Kestrel: The 80m conversion superyacht concept by Bassan&Benedetti 

Italian builder <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Picchiotti (Company)">Picchiotti</a> has unveiled the first details of its 53-metre superyacht concept P53, developed by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5565" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The Italian Sea Group (Company)">The Italian Sea Group</a>'s Research &amp; Development Department and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Picchiotti (Company)">Picchiotti</a> Centro Stile. The concept inaugurates the shipyard's P-Fleet series, offering a contemporary interpretation of the historic Picchiotti brand, while remaining below 500 GT.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400402/image/large-629a01f1b1d53068e2ffcc21ae4e1e9d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400402">The P53 represents the latest evolution of the brand, signalling a departure from its more classically inspired Gentleman Fleet. The yacht embodies a more architectural design language that prioritises openness and flexibility, redefining contemporary living on the water with spaces that adapt to the modern explorer.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400401/image/large-2d914901251569fc76058ca561fd1aeb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400401">With a 10-metre beam, the vessel will be built with an aluminium hull and superstructure. According to the shipyard, the P53 has been conceived to combine generous onboard volumes with efficient operation, creating a yacht that balances privacy, comfort and long-range cruising.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400403/image/large-36bcc075c51630f0cecd5cfd074ecf08.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400403">Outside, P53 is defined by a near-plumb bow, a sweeping glazed superstructure and expansive dark glazing that seamlessly connect the decks. Spacious aft decks, uninterrupted walkaround side decks and generous lounge areas reinforce the yacht's emphasis on outdoor living, while a resort-style beach club with fold-down platforms extends into a waterside terrace, highlighting a swimming pool.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400405/image/large-4a99c6acfa5d31b71e87d9f9800ad71f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400405">The relationship between the yacht and the sea is central to the concept. The beach club, folding terraces, generous glazing and continuity between the interior and exterior are intended to create what the shipyard describes as "a concrete, physical and daily experience".<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400407/image/large-df6f37ceff582b3ba3416646a1eb6694.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400407">Inside, P53 embraces a warm, minimalist aesthetic of natural wood finishes, textured fabrics and sculptural furnishings with floor-to-ceiling windows letting in abundant natural. An open-plan main saloon revolves around a floating staircase, while the owner's suite benefits from direct access to a private courtyard-style terrace. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400406/image/large-daa53d1228baa068e244354e309f4f7c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400406">Designed for adaptability, the P53’s living spaces are able to meet the changing needs of the owner. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Picchiotti (Company)">Picchiotti</a> has seamlessly integrated areas for wellness, entertainment and relaxation, allowing the yacht to effortlessly flow between being a private retreat and a vibrant social space.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400404/image/large-8354e2677bb64acf4a596db00ac68776.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400404">Staying under the 500 GT threshold was a conscious design choice. This enables P53 to offer generous interior volumes without sacrificing efficiency or ease of handling, all while certifying guests feel truly connected to the sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400400/image/large-f8ca43db82233000306fc926c7ac9212.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400400">With an interior volume of 499 GT, accommodation onboard is arranged for up to 12 guests across six staterooms, alongside quarters for 10 crew members across five quarters.In terms of performance, the P53 is projected to propel at a top speed of 18 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots. At a speed of 10 knots, she is expected to offer a range of 4,000 nautical miles.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/71" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tony Castro (Company)">Tony Castro Yacht Design</a> has unveiled the 68-metre sail-assisted motor yacht concept Samy, developed around an integrated propulsion system. The overall result is designed to reduce fuel consumption, while maintaining the comfort and volume of a standard motor yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399580/image/large-adb2289392555d842e3918aad74a060f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399580">According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/71" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tony Castro (Company)">Tony Castro</a>, Samy, the ‘Sail-Assisted Motor Yacht’, has been created around "the most economical, intelligent propulsion solution" for a yacht intended to spend extended periods at sea.The 68-metre concept is centred around a system of inflatable sails and retractable masts, intended to preserve the yacht's exterior aesthetic while reducing windage, improving safety and minimising deck equipment.&nbsp;Her superstructure has been engineered to house booms capable of full 360-degree rotation. Moreover, rather than the rig being an added layer over a finished hull, the hull was drawn around the rig, resulting in a single integrated design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399582/image/large-d8226cf8ece3276b81e996b545112ec7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399582">According to the studio, the integrated sail-assist system enables Samy to complete long-distance passages using significantly less fuel than a conventional motor yacht. For a typical Mediterranean-to-Caribbean round trip, fuel savings are estimated at approximately 33,000 litres.&nbsp;As well as this, solar energy capture and modern windmills have also been incorporated into her superstructure, forming “a coherent energy architecture across the whole platform.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399581/image/large-8487be49110570ec02b3d4f684f85dec.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399581" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">As for outdoor living, the aft deck swimming pool on Samy serves as the exterior's centerpiece, complemented by generous lounge areas, alfresco dining, a Jacuzzi, and a fold-down beach club with direct water access.Stepping inside, the concept is designed to offer the interior volume and comfort of a motor yacht, despite its sail-assisted configuration. By integrating the propulsion system into the yacht's architecture, guest spaces remain spacious and uninterrupted while maintaining clean exterior lines.

