The plan is centred around a 45-metre project currently under construction and two new concepts: the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/282" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kingship Yacht (Company)">Kingship</a> 88 and the KingCat 90, each developed in collaboration with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/464" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Barracuda Yacht Design Ltd.

The yard is currently completing a 45-metre project designed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1403" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Axis Group Yacht Design (Company)">Axis Design Group</a>, which Bart describes as “an ocean-capable 499 GT yacht built on speculation, with a steel hull, aluminium superstructure and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1408" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Caterpillar Inc (Company)">Caterpillar</a> power.” He adds that “the new owner will still be able to participate in the final interior design and finishes, completing her either as a private family yacht or a dual-purpose private and charter vessel.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/376941/image/large-417715703216940b907b397c4f4ca1a2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/376941">At the same time, Bart outlines <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/282" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kingship Yacht (Company)">Kingship</a>’s focus on a new market segment centred on two all-aluminium yachts designed under the 24-metre rule by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/464" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Barracuda Yacht Design Ltd. (Company)">Barracuda Yacht Design</a>. He explains that the models aim to offer more efficient operation and a contemporary aesthetic, with an emphasis on long-term durability and resale value. The range comprises two variants, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/282" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kingship Yacht (Company)">Kingship</a>&nbsp;88&nbsp;Motoryacht and the KingCat 90&nbsp;Powercat.Kingship’s new concepts under the 24-metre ruleThe two new all-aluminium models, developed with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/464" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Barracuda Yacht Design Ltd. (Company)">Barracuda Yacht Design</a>, have been conceived to remain within the sub-24-metre classification threshold while offering the volume and comfort typically associated with larger yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370253/image/large-6e1eff1d1292213df10e98a3b49b1c01.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370253">Each model has a nominal overall length of 88 and 90 feet respectively, including a transom platform, but their official hull length remains just under 24-metres. Bart explains that this approach allows <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/282" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kingship Yacht (Company)">Kingship</a> to comply with CE regulations without the additional requirements associated with fully classified yachts. This, he adds, can simplify crewing and reduce operating costs, a method commonly adopted across this size segment.Although both stay below the 24-metre limit, their internal volumes are comparable to those of larger yachts. The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/282" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kingship Yacht (Company)">Kingship</a>&nbsp;88&nbsp;benefits from a wide beam and open interior arrangement, while the twin-hull KingCat 90 provides generous deck space and enhanced stability. According to Bart, the goal is to combine efficiency and contemporary styling with long-term practicality and strong residual value. The first hull of the&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/282" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kingship Yacht (Company)">Kingship</a> 88 is already under construction on speculation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370265/image/large-b85a1642f824d5f22b7c708d8ddcb336.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370265">Future plansAs part of its renewed strategy, Bart says <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/282" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kingship Yacht (Company)">Kingship</a> aims to deliver one yacht per year, balancing new construction with its established refit activities. He explains that the yard continues to position itself as a key refit centre in the Asia-Pacific region, supported by a modern facility equipped with a large dry dock and workshops capable of handling mechanical, electrical, painting and interior works.Together, these efforts reflect a measured return to yacht building and a focus on growth, combining <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/282" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kingship Yacht (Company)">Kingship</a>’s established technical foundations with a forward-looking approach to design and operations.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/376944/image/large-2769fe5ec4876dabeb3ad294fb8b2764.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/376944">

