My Falco Moscata Rewrites the Superyacht Playbook

Written by Maxim Sorokopud

The imposing hull of the My Falco Moscata superyacht makes a major statement, no matter how dramatic its surroundings may be. It conveys that this vessel has been built with a commitment to durability. The individual who originally commissioned the vessel, under the name Exuma, requested a yacht that had the hardiness to traverse the entire globe. It’s easy to believe that such a formidable-looking vessel could do so, even in the harshest conditions.

Appropriately, the My Falco Moscata has proven that it can manage rigorous journeys with aplomb. Data from the vessel’s first worldwide trip revealed that it had a range of 6,500 miles at a 12-knot cruising speed. Or, to put it another way, it could sail from Los Angeles to Tokyo on a full tank and still have enough fuel left over to reach South Korea easily.

At a distance, it could be easy to mistake the My Falco Moscata for a naval vessel. But upon closer inspection, telltale signs of civilian-centered luxury become apparent. Instead of weaponry, the exterior section of the bridge deck is adorned with a spa pool. This bridge deck extends to the rear, functioning as a gazebo to shelter the outdoor dining area below. Couch frames that are part of the vessel’s construction rise up from this lower deck, lining a dining space that far outshines any militaristic mess hall. Toward the boat’s bow is another spacious exterior deck, which often houses sunloungers and other outdoor furniture. Despite the high-end features, nothing about this exterior is fragile, with the most robust materials being utilized. For instance, the My Falco Moscata’s external handrails are made out of titanium.

Within the rugged exterior is a living space that could pass as a penthouse room at The Ritz, with only the low ceilings betraying the charade. Perini Navi, the organization that designed the interior, should be applauded for crafting such an elegant layout. The materials used in the decor are certainly worthy of a luxury hotel, comprising Italian marble, natural oak, and the finest teak.

Even the windows on all but the lowest cabin level are huge for a yacht. The bridge deck’s double-curvature bombe windows are particularly impressive, providing a full-circle panoramic view of the surrounding environment. Picchiotti, the company that collaborated with Vitruvius Yachts and Philippe Briand to devise the My Falco Moscata, claims that the vessel has revolutionized the design process of explorer yachts, with the expansive windows being just one example. Briand has even referred to the ship as an ideally proportioned superstructure. This statement holds up to scrutiny. The sleekness of the hull lines, the extended nature of the water line, and the optimal balance of straight and curved lines all make the My Falco Moscata one of the most efficient vehicles ever to sail the seas.

Perhaps the biggest testament to the ship’s design is that, with the sheer boldness of the exterior and extravagance of the interior, it’s easy to overlook all of the extra vehicles within. Below the spacious forward deck are two garages containing a 12-foot hovercraft and a 16.5-foot amphibious vehicle. A third garage is just behind the transom door at the vessel’s stern, housing a 21-foot jet tender. Elsewhere within the ship are a 14-foot rescue tender and a jet ski. These ensure that anyone lucky enough to access the vessel can explore to their heart’s content.

Indeed, the My Falco Moscata sets a new standard in maritime adventure.


For almost 450 years, Picchiotti Yachts has contributed to the Italian seafaring industry. To create the My Falco Moscata, it collaborated with French yacht designer Philippe Briand, his company Vitruvius Yachts, and fellow Italian company Perini Navi, resulting in a trendsetting vessel.