In terms of performance, Project Quest uses a diesel-electric propulsion system, providing the explorer yacht with great autonomy and range.

According to the designer, this flexible material reduces overall weight while improving performance, enabling higher speeds with greater efficiency, and a low-slung profile that reduces drag while optimising navigation.Moreover, these sculptural forms are made possible by the use of the ductile material in creating pronounced curves, undercuts, overhangs, and cantilevers while maintaining structural efficiency.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398224/image/large-22fc13d38f01b6d1bb5ffc8f649cd647.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398224" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">With a layout designed to balance engineering and contemporary design, accommodation onboard the Amer 42A is arranged across a full-beam owner's suite on the main deck, alongside guest staterooms located on the lower deck.

Amer Yachts unveils “all-aluminium” Amer 42A superyacht

Paris-based design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8836" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AERI (Company)">Aeri</a> has unveiled the 60-metre superyacht concept, Aeon. While her exterior impresses with its sculpted form and dynamic silhouette, her interiors draw immediate inspiration from traditional Japanese ink painting, known as Sumi-e.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397900/image/large-25770025bec72332e78e089c1e6f4c78.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397900">This design language is echoed throughout the yacht, where a tapered stern and carefully sculpted hull give her a sense of movement even when at anchor. Her superstructure follows the same architectural philosophy, with each deck set slightly back from the one below, creating a series of spacious outdoor terraces while reducing the yacht’s visual bulk.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397905/image/large-7b0d07ff485db32e75db80d4dc5f6721.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397905">Inside, Aeon's main saloon is defined by expansive panelling and an understated aesthetic. Hand-painted Sumi-e-inspired panels, paired with a carefully curated palette of neutral tones and dark woods, create a serene atmosphere that runs throughout the yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397904/image/large-7f18429be1d53c258046583d94ef94e5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397904">At the centre of her main saloon, a low-profile L-shaped sofa in cream fabric anchors the space. Overhead, a striking ceiling feature combines illuminated panels with wood inlays, subtly echoing the Sumi-e inspiration. Carefully selected furnishings, including sculptural bar stools, enhance the sense of elegance, while sliding doors lead seamlessly to the adjacent outdoor dining and lounge areas.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397902/image/large-d828f08f688ddb4924bb3f89453ffe66.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397902"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397903/image/large-61472bc9b5dc00bd42d9f10dc2a9914f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397903">With owner privacy and flexibility in mind, Aeon's designer has presented several general arrangement options. She measures a beam of 10.5-metres and a gross tonnage of approximately 500 GT plus. Aeon offers either five or six guest cabins, alongside a variety of entertainment and lifestyle configurations, and is supported by crew accommodation in eight cabins.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397906/image/large-4a9069b84e00c7fea6d53c75c398727b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397906"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397899/image/large-269c5397b57b06bbe3c704364d4423f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397899">One layout features a dedicated private owner’s deck complete with a Jacuzzi and outdoor relaxation area. Forward, a larger swimming pool area enhances leisure space, while aft, an open discussion pit connects directly to an enclosed wellness area.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397901/image/large-ff3b63ffaedeb07159be13b1974dbb7a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397901">“Rather than relying on sheer scale for its presence, the concept seeks to demonstrate how carefully considered proportions, sculpted surfaces and architectural layering can create a yacht with a distinctive identity and a powerful visual character,” concluded the design studio.

Aeon: 60m yacht concept with traditional Japanese ink painting-inspired interiors

