THE KALIZMA

“JUDGES’ SPECIAL AWARD” WINNER

AND

“BEST REBUILT SUPERYACHT AWARD” NOMINEE

On 21 May 2022, in London, at the 17th annual edition of the BOAT International World Superyacht Awards , The Kalizma was announced the winner of a “ Judges’ Special Award” and was nominated for the “Best Rebuilt Superyacht Award”.

The World Superyacht Awards recognise the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the most remarkable luxury yachts from across the world. The globally acclaimed awards, are known for their credibility and prestige thanks to a judging panel of twenty current superyacht owners and two expert advisors.

To be recipient of a World Superyacht Award, also know as a “Neptune Award” is considered by superyacht owners as the equivalent to the Honorary Awards for lifetime achievement at the Oscars.

Our appreciation and gratitude goes to BOAT International and the judges for their time and for recognising that The Kalizma is truly something special.

Shirish Saraf, Kalizma owner, “I’m delighted that the Kalizma is the recipient of the prestigious “Judges’ Special Award” and had the honour to be nominated in the “Best Rebuilt Superyacht” category at the 2022 World Superyacht Awards Ceremony. The entire Kalizma team, supervised by the highly capable Aashim Mongia, Cpt. Surender Saini and Alessandro from Palazzo Morelli tirelessly worked to bring The Kalizma back to life. I think there is a responsibility that comes with owning something like this and that responsibility is to really keep the soul the same. I am extremely pleased with what we achieved in a very tough covid environment. She is truly a piece of art and history and I look forward to enjoying sailing The Kalizma in the years ahead.”

Aashim Mongia, CEO West Coast Marine Yacht Services , “The Kalizma is part of yachting history. Our team of trained specialists worked tirelessly with Cpt. Saini to execute the design conceptualised by Mr. Saraf and Palazzo Morelli. My team and I, feel truly honoured to have been entrusted to rebuild such an iconic superyacht. We are thrilled that The Kalizma has received such a prestigious award, and to have been nominated in the “Best Rebuilt Superyacht” 2022 category.”

Alessandro Ortenzi, Palazzo Morelli , “We are extremely proud of this award, at least as much as we were when the Mr. Saraf honoured us with this remarkable assignment. The history, beauty and elegance of The Kalizma embody Palazzo Morelli’s essence perfectly. An approach that aims to read the past, bring it to life and reinterpret it through the taste and necessities of the current days.”Kalizma was a cover page article in the February 2022 edition of Boat International.
