PRESENTING JO I

Benetti luxury motor yacht JO I is a design and build to high standards. She is a sleek, modern superyacht. This megayacht features a classic interior and spacious decks. She features a wide range of activities.  in addition, she has a professional crew. All make up the perfect environment for relaxation and entertaining during a charter.

ARCHITECTURE

Motor yacht JO I has a beautiful dark blue hull. She boasts naval architecture from Italy’s most famous builder, Benetti.  Her exterior style is by Stefano Natucci.  The interior is a François Zuretti concept. The concept is per the owner’s family style.  The decorative theme is colonial. She has painted cherry wood joinery.

Luxury charter yacht JO offers spacious reception areas and decks. These are for ease, comfort, and stylish entertaining at sea or in port.

ACCOMMODATIONS

This superyacht is designed to fit perfectly with the requirements of charter use, easily accommodating up to 12 guests in 6 cabins – the owner’s suite, 2 double cabins and 2 twin cabins (with Pullman berths), and a ‘multipurpose’ cabin.

OWNER SUITE

The owner’s bedroom extends across the yacht’s full beam with a king-sized bed positioned in the center. As in the main saloon, the satin-finished cherry wood is set off with light-colored fabrics. Scatter cushions in rich silks finish off the decor.

A small adjacent saloon is furnished with a minibar, a desk, and a plasma television screen, with two armchairs and a coffee table. This area is useful as a private study to keep in contact with a business, or as a private sitting room.

The vast bathroom in the owner’s suite is a lavishly decorated oasis of marble and wood. There is a centrally-located spa with a large, deep bathtub and a shower cubicle as well.

FORMAL DINING SALON

The formal dining room and the lounge form a single saloon area on the main deck of the megayacht. Large side windows allow light to flood into this room in the daytime and afford a great view of the sea. A 42-inch pop-up plasma screen has DVD, satellite, and karaoke.

When the double doors of the saloon are slid back, the feeling of space is even greater, as the aft deck becomes a continuation of the saloon. For those moonlit evenings during a Caribbean yacht charter, guests can relax on the aft deck with cocktails before dinner or enjoy coffee and liqueurs afterward.

There are four guest staterooms amidships on the lower deck.  All bedrooms feature a predominance of satin cherry wood. Conversely, each features an individually themed décor. In specific,  with delicious fabrics in an exuberant mix of colors.  Throws and scatter cushions exist from famous design houses. For instance, Burberry, Ralph Lauren, Versace, and Mulberry.

The lounge has a bar area. It is for serving drinks. There is a traditional jukebox for playing favorite records.  The main feature of this room is a central wraparound sofa. It faces the plasma television screen between the glass entrance doors.  This gives the impression of a private cinema.  However, when the doors are open, there is a large alfresco dining area. Further protected by the overhang of the sundeck. An oval table takes center stage with its seating for 12.

The mega yacht features a sun deck with a vast sunbathing area perfect for enjoying the sea and surroundings in complete relaxation. This is a favorite sunning area for Croatia yacht charters as well as any Mediterranean luxury yacht charters.

The sundeck area offers a large Jacuzzi and wet bar.

Rendering of the planned Aman at Sea Sinot design and T. Mariotti build luxury superyacht will have ... [+] 50 suites with private balconies, several restaurants, a Japanese garden, Aman Spa, and the impeccable brand of service that Aman resorts are known for.

Known for the tranquil escapes offered by its luxurious sanctuaries, Aman will be welcoming guests on board the Aman at Sea 50-suite motor yacht, expected to begin itineraries in 2027.

Upon signing a joint venture contract with Cruise Saudi's Managing Director, Mr Fawaz Farooqui, and a ship building contract with Italian shipbuilder T. Mariotti S.p.A at the end of 2023, the Aman luxury motor yacht build is designed to deliver the ultimate luxury cruise experience.

Aman Chairman and CEO Vlad Doronin commented, “With 35 hotels, resorts, and branded residences across 20 destinations, Aman at Sea marks a new direction for the brand and the chance to bring Aman’s exceptional design, which is integral to the brand’s ethos, into an entirely new setting.” Additional remarks addressed the significance of the contract as an exciting milestone in Aman’s partnership with T. Mariotti.

A Zen-inspired Japanese garden will be part of the allure on the Aman at Sea build currently in the ... [+] works at Italy's T. Mariotti shipyard. The yacht is expected to set sail with a 2027 itinerary.

Financing and Overseeing The Build

Financing granted by a pool led by Intesa Sanpaolo and coordinated by Nanni Grazzini has been arranged. A sponsor of the Made in Italy campaign and an industrial powerhouse in business since 1928, Mariotti is a strong contributor to the growth of the city of Genoa, a center of maritime business.

Jonathon Wilson has been selected to lead the development and implementation of the yacht with the title of Chief Executive Officer of Aman at Sea. Wilson is expected to work closely with Doronin to ensure appropriate brand connection.

Aman at Sea's 600-foot yacht penned by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design is scheduled to notch up ... [+] the level of luxury with details the brand considers essential. Space, beauty, and comfort, along with an elevated level of service, will attend to every guest.

The yacht will be fitted with 50 spacious luxury suites graced with private balconies. Several dining options will be available to guests, including an informal all-day restaurant, international fine dining options, and a relaxed club and lounge. The Aman Spa will reflect the serenity and space of their resorts. An expansive beach club, two helipads, and a Japanese garden continue to emphasize the brand's Zen-inspired properties on board.

Superyacht master designer SINOT Yacht Architecture & Design , luxury yacht outfitter De Wave Group , and electrotech expert Ortec Santamaria will contribute respective details to the Aman at Sea yacht.

Laying The Keel

In July, 2024, the Aman at Sea ceremonial keel laying was held at the T. Mariotti San Giorgio di Nogaro, Italy shipyard. Wilson was joined by Marco Ghiglione, CEO of T. Mariotti, to watch the 200-ton steel block as it was lowered into place. As per tradition, newly minted coins were placed on the steel, ensuring good luck for the vessel’s future.

Ghiglione announced, “Laying the keel of the world’s most luxurious yacht brings to life the ambitions design our team has produced with their efforts so far.”