Independent designer Sanjit Nair has unveiled the 110-metre yacht concept Airavat. The yacht draws on traditional Indian architecture and Eastern character to present a new interpretation of contemporary superyacht design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397835/image/large-8ecee397953de6a34f0649093b7c1551.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397835">Conceived without the constraints of a specific gross tonnage category or yacht class, Airavat takes inspiration from monumental Indian temples, translating their structural expression, spatial layouts and craftsmanship into a contemporary yacht concept. According to the designer, the project marks a deliberate departure from the "glass-box" aesthetic prevalent across much of today's superyacht market.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397818/image/large-4a501bd7a2cc02b1897dd11e4ee1c309.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397818"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397817/image/large-ea64ebd61db0c46a90d599d1a10991bc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397817">Inspired by the mythical royal white elephant, the designer aims for the Airavat concept to move past the "glass-box" and “automotive” themes that currently dominate the superyacht market. Unburdened from the typical limitations of specific yacht tonnage, this concept was conceived to offer a fresh vision in the industry.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397836/image/large-f7bbcc3fc5f0fb968ffc0eb362903afa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397836"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397809/image/large-70e285713fb37f7cbe96be09c5aad23f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397809" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Rather than concealing the vessel's structural boundaries, designer Sanjit Nair incorporates the grandeur, massive scale, and intricate artistry of traditional Indian temple architecture, turning the yacht into a spiritual sanctuary at sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397812/image/large-5315c8defbbaf32c671d9fd60b0bb539.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397812">Reflecting on the project, Sanjit Nair added: "Superyacht design has hit a structural and spatial saturation point; vessels are beginning to mimic one another, losing their individual soul. Vision Juggernaut is how I want to add a different kind of value to yacht design. It is an expression of personal style and a form of adding an authentic Eastern character–defined by raw scale, monumental reverence and structural honesty– to the global stage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397829/image/large-0db7f57680934fa8302612781a57eae3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397829">In terms of defining features, Airavat showcases its exposed double-height structural pillars that support the superstructure. Rather than hiding these structural elements, the design celebrates the grandeur of traditional Indian stone columns to create a striking silhouette.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397830/image/large-b45ee2abe559d2df1ed9d63cc785df4c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397830" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Her aft deck has been conceived as a ceremonial arrival space, featuring a broad staircase descending to the swim platform alongside an 11-metre infinity pool. Inspired by the Varanasi Ghats along the Ganges River, the arrangement is intended to recreate the experience of approaching India's historic riverside steps.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397816/image/large-edfb7199b3e7509fe8046f04bab6a25b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397816" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Forward, the yacht's sculptural bow mimics the sweep of an elephant's trunk, while the hull and superstructure reference the star-shaped foundations of Karnataka's Keshava Temple. Meanwhile, a life-sized sculpture of the mythical white elephant Airavata stands prominently on the bow, reinforcing the yacht’s identity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397813/image/large-a4a30e7a838bd434bc6a6ecda2c06339.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397813"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397815/image/large-07fce8c614fd8943a271cff3fbf41a20.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397815">Airavat&nbsp;creatively reimagines ancient motifs as modern yacht elements. For instance, overhanging balconies inspired by Jharokha architecture serve as private viewing retreats overlooking the sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397827/image/large-0e53430bebfe5872bc16c1c5726f9017.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397827"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397828/image/large-1072cfe948d99771e1dbfa2d016acd4a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397828">Moving inside, the design creates an interplay of light and geometry: circular, Mandala-inspired teak decking aligns with an illuminated glass roof above the dining pavilion, capturing the &nbsp;"open-sky" architecture found in the Kopeshwar Shiva Temple.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397826/image/large-6612b1e51380b6bd0bb89d057ff19208.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397826">With a beam of 17-metres, Airavat features a centralised arrangement of interior living spaces intended to maximise onboard comfort and stability. The owner's deck incorporates a spacious aft lounge fitted with a custom diamond-shaped bar, while a grand central staircase leads to the bridge deck dining pavilion, set beneath the Mandala-inspired skylight.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397832/image/large-34732874166f334be26b3a63f8a246d3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397832">

Italian studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8392" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SY design (Company)">SY Design</a> has unveiled Kairos, a 52-metre motor yacht concept centred around a stronger connection between the guests and the surrounding sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397334/image/large-8796d9063db33dbbfbb5f54882d17b18.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397334">Designed to remain under the 500 GT threshold, Kairos is conceived to be built with a lightweight aluminum structure, with the intention of making the outdoors the heart of life onboard. The designer has noted that the concept carefully combines open, flowing spaces with floor-to-ceiling glazing and wide hull openings. Moreover, the layout is intended to draw in natural light to flood her interiors, frame breathtaking sea views, and create a seamless access to the water. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397336/image/large-42daf1825f66f137b146990641679193.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397336">Outside, Kairos is characterised by slender proportions and a modern profile that flows effortlessly from the bow to the stern.Her stern serves as one of the focal points of the project. A magnificent pool set at sea level becomes the part of the beach club area, crafted to deepen the connection between the guests and the ocean and expand the sense of openness across her decks. Reflecting the project's philosophy, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8392" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SY design (Company)">SY Design</a> explained that "the objective was not to maximise gross tonnage, but to maximise the owner's experience of the sea."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397335/image/large-e57a868a18e96191861bfc535940ba8c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397335">Wide lateral openings in the hull further extend the views, and invites abundant natural light to dance across the aft, resulting in a bright and open area. Above, her main deck cockpit has been envisioned as a terrace overlooking the sea. In this space, two opposing L-shaped sofas are arranged for mingling and casual lounging, &nbsp;while glass bulwarks preserve uninterrupted views of the horizon.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397337/image/large-8562659c5dd2fd32334132b65c354912.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397337">Ascending further, the yacht’s expansive 105-square-metre fly deck serves as a defining outdoor living area, offering space for socialising, entertaining and open-air dining.
