The weekend of July 4th was cause for celebration in La Spezia, Italy, as the motor yacht Exuma was christened before a crowd of nearly 1,000 well-wishers. This 50 meter exploration vessel represents a lot of firsts. Built under the Picchiotti brand, it is the first powerboat launched by the Perini Navi Group, the venerable builder of large sailing yachts. It was also the first motor yacht designed by renowned sailing yacht naval architect Phillippe Briand, and the first in the Vitruvius series.
