New Boats: Lilybaeum Yacht’s Luxurious Levanzo 25

Sept 28, 2023

Lilybaeum Yacht’s Luxurious Levanzo 25

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.

New Boats: Beneteau Oceanis 34.1 – A Sleek, Good -Looking Delight To Sail

By Katherine Stone

There is nothing more that I enjoy than being with friends and messing about in boats. Messing about in brand-new boats on a champagne sailing day on Lake Ontario at the beginning of the summer doesn’t get any better. To have the new owner, Helmuth Strobel and Anchor Yachts dealer Pancho Jimenez aboard made it even more special, as they can also speak to what they truly enjoy about the boat. We keep our own boat in a harbour that has a long waiting list for boats over 35 feet, so this little gem would definitely fit the bill and feels like a much bigger boat. True to the spirit of the 7th generation Oceanis line, the 34.1 is built in Poland and replaces the 35.1. It is 1,000 lbs lighter, 14 cm narrower and has 29% more sail area.
