The P58 at the autumn boat shows

Fiart presented the P58 at the Genoa International Boat Show from 1 to 6 October 2026 alongside the SX5, marking another opportunity for visitors to inspect the Italian yard’s Custom Luxury Line flagship. The P58 is a 17.757-metre motor yacht, firmly within Luxury Yacht Guide’s 12.00–23.99-metre remit.

The announcement is a display update, not a claim that the model launched for the first time at Genoa. Fiart has positioned it as a highly configurable yacht designed with Stefano Pastrovich, while the SX5 represents a separate direction within the builder’s range.

Two layouts for different owners

Fiart offers two modular interior arrangements for the P58 rather than assuming that every owner needs identical accommodation. One uses two generous principal cabins with individually arranged bathrooms, while the alternative has an aft principal suite and two forward guest cabins, one of which can be reconfigured.

The choice has consequences for privacy, crew arrangements and the ability to host overnight guests. A yacht used mainly by a couple may benefit from larger individual cabins, while a family planning extended summer cruising can value flexibility in the forward guest accommodation.

Platform, tender and waterside living

The transom opens access to a dedicated tender compartment, with a submersible platform intended to assist launching and recovery. The builder also offers a hardtop as an option, permitting owners to select the balance between open-air cruising and shade at anchor.

Tender arrangements must be reviewed against the exact craft carried, its weight and the certified loading limits of the platform. A comfortable waterside deck remains useful only when circulation and equipment operation can be carried out safely in typical conditions.

Performance and the technical specification

The builder lists twin Volvo Penta IPS950 engines, a beam of 5.2 metres and a stated speed range of 28–35 knots. Its published fuel capacity is 2,400 litres and the maximum quoted autonomy is approximately 450 nautical miles, but actual cruising range depends strongly on speed, weather, loading and reserve policies.

Owners comparing this boat with other 18-metre models should ask for complete fuel-consumption curves and real sea-trial data rather than plan a passage around a best-case brochure figure. Propulsion efficiency also depends on maintenance, hull condition and correct propeller selection.

Fiart Mare and Pastrovich

Fiart Mare builds motor yachts at Baia near Naples and operates across several product families. Working with Stefano Pastrovich on the P58 allows the builder to combine a recognisable design concept with multiple owner choices inside a constrained footprint.

Detailed engineering of hull, systems and the cabin arrangements determines whether that concept delivers practical cruising comfort. A premium finish should be assessed through access to machinery, noise control and quality of installation as much as through surface materials.

What prospective buyers should check

The completed Genoa display gave buyers a chance to consider how the 17.76-metre yacht actually uses space, particularly where the two interior options differ. Those considering a new order should verify build specification, delivery estimates, CE certification and the options included in the quoted price.

An informed inspection should cover the helms, deck accessibility, onboard storage and service routes behind furniture panels. The P58’s appeal is its flexible design, but the right configuration depends on the owner’s real operating profile rather than an exhibition photograph.

Owner and service considerations

Buyers should also distinguish options shown on an exhibition yacht from those fitted as standard. Warranty terms, commissioning procedures and the operator’s intended cruising area can have a material effect on the specification ultimately chosen. A detailed installation or purchase plan can also clarify costs and responsibilities before any equipment is ordered.

Owners should keep documentation from the manufacturer and their chosen boatyard. These records can make later inspections and repairs more efficient and help preserve the history of the yacht for a future buyer.
