Project WOW’s dynamic lines and functional space planning are based on a technical hull platform."The design was conceived to connect the exterior and interior seamlessly," explained Kristian Pascoli. "For example her interior, main deck aft and upper deck aft are connected by the void space creating dramatic vantage points. This can also be seen with her asymmetrical termination to the upper deck aft, which additionally offers more light for sunbathing by the pool on the deck below."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389934/image/large-7e682c4652bc70a30330635657eaedbc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389934"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389933/image/large-f8dddf0845e93296d3b23361e007c100.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389933">WOW draws inspiration from the feeling of looking into the sky, which Carla Guilhem describes as limitless, calm and deeply centering. Her designers prioritised natural materials and carefully selected finishes to minimise unwanted emissions and to create a healthier environment onboard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389936/image/large-32fe8af086948971c1942f1f12b16505.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389936"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389937/image/large-ec1374586e3a2fb9bfdc38637747a01e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389937">Inside, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6544" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Carla Guilhem (Company)">Carla Guilhem Design</a> has brought the luxurious interiors to life, described as ‘immersive, emotionally driven environments’. Organic shapes are featured throughout the yacht and she can accommodate up to 14 guests across seven well-appointed staterooms.&nbsp;Her aft-facing owner's suite is situated on the bridge deck with his-and-hers dressing and bathrooms and a private massage and a beauty room. The remaining staterooms consist of two sets of suites which can be combined to create larger VIP suites with a bedroom and sitting room to provide flexible arrangements. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389939/image/large-547bc95ee64178f331ae3c095a2caac4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389939"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389938/image/large-7fd5cfc9213538f05330ce8fa7c777f8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389938">"The inspiration for the interior is rooted in a sense of quiet transcendental most like stepping into a serene, elevated state of being," explained designer Carla Guilhem. "We intentionally moved away from strong contrasts, bold colours, and visually dominant forms. Instead, the design embraces softness, lightness, and a very refined neutrality. The goal was to create an environment that feels effortless and safe, where nothing competes for your attention."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389916/image/large-3259325f59c79f83a3e4805be1076b5a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389916"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389918/image/large-8084b9f715e802624f8876ff6684a116.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389918">Wellness highlights onboard the yacht are fully integrated for extended stays at sea, with advanced treatments and ‘intelligent environments’ designed for regeneration and recovery. These include hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cryotherapy, infrared sauna suites, Himalayan salt rooms, IV therapy and vitamin infusions, meditation and mindfulness pods and bespoke spa rituals.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389919/image/large-0b3af0c9db2336b1877fab40f6ce0c98.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389919"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389917/image/large-091f7b7576b125da40ab699808a2e988.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389917">“Collaborating on WOW allows us to explore new dimensions of yacht design,” commented Pascoli. “We are integrating performance, technology, and human-centered design in a way that has never been done before. It is a true evolution of what a yacht can be.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389920/image/large-05278554ae8f336d905203cd17dbb74f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389920"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389921/image/large-512cf0814b9004034d846e9a61cde8ee.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389921">The design studios also introduced what they describe as intuitive AI-driven living, where spaces onboard adapt in real time to each guest’s preferences. This enables personalised control of lighting, temperature, and ambience through predictive systems that anticipate guests’ needs in advance."Perhaps the most prominent external feature is her halo in way of the top deck/party deck," added Pascoli. "It houses disco lighting and &nbsp;speakers whilst also providing support for an awning on sunny &nbsp;days! The forward facing bar offers panoramic views whilst the sunken deck section is the perfect place for a DJ set up."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389923/image/large-52c7aa8ad036645a3f6da3712acc4f09.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389923"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389924/image/large-0b910821377afe7dd2484d265fa43009.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389924">To enhance sleep, energy, and cognitive performance, features include circadian lighting, low-EMF environments, HEPA air purification, and advanced climate systems. A wellness laboratory concept that incorporates diagnostics and data is also present onboard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389929/image/large-e6e271bb5f6c9aa99e1247871a9c77a7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389929">Her propulsion configuration will be up to a potential client’s decision, with the option for a hybrid propulsion system with two main engines on shafts and FPP Propellers. This will also include an electric PTO/PTI option for slow cruising and as a boost mode. The result is a cruising speed of 16.5 knots and a top speed of 18 knots. Alternatively, a full Diesel-Electric package with gensets and thrusters would also suit the arrangement.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/389925/image/large-43787e8ce1b38f9e1bcc734627bfece4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/389925">“WOW is about creating a new way of living on water,” concluded Guilhem. “It is no longer just about beauty or movement, it is about how space can heal, inspire and extend life. This project reflects a future where design becomes a tool for wellbeing."

Her spacious garage is able to store a <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4203" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Williams Performance Tenders (Company)">Williams</a> Sportjet 395 tender, and once launched opens up with more space.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272386/image/large-98fe8b1732021c54820bfc65bba04d83.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272386">Performance-wise, both yachts have been adjusted to meet the needs of their highly experienced owners. “The proven hull design and naval architecture platform allows us to offer the choice between a full or fast displacement vessel,” explained Yoeri Bijker.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272385/image/large-03c8c3c42d90d0992dba4cce4a6ff162.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272385">Project 111.11 will be a full displacement vessel with twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> 750 horsepower engines and a top speed of 14.4 knots.

It’s a highly efficient way of building that provides clients with exceptional freedom to customise their yacht above the waterline. Everything you see on the renderings for Project 111.11 and Project Samba has been chosen by the owners as they implement their own style and make a statement of personal taste,” concluded Yoeri Bijker.
