Reborn: A Perini Navi icon ready for her next adventure on the high seas
St Julian’s Maritime Finance is Europe’s leading yacht leasing company, offering tailored long term financial and operational yacht leasing solutions to yacht owners. We support both new-build and pre-owned yachts, whether for private enjoyment or commercial operation and we also provide construction finance and fund major refits for the yachts we finance.
One of our proudest projects has been the operating lease for Belle Brise, a 48-metre Perini Navi built in 1993, which we acquired in 2023. Following our approval of her full rebuild, she is now in the final stages of completion at the Benetti-owned Lusben Shipyard in Livorno.
Scheduled for delivery this November Bella Brise will be delivered “reborn” in November, with a one-year full warranty, and prepared to operate reliably for at least the next ten years with only standard maintenance required.
Unlike a traditional restoration focused solely on preservation, our vision for Belle Brise has been to modernise her systems and comfort while retaining her timeless Perini Navi heritage.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF THE REBUILD
Engineering & Systems: Hull, bilges, engine room and pump room fully sandblasted, repainted and re-engineered in 3D. Equipped with new MAN 588 kW (800 hp) engines with urea-SCR technology and new generators, ensuring efficiency, performance and emissions compliance.
Rigging & Deck: Aluminum masts and in- furling system overhauled. New rod rigging by BSI, running rigging by Soluzioni Tessili, and upgraded furlers by Bamar. Teak decks entirely re-laid (18–20 mm). New spreaders by Rondal with integrated Starlink high- speed connectivity.
Navigation & Technology: State-of-the-art Furuno digital navigation suite with ECDIS, new Anschutz gyrocompass, and Cantalupi monitoring system repeated across multiple stations.
Interior: Original mahogany joinery and marble finishes restored, complemented by refreshed textiles for a contemporary, yet classic atmosphere. Galley fully rebuilt with commercial-grade appliances and a walk-in cold store.
Lighting & Electrical: New cabling and energy- efficient LED lighting installed by Cantalupi.
A YACHT REBORN
The result is a yacht that combines classic elegance with modern functionality, fully commercially coded and compliant with the latest regulations of ABS and Malta Flag. The She is ready to offer her future lessee a unique blend of heritage, performance, and reliability.
