Bellini Group since 1960
For the first time in its history, Bellini Yacht is participating in the prestigious Venice Boat Show, an event held in one of the world’s most iconic and enchanting cities. This edition is even more special thanks to its overlap with the Venice Architecture Biennale, creating a unique atmosphere where art, design, and innovation come together—an ideal setting for the launch of an exclusive Limited Edition: the Astor 36 by Daniel Arsham.
The 36-foot model, crafted by the historic shipyard on Lake Iseo, is presented as an 11.30-meter walkaround open yacht with a beam of 3.90 meters. This vessel has been reinterpreted through Daniel Arsham’s unmistakable “future archaeology” aesthetic. Essential, clean lines merge with a visionary concept, where nautical design embraces the language of contemporary art.
The result is a yacht with a distinctly contemporary character, also thanks to a meticulously designed color palette: elegant shades of grey and black are complemented by the iconic “Arsham Green,” a unique aqua green hue symbolizing the artist’s poetic vision, skillfully integrated into the hull line, console, hard top, and onboard furnishings.
On the outside, this limited edition stands out for its custom-designed side air intakes featuring the artist’s logo, a hard top signed by Arsham Studio, and smoke-colored faux teak surfaces decorated with Arsham’s monogram. The dry-feel fabric covers the aft sunbed, enriched with a custom plate, while the pilot seats feature “Arsham” embroidery that echoes the project’s overall aesthetic. The helm console is notable for its steering wheel with the artist’s logo and a SIMRAD Chartplotter GPS 15 Ultra wide navigation system, with an interface developed in collaboration with Daniel Arsham and Mònade Studio.
The interiors are characterized by the use of customized fabrics and color schemes, along with two pieces of furniture—a mirror and a washbasin—from the Kohler x Daniel Arsham collection.
Astor 36 by Daniel Arsham also introduces a cutting-edge technological innovation to the yachting sector: the Digital Product Passport (DPP), developed in partnership with Arianee, a French company leading in DPP solutions for durable goods. This digital document, based on blockchain technology and activated via a QR code on a card provided upon delivery, ensures transparency throughout the yacht’s supply chain and lifecycle, tracking all key events and enriching the owner’s experience with access to exclusive after-sales services.
There could be no better place than Venice to present this Limited Edition. The lagoon city, with its canals, historic palaces, and timeless atmosphere, perfectly embodies the spirit of elegance and refinement that Bellini Yacht aims to convey. The simultaneous Architecture Biennale, which attracts architects, designers, and creatives from all over the world, adds a unique cultural and artistic value to the event, making the Venice Boat Show the perfect stage for such a prestigious launch.
The Bellini Yacht stand is located on land, right next to the historic Torre dell’Arsenale, the vibrant heart of Venice’s naval tradition. This strategic position allows visitors to immerse themselves in the city’s historical and cultural atmosphere while discovering the innovations and beauty of the Astor 36 by Daniel Arsham.
The stand’s setup reflects the brand’s philosophy: elegance, craftsmanship, and innovation come together to offer an engaging and memorable experience. Visitors can admire every detail of the yacht up close and discover the story and passion that drive Bellini Yacht.
