Pastrovich Studio gives a glimpse into a fascinating tomorrow with its launch of a unique ‘yacht family’ concept, the X-Shinobi. Steered by the visionary Stefano Pastrovich, the Monegasque design firm brings together four futuristic yachts ranging between 60 to 190 metres, each crafted with meticulous attention to detail, aesthetics, and practical functionality.
Reinventing the traditional superyacht design, the X-Shinobi fleet swaps the typical ‘wedding cake’ profile for a contemporary look. The new design approaches innovation with an open embrace, embodying a harmonious blend of painted surfaces, extensive glazing, and architectural detailing. The end result is an elegant conversation between indoor and outdoor spaces, defined by floor-to-ceiling glazing.
The Caribbean was etched together by sail, many eons before the buzz of motorboats and aircrafts became the norm. The islands traded resources and narratives back and forth through the means of sailing crafts, their versions as unique and as characteristic as the islands themselves. The industrious sloops were vital components to island communication, effectively carrying people, goods, building materials, and stories from shore to shore. Among these deeply rooted traditions are the distinct Carriacou sloops, descendants of their tri-island namesake: the state of Grenada, comprising of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique.
