New superyacht concept Zeitgeist for next-generation yacht owners

New superyacht concept Zeitgeist for “next-generation yacht owners” 

Designing a superyacht that challenges industry norms requires not just creativity, but also a deep understanding of the market. This is precisely the approach taken by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6600" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Isola Corvus Ltd. (Company)">Isola Corvus</a>, when they conceived the idea for the Velarca 135—a 41-metre yacht that merges the allure of motor yachts with the elegance and sustainability of sailing yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326252/image/large-c00ed26e9e250bf40ef13dc2fe07429a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326252">SuperYacht Times sat down with founder Sami Lehtonen and Jarkko Härmälä of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6600" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Isola Corvus Ltd. (Company)">Isola Corvus</a> to find out more about the inspiration behind the Velarca 135 sailing yacht concept and the future plans for the company.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216497/image/large-3d9dd95f0c4dd4f965ac0f5c0ea44a80.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216497">The Velarca 135 yacht was first unveiled in 2022 as a sailing yacht that combines luxury with style and most importantly, takes into account the growing demand for sustainable yachting. Reflecting on the origins of the Velarca 135 concept, Sami revealed that the idea emerged on a sunny day in August 2021 in Helsinki’s Kaivopuisto Park. Accompanied by an advertising agency and several bottles of champagne, the team were spurred by a bold vision. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/242232/image/large-8fd4ddc1c0153b0949334960523201b4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/242232">“We knew that motor yachts dominate the superyacht market with over 90 percent market share, which also means they produce most of the greenhouse gas emissions. So, we decided there and then to start selling sailing yachts to the motor yacht clientele,” Sami explained. This marked not only the birth of Velarca 135 but also the formation of a business model that would allow <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6600" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Isola Corvus Ltd. (Company)">Isola Corvus</a> to enter the superyacht market, without a designer or shipyard already in place.One of the cornerstones of the Velarca 135 design is sustainability, a principle that Sami was determined to uphold without compromising on luxury. “Sustainability is a tricky word,” elaborated Sami. “Many luxury products have a longer lifespan because they are valuable, beautiful, and timeless. This longevity contributes to true sustainability.” He pointed out that while well-built sailing yachts already have low emissions, the motor yacht segment presents an opportunity for significant improvement. “We believe that longer lifespans combined with reduced emissions provide a solid foundation for improved sustainability.”&nbsp;Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/55970" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Isola Corvus on the inspiration behind its 41m sailing yacht concept Velarca 135 (2022-09-23 10:00:00 +0200)">Isola Corvus on the inspiration behind its 41m sailing yacht concept Velarca 135</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/242234/image/large-51b335bc454fd0d4239d88589eae3888.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/242234">Merging motor yacht features with sailing yacht designThe Velarca 135 is not just a sailing yacht; it’s a hybrid that incorporates key features typically found on motor yachts, such as an expansive beach club and a streamlined profile. When asked about the design process, Sami recounted the strategic decisions that guided the yacht’s development. “We consulted well-known yacht brokers in the Mediterranean to understand what their customers prefer in terms of yacht size and amenities. We also prioritised safety and simplicity, ensuring that even a less experienced crew could manage the yacht with ease.” The design was then handed over to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/164" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Beiderbeck Designs (Company)">Beiderbeck Designs</a>, who were given full artistic freedom. “In my opinion, the result was not only quite clever and practical, but also very pretty,” Sami added.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216494/image/large-d23ae9f9a161e73b660e7a5c5bafcac6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216494">The Isola Corvus vision and challengesAs a relatively new player in the superyacht industry, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6600" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Isola Corvus Ltd. (Company)">Isola Corvus</a> brings a fresh perspective, heavily influenced by Sami’s background in offshore racing. “We dared to do what we wanted without asking too many questions,” Sami explained, reflecting on the fearless approach that has driven the company forward. One significant innovation influenced by Sami’s racing experience was the rig design. “I was never a fan of the Chinese gybes, as the boom had the potential to cause damage or injury by slamming from side to side when jibing; so I wanted to eliminate the risks of this happening completely. The Velarca rig is simply a boomless, rope free, two masted solution, with two rolling and self-tacking jibs on each mast and a third jib in an inverted position between the two masts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216499/image/large-e6b6b2919ec59af2b44f6642ef4ec58f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216499">Despite their innovative spirit, the journey hasn’t been without challenges. “We didn’t have a designer or shipyard partner in the beginning, both of which are must-haves to even launch a design,” Sami admitted. However, a fortunate connection with Finnish superyacht hydraulics entrepreneur Nadine Proctor opened doors, leading to a partnership with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/164" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Beiderbeck Designs (Company)">Beiderbeck Designs</a>. “By January 2022, the design was ready to launch,” Sami recalled. The next challenge was finding a suitable shipyard, a process that ultimately led them to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5728" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Knierim Yachtbau (Company)">Knierim Yachtbau</a> in Germany, known for their expertise in building lightweight sailing yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216493/image/large-b5f0be620cd828b3d8d58c4e1938e36a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216493">“Velarca is structurally more challenging to build than a motor yacht, so the shipyard must have experience in building demanding lightweight sailing yacht designs,” Sami explained. He also highlighted Knierim’s involvement in the wind power industry as an added benefit that aligns with their sustainability goals.&nbsp;However, marketing a yacht that blurs the lines between motor yachts and sailing yachts presents its own set of challenges. Sami remains optimistic that the industry will eventually create a new category for such crossover yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/216498/image/large-29b199b0e1cba3a4051ab412d7aadfa4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/216498">The future of sailingLooking ahead, Sami sees potential for the superyacht industry to follow the commercial shipping sector’s lead in adopting sail-assisted designs and alternative fuels like methanol. “The commercial sector can’t afford to over-engineer but seeks straightforward solutions to bring down emissions. The superyacht sector, however, seems more willing to experiment with alternative fuels,” Sami observed. He believes that the industry will eventually recognise the value of sailing and sail-assisted designs as viable solutions for reducing emissions.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6600" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Isola Corvus Ltd. (Company)">Isola Corvus</a> is already planning its next project, though details remain tightly under wraps. “Offering something different is paramount to us because we are still far from being a household name in this industry.

