Superyacht enthusiasts are in for a luxurious treat this weekend as the award-winning Pazienza makes its glittering Australian debut at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS). Running from May 22 to 25, the 36th edition of SCIBS is already making waves with a record-breaking lineup of premieres and a touch of Mediterranean elegance.
The 35-metre Italian masterpiece, Pazienza, arrives fresh from its accolade as ‘World’s Best Explorer Yacht’ at the World Superyacht Awards in Venice. Designed by the celebrated Francesco Paszkowski, the vessel turns heads with sleek curves, expansive windows, and a sun deck that feels more like a penthouse floating on the sea.
Sold to its current Australian owner during SCIBS 2021 through Yachtsmen International, Pazienza is now proudly showcased by its builder, Cantiere delle Marche — a world leader in long-range luxury yachts. “We are so excited to have M/Y Pazienza on display at SCIBS, with Australian demand for this type of luxury vessel being strong,” said Paul Miletta, Regional Director Australia & New Zealand for Cantiere delle Marche. “It is our first new boat that has arrived in Australia, with others in build for Australian clients.”
A true ‘Explorer Yacht’, Pazienza is over-engineered for long-range travel while enveloped in Italian luxury. “With a comfortable range of 7,000 nautical miles, it is possible to comfortably explore the magnificent waterways the South Pacific has to offer,” Miletta added.
The presence of Pazienza adds flair and prestige to Sanctuary Cove, and it’s no surprise that SCIBS was chosen for her Australian reveal. With more than 45,000 visitors expected, the show is already being billed as one of the most extravagant yet.
But Pazienza is just the beginning. SCIBS 2025 is a full lifestyle destination, boasting nearly 100 exclusive product launches. Local powerhouse Riviera is unveiling two world-firsts: the 4300 Sport Express and the Riviera 72 Sports Motor Yacht. Maritimo brings its own debuts with the M50 Flybridge and S60 Sedan, both loaded with luxe features and high-tech innovation.
Palm Beach Motor Yachts, celebrating 30 years in style, showcases the globally debuting Grand Banks 60 and Eastbay 60 — each blending timeless craftsmanship with cutting-edge design.
Visitors can also experience the thrill of the open water with on-water sea trials, including a chance to board the futuristic Candela C-8, a whisper-quiet, all-electric hydrofoiling vessel.
And when it’s time to unwind, the Lagoon Beach Club offers the ultimate indulgence. Overlooking the marina and lagoon pool, guests can sip Veuve Clicquot or Whispering Angel Rosé, enjoy gourmet grazing, and soak in the French Riviera vibe, all courtesy of the InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort.