Designed as a comfortable long‑range cruiser, she features a clear separation between guest and crew areas and delivers the spatial experience of a larger yacht within a more compact footprint.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370254/image/large-8dcc1bc5bea9982f4c208e2aed665314.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370254">The Kingship 88 concept is available in two configurations, with all key spaces situated on the main deck. The Open Flybridge version is well suited to warmer climates and coastal cruising, where panoramic views and marine life sightings are part of the experience. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370251/image/large-5acb7d692c0a80073a1eba8fd06a51cf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370251">The Closed Flybridge version offers enhanced protection for use in more variable weather conditions, encouraging greater use of the elevated lounge and observation areas throughout the year.Onboard the Kingship 88, a full walkaround main deck connects bow to stern, providing access to a spacious foredeck and a protected aft deck designed for intimate dining and socialising. At her stern, transom steps lead down to a swim platform positioned close to the waterline, offering convenient access to the tender and direct entry to the sea. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370306/image/large-72abf9864f7039956f9c72fcac686b0c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370306"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370304/image/large-f8d28de96063e2720bab79f5474d69b9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370304"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370305/image/large-472c462883764f84ec4a66583beb0fc4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370305">The Kingship 88 offers seamless integration from the crew quarters to the bridge, galley and crew mess, all of which are located on the main deck. The interior styling takes cues from high-end hospitality, with layouts designed to maximise comfort and spatial efficiency.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370308/image/large-951fd5ecc6bc2fd963cf8a04be7b428b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370308"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370303/image/large-29e2335654d2adab4fa9be8a1729029e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370303">Accommodation options include either a four‑stateroom layout for eight guests, featuring a full‑beam master suite, a full‑beam VIP, and two additional doubles; or a five‑stateroom arrangement for ten guests, comprising a VIP stateroom and four generously sized doubles.

However, under current regulations, she can be chartered with just one captain and one professional crew member.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370273/image/large-87d225c687488cd6ef25665ab5d0e480.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370273">With a maximum beam of 11.40-metres and a hull length of 23.98-metres spread across four deck levels, the KingCat 90 offers a high volume-to-length ratio that translates into generous interior and exterior living areas. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370268/image/large-83a317bfa0ab1bfa1afe5f7e231cb832.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370268">This is reflected in the master stateroom, which features generous proportions and a private balcony to port. Designed to maximise natural light and unimpeded views, the suite offers a level of space and comfort more commonly associated with a penthouse apartment than a typical yacht interior. She is complemented by four additional guest suites, all located on the main deck. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370269/image/large-31cd77e0635e6e32be998c00ec6bb3f8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370269"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370270/image/large-4bf3f20149e3670fa4e27806599a82be.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370270">The accommodation quarters connect to a central lobby and stairwell, leading to a full-beam aft deck composed of two sections. Her outermost section features a commercial-grade lifting platform that can be raised or lowered, providing direct access to the sea. This platform also serves as a safe and practical area for tender boarding or storage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/370272/image/large-7d3160e4d5e922785d1cbb920ab3fb83.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/370272">Her walkaround upper deck features an open-plan layout that includes the bridge and navigation area, a main dining table with seating for twelve, a TV lounge, and a separate bar.

In an attempt to offer die-hard sailing clients a ready-to-go sailing yacht to take around the world on long ocean voyages and off-the-beaten-track family adventures, Barracuda Yacht Design have developed a new 44-metre sloop with that exact function in mind. The project is built on the experience the studio has gained during the America’s Cup campaign and presents clients a well-designed and thought-out platform that is packed with next-level comfort, safety and storage features.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/41088/image/large-2ce5463e88edbff2442ca0727b7bd418.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/41088">Built for the long and open road, the Sailing Explorer not only offers a longer fuel range than other yachts in its size range but matches this ability with superior storage and livable spaces on board that are more suited to spending long periods at sea. Crew are also well taken care off in a large and spacious crew area with an engine room that comes with its own control room.When it comes to the sailing of the vessel, the crew and owner have indoor and outdoor steering positions to choose from depending on weather conditions. When sailing from the bridge inside the deckhouse, skylights above the wheelhouse still give a good view of the sail position. A self-tacking jib and furling gennaker and boom make for an easy-to-handle sail plan.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/41089/image/large-ac45be076dcfc700ff79a24b8bf3bb7a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/41089">A fixed keel and bulb below the waterline set the Sailing Explorer up for less maintenance on her travels into the unknown as well as a moderate draft for reliable access into some of the most exclusive cruising grounds around the world. In addition to the keel, water ballasts are incorporated into the sheer lines of the yacht that will help limit the ship's heel to around 10 degrees.Inside, guests have spacious cabins to retire to at the end of the day. Four guest staterooms can each be converted between a double and twin configuration with a full-beam master suite at the stern below the steering cockpit.

