FIM 500 Regina: here is the new Fabbrica Italiana Motoscafi's flagship

As anticipation builds for the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024, early reveals like the FIM 500 Regina provide a glimpse of the exciting innovations coming to the French showcase. This open hardtop yacht now leads both the Regina range and the entire FIM lineup, at least until the FIM 640 Contessa, currently under development, takes its place at the top.

With an overall length of approximately 16.10 meters, the new FIM 500 Regina presents itself as a highly elegant motoryacht. At the same time, it exudes a sporty character through its sleek, streamlined profile a design hallmark evident across the shipyard’s other models. This includes the recently launched 440 Regina.

The FIM 500 Regina draws inspiration from the 440 Regina for its distinctive hardtop design. This feature, developed through the partnership between FIM and Design aLOT, defines the yacht's silhouette. Integrated with a sharply angled windshield to enhance aerodynamics and lend a sporty appearance, the hardtop extends dramatically toward the stern. Its open-sided design ensures optimal airflow, delivering a true open-yacht experience.

Among the various innovative options available for the FIM 500 Regina, owners can choose to install photovoltaic panels, contributing to a greener onboard experience. Furthermore, the yacht’s structure is crafted from ultralight infusion-molded carbon fiber, recycled for use in the paneling. This underscores one of the central principles behind the yacht’s design: reducing environmental impact.

More generally, Fabbrica Italiana Motoscafi has sought as much as possible to use durable, recycled, or easily recyclable materials, both inside and outside, including fabrics: for example, the exterior upholstery is made with 100% recyclable materials, with particular attention to ensuring a consistently cool seating experience even in high temperatures.

The below-deck layout of the FIM 500 Regina

The same sense of comfort and attention to detail can be found below deck, where light abounds thanks to the side windows, the chosen colors, and the interplay of mirrors that characterizes, for example, the bathroom of the owner's suite, which is located aft.

The guest cabin is no less welcoming, offering five-star solutions such as a generously sized walk-in closet and access to a second bathroom with a separate shower box.

Technology and design at the service of guests on deck

FIM has adopted numerous innovative solutions for its flagship. From an aesthetic perspective, the lighting takes inspiration from car design, while the home automation systems put technology at the service of guests and the owner.

Additionally, there are many design solutions that make the outdoor spaces easily adaptable to suit the needs of the moment.

In the cockpit, for example, the sunbed and sofa merge into a single space through a mechanism with folding backrests, while the retractable TV is integrated into a kitchen unit and a console equipped with cameras for assisted mooring.

The entire aft area can also open directly to the sea, thanks to foldable side bulwarks and the swim platform, which is seamlessly connected to the cockpit floor.

At the bow, a section of the sunbed can be slid toward the bow triangle to transform it into a sofa, creating a lounge area with a separate bench and a central table.

Dual Engine option for FIM 500 Regina

The FIM 500 Regina offers a choice between two engine power configurations: 2x480 HP as standard and 2x600 HP as an optional upgrade.

Regardless of the choice, the engines are always Volvo Penta IPS, specifically the IPS650 in the standard configuration and the IPS800 in the optional setup.
