Jay Gatsby meets James Bond in this modern, high-speed six-generation Italian iteration of an express boat. Soft lines, a teak deck, and wood trim throughout remind you that despite a GRP veneer, this is a wooden boat at heart.
Pushed by quad v12 600-horsepower Mercuries, we took a run from Miami to Key West on a picture-perfect day to match the powder-blue hull of this 52-footer, the first of the Lancia Aprea line, which is set to span 32 to 72 feet. And for those wanting a more classic look, worry not, inboard-engine options abound. Look out for more in a forthcoming feature in Power & Motoryacht.