Barracuda Yacht Design’s new 44m Sailing Explorer superyacht concept

Last week we brought you a preview of Barracuda Yacht Design’s new 50 metre Pocket Explorer concept created by designer Iñigo Toledo. Today we can show you what goes on behind the scenes during such a project - the weeks and months before these designs get released to clients and the rest of the industry. In the following video, Toledo takes us through his design process step-by-step to better understand what it takes to create a modern day explorer yacht.

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aJdVFezjSpE" width="560"></iframe>

Designed as a ‘go-anywhere’ vessel able to reach the remotest of corners of the oceans in complete safety and luxury, the 50 metre Pocket Explorer stretches 9.40 metres across and draws a mere 2.30 metres below the waterline. The design is a mix between computer generated lines that is finished with a “human touch” as Toledo explains: “I find drafting by hand to be relaxing. It gives me time to think of how I would enjoy the yacht and how I would like to live on board. It also allows me to explore different styling options.”

The owner is provided with an exclusive owner’s deck with a certified helicopter landing pad located on the aft deck for seamless access to the unexplored world outside. Four additional guest staterooms are located on the main deck.

The aft beach deck can be opened on either side and leads out onto a wide swim platform. “There is nothing worse than losing contact with the sea as yachts get too large,” says Toledo.

The lower deck has been designed to only house the yacht’s technical and crew areas. This means less disturbances for guests, free movement for crew throughout the vessel, and larger crew cabins with a separate lounge and dining area. Toledo recognized the importance of providing crew with these essentials during the extended voyages that the Pocket Explorer will be capable of undertaking.

Behind the scenes: designing a modern day explorer yacht

Currently under development by Barracuda Yacht Design is a new 50 metre explorer yacht project. SYT will over the coming weeks be able to take you behind the scenes to reveal what goes in to creating such a design project by hand, but until then the following basic details will have to suffice.

New 65m Explorer superyacht by Barracuda Yacht Design

Turkish shipyard Mengi Yay has developed two new sailing yacht concepts with Barracuda Yacht Design. Measuring 31 metres and 40 metres, both the designs share certain attributes with each other, especially in regards to performance. This includes maximum waterline length hull forms, balanced rudders and deep bulb keels, as well as variable draft centreboards. Furthermore, both designs feature full carbon rigs and flexible sail plans, including self-tacking jibs, large overlapping genoas and furling booms.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154440/image/large-605858d2fc4361a706434eab1e771844.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154440">The Mengi Yay 31 metre concept accommodates guests in a four stateroom layout, including a spacious owner’s suite. The addition of an extra cabin for guests as opposed to the usual three cabin layout found on similar length yachts is a response of the Mengi Yay team to client feedback. She will also feature a spacious aft deck area.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154441/image/large-5879b47815f6c4dc59ca6fe744e96fea.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154441">The Mengi Yay 40 metre concept will include an impressively large full beam owner’s suite with access to a private terrace as well as swimming platform, offering the owner the ultimate privacy on board. Extra large windows will flood this area with natural light, creating a bright and airy ambiance.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/154442/image/large-068543309d6f40675e44aca08772415b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/154442">The tender will be stowed beneath the foredeck and is deployed via a pole attached to the mast. An additional 1.5 metre deep storage for deck furniture and water toys will be found in lazarette lockers situated underneath the terrace. She will be powered by engines of 1,200 hp, and will have a cruising speed of 12 knots.Explaining the design brief given to the studio from the shipyard, Barracuda Yacht Design comments, “The brief insisted upon universal appeal - well-balanced hulls with good looks that would transcend short-term fashion and survive the test of time. These had to be practical designs that could be built in a relatively uncomplicated and cost-conscious way. To this end, we included features such as symmetrical shape rooms – cabins, for example, that could be easily transformed from doubles to twins and back again. Rooms that could be designed built and maintained using common materials, components and fittings etc.”By Gemma Fottles
