It’s only been a couple of years since Extra Yachts entered the marine industry, but the Italian yard is already expanding its repertoire.
The relative newcomer, which is brand of Palumbo Superyachts, has just unveiled a new catamaran line known as the Extra Villa. The Extra family comprises a range of speedy Italian yachts and spacious tri-deck vessels, but the X30 is the very first multihull model to join the range.

As its moniker implies, the cat spans 30 meters (99 feet) and is designed to be a floating villa with “unrivaled liveability.” The multi-level vessel pairs the spacious open-plan layout of a superyacht with the efficiency and stability of a multihull.
Unlike Extra’s yachts, which were all designed by Francesco Guida, the X30 Villa was designed inside and out by Phathom. The Dutch studio sought to create a “dynamic synergy where automotive meets architecture.” In other words, the cat is sleek and sporty yet sophisticated and stylish. It also clearly has Extra’s DNA, from the extensive glazing to the large social areas to the open concept stern.

Onboard, Villa’s versatile interior can be customized to the owner. The current layout sees the main saloon, library nook, bar and galley all connected beneath the raised wheelhouse and observatory. The VIP cabins each offer direct access to the transom, while the forward owner’s suite opens onto a private glass-bottomed terrace located between the two hulls.
Another highlight is the multifunctional “high/low” platform that can be moved to sit flush with the swim platform and create a larger beach club. The platform can also support a 16-foot tender and water toys.
In terms of power, the cat will be equipped with a hybrid propulsion system that “significantly reduces CO2 emissions.” With twin Volvo Penta IPS 1350 engines, the X30 Villa is expected to have a cruising speed of 12.5 knots and a top speed of 17.5 knots. The vessel will also be fitted with solar panels that will generate clean energy for the onboard amenities. The setup is similar to that of the electric cats by Sunreef, Rossinavi and Silent. In addition, sustainable materials, such as alternative leathers and reclaimed woods, will be used throughout the Villa.
With yachts and catamarans covered, perhaps Extra Explorers are next.

At 45, Maitland Ward is unapologetic about "everything" in her life."I'm unapologetic about sex … but I think it's me in my truth and everything," she tells Yahoo Life. "When I was young, I was so apologetic for so many years. I will never apologize anymore."The actress, who got her start on The Bold and the Beautiful before joining the cast of the popular teen sitcom Boy Meets World as Rachel in 1998, has since left Hollywood for a career in pornography. That shift — which she chronicles in her upcoming book, Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me From Hollywood, out Sept. 6 — was one of taking back control of her sexuality."I was always looked at, in my view, as the more provocative one — people were fascinated by my long legs, and that I'm so tall and I have fiery red hair, and it was like it almost made that OK," Ward says of her experiences on TV sets, noting that some of what she experienced would not be "acceptable" today. "People would come up and, like, pat you on the ass or like give you a little pinch or say, 'Oh, look how hot you are. Look at your tits.'"What was especially challenging, Ward says, was that she was expected to be "a sexualized being" for other people, but not actually enjoy her own sexuality. She was told to be virginal and chaste, but also appeal to male viewers.
