    Fabio Peduzzi

    Young Designer 2025

    REV CURIOSITY is an 80-metre yacht developed for research and exploration. My idea was to start with the owner: if he decides to commission such a boat, it means that his desire to explore – and indeed his curiosity – is a strong personal drive. The yacht must reflect this. I consider REV CURIOSITY a floating box: she must be able to open and close, and have distinctive areas that have unique functions, depending on the interests and curiosities of the owner and their guests. The yacht has seven cabins, including a large owner’s area, with a private lounge, private sauna, bathroom, and study area. Since the yacht is designed for long crossings, she has very generous accommodation and facilities for her 25 crew. An 80-square-metre laboratory for marine conservation research is also on board. There is also a 36- square-metre diving centre, a large garage to stow several tenders, a dedicated exploration car, and two submersibles. A 16-metre exploration tender – capable of at least two days’ autonomous cruising – is stored and launched from a stern ramp. Heli-operations are also possible, with a certified pad and a retractable hangar. In addition, the vessel includes all the classic amenities of a mega yacht: a gym, cinema, wellness area, and observation deck.

    Meet Fabio Peduzzi

    What drew you to yacht design?
    I grew up by the sea, in Olbia, Sardinia. So, the relationship with the sea and boats has never been lacking. I approached yacht design thanks to my creative and curious parents, who both advised me, given my natural disposition for drawing, to approach this world that mixes creativity with technique, technology and innovation.

    Which designers inspire your craft?
    There are so many figures that I have studied and taken as references, to name a few: Jon Bannenberg, Terence Disdale, Tim Haywood, Andrew Winch, Espen Øeino, Carlo Nuvolari, Dan Lenard, Giovanni Zuccon, Piero Lissoni, etc. I remember the first time I passed by the 142m NORD, in the harbour at Porto Cervo Marina, with a small tender: such an unforgettable experience!

    How would you like to see yacht design evolve?
    I would like to see a shift from the concept of unbridled and almost unnecessary luxury that stereotypes the world of yacht design. I would be curious to see a return to simpler things, a focus on contact with the water, and also experimentation with the use of yachts in new ways, through perhaps asymmetries, half-decks, new volumes and new consequent distributions.
