The Lancia Aprea 52 reimagines the traditional lobster boat with a blend of Italian craftsmanship and modern power. Built by Aprea Cantieri in Sorrento, this 52-foot model is crafted to captivate and perform, merging the elegance of classic design with powerful outboard and diesel options for a smooth yet thrilling experience.
Elegance and Functionality in Every Detail
The Aprea 52 combines sleek lines with robust functionality, with a modern vertical bow and a hardtop that adds contemporary flair to the classic deck. The choice of materials is exceptional, with a teak-coated exterior and steel-reinforced areas around the cleats for durability. The expansive cockpit features a beautifully inlaid table, freestanding seating, and a sun deck. The helm station’s deflector keeps the wind at bay, allowing for a more comfortable and controlled experience, while four anatomical, sporty seats offer a touch of luxury for those onboard.
Thoughtful Interior Design
Below deck, the Aprea 52 offers flexible layouts. The standard version includes three cabins and two bathrooms, while alternative configurations provide two cabins and a convertible bow dinette or a large storage area that can be converted into an additional cabin. Oak paneling and Loro Piana fabric accents lend the interior an understated, timeless style. The owner’s cabin boasts high ceilings, dual wardrobes, and carefully designed cabinetry to make full use of available space, creating a serene, inviting atmosphere.
Power and Performance
Equipped with two Volvo Penta IPS 800 engines, each delivering 625 horsepower, the Aprea 52 is capable of leisurely cruises at 7 knots with a fuel consumption of just 1.7 liters per mile. When brought to planing speeds, this lobster boat reaches a cruising speed of 12 knots at 5.5 liters per mile and can comfortably cruise at 15 knots with a fuel rate of 6 liters per mile. For thrill-seekers, it can reach up to 32.5 knots, handling challenging waters with stability thanks to its deep-V hull, efficient Interceptor trim system, and joystick control for effortless maneuverability.
Setting a New Standard in Lobster Boats
The Lancia Aprea 52 marks the beginning of a new line from Aprea Cantieri, with models ranging from 32 to 72 feet in development. This 52-foot iteration combines classic Italian aesthetics with modern technology, setting a new benchmark for elegance, performance, and build quality in lobster boats.
