Carbon Yachts has been appointed the Australia and New Zealand distributor for Santasevera Yachts, introducing the Italian dayboat and weekender brand to a market increasingly drawn to design-led vessels with generous entertaining space, refined finishes, and practical layouts.
Co-founded by naval architect Francesco Guida, Santasevera offers a fresh Italian take on the luxury dayboat: a sharp contemporary hull paired with a lobster boat–inspired profile, creating a distinctive balance of style, usability, and presence.
Carbon Yachts first encountered the brand at Boot Düsseldorf 2025, where its clarity of design stood out. Rather than focusing on individual features, Santasevera is designed around the full experience of a day on the water, from swimming and entertaining to relaxed cruising and the run home.
The boats combine strong visual presence with highly usable layouts, including expansive aft entertaining areas, covered dining and lounging, and a natural flow between spaces.
The concept aligns closely with Australian and Kiwi usage, where boating centres on long, social days. Santasevera prioritises open yet protected spaces, flexible zones and seamless connection to the water, supporting entertaining, relaxation and overnight stays without compromising comfort.
Guida’s approach, inspired by traditional Neapolitan lobster boats, focuses on proportion, movement, and deck usability rather than excess. The result is a range that feels refined, elegant, and genuinely practical.
Carbon Yachts will launch with the Santasevera 42 and 52, priced from AUD $1.85 million and AUD $3.65 million respectively, with propulsion options including IPS, sterndrive, and outboard power.
The 52 sits at the centre of the brand’s appeal, prioritising main deck living with a large aft entertaining area, strong water connection and flexible accommodation for occasional overnight use.
