The superyacht Opal&nbsp;is christened after a gemstone, particularly one that is associated with protective forces, bringing about positivity and optimism. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330010/image/large-12910e892c203f8f0f122e25e301c33c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330010">Project Opal makes use of Dutch designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/102" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mulder Design (Company)">Mulder'</a>s high-speed cruising hull, intended to offer either efficiency or to exceed hull speed by as much as 30 percent, depending on the engine package selected by clients. In addition, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/102" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mulder Design (Company)">Mulder Design</a> combine their modern naval architecture with a timeless but contemporary exterior silhouette. &nbsp;“With the exterior styling, what we have aimed to achieve is a look that appeals to a lot of &nbsp;people and therefore isn’t something too crazy, and which mirrors current trends in a way that &nbsp;isn’t so super-modern it would date quickly,” says Bas Mulder, Owner at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/102" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mulder Design (Company)">Mulder Design</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330012/image/large-c234c5c63075085900c47713b049d6ef.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330012">“The core attributes are calm and elegant lines that work in harmony with the marine &nbsp;environment rather than screaming for attention,” Mulder adds. “The project’s organic lines &nbsp;follow the flow of waves and clouds, and the yacht looks like she was sculpted by the wind. &nbsp;Further, the considered use of materials and colours with wood, glass and metal elements add &nbsp;to the clean design.”Piraye Şahıṅ kaya Orhun, Managing Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2013" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ARES Yachts (Company)">Ares Yachts</a>, comments: “Project Opal&nbsp;is a very good looking &nbsp;yacht which we think will appeal to a lot of people – and we would be able to deliver &nbsp;her in 36 months, which is exceptional for a fully custom 70-metre superyacht.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330011/image/large-524c7ca9b1e8994ce93645747c38ca79.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330011">Project Opal's layout includes several signature <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/102" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mulder Design (Company)">Mulder Design</a> features, such as flared bulwarks forward on the upper two decks. These bulwarks not only improve vision for the bridge wing stations up &nbsp;top, but also make for an extended deck area around the owner’s suite, which is positioned forward on the upper deck.&nbsp;The yacht's provisional general arrangement also displays a guest Sky Lounge aft, which has the potential to be replaced by a large private owner area that occupies the entire upper deck, complete with large aft deck and forward cockpit lounge.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330014/image/large-ccae68c8ce3d8ae57592a82bf6a8814f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330014">Meanwhile, this arrangement sees a lower deck primarily dedicated to the crew and crew cabins, main galley, and technical aspects of the vessel. On the main deck forward, six guest double staterooms with elevated sea views can be found.Moving to the main deck aft, guests are welcomed by a saloon and dining area that lead to a multi-zone aft deck with a bar, opportunities for alfresco dining, and an aft lounge area. The top deck is home to the wheelhouse and the captain’s cabin as well as an aft sundeck &nbsp;area. The yacht also offers a unique observation deck located in front of the mast, which houses a spa pool.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330013/image/large-62898e8ba2a6547094a86e900e112c91.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330013">Those onboard can also take advantage of a spacious beach club in the stern with glass doors leading out onto the &nbsp;swim platform, which offers water access via to a large transformer platform. The yacht's selection of tenders and toys are found in a traverse garage, while the foredeck functions as a touch-and-go helipad for arrival and departure.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330015/image/large-d3bac88693e1a5f403ec33151859aa97.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330015">“This will be a one-off project, and what makes it extra special is the fast delivery time thanks to &nbsp;our experience as a large shipyard and our sterling reputation,” says Şahıṅ kaya Orhun. “We estimate four months for finalising the GA and the superstructure architecture, and 32 months to complete the build, which is an exceptional delivery time for a custom 70-metre project. It will be built to commercial specification and there is potential for various propulsion options, including Voith Linear Jets if performance in the mid-20-knot range is required, or hybrid and even full electric propulsion packages.”“The combination of advanced hull naval architecture and contemporary superstructure &nbsp;with Ares Yachts’ capability to deliver the highest standards of construction and finish makes &nbsp;this the perfect yacht for effortless, efficient cruising in understated luxury,” Mulder concludes. “We &nbsp;think a lot of people will be excited by the project, and we are looking forward to meeting with &nbsp;prospective clients and to building the yacht of their dreams.”

