50m Mystere Shadow Exterior Refit: Pastrovich Studio Interior Refit: Pastrovich Studio Shipyard: Monaco MarinePhotographer: Toni Meneguzzo Transformer was one of the key words during the first meeting with the owner of Mystere Shadow. This word defines the scope of the design, that is to create a Yacht capable of changing its function and appearance while satisfying different purposes. …Read More The mutation of the yacht was one of the most relevant aspects which drove all the choices concerning the design. Mystere is meant to store a large number of tenders during navigation, and to be a floating fun island during days and nights at anchor. It can be considered a beach club, a resort on the sea, a disco on the water, an island or simply a place where friends and family can relax.

The owner’s briefing was clear and intense. A pencil became an uncontaminated power, drawing what the owner wanted. A few concepts were sketched out during the first week of intense work putting on paper all the dreams and ideas. Nine months later the new Mystere was delivered. This is what happened during the refit process of the 50m Mystere Shadow vessel carried out between winter-spring 2010-2011. A sketch of the Spa, made by marble and stone.
