Picture this: Monaco, the glitzy playground of billionaires and dreamers. Flashbulbs, champagne on ice, a splash of yellow that could blind the unsuspecting. Just a few weeks after its brash debut at the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show, the very first Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT has already found its rightful — and rather mysterious — owner. And with that, the world of high-end yachting just got a lot more… Lamborghini. Buckle up (or batten down the hatches), luxury seekers: this isn’t just a superboat, it’s an Italo-nautical event.
When Italian Design and Nautical Power Collide
- First Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT sold to anonymous millionaire
- World premiere at Monaco Yacht Show 2025
- Collaboration between Lamborghini and The Italian Sea Group
- Predecessor: already famous Lamborghini 63
Giacomo Sorlino, yacht broker at Banchero Costa Network, couldn’t wait to spill the beans on LinkedIn: he is « delighted to announce the sale of one of the first 101FT units. » It’s official — this floating marvel at the intersection of Italian design and maritime muscle didn’t have to wait long to find a well-heeled home. The world first glimpsed this prestige yacht—a product of Lamborghini teaming up with the Italian Sea Group—at its late September unveiling. The crowd’s collective jaw dropped.
Specs That Shout…and a Yellow That Screams
Let’s get to the heart (or engine block) of the matter. The Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT measures roughly 30 meters (that’s 101 feet for those not using the metric system in their bath tubs), and its propulsion is as formidable as its looks. Beneath the sculpted decks:
- Three German-manufactured MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines, each delivering 2,600 horsepower
- Aggregate declared output: 7,600 HP (for those itching for a calculator, let’s just say nautical math bends to its own rules — losses, synchronizations, technical constraints and all that jazz)
- Top speed: 45 knots (over 80 km/h)
- Three propellers, two 35 kW generators feeding vital onboard systems
The hull? Razor-sharp, bristling lines, inspired by the Lamborghini Fenomeno. Dressed in a high-voltage yellow dubbed Giallo Crius, with a lighting signature that unmistakably winks at the supercars rolling out from Sant’Agata Bolognese. Inside, Lamborghini’s trademark Y and hexagon motifs abound, supercar steering wheel, and a starter button straight out of the Aventador playbook. Unsurprisingly, clients can tweak every detail to a fine (Italian) art, courtesy of a customization program inspired by Ad Personam.
More Than Just Speed: Luxury Meets Exclusivity
Unlike its predecessor, the Tecnomar 63, a speed-centric beast, the 101FT strikes a balance — blending performance with opulent comfort. This is no bare-bones rocket; nine guests can luxuriate in upscale suites, serviced by three crew cabins. Every unit is built on demand, ensuring total exclusivity. The October sale signals more than a simple delivery: it’s Lamborghini confidently setting a new course beyond pavement.
As one project lead put it, « With the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT, we transpose Lamborghini DNA to the sea: performance, design and innovation come together in a yacht that redefines the concept of nautical luxury. »
Under the Hood: Engines, Expectations, and Debate
It wouldn’t be a Lamborghini launch without a little controversy in the details. While some armchair mathematicians have pointed out that three 2,600 HP engines do not mathematically add up to 7,600 HP, the given cumulative power figure takes into account realistic mechanical losses, power management, and technical constraints. Simple math? Not quite. Real-world engineering is a stickier (and less photogenic) beast.
There’s also the not-so-small fact that the engines are German-made MTU diesels, not Lamborghini’s own, and that the hull, interior, and much of the design come from specialized yacht builders and studios. Critics point out that Lamborghini’s role is mostly design and branding — but can you blame anyone for wanting a raging bull on their gangplank? After all, slick marketing and sharp style do the job — and make buyers very, very happy.
And to those who sniff at the 45 knots as less than mind-blowing, fans remind us that the real trick here is the blend of speed, luxury, and exclusivity. It might not outrun every Pershing on the water, but it certainly outruns boredom.
Conclusion: Setting Sail Into a New Lamborghini Era
This first sale may just be the beginning: Lamborghini is already toying with the idea of hybrid versions for its future boats. For us mere mortals, it’s likely a daydream on waves, but for Italy — and Italian industry — it’s a national badge worn with pride. Raise a glass to masterful design, marine performance, and the very human joy of daring to do what’s never been done before. Now, who’s got a spare superyacht berth in Monaco?
