The main saloon is framed by structural columns clad in recycled nautical sailcloth, while her dining area features a sculptural table with a gear-shaped metal base and a wood top inlaid with pressed tobacco leaves. Surrounding chairs in curved wood are detailed with bronzed accents and ivory hammered leather, creating a design that defines the yacht’s onboard character. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395274/image/large-07e95344530c0eee52e87e2688e66a4b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395274"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395268/image/large-f299ae95b83285b23c4618adf9b45a9e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395268">At the centre of the space, two custom boomerang-shaped sofas in white chenille and dove-grey leather divide the lounge from the dining area. Functional elements are built into the space, with leather pockets and hidden storage beneath the cushions and a silk and wool rug below to mimic the branching forms of a river delta.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395269/image/large-33097a9ca9e6c34c4cc32279d71d40ee.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395269"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395241/image/large-4284b0e1b10280faac39b4b151cfb27c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395241">“It was important to us that every material told a story,” added Luca Boldrini. “Nothing is purely decorative.

Dubbed the “madame office”, it’s a celebration of colour and individuality. Aviation blue features prominently across her &nbsp;leather desk accessories, the raffia wallpaper-lined bookcases and the detailing on the bespoke desk chair. The desk itself has been built from natural oak with hammered bronze detailing and hand-decorated bases. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395253/image/large-bb140479538c8a4506bae73017d24d93.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395253"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395254/image/large-5e793d7ef69f3518e71bbf21af8bf775.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395254">The space is framed by decorative panels embroidered with three-dimensional orchids, while the carpet below mimics the foam of waves crashing against the shore. “This room isn’t just about work,” said Muzio. “It’s a sanctuary that is elegant, feminine and energising.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395245/image/large-284ab752d07f0ad0aedb80dc91cdfcca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395245"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395243/image/large-f86c36352a28f0139a957f94c6f0d1c3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395243"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395247/image/large-b01f9c97658c14ef17097059b8255de7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395247">Further guest areas onboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Akula59.4m (194'11&quot;)Rossinavi2024">Akula</a> reflect the same attention to comfort and flexibility. One twin guest stateroom features a smart sliding bed system, allowing it to convert into a double room when required. Both beds are fully integrated into the interior architecture, with upholstered headboards and matching bedside tables.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395286/image/large-dd88e00906e3d7dc5f5879418c1db72c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395286"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395281/image/large-72fc08138f6fded2245fdd6e8d821c7b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395281"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395270/image/large-8bd1fa3fbdf82252566d09841b782a68.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395270">Materials again take centre stage, with wallpapered ceilings, leather accents and roman blinds made from raffia interwoven with metallic threads, which catch the sunlight during the day. The custom-designed carpet, made from wool and botanical silk, continues the theme of nature-inspired texture.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395255/image/large-c01523280fe4b28a5db6c425c8580ede.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395255"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395256/image/large-fbdd6477754a5f740cacecd1a01dc54b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395256"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395273/image/large-8f0a1e7f851f1eee23463a9f44c9f0fd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395273">Even the guest bathrooms have their own storyline. Here, Francesca Muzio has embraced the romance of travel with a design inspired by vintage steamer trunks, complete with &nbsp;bronze hardware, leather handles and cabinetry in warm oak and dark European maple. The washbasins are finished in Imperial Beige marble, further enhancing the refined yet &nbsp;tactile atmosphere.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395298/image/large-c4367103fda7023f8b0c6d1f6e5f9451.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395298"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395264/image/large-766f12a14112b6d835f5c5a8cef4c5e5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395264"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395280/image/large-a5c5a8bf1fa763df6378a380e7f2b4f3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395280">Beneath her refined interiors, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Akula59.4m (194'11&quot;)Rossinavi2024">Akula</a> remains a highly capable expedition yacht. With hybrid propulsion, a large Limo Tender and dive/exploration tender housed in an aft garage and with a transoceanic range of over 8,000 nautical miles, she’s fully equipped for long-range adventure. On deck, guests can enjoy a full teppanyaki bar and a spa pool on the sundeck, &nbsp;while a generous beach club connects them directly to the water. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395276/image/large-32d1ccd66402dc067c5800e52a820bad.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395276"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395235/image/large-e7cd60bd765d93c89ab3737d38e3e61c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395235">“<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Akula59.4m (194'11&quot;)Rossinavi2024">Akula</a> is not defined by ruggedness alone.
