With both interiors and exteriors designed by Nuvolari Lenard, Amor à Vida marks the ninth yacht born from the long-standing collaboration between the studio and the prestigious Italian shipyard CRN – Ferretti Group.
Amor à Vida is a fully bespoke 67-metre yacht, developed in close synergy with an experienced and passionate owner: a project that translates personal vision and refined taste into a truly tailor-made yacht.
The brokerage house Moran Yacht & Ship played a pivotal role as the owner’s representative, coordinating project management activities and ensuring constant supervision throughout every phase of construction.
“Designing a yacht with a client who knows what to ask for, knows how to listen, and trusts our genuine desire to create a design that is both aesthetically beautiful and perfectly functional to his needs is an ideal situation,” says Carlo Nuvolari.
Amor à Vida is a yacht of remarkable architectural substance: generous interior volumes are enclosed within a sleek profile that conveys both dynamism and visual lightness. Her distinctive value lies in the balance of proportions and the absolute harmony between interiors and exteriors — a unique design statement where architecture, volumes and detailing converse with natural coherence.
It is within this equilibrium that Nuvolari Lenard’s design mastery fully emerges: uninterrupted lines flow clean and essential — an authentic expression of a deeply Italian sensibility. Nothing is superfluous; every element is carefully calibrated to reinforce consistency and proportion.
“An aesthetically harmonious exterior style always stems from an impeccable layout,” continues Carlo Nuvolari. “Fluid circulation on board, a clear separation between guest and crew areas, seamless integration of the owner’s specific needs, maximum operational efficiency, and generous storage spaces.”
The layout precisely reflects the owner’s vision: experiencing the sea in every season, prioritising absolute comfort and discretion. The outdoor areas are conceived as natural extensions of the living spaces — protected, versatile environments. The spacious cockpits transform into authentic open-air lounges, sheltered from sun, wind and prying eyes. A contemporary interpretation of life on board, where formal elegance and the quality of the experience perfectly converge.
Among the most scenographic features is the aft pool with a glass bottom, where natural light filters through the water to illuminate the beach club below, creating a captivating interplay of reflections.
Equally striking is the “crow’s nest”, the observation deck positioned at the highest point of the yacht — a intimate retreat designed for absolute privacy and quiet contemplation of the surrounding panorama.
Developed in collaboration with Valentina Zannier, at that time Art Director of the interior, the spaces reflect a coherent and fluid dialogue between inside and outside spaces. The formal dining room opens onto the aft deck, while the full-height side windows in the main salon can be completely opened, amplifying both visual and sensory continuity and enhancing the perception of a single, expansive open-air environment. The owner’s suite opens onto the vast flush foredeck — a pure, uninterrupted surface that offers commanding views and lends the yacht a distinctive architectural momentum.
Each space expresses balance, warmth and naturalness, evoking the atmosphere of a refined private residence overlooking the sea.
On board Amor à Vida, material becomes atmosphere. The protagonist wood is Sycamore Frisé, a light-toned essence whose distinctive cut enhances the grain with a refined three-dimensional effect, bringing depth and subtle dynamism to the surfaces. Teak introduces a warmer, distinctly maritime note. Numerous brass details add precious yet measured accents, while suede-clad ceilings heighten the tactile dimension of the interiors. Comfort is further enhanced by warm-toned wooden flooring, paired with bespoke carpets in nuanced shades of the sea, harmonised with the other fabrics selected throughout the yacht. In the bathrooms, naturally expressive marbles have been laid according to a precise design, without excess, to exalt their authentic beauty — including onyx, travertine and Taj Mahal.
Many of the furnishings have been custom-designed: rounded forms prevail, enhancing the excellence of the craftsmanship and contributing to a fluid, welcoming atmosphere. These are complemented by pieces from the finest Italian design brands, selected with balance and stylistic coherence.
“Overall, the interiors express a quiet tranquillity: very light colours, airy proportions and a skilful use of natural light filtering through the expansive windows. The richness of the ensemble is nonetheless evident in the quality of the precious materials, the complexity of the design and the excellence of the finishes executed by the shipyard, achieving a perfect balance between refinement and bespoke,” concludes Dan Lenard.
