The maritime industry has reached a turning point, and CONTIGO leads the way. This groundbreaking 49.99-metre superyacht just joined Cecil Wright‘s charter fleet, bringing the world’s first fuel-cell system to luxury yachting.

Built by Italian shipyard Sanlorenzo on their 50Steel platform, CONTIGO operates with zero emissions. Guests can anchor in pristine waters for extended stays without environmental impact. The advanced green methanol fuel-cell system solves luxury yachting’s biggest challenge: maintaining exceptional standards while cutting carbon footprint.

The Floating Penthouse Revolution

CONTIGO’s “floating penthouse” concept changes everything. The owner’s suite sits on the upper deck, creating unprecedented space and privacy. More importantly, it hides the engine room below, freeing the lower deck from technical constraints.

This design breakthrough enabled something extraordinary: a full-beam ocean lounge and beach club at sea level. Direct water access transforms this space into an oceanside paradise perfect for swimming, water sports, and casual entertaining. It’s the yacht’s beating heart, where guests naturally gather.

Studio Lissoni’s Sophisticated Touch

Studio Lissoni’s interior design brings calm sophistication throughout. Natural materials, soft textures, and refined surfaces flow together, creating a residential atmosphere that’s both accessible and timeless.

Every surface contributes to serene elegance. The design extends beyond aesthetics, enhancing the charter experience through careful attention to comfort and functionality. It’s minimalist luxury done right.

Ten Guests, Perfect Privacy

Five beautifully appointed cabins accommodate up to ten guests. The master suite offers privacy alongside a study and dressing room. Additional cabins provide maximum flexibility, while a kid-friendly layout makes CONTIGO ideal for families.

Eleven professional crew members ensure impeccable service. The yacht adapts to various requirements, from multi-generational holidays to corporate retreats.

Resort-Level Amenities

The beach club and ocean lounge anchor aquatic enjoyment. A dedicated spa, sauna, and fully equipped gymnasium support wellness goals. The deck jacuzzi offers panoramic views during moments of indulgence.

Multiple indoor and outdoor spaces flow throughout CONTIGO’s decks. Guests transition effortlessly from entertaining to quiet retreat, always finding the perfect space for their mood. This reflects the same innovation we see in modern fitness and wellness technology.

Beyond Fuel Cells

CONTIGO’s environmental credentials extend well beyond her pioneering fuel-cell system. Advanced energy management, optimised hull design, and high-performance systems minimise noise, vibration, and emissions. Lightweight, environmentally conscious materials demonstrate comprehensive commitment to sustainable luxury.

This holistic approach proves environmental responsibility enhances rather than compromises luxury. CONTIGO positions herself at the industry’s sustainable forefront, much like how AI is transforming various industries with sustainable innovation.

Performance That Delivers

Built with steel hull and aluminium superstructure, CONTIGO delivers stability and impressive volume. She cruises at 12.5 knots, reaches 16 knots maximum, with approximately 4,000 nautical miles range.

These specifications suit Mediterranean cruising and longer passages. Combined with zero-emission operation, CONTIGO accesses environmentally sensitive areas traditional yachts can’t reach responsibly. Her innovative design shares similarities with automotive lighting technology evolution in pushing industry boundaries.

Adventure Arsenal

The water toy collection ensures endless entertainment. Jet skis, four F5SR SEABOBs, wakeboards, canoes, bicycles, and comprehensive snorkelling equipment cater to all ages and adventure levels.

A 55WAJER Chase Tender, supported by two additional tenders, provides swift transport throughout charter destinations. This fleet enables seamless shore excursions while maintaining sophisticated standards.

Charter Investment

CONTIGO accepts charter enquiries for the 2026 season. Weekly rates start at £355,000. This investment provides access to pioneering sustainable technology, design excellence, and world-class amenities through Cecil Wright‘s full-service programme.

Early charterers become pioneers in environmentally responsible yachting. This opportunity offers participation in a movement defining superyacht chartering’s future.

CONTIGO doesn’t just transport guests to destinations. She carries them into yachting’s future, where exceptional experiences and environmental responsibility unite. The world’s first fuel-cell superyacht proves sustainable luxury isn’t compromise , it’s evolution.
