SAGASU: A CLOSER LOOK AT THE 48M HYDRO TEC SUPERYACHT CONCEPT

Italy-based design house Hydro Tec has unveiled further details and images about the 48-metre superyacht concept Sagasu.

First announced in January 2024, Sagasu’s name originates from the Japanese word which evokes the search for something necessary and desired. She offers the volumes and functionalities of larger yachts, while remaining below the 500 GT limit.

Sagasu marks the first result of Hydro Tec's recent collaboration with Adam Blackmore, co-founder of their new strategic partner for the APAC (Asia Pacific) regions, Iseo Yachting and has been carefully developed with hints of Asian tones.

“The research in this project has focused on the precise execution and study of its details, giving life to a yacht that offers remarkable flexibility in the use of spaces, both indoors and outdoors,” explained Hydro Tec.

“Designed and conceived for family vacations, gatherings with friends, or charter purposes, Sagasu also offers precious and discreet private spaces, allowing the owner to enjoy moments of tranquillity and relaxation without interfering with other guests onboard.”

Characterised by elegant and sinuous lines, Sagasu features classical and traditional traits, harmoniously blended with elements of robustness and modernity. A distinctive feature of Sagasu is the design of her flush hull windows, which create a suspended central island wrapped in glass.

Sagasu has been configured with four different layouts offering extraordinary flexibility in terms of length and volume, with numerous customisation possibilities based on the owner’s preferences.

“The owner's deck not only hosts a private lounge area aft, but also a vast private terrace of over 70 square-metres, designed to be enjoyed both day and night. In the latter circumstance, this private alcove is enhanced by a central fireplace that accentuates the atmosphere and draws the gaze towards the private Jacuzzi.”

Sagasu’s two tenders are comfortably housed in the garage area, allowing guests to enjoy the outdoor areas even when the yacht is in port. Her spacious beach club features folding terraces extending over the sea, with an infinity pool at the centre, surrounded by plenty of space for sunbathing and seating.
