A notable team reprises its successful collaboration to produce Mondomarine’s latest custom tri-deck.

Waterfront: 40-Meter Favoloso

Article Specs Design
Mondomarine 131
A semi-displacement tri-deck built entirely of aluminum, Mondomarine’s 40-meter (131-foot) Fabri’s falls in the middle of the company’s 31- to 50-meter range of custom motor yachts. She is similar in design and performance to Blue Belle, which launched in 2003, and for good reason. The same team created both: Cor D. Rover for the exterior styling, Sydac for the naval architecture and Luca Dini for the interior design. Fabri’s is fully MCA compliant and RINA classified as 100 A1.1 Y.

Her interior décor is soberly refined, and the cherry-and-burl joinery is traditional without being heavy. The main lounge and dining room set the tone for the rest of the yacht with Bordeaux soft furnishings, cream leather chairs and matching carpet. Crenellated detailing on the cabinets and ebony inlay in the coffee and dining tables provide highlights. Four large windows on either side provide ample light, and 10 guests can comfortably sit around the semi-circular sofa. (Click image to enlarge)

The owner’s suite forward on the main deck has eight windows and takes full advantage of the yacht’s 8.4-meter beam. The his-and-hers bathroom has Portuguese rose marble-topped surfaces and cherry parquet flooring—the same as all the bathrooms, including those for crew. Belowdecks, two VIP suites feature elegant, padded silk wall panels in shades of green and cream. There are also identical twin single guest rooms.

The main, upper and top decks all offer spaces for alfresco dining. A dumbwaiter travels between the professional Schiffini galley and the fly deck, where the bar and dining areas are protected by the roll bar.