However, the progressive involvement of the owner brought a refreshing renewal to the project. Now, the design looks elegant yet informal, simple yet refined. The main idea was to reduce the number of lines in the design to make them stronger, combining round and straight elements.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327892/image/large-3c5274b97b738f39e1d819146685d566.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327892"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327893/image/large-3b78f9cdc2b77d4dc9c66701acba23d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327893">The result is a collection of round frames that reference classic yacht designs, as well as “rational” and comfortable indoor living areas. Dose collaborated with NB111’s owner to choose a selection of natural-toned materials, including blonde walnut, earthy fabrics and marble, settling on no more than five materials per space. “This excellent design result was also greatly supported by the incredible volume of the interiors, which are comparable to a 38-metre yacht, thanks to the generous beam of 8.24-metres,” Dose adds.Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/59110" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Meet designer Paolo Dose: Founder of VYD Studio (2023-11-15 14:00:00 +0100)">Meet designer Paolo Dose: Founder of VYD Studio</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327896/image/large-0f62c1d6928d166463ae12a8d3f003c6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327896"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/59110" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Meet designer Paolo Dose: Founder of VYD Studio (2023-11-15 14:00:00 +0100)"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327895/image/large-b525466c26770b328d703d00276c79f7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327895"></a>Performance-wise, NB111 is powered by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> engines with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4531" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="International Maritime Organization (Company)">IMO</a> Tier III certification in line with the most recent emission regulations.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a> has partnered with design firm <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7890" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mario Biferali Yacht Design (Company)">Mario Biferali Yacht Design (MBYD)</a> to unveil the 150-metre conversion ‘Nacht®’ concept Project Antos. On display during the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2024">Monaco Yacht Show 2024</a>, the new project fuses the functionality of commercial shipping vessels, with the luxury of yachting to create a unique and functional design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/332637/image/large-c5ccae44ac9b9e13566a8accabe4787f.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/332637">The term ‘Nacht®’ blends the words Naval and Yachting, symbolising the fusion of two traditionally separate industries – commercial shipping and luxury yachting. The first ‘Nacht’ design, Project Antos, is a groundbreaking conversion project of a 150-metre shipping container, which has been reimagined with sleek minimalism and cutting-edge features.“Antos is a creative solution that reflects what a growing number of owners are looking for in their yachts: something that can adapt to the demands of private life, family time, remote work, philanthropy and adventure,” explained designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7890" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mario Biferali Yacht Design (Company)">Mario Biferali</a>.With an estimated 10,630 GT of internal volume, Project Antos aims to retain the simplicity and purity of its previous life as a container ship, while adopting an expansive new layout to enhance onboard living.Characterised by a sleek and modern profile, Project Antos features an elongated superstructure and bow, with clean, sharp lines that are enhanced by her large cut-out windows. Her defining feature is her central tower, which rises above the deck to create a functional and aesthetic centrepiece, reminiscent of her shipping heritage. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/332639/image/large-406ced7ed892388df58b904a75947a7a.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/332639">Spanning three decks, Project Antos’ tower acts as the owner’s private sanctuary, offering 360-degree views and access to an exclusive sun deck. Remaining guest accommodation consists of VIP suites and guest staterooms, while children and nanny staterooms can be connected, with a play area and media room providing extra entertainment.The yacht also provides ample space for crew, with accommodation for 54 crew members in 27 cabins. The captain is housed in a private cabin on the bridge deck, ensuring the highest level of service for both the owner and guests.In terms of exterior space, Project Antos is divided into distinct areas, with her foredeck configured for entertainment. The deck includes a heli-deck for large helicopters, wind-protected sports courts, an expansive swimming pool raised on a podium, a double sit-up bar and multiple lounging areas.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/332638/image/large-28dc6cabffba1c80c47edaeecde11a30.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/332638">For added convenience, staterooms on the lower deck are accessible from the foredeck, while high bulwarks provide both privacy and protection. Meanwhile, the aft deck is transformed into a social lounge, ideal for hosting large groups or more intimate gatherings. A staircase from the aft deck leads to an elevated terrace, shaded by a rotating bladed awning that offers optional cover.According to designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7890" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mario Biferali Yacht Design (Company)">Mario Biferali</a>, Project Antos is designed with today’s yacht owners in mind, offering a wide range of onboard amenities. These include a full-beam gym, a double-height sports court, a Pilates and yoga room, and a fully-equipped wellness area complete with a sauna, hammam, beauty salon, and treatment rooms.&nbsp;The yacht also includes a cinema and media room for evening entertainment, with many living spaces adaptable for purposes such as scientific research, remote working, or philanthropic activities.“Named after the ancient Greek word for ‘flower’, Antos embodies a new beginning for this converted vessel; a fresh shot of life that gracefully conquers the sea,” concluded <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7890" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mario Biferali Yacht Design (Company)">Mario Biferali</a>.

