In confirmation of its excellence, Advanced Italian Yachts A66 has won the "Boat of the Year” 2010, sponsored by the Italian magazine “Vela & Motore” for the category "Interior Design", amongst the many nominations for sailing and motor boats from shipyards of absolute prestige.
The award "Boat of the Year" is an event held concurrently with the Genoa International Boat Show, dedicated to the players of the sailing world. Since the first edition in 2002 the best sailing boats, motor and sailyachts, which have sailed through the oceans of the world, have in fact rose to the podium.
The award ceremony for the 2010 edition took place on Wednesday 6th of October at the Galata Museo del Mare in Genoa, a wonderful evening which saw the participation of the elite of the international boat world.
These are the points made by the jury which proclaimed Advanced Italian Yachts A66 the winner for the interior design:
“Advanced Yachts A66 is a boat with an extremely consistent project: the interiors designed by Nauta Design are made to enhance the values expressed by the layout of the external volumes in a continuum of shapes and enjoyable spaces.The result is a strong balance between exteriors and interiors, a great contextualization between the fast-cruiser and execution types, with a naval
architecture which is in perfect harmony with the general concept. The aesthetic research is never an end in itself, but always in context with functionality, conceived in terms of ergonomics, both in navigation and in berth, and with a luxury devoted to practicality.The combination of themes related to the maritime tradition with the search for an interpretation of the volumes is skillfully achieved, resulting in ample and bright environments with a décor which prefers the light shades of dove-gray and gray. A distinctive sign is the king-size sofa, protagonist of the starboard side of the dinette, and an authentic invitation to sit back”
The prestigious award won by Advanced Yachts A66 is an important confirmation for our company which translates in a modern key and with innovative design the very high quality of the great Italian maritime tradition.

A66
THE UNMISTAKABLE ITALIAN STYLE
A new 20 meters yacht with high performance, a super yacht soul with a variety of personalised interiors. Elegance and high quality design in authentic italian style make this boat truly unique and superior.
The next generation water lines of the A66 are due to two of the best design studios in the world, Reichel & Pugh and Nauta Design.
From their collaboration came a boat which is fast and highly performative, yet stable and manageable, it provides complete control and ease of use with any type of navigation and weather.
The most innovative materials and advanced construction techniques have been employed for the A66 in order to achieve optimum results in terms of stiffness, handling and durability of the boat.
The impressive feature of the almost oversized cockpit on deck allows a perfect separation between the different areas of use, with operations concentrated in one well collected and organized area, the central living area with a table and sofas, and by the stern, the relax area with comfortable chaise longue to lie down and sunbathe.
The project concept, with an elegant semi-raised saloon, has achieved above-average roominess inside, but what immediately strikes moving below deck is the high brightness due to the glass surfaces of the deckhouse which allows a 360° view and a perfect ventilation.
The generous size of the maximum beam and the arrangement of the kitchen at the bow, has allowed the construction of 5 cabins and a dinette of 30 square meters.
Advanced Yachts philosophy is to create a unique boat for every owner; the latter will in fact be provided with a Personal Team to identify the solution that best suits his/her needs.
On Advanced boats every detail is customizable: from the number of cabins at their disposal, fittings and equipment, to the choice of wood and furniture.
