A collaboration between yacht manufacturer Palmer Johnson, based in Monaco, and luxury car maker Bugatti has led to the introduction of a new series of yachts, with sizes ranging from 50 to 88 feet. While Bugatti and Palmer Johnson typically focus on different types of vehicles, their designs share many similarities.
One of the most striking features of the Niniette 66 is the iconic Bugatti horseshoe shape, which is prominently visible both inside and outside the yacht. This distinctive shape is inspired by the designs of the Bugatti Veyron and Chiron cars. In those vehicles, the horseshoe shape is not just about aesthetics; it serves a functional purpose by allowing essential airflow to cool the powerful 8.0-liter W-16 engine. In the Niniette 66, the interior below deck showcases this horseshoe design, which elegantly connects the yacht’s hull. Etienne Salomé, Bugatti’s design chief, noted, “Even from afar, when entering a port, the Niniette will unmistakably be recognized as a true Bugatti.”
The yacht’s interior and deck feature luxurious materials, including carbon fiber and leather. Additionally, the deck boasts a unique blue-hued morta oak wood. Among the opulent amenities on the deck are a fireplace, a jacuzzi, a sun pad, and a champagne bar—a perfect match for the high-end allure of Bugatti. Powered by two MAN V8 engines, the Niniette 66 can reach a maximum speed of 44 knots, while sponsons ensure a smooth and stable ride.
While no official price has been announced, it’s safe to infer that owning one of these yachts comes with a staggering cost, as the old saying goes: if you have to ask for the price, you probably cannot afford it.
