Drawing inspiration from the legendary Supermarine Spitfire fighter aircraft, embodying sleek design and advanced features, SPITFIRE elegantly blends aeronautical charm with maritime excellence

a yacht for today’s living

The iconic superyacht is built upon the foundation of the ARES 150 BOLD, the flagship OPV by ARES that has been awarded the ‘World’s Best Offshore Patrol Vessel’ in 2018. The foundational hull forms have undergone meticulous optimization and validation through numerical simulations, experimental testing, and comprehensive sea trials at full scale. Merging the offshore lineage of its hull with the requirements of a superyacht platform creates exciting opportunities, offering a blend of innovative design and advanced technical features.

Accommodating 18 people, Spitfire includes two double and two twin Buddy Quarters and a full beam Boss Quarters, along with 8 crew members in 5 cabins. Spitfire offers a blend of luxury, adaptability, and thoughtful design, ensuring an exceptional experience for all on board.

Spitfire features a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system designed to optimize the user experience, prioritizing low noise, emissions, and vibration. This innovative solution includes a compact and lightweight system capable of 6 hours in silent mode (without the genset running) or 1 hour of electric-only cruising. With variable-speed gensets and battery package, the yacht can achieve up to 11 hours of "silent" operation in typical Mediterranean conditions during a 24-hour period, ensuring zero noise and zero emissions while minimizing complexity and optimizing running costs.
