Superyacht fans are in for a special treat with the Australian arrival of the multi-million-dollar Italian masterpiece, Pazienza — awarded ‘World’s Best Explorer Yacht’ at the World Superyacht Awards in this month.

The glamorous 35-metre vessel will be on show May 22 – 25 at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS), courtesy of world leading long-range yacht builder, Cantiere delle Marche. Pazienza was sold to its current Australian owner during SCIBS 2021, the buyer being introduced by fellow exhibitor Yachtsmen International.

Designed by Italian master craftsman Francesco Paszkowski, the Pazienza embodies elegance and engineering excellence, with sleek curves, expansive windows, and a sun deck reminiscent of a penthouse on the sea. Pazienza has recently won the Displacement Motor Yachts – 499GT and below, 30m to 34.9m and 40m to 45.9 category at the World Superyacht Awards in Venice.

Says Paul Miletta, Regional Director Australia & New Zealand for Cantiere delle Marche:

“We are so excited to have M/Y Pazienza on display at SCIBS, with Australian demand for this type of luxury vessel being strong. It is our first new boat that has arrived in Australia, with others in build for Australian clients.”

Mr Miletta said the Pazienza is a “True Explorer” vessel, over engineered for exceptional performance and encompassing luxury Italian finishes. “With a comfortable range of 7,000 nautical miles, it is possible to comfortably explore the magnificent waterways the South Pacific has to offer,” he added.

Corey Rattray-Wood, Head of Events at Mulpha Events, says: “We’re thrilled to bring a touch of Italian flair and prestige to Sanctuary Cove and delighted that SCIBS has been chosen as the event for his Australian debut,” he said. “With over 45,000 visitors expected, this year’s show promises to be our biggest and most luxurious yet and the Pazienza is sure to be a star attraction.”

SCIBS returns in spectacular style for its 36th year, including a long list of global, Asia-Pacific and Australia product launches, a world-class showcase that fuses marine innovation, high-end lifestyle, and unforgettable glamour.
