Light Blue Yacht Rodriquez Yachts Delivers Its First Custom 125, Light Blue.
Waterfront: Boat D’Azur

Rodriquez 125
Italy’s Rodriquez Yachts has delivered Light Blue, its first custom yacht. The all-aluminum vessel was designed by noted speed merchant Francesco Paszkowski, with interior design by Mauro Micheli. The 125-footer is part of Rodriquez Yachts’ custom 38-meter series. It is the first of a new line of 115-foot–to–230-foot vessels.

Light Blue’s stylish lines demonstrate the brand direction of Rodriquez Yachts. Within her tri-deck structure are five ensuite staterooms, crew quarters for seven, main salon and dining room, a skylounge and a galley with dinette for crew. Making use of the wide-body concept, the main-deck superstructure, forward of the foyer, is full beam, which gives a noticeable sense of spaciousness to galley and master suite. Large windows provide panoramic views from the large salon, while above, the bridge deck—with bar, grill and seating for 12—is perfect for dining alfresco.

Garages fore and aft house the vessel’s tenders and toys, and include cranes. Fiber optics light the walkways that connect the two garages. The deep-V, semi-displacement hull is capable of 25 knots on a pair of Caterpillar 3512B engines. It has a range of 850 nautical miles at its 23.5-knot cruising speed. Rodriquez is proud of limiting noise to less than 40 decibels in all guest areas.
