roject Orca is a unique new 65m explorer yacht from Rosetti Superyachts that also incorporates many supply vessel characteristics. This is hardly surprising as the yard is part of Rosetti Marino SpA, a leading high-tech working vessel builder. Most significantly, however, the new beauty’s organic combination of curved and straight lines mimics those of the orca or killer whale which roams the world’s oceans just as Orca herself will do. The 65m has a sturdily robust profile with wraparound glazing and a boldlydesigned superstructure complete with a dorsal fin-like radar mast. Orca even sports the same white side patch as her namesake at owner deck level. Stretching a beamy 12 metres across and with an estimated gross tonnage of up to 1300GT, Orca offers four decks plus a tank-top deck. Owners, however, will have a choice of deck layouts. The standard version features an open aft section on the main deck for accommodating tenders, toys and a touch & go helipad. If this does not appeal, the zone can be fitted with an infinity pool overlooking the transom or a raised helipad with a pool and spa zone inside. A large garage aft on the lower deck will stow two large tenders or several jet skis and other toys. Guests are accommodated in two VIP suites and two staterooms forward the lower deck. The crew quarters are in the bow. The main deck features the large main saloon, dining room and another spacious VIP suite