31m Platinum motor yacht Romantica on the market 

It’s not every day that one has the opportunity to visit shipyards in the Far East, especially in China. In June, the inaugural SuperYacht Times <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/events/asia-pacific-summit-2024-2024" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Asia-Pacific Summit</a> in Hong Kong provided a perfect occasion to explore regional shipyards and marinas. Recently, the Asia-Pacific region has been increasing its share in the construction of yachts over 30-metres in length.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/332002/image/large-fea235340d9ae4c2209734e97934a880.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/332002">During the summit, SuperYacht Times' Head of Intelligence, Ralph Dazert, presented the <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/market-reports/asia-pacific-superyacht-market-report-2024" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Asia-Pacific Market Report 2024</a>, which outlined this trend. According to the report, as of the beginning of 2024, builders from the Asia-Pacific region accounted for 509 out of the 5,787 operating yachts over 30-metres worldwide, representing a share of 8.8%. This positions the region as the third-largest superyacht construction area globally, following Europe (including Turkey) and North America. Moreover, over the past decade, the share of builders from the Asia-Pacific region has increased to 9.9%, with these builders delivering 159 out of the 1,604 yachts completed between 2014 and 2023. As a result, the region now ranks second after Europe, as the influence of North America has declined.SuperYacht Times Features writer Enrico Chhibber recently visited <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a> at their facilities in Zhuhai, China, just before the commencement of the Summit. After a pick up in Hong Kong, Enrico met with Fiona Li, the head of marketing at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a>, and was driven across the border towards Zhuhai.&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/332001/image/large-5cd01e6d8d238d387a69cdc8691186e9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/332001">Cheoy Lee</a> is one of the oldest family-run shipyards in the Asia-Pacific region, with a storied history. Originally founded in 1870 by the Lo family in China, the company relocated to Hong Kong in the 1930s. While the company maintains its head office and a small repair yard in Kowloon, Hong Kong, it relocated its construction facilities from Penny’s Bay to Zhuhai, China, in 1996. Since then, the Penny’s Bay site has been transformed into what is now Hong Kong's Disneyland.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/220646/image/large-5477a925a390ad705be09ae7d33a0b6e.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/220646"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a> has constructed numerous innovative yachts and was one of the first shipyards in the region to use fibreglass, notably on the 39.78-metre motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3836" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nataly39.78m (130'6&quot;)Cheoy Lee1978">Nataly</a> (formerly Shango II), which was the largest fibreglass yacht ever built at the time of her construction in 1978. However, the yard's expertise extends beyond fibreglass; it also works extensively with steel and aluminium. Among the well-known superyachts constructed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a> are the 46-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2621" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Avalon46.0m (150'11&quot;)Cheoy Lee2011">Avalon</a> and the 45-metre explorer yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2307" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Limited Risks45.0m (147'8&quot;)Cheoy Lee2007">Limited Risks</a> (formerly Marco Polo).Upon our arrival at the shipyard, we were warmly greeted by Martin Lo, the Director, and his nephew, Hans Lo, the Deputy Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a>. Hans represents the fifth generation of his family to work at the company. They escorted us to the main meeting room, where Martin shared his background in yachting. Born into a shipbuilding family, his career path seemed a natural progression. He emphasised the importance of a family-run shipyard to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a>'s identity. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/247078/image/large-b55615fc33411404935e67ddb8b13459.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/247078">In late 2018, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a> underwent a strategic restructuring. The company's luxury production arm was rebranded as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6398" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CL Yachts (Company)">CL Yachts</a>, while larger custom builds continued under the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a> brand. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a> shipyards are focused on the production of commercial vessels, including offshore supply vessels, tugs, and ferries.Regarding the production ratio between commercial and pleasure yachts, Lo stated that at present it stands at 85% commercial projects and 15% pleasure craft. As for the yachts currently under construction, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a> has two explorer motor yachts in the pipeline: the 39.73-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10701" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee 130 Explorer39.73m (130'4&quot;)Cheoy Lee2024">Cheoy Lee 130 Explorer</a> and the 32.76-metre Cheoy Lee 107. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/332003/image/large-040340f503dfd284944242680f218609.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/332003">Lo then explained that the city of Zhuhai and the surrounding area has developed into a hub for the production and refit of commercial vessels. Additionally, he mentioned that some local shipyards have recently started to venture into yacht construction.When asked about the state of the domestic yacht market, Lo explained that the majority of yachts built in China are intended for international markets. He specified that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/517" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee (Company)">Cheoy Lee</a>'s primary clientele has traditionally been in North America, with additional clients in Europe. In 2022, the company broadened its international footprint by appointing a dealer in Australasia, SE Asia, Hong Kong and Middle East. .<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/182372/image/large-00a4e228745d20b66ec42741673de3d5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/182372">As we commenced the tour of the facilities, we viewed several commercial projects along with the 39.73-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10701" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cheoy Lee 130 Explorer39.73m (130'4&quot;)Cheoy Lee2024">Cheoy Lee 130</a>, currently under construction for a returning client.
