AZTECA Yacht – Extraordinary $80M Superyacht

CRN’s naval architects worked with Ferretti Group’s Advanced Yacht Technology department and Venice-based Nuvolari Lenard design to build a boat that is modern, elegant, and perfect for family life at sea.

Delivered in 2010, AZTECA is an impressive 72m yacht designed for a comfortable yet elegant onboard experience.

The original owner who commissioned the AZTECA, Francisco Hernando, was very involved in the design elements of the yacht.

AZTECA yacht interior

Nuvolari Lenard’s Valentina Zannier designed the interior of the AZTECA yacht which includes warm and sober tones from cream to dark brown and features walnut, glossy rosewood, and mahogany.

The yacht has accommodation for 16 guests in 8 cabins and cabins to house 28 crew members.

The crew members also have a crew mess and gym on the tank deck. There is a sky lounge, a separate cinema room, a spa, and a hair salon.

She also has an expansive sundeck full of amenities for entertaining in the indoor/outdoor space.

Francisco Hernando, the original owner, was intimately involved in the vessel’s design to create a guest experience close to the water.

The beach club is impressively sized and opens with a massive transom door that creates an indoor/outdoor area with a bar and salon.

The tender garage is filled with water toys like jet skis and a low-profile tender. The yacht features extensive pantry options, making it an excellent vessel for entertaining.

The entertainment features of the AZTECA yacht were one of the many reasons that Pliego bought the $80 Million Superyacht.

Her exterior exudes elegance and power with a streamlined gray-painted steel hull and light cream-colored aluminum superstructure. She has teak decking and consists of 4 decks.

The exterior was designed by Nuvolari Lenard and built by CRN yachts in 2010. Azteca is the largest boat built by CRN at the time of her launch. 

Specifications

AZTECA has a gross tonnage of 1891 tons and is powered by Caterpillar engines . The yacht reaches a top speed of 17kn and a cruising speed of 15kn and has a range of 6000 nautical miles.

AZTECA has a length of 72m, with a beam of 13.5m and a draft of 3.5m. She has a Lloyd’s Classification and an annual running cost of $5 – $8 Million.

American St. Petersburg

Like the United States, St. Petersburg was founded in the 18th century, and like the Unites States, St. Petersburg was built and populated by immigrants from all across Europe. And yet, while rooted in European culture and essentially European in character, both Russia and the United States retained an uneasy and ambiguous relationship with the Old World, by turns embracing their position in Western Civilization and rejecting its perceived decadence in favour of a more primitive, homegrown culture.

While politically they were, at least in theory, poles apart, diplomatically the young United States and the Imperial Court in St. Petersburg retained almost unbroken excellent relations. Russia was the first major power to recognize the new country after the Declaration of Independence in 1776 (the favour would be returned in 1917, when the USA was the first country to recognize the legitimacy of the Provisional Government in St. Petersburg), and among the US Ministers to Russia, ambassadors to St. Petersburg during the 19th century, were two future presidents, John Quincy Adams and James Buchanan, and many other prominent statesmen.

After the October Revolution, many important Petersburg emigres eventually made their way to the United States, among the most famous being Sergei Rachmaninoff, Igor Stravinsky and Vladimir Nabokov. Half a century later, they were followed by a fresh wave of talented dissidents and defectors, including the Petersburg writers Joseph Brodsky and Sergey Dovlatov.

A new life in the USA remained a dream for many Russians right through the 1990s, and one that became a reality for thousands of artists, scientists, engineers and computer programmers from St. Petersburg. At the same time, the influence of American youth culture, repressed for so long by the Soviet authorities, was at its height. The arrival of burgers, Levis jeans, Coca-Cola and MTV were for the majority the most tangible aspects of the new-found freedoms that the collapse of the Soviet Union introduced. A local, specifically Petersburgian, expression of this love for all things American was the explosion in popularity of traditional rock 'n roll and rockabilly, which dominated the city's live music scene in the mid to late nineties.

While enthusiasm for the American way of life may have cooled over the last decade, just as a certain level of political antagonism has returned to relationships between the two countries, cultural ties remain vital to many of St. Petersburg's greatest institutions - the Hermitage with the Guggenheim Museum and the Mariinsky Theatre with the Metropolitan Opera House. The cultural wealth shared by St. Petersburg and the USA and the large number of American citizens with recent roots in the city mean that private relations between Petersburgers and Americans are stronger than ever.
