Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones and Persico Marine are excited to announce the upcoming launch of their cutting-edge high-performance yacht, Magic Carpet e, which has just successfully completed a technical pre-launch at Persico’s La Spezia shipyard.
“The Magic Carpet brand has always represented prestige, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to excellence in yachting. Central to this legacy is Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones, whose passion and vision have birthed a series of yachts that consistently push the envelope of performance on the water while offering unparalleled comfort and design. Over two decades after the inaugural Magic Carpet set sail, Sir Lindsay has entered a new phase in collaboration with Persico Marine, which is celebrated for its high-performance yacht designs. They are now ready to reveal the most innovative creation in the series: Magic Carpet e.
This 100-foot marvel, designed by the distinguished naval architect Guillaume Verdier, seamlessly merges art with technology. Combining innovation with sophistication, Magic Carpet e guarantees exceptional performance in the competitive sailing arena.
Sir Lindsay’s decision to partner with Persico Marine underscores that Magic Carpet e will epitomize the peak of yacht design, engineering, and execution. This remarkable yacht is in the final stages at Persico’s La Spezia facility, following a recent technical pre-launch. The official reveal is set for spring 2025 in Saint-Tropez, and the yachting world is eagerly anticipating as testing and refinement challenge conventional limits, paving the way for an unforgettable season.
As excitement grows, Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones’s unwavering determination to push technological boundaries is pivotal to the project, ensuring that this latest achievement furthers the Magic Carpet legacy of embracing future performance. Though built for racing excellence, Magic Carpet e also emphasizes outstanding interior design and comfort.
For Persico Marine, Magic Carpet e exemplifies its relentless pursuit of innovation in marine design and engineering. “Projects like Magic Carpet e compel us to break barriers,” noted Marcello Persico, CEO of Persico Marine. “At a time when every cutting-edge, fast sailing yacht seems to necessitate foiling technology, this project will demonstrate that there are virtually no limits to the groundbreaking concepts that can be crafted for a ‘traditional yacht.’ Magic Carpet e certainly elevates high-performance technology to unprecedented heights.
Mark your calendars for the grand unveiling in March 2025.
