New Boats: Lilybaeum Yacht’s Luxurious Levanzo 25

Sept 28, 2023

New to Canada and available through Marine SCA, the recently established Lilybaeum Yacht, led by Giorgio Maggio and Vincenzo Marco Pecorella, both in their mid-twenties, are steering the company towards innovative waters with the introduction of their inaugural model – the Levanzo 25.

A Synthesis of Strength and Elegance

The Levanzo 25 blends a fisherman’s robustness with the grace and amenities of a compact yacht. With its high, flared bow, this 7.70 metres vessel promises not only a head-turning aesthetic but also a sturdy, reliable performance on the open sea. One of the standout features of this vessel is its deep “V” hull, boasting a 22-degree deadrise, designed to ensure a secure and dry journey, even when navigating through rough waters.

The full-open layout optimizes every nook and cranny of the hull, offering a luxurious and immersive marine experience. The strategic positioning of the outboard motors enhances the vessel’s functionality, paving the way for a spacious bathing platform that parallels the usability and surface area found on similarly sized units with inboard motors or stern drives.

Seamless Transition between Relaxation and Entertainment

The Levanzo 25 hosts dual sunbathing areas: the fixed rear area is complemented by a central walkway that seamlessly connects the cockpit to the bathing platform. The forward area morphs into a dining zone with the addition of an adjustable column table. The slender central console, while accommodating all necessary instrumentation, maintains generous lateral transit surfaces, making the central part of the hull easily accessible and usable.

A multi-functional unit serves as a support for the pilot’s seat, ingeniously housing a retractable sink, a cooktop, and an optional 42-liter refrigerator, blending luxury with convenience. Storage options are plentiful and strategically positioned throughout the vessel, with a notably spacious storage area beneath the rear sunbathing spot.

Tailored to Your Desires

Lilybaeum Yacht offers a commitment to personalizing each vessel to the owner’s preferences. They dedicate substantial effort and resources to meticulously select each accessory added to the already comprehensive standard equipment list, which includes features such as a T-top, cork decking, an electric anchor winch, LED lights, a shower, and much more.

With the launch of the Levanzo 25 on the horizon, Lilybaeum Yacht is already planning its next venture, the Lipari 30, currently in the design phase, promising to bring a new dimension of luxury and innovation to the maritime market.

Bennington 22 MSB

By Andy Adams

If you’ve already had firsthand experience with a pontoon, you will easily understand the appeal of the Bennington 22 MSB. But if you haven’t, let’s start by reviewing a few of the reasons why pontoon boats have become top sellers in markets across North America.

Pontoon boats began in the early 1950s as basically four steel drums lashed to a frame. They were not unlike the log rafts of ancient cultures and not much more sophisticated at first.

Destinations

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boating destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
