Utopia IV

Utopia IV draws only 2.2 metres, very little for a 63-metre yacht, and that single figure explains her programme. In the Bahamas, where the banks are shallow and the best anchorages lie close to the sand, she can tuck into coves that deeper hulls have to admire from outside. Rossinavi built her in aluminium in 2018 on a fast semi-displacement hull, she won a World Superyacht Award in 2019, and she has seen little charter use since delivery.

The stern is where she earns her keep. With the transom folded down, the beach club opens onto a platform of about 230 square metres with its own bar, and daylight filters in through the glass bottom of the main-deck pool above it. From there the crew launch the jet surfboard, the slide, the sea pool and the inflatable dock. Higher up, the bridge deck aft seats everyone for dinner and becomes an open-air cinema afterwards, while the sundeck keeps loungers and a barbecue.

Indoors, Enrico Gobbi's Team for Design kept the palette calm: neutral tones, a few turquoise touches, low furniture and full-height glass that floods the main saloon with light. The skylounge works for films or board games and opens onto a playroom for children, which makes her an easy fit for young families. The master suite faces forward and has its own balcony and Jacuzzi.

She is based in American waters, with New England in summer and Florida and the Bahamas in winter, so she is not an option for a Mediterranean holiday. Groups who prefer the hush of a displacement yacht on long passages, or a traditional wood-panelled interior, will be happier elsewhere. For a family that wants speed, access to shallow anchorages and water toys run straight off a broad swim platform, she is one of the clearest choices on that side of the Atlantic.
