M/Y “MASQUENADA”, PIER LUIGI LORO PIANA’S 51M EXPEDITION YACHT
After a major refit that lasted just 9 months, Lusben has launched “Masquenada”, a 51-meter expedition yacht now owned by Pier Luigi Loro Piana. The main focus was the external profile of the boat – based on the work of Nauta Design – which has been radically transformed and extended in the stern block, as well as the complete renovation of the interior and the repainting of the entire superstructure and part of the hull.

The main transformation that “Masquenada” underwent was the removal and extension of the en-tire stern block: in addition to the installation of a transformer that doubled the available surface of the beach area, the lengths of the Bridge and Upper Deck were increased by 1.5 meters each. This operation was particularly complex because, in the beginning, there was a lack of information such as technical drawings or wiring diagrams, and it was therefore necessary to perform a 3D scan of the yacht and carry out measurements and surveys from scratch.
Great attention was also paid to the reduction of vibrations and noise: Lusben, Vulkan and the Names studio collaborated to create new custom supports for the three latest generation Kohler generators, including a double soundproofing box for the central generator, while the thruster and hydraulic steering have been replaced by electric systems.
“We are particularly proud of this project that we were lucky enough to follow from the beginning, alongside the owner. Today, we can say that completing such a complex project in such a short time was an incredible operation carried out in a masterful way by Lusben.”
The profile of “Masquenada” is now much more sleek and elegant and, in redesigning the stern block, we have managed to improve the contact with the water and the liveability of this area, now transformed into a “pieds dans l’eau”.
In this way, more momentum and even elegance have been given to the profile of the boat, increasing the liveability of the open decks.
Both the Upper Deck and the Bridge Deck were lengthened by approximately 1.5m each, extending the already comfortable dimensions for the outside.
Each story highlights our commitment to excellence, craftsmanship, and innovation in the world of yacht refitting.
