Giles), 85m Wave (Stefano Natucci), 74m Goldmine (with Fraser Yachts), and the 102m Marco Polo (Camillo Costantini).

Ambrosia was scheduled to appear at the Monaco Yacht Show last year, but was evidently delayed. All we got to see of her was this model. She was spotted a couple of weeks ago in Cannes and this is the moment she entered Port Hercule for the first time a couple of hours ago!

The Quai des Etats Unis (one side of the port) was cleared this morning, in preparation for the annual Showboats International Monaco International Rendezvous 2006 Yacht Awards (they should shorten that!) this Thursday.

Lined up on the quay now are Shadow Marine, which is being used as the Showboats HQ, Alysia, Zoom Zoom Zoom, Ubiquitous, S87 (and Paladin). Elsewhere, the usuals plus Ecstasea, Ice, Sweet Doll, Annaliesse, Force Blue. The sirocco has deposited a fine layer of Saharan sand over the Principality, so there will be a fair deal of cleaning up to do before Thursday, I imagine…