Velarca 135: Bridging the gap between motor yachts and sailing yachts

SYT finds out more about the inspiration behind the Velarca 135 sailing yacht concept by Isola Corvus.

The superyacht is presented in two styles: an explorer version named Phobos and a navetta-style yacht named Deimos.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326276/image/large-83bd4e18b9a356ee6951c2e376c56f0f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326276">Named after the moons of Mars to suggest the potential for long-range travel, Phobos is conceived as an explorer yacht, while Deimos, distinguished by its white livery, offers a more elegant navetta style. Both versions are built on the same construction platform and feature similar interior layouts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326277/image/large-1a68a9fa4e08ccf27866d6aaafea2a01.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326277">Reflecting on the design of the new concept, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1190" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gian Paolo Nari (Company)">Gian Paolo Nari</a> explained: "The initial idea was to create a vessel with exceptional autonomy and a design that avoids unnecessary ornamentation while retaining distinctive and recognisable lines.

A dumbwaiter ensures convenient service between the main deck and the sun deck, with a stop at the pantry on the upper deck.The Navetta version also features a second pool, with a sunbathing area located at the aft of the main deck, overlooking the beach area at the stern.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326280/image/large-84581c735c7035895a96683f65a21cc7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326280">Regarding accommodation, the yacht offers four staterooms on the lower deck, comprising two guest cabins and two VIP suites. An additional guest suite on the upper deck brings the total capacity to 12 guests. The full-beam owner's stateroom is located forward on the main deck, spanning over 37-square-metres, with a 12-square-metre terrace providing views on both sides of the vessel.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326281/image/large-15b6933c0f4057595eac4a09c772591d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326281">The crew is accommodated in the forward section of the lower deck, with three double rooms accessible via dedicated stairs that ensure completely separate pathways from the guest areas.

Drawing inspiration from ‘Mother Nature’, the superyacht’s beach club sports coral motifs along with Zen undertones. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326047/image/large-fe1013cf73e53b81a3ec0c5603edd6bc.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326047">This lazarette is decked out in a futuristic, floating staircase, as well as an expansive heated pool. In addition to her mosaic pool, Fú boasts a bespoke outdoor shower integrated into her structure for guests to take in the surrounding scenery as they rinse off. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326046/image/large-fdaded265cb1d35dfe2899690d613738.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326046"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326039/image/large-acc83d677c6a3848f48f14a59658bb84.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326039">Fú’s exterior design strives to maximise the sea views by stripping her profile of the usual structures present in a superyacht of her size. Instead, the midship structural support reflects a Japanese Ukiyo-e style, with wooden cut panel inserts and hidden storage allowing for practicality alongside aesthetic harmony.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326041/image/large-a7dae750dab084b4175c48c4e73988c3.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326041"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326031/image/large-bf558886b5ab1d37377f0d40765cefee.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326031">Moreover, the vessel’s minimalistic main deck includes lounging and dining arrangements flanked by boundless views. As for the main deck aft, a skylight embedded in the ceiling of this section bathes the social hub in an abundance of natural light.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326040/image/large-0ae6f211ff400186d3627570c8996037.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326040"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326038/image/large-2146caf32bb347cba74fe33248c86c2b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326038"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326028/image/large-361b79586f01dbf586d51c3e27370a74.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326028">Fú’s bow area is inspired by the rich cruising grounds of the Greek islands, which allowed for a serene, white, glassy area dedicated to peace and serenity”, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7845" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fancy by Dada (Company)">Studio Fancy by Dada</a> explains. The bridge deck aft area showcases three interactive lounges, two of which are triple sided, with a bar aft of the saloon paving the way for social events.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326050/image/large-60455cfe7ff080f28d98d8854f31837e.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326050">Moving indoors, the main deck saloon onboard Fú centres around a pale-coloured, sunk-in seating area and mini atriums. Staying true to the yacht’s thematic minimalism, the saloon is free of the usual storage units, which are instead positioned in the foyer. Meanwhile, the foyer sports artistic flairs, such as wooden panels laser cut in the style of French post-impressionist Paul Cézanne’s widely recognised landscape painting. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326051/image/large-2cece0ba3ba2c9bd09ed38fa09a066db.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326051"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326048/image/large-02bf0486efcf2a60164dc06d2b111f84.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326048">Accommodation-wise, Fú’s lofty master suite is home to a strikingly large, 3.5-metre by 2.5-metre family-sized bed suitable for co-sleeping. Additionally, the stateroom contains a spa-like ensuite bathroom, with a spacious open shower and private toilet areas. The yacht also offers accommodation for a total of 10 guests onboard, as well as nine crew members.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326049/image/large-a0d81b83c7ad83da05b222e875d4e9df.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326049"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326037/image/large-dd296c3e58091d522a75607369732d9e.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326037">

Meanwhile, refit revenues stood at €22.6 million, consistent with the previous year's figures. It is noteworthy that refit revenues typically experience seasonal fluctuations, often accelerating in the latter half of the year.The total value of the order book for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5565" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The Italian Sea Group (Company)">TISG</a>, encompassing both new yacht constructions and refit projects yet to be delivered, stands at &nbsp;€1.323 billion.
