Vivante 73 by Jetten Shipyard

The Vivante 73 is a 22.5m fast-displacement aluminium motor yacht, currently under construction at the Jetten Shipyard in the Netherlands. Her graceful exterior lines are by Guido de Groot, as is her interior design. Construction is a coordinated effort between Vivante Yachts and the Jetten shipyard, with the latter also fitting her interior out. Her naval architecture was done by Van Oossanen.

Designed as a family yacht, but primarily aimed at experienced yacht owners; she is thoroughly practical and planned for use all year round. She features, for instance, a fully integrated sliding Bimini cover with a wrap around awning which completely encloses the aft area, allowing her to be used in colder climates and all seasons.

Her interior is both modern and inviting. She features a full beam master cabin on her lower deck along with two identical cabins planned mainly for use by children, with ample space for toys and kitted out with gaming consoles.

Thanks to her ‘Fast Displacement Hull Form’ her performance is a very respectable 27.5 knots achieved by the use of her twin Scania DI-16 engines. The Vivante 73 benefits from the use of twin gyros and an interceptor system, which greatly enhance her stability, coordinated control of trim, list and turn. The deployment of this technology and her no-nonsense design make her a very comfortable, practical and livable yacht.
