QUINTA ESSENTIA

In ancient times the Greeks believed that all matter beneath the moon was made of varying combinations of four elements: Earth, Water, Fire and Air. Above the moon, matter was made up of a substance they called the 5th essence. In Latin, this is Quinta Essentia.This fifth essence or element was believed to cure all illness, extend life, and turn base metals into gold. How to combine the four elements to make the Fifth was the dilemma of alchemy. We are all striving to find that perfect balance of all the aspects of our life in order to achieve optimum well being. Much like alchemy – health does not just boil down to one “element”. It is necessary to achieve a balance between many aspects (diet, exercise, stress management, happiness and other lifestyle choices) in order for us to find our Quinta Essentia.The four elements are continually present in the yacht: four staterooms, four entertainment decks and four engines (two diesel and two electric). The fifth element is the yacht itself and brings the four elements together, offering health and wellness to its guests.QUINTA ESSENTIA has a smart layout where all space on board is optimised. QUINTA ESSENTIA has a volume of 873 GT (25% more than her Dutch competitors), translating into more square meterage and higher decks and accommodating up to 12 guests in 6 cabins.The yacht is built in aluminum with a hybrid propulsion, not wasting any fuel and at the same time reducing noise and vibration, with a top speed of 16.5 knots, and a range of more than 6,500 nautical miles at 9.5 knots (consuming 90 l/h) in electric modeA dream-team of professionals worked on creating a real “Fifth Element”: Dobroserdov design from Monaco created exterior design, naval architecture by the renowned Vripack group from the Netherlands and unique interiors by Rome-based Michela Reverberi.This outstanding all-alluminium hybrid is a new symbol of the highest European quality and modern innovation.
