Design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4462" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ThirtyC Design (Company)">ThirtyC</a> has unveiled the first details of a new 55-metre superyacht concept, ION. According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4462" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ThirtyC Design (Company)">ThirtyC</a>, the new design has been engineered to lead in both form and philosophy, with a proposed alternative nuclear propulsion option available. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/384947/image/large-b7cff04a3d5da3912837eebedf28c29a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/384947">ION features a defining vertical bow, which enhances both her aesthetics, as well as her efficiency and seakeeping abilities. According to her designers her purposeful profile projects authority and reinforces her modern identity.“We approached ION as an architectural object on the water,” explained <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4462" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ThirtyC Design (Company)">ThirtyC</a>’s Creative Director Rob Armstrong. A key feature in ION’s design is her impressive duplex-style aft saloon, which provides two levels of entertainment and relaxation space onboard. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/384949/image/large-a430a3c203ddae1d217f21225233f8d6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/384949">Combined with expansive glazing, her saloon is elevated, creating a feeling of openness and an light-filled environment. The overall atmosphere offers guests a refined balance of privacy, scale and connection to the ocean.“Her vertical bow, duplex aft saloon and the clarity of her profile all come from a desire to create presence through proportion, not excess,” added Armstrong.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/384951/image/large-6daa0ee2775fdb2cd28c1036b83c874f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/384951">Characterised by clean lines and contemporary materials, ION’s interior prioritises space, light and comfort. She boasts generous guest accommodation, panoramic lounges and flexible leisure areas that ensure she is suited for both private use or charter.In terms of propulsion, the concept has been presented with the option to integrate the Unity nuclear power system developed by NOxFree. The system is described as enabling operation without greenhouse gas emissions and without the need for conventional refuelling. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/384950/image/large-4f317f70875a55fc109ba2ed7cfbfe83.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/384950">“The NOxFree Unity Module enables ION to operate without refuelling or emissions, while maintaining the highest standards of safety and efficiency,” explained Lydia Moss of NOxFree. “It’s a decisive step toward a cleaner, more autonomous future for yachts over 40 metres.”While the propulsion system remains conceptual, the inclusion of nuclear technology is positioned as a discussion point within the project. Regulatory, operational and classification considerations have not yet been detailed.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/384952/image/large-edc42f4e58a2bf82525ee6883f19d89a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/384952">“ION represents a shift in what a superyacht can be,” concluded <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4462" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ThirtyC Design (Company)">ThirtyC</a>. “Powerful yet composed, luxurious yet responsible, she is uncompromising in her pursuit of innovation.”

Royal Huisman unveils 88m superyacht Project Lotus

UK-based ThirtyC Design Studios have released their latest 53-metre superyacht concept. Set to include radical design features such as a glazed roof and double height saloon, the superyacht concept is reportedly targeting the ‘younger generation’ of yachtsmen. &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/47331/image/large-a0f7da055f12360de8fb0812facd8be4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/47331">Developed with the aim of offering guests the flexibility of cruising anywhere, the glazed roof aboard project Komodo slides back to reveal a viewing platform. The freethinking design also includes ceiling windows running across the aft of the superstructure which brings more natural light inside.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/47322/image/large-2f46111d7b823c0dd97affd746895dbb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/47322">“Komodo is aimed at a more relaxed lifestyle,” says ThirtyC Design Director, Alastair Fletcher. “There are many features designed to open up the interior space as well, removing tired or formal boundaries associated with compartmentalised living.”<img src="/uploads/store/photo/47320/image/large-400c11ecf3065a91543fa05aec38f712.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/47320">The design studio revealed a few exceptional design elements, including a mezzanine dining area in the double-height saloon, a central atrium, jacuzzi, and large beach club with a movable transom door. Exterior highlights include biomimetic styling - meaning the designers have incorporated elements of the natural world into the yacht’s design. Extending from the semi-displacement hull are hydraulic doors which open to reveal a tender garage with room for two tenders plus two jet skis and one door further forward which opens up the onboard gym to the sea breeze. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/47324/image/large-54927218377c85a39ce936f09a70095b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/47324">Komodo will welcome ten guests across five spacious staterooms, including a well-appointed forward-facing owner’s cabin on the main deck and four guest accommodations each with en-suite facilities. Furthermore, the crew spaces aboard Komodo are spacious and include an upper-deck captain's cabin, so that he/she is near the bridge at all times.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/47314/image/large-ffe613d7ea188ed5a28fa41d6dc1b29f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/47314">Previous ThirtyC concepts include the 50-metre Mako, which features an interior design from the drawing boards of Baldwin Harris. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/47312/image/large-7bc3aabf7702ebaaa4ae0da2e2dbf067.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/47312">

The top superyacht designs of 2015

British design studio ThirtyC Design has announced their latest project, a 50 metre motor yacht called Mako. The studio teamed up with Baldwin Harris, who created the interior, to design a yacht with a dramatic exterior utilising large areas of glass that has been blended with contemporary entertaining spaces and a relaxed interior.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155470/image/large-5c3f4f1109f5a323846d792f73eb36f5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155470">A unique exterior feature, that also has a dramatic effect on the interior guest area, is the use of a full height glass panel forward, providing a floor to ceiling view from within the master cabin. This area can alternatively be designed to be the main dining room, moving the owners cabin to the deck above with an added private terrace facing aft.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155471/image/large-f710c740474939288686b73c4d4812a0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155471">The yacht will offer accommodation for ten guests, with four guest cabins on the lower deck, each with large windows providing excellent views and light into the cabin. The yacht will also feature a full beam beach club, complete with a lounge area, bar and changing facilities.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155472/image/large-2d189b5f2d711f19f12ec7b27ce0022c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155472">The sundeck also has the option of being altered in design to suite the client’s taste, with a sheltered bar area and separate day head, or as an enclosed gym, with day head and changing facilities. In both layouts, the forward area of the sun deck provides a large sun bathing area with Jacuzzi.By Charl van Rooy
