Overview
A flagship that looks fastest standing still.
Notte was commissioned as a statement yacht for evening arrivals — a 44-metre full design where dark glass bands, a near-vertical bow and a sculpted stern read as one continuous gesture. Below the theatre sits a thoroughly practical ship: six cabins, crew-forward operations and a full-beam beach club.
The defining move is the glasswork. We ran the main-deck glazing as a single unbroken band from stem to transom, which demanded close coordination with the structural engineers from week one — style and scantlings developed together, never in sequence.
Challenge
Drama that still passes class.
Unbroken glass and a plumb bow complicate structure, visibility rules and spray control. We resolved all three in the concept model — mullion positions, bow flare and chine geometry — before the exterior was ever rendered.
Approach
One surface, many owners.
Stylist, naval architect and interior team worked on a single master model with weekly clash reviews. When the beach club grew by half a metre, the engine room, tanks and stairs rebalanced the same day — not three months later.

Deliverables
What the shipyard received.
- —Exterior styling and full general arrangement
- —Beach club and exterior furniture detailing
- —Class-ready NURBS hull and superstructure
- —Cinematic launch film and image set
- —Owner walkthroughs at every milestone
Outcome
Sold before launch.
The launch imagery we produced for the shipyard secured a buyer six months before delivery — the renders matched the finished yacht closely enough that the sales team used them dockside. Notte now charters in the western Mediterranean.
