Glistening Stefania On board Dynamiq's new 41m Golden Superyacht

Forty-one meters of golden hull, glinting in the summer sunshine: Stefania is a glistening vision: a special Superyacht that symbolizes spirit, new hope in an exciting, inventive and opulent style. The work of Dynamiq, a young builder with an unusually international make-up: the head office is in Monaco; it builds in Massa, Tuscany; and it uses engineers based in the Netherlands, Stefania is the product of a team of 14 nationalities. It also brings an unorthodox approach to the conservative business of yacht-building. It’s brand-savvy, with a list of trusted partners it suggests (but don’t insist) clients use when piecing together their onboard lifestyle, from the lamps on their bedside tables (Bentley Home) to the pens on their study desks (Montegrappa). It’s playful too. Dynamiq’s website, for example, features a “configuratore” that allows you to choose every detail of your yacht, from the interior decor and general arrangement to the hull colour and water toys – and to get a price and delivery time.  

It’s fun - and future-embracing for an industry that can be oh-so traditional. 

The interior is stunning with an all-mirror wall and a modern fireplace that is all about glamour. Every detail has been thought through to fulfil a lavish concept, and work on a practical level – the Med in summer, and the colder months in the Caribbean or Asia. 

Slender with a low profile, designed to engender a feeling of closeness to the water, the exterior is plush with railings with glass inserts and aunique transparent flagstaff. A white superstructure worked with the yacht’s lines and highlights the dazzling golden hull - nothing boring like grey on this yacht. Embracing the “Modern ArtDeco” idea of the owner on a 41-metre yacht required meticulously control over the weight and strength of each component. The soft golden details found in the interior were in one calming tone throughout – from Dornbracht accessories to towel holders, mirror frames and custom Serdaneli door handles - to compliment the white sleek lines and interior tone of beige.Working with designers from Fendi Casa and interior suppliers to find the same tone of beige in lacquered wood panels, suede, velour and marbles, the resulting palette is perfection. Each metal insert has been treated by the same galvanizing technique to have the same finish – champagne, or soft gold. Crystal chandeliers and wall lamps were supplied by Italian brand Il Normanno and soft gold bath fittings are by Dornbracht. 

The neutral scheme are accented by touches of serene, oceanic blue in loose furniture and cushions, a shade that brings the colors of the sea from the exterior, inside. The owner’s cabin and en suite are full beam and positioned aft on the lower deck.

Stefania houses five voluminous cabins with room for generous head heights of 2.2 meters on all decks and a 4.5-tonne, 10-guest swimming pool on the main aft deck – comparable to the proportions you might expect to find on a 60-metre. At the request of the owner, great effort was invested in soundproofing throughout.  

That aft deck pool is accompanied by a round of aft-facing seating, creating an outward-looking, self-contained space rather than a stop-off before heading inside. Up top on the 120-square-metre sundeck is a spa pool, a bar with a huge television, a shaded dining table and sun pads. It’s an appealing combination of al fresco spaces. 

Stefania took two and a half years to construct using more than 300 people and 200,000 hours of labor.
