This could be a very bad case of buyer's remorse or the biggest coincidence in the world, but you know what they say: one millionaire's loss is another millionaire's win. No Stress Two, an innovative, hybrid vessel dubbed "the future of the superyacht industry," is looking for a new owner.
That a superyacht has entered the market is not the big news here, even when you factor in the fact that No Stress Two is a 2023 build and that its original owner waited at least three years to set foot on it.
What makes this strange or, at the very least, more intriguing is the fact that No Stress Two became available less than a week after delivery to the owner. Said owner had been involved in the creative process since the start and specifically asked for minimalist interiors with an emphasis on open, flowing spaces.
No Stress Two is not a custom vessel, but it qualifies as semi-custom for this reason. It's actually the first build in Rossinavi's BluE series, which will focus on innovative tech that reduces the vessel's carbon footprint and enhances efficiency.

It's a gorgeous, automotive-inspired superyacht capable of impressive performance and, due to the combination of hybrid propulsion and AI management of available resources, a first of its kind. For whatever reason, it's also for sale: one trade publication confirms that David Jakabovic of Morley Yachts holds the listing just ahead of the vessel's debut at the 2023 edition of the Monaco Yacht Show.
This strange development aside, No Stress Two (initially dubbed simply No Stress because of the inherent promise of lessening range anxiety) is a spectacular vessel. It's not the biggest out there, and it's definitely not the flashiest, but it's beautiful and elegant, capable and fast, and will all the trappings of modern one-percenter life.
As we were saying, one man's millionaire’s loss, another millionaire's win.

With a total length of 50 meters (164 feet), No Stress Two features exterior design and interiors by Enrico Gobbi through his Team for Design over naval architecture by Arrabito Naval Architects. Construction on it started in 2021. Technical launch took place in April 2023, while delivery went off without a glitch (that we know of) in September 2023.
The owner had bought it before construction began, asking for architectural, minimalist, and zen-like interior spaces that automatically implied fewer flourishes and more careful planning. The interiors are a perfect match for the sporty, slightly aggressive exterior. No Stress Two is a fast-displacement aluminum hull with an aluminum superstructure, so it's comparatively lightweight.
Gobbi focused on an exterior that was partly inspired by supercars partly by private jets, with long sinuous lines cut longitudinally by expansive black glazing. No Stress Two seems to be moving even at anchor, and that was the goal. The other was to render it capable of 20.5 knots (23.6 mph/38 kph) at full tilt despite the generous interior volume of 498 GT.

No Stress Two features hybrid propulsion: twin MTU 16V 2000 M96L diesel engines and twin electric motors powered by generators and a battery pack allow for a total of five operating modes, not including the one exclusively for hotel functions.
Even if you're not a keen superyacht-watcher, you probably know that hybrid propulsion, while still not the standard in the superyacht segment, is not some kind of novelty. Where No Stress Two truly breaks the mold is by featuring AI tech for monitoring available resources and maximum efficiency.
In other words, the AI system will ensure that the battery charge is between 20 and 80 depending on usage and will dialog with the crew "in permissible ways" when sailing in full electric mode to minimize environmental impact. Rossinavi promises that this combination of hybrid propulsion and AI management will be refined in their next build, a 43-meter (141-foot) catamaran they call the Sea Cat.
Since No Stress Two is still a superyacht, it's specced like one. Accommodation onboard is for 10 to 12 guests across five staterooms, with amenities that range from a large pool and a jacuzzi to a stylish beach club with a DJ booth and the possibility to open up most interior spaces to the outside.

With the listing came the first photos of the interior, confirming the initial report about the demand for minimalism. The rooms are gorgeous, airy, and, yes, minimalist, finished in muted tones and sleek furniture. With its Monaco introduction, more images are bound to be published. So keep an eye out for this one: the Monaco Yacht Show takes place between 27 and 30 September.
In case you happen to be on the market for a spanking-new vessel that breaks the mold on innovation without compromising on performance, looks, or amenities, this Rossinavi superyacht is asking €36.9 million (approximately $39.6 million at the current exchange rate).
