Bellini Yacht to Debut Limited Edition Collaboration with Daniel Arsham at Venice Boat Show
May 7, 2025
World Premiere of “Astor 36 by Daniel Arsham” Set for Late May
Bellini Yacht is thrilled to announce its first-ever participation in the prestigious Venice Boat Show, where it will unveil an extraordinary collaboration with internationally acclaimed artist Daniel Arsham. The sixth edition of this renowned nautical exhibition will take place from May 29 to June 2, 2025, against the historic backdrop of Venice’s Arsenale.
The highlight of the yacht brand’s debut will be the world premiere of the “Astor 36 by Daniel Arsham” – a limited edition of our popular walkaround vessel that represents the perfect fusion of luxury yachting and contemporary art.
A Unique Artistic Vision Meets Maritime Excellence
Daniel Arsham, celebrated for his distinctive “archaeology of the future” aesthetic, brings his unique artistic perspective to the world of luxury yachting through this unprecedented collaboration. Arsham’s work is known for blending temporal elements – past, present, and future – often incorporating nostalgic references to the late 20th century.
His artistic practice spans multiple disciplines including visual art, architecture, performance, and cinema. Throughout his career, Arsham has collaborated with some of the world’s most prestigious luxury brands including Hublot, Tiffany & Co., and Porsche – making this partnership with Bellini Yacht a natural extension of his creative vision.
The Exceptional Astor 36: Italian Craftsmanship Redefined
The Astor 36, upon which this limited edition is based, represents the pinnacle of Italian craftsmanship and innovative design. Hand built in Italy with meticulous attention to detail, this 10-meter yacht (with a generous 3.9-meter beam) offers an exceptional on-water experience through its thoughtful design and premium features.
The vessel boasts a spacious centre console layout that maximises usable deck space while maintaining sleek, balanced proportions. One of its most distinctive features is the pair of automatic drop-down balconies—standard on both port and starboard sides—that create an uninterrupted connection to the surrounding seascape when deployed.
Below deck, the Astor 36 surprises with its generous interior accommodations, providing comfortable sleeping space for up to four people. Customers can choose between a pristine white gelcoat finish or a range of painted options to perfectly express their personal style.
Highly customisable throughout, the Astor 36 embodies Bellini Yacht’s commitment to creating vessels that reflect each owner’s unique preferences while maintaining uncompromising quality and performance.
Venice Boat Show: The Perfect Venue
The Venice Boat Show provides the ideal setting for this landmark unveiling. As one of Europe’s most prestigious nautical exhibitions, hosted in the magnificent historical Arsenale, the show attracts luxury yacht enthusiasts and industry professionals from around the globe.
“We couldn’t imagine a more fitting venue than the Venice Boat Show for the debut of this special collaboration,” said a spokesperson for Bellini Yacht. “The juxtaposition of Venice’s rich maritime history with Daniel Arsham’s forward-looking artistic vision perfectly embodies what we’ve achieved with this limited-edition vessel.”
