Together, they have crafted Hippolyta, which aims to harmoniously blend timeless aesthetics, with cutting-edge technology and sustainability.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329025/image/large-1a9255ac26dcbff61945d7faa878997f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329025">The name Hippolyta translates as 'she who unleashes the horses', deriving from two Greek roots meaning horse and let loose. This element has been incorporating into her design with a horse motif added to her superstructure.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329034/image/large-09e99036e10c28691f58dbfd0c8df2c3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329034"> “Hippolyta’s design was never intended to be retro,” explained designer Christian Leyk. “We wanted to design a yacht that embodies the spirit of a particular era without directly replicating historical styles. Many of the yachts now considered timeless were, at the time of their creation, forward-looking in their design. We aimed to do the same by blending classic lines with contemporary flair.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329027/image/large-e2f2fb6f9f66b4a9ef318727ca7842b1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329027"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329028/image/large-1debc17362f954082893646d6307bdb4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329028">Spanning four decks, Hippolyta features a steel hull and aluminium superstructure and presents an exquisite blend of understated luxury and Scandinavian minimalism. Her interior design, led by Anja Carlsson of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7451" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Acoya Design House (Company)">acoya design house</a> and Natalie Fogelström of KOJA Design, incorporates premium, eco-friendly materials such as responsibly sourced teak, mahogany, and recycled metals, underscoring the team’s commitment to sustainability.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329042/image/large-b4ea8a14c9072e56844c27f82262a46e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329042">“Hippolyta’s interiors have been crafted with a focus on creating spaces that are timeless yet functional, marrying elegance and comfort in a way that endures through the years,” commented designer Anja Carlsson of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7451" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Acoya Design House (Company)">acoya design house</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329044/image/large-deb905e79eca186cc59c74d58a4debc8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329044">“Our goal was to ensure that every detail in the yacht’s design contributes to an overall sense of balance, sophistication, and timeless beauty,” added Natalie Fogelström of KOJA Design. “Elegance, to us, is not about excess, but about selecting elements that complement each other in form, function, and proportion.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329040/image/large-f533e31b1d08d88a2e9ee575f4b10174.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329040">Hippolyta can accommodate up to 10 guests across a luxurious owner’s suite and four additional guest staterooms, alongside a crew of 16.
