Finalist of the prestigious Young Designer of the Year Award is Lorenzo Berselli, with his 55 metre sailing yacht concept, Project GoWide. She accommodates her guests over five luxurious rooms all located on the lower deck, including the large owner’s suite with private access to the beach area.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152822/image/large-7e8436dcfaf7b71e7f3009b4afa79af5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152822">One of the most notable characteristics of the sailing yacht is the 115 m2 full beam saloon located on the main deck, with full height windows on each side. Not only does this floor the area with natural light, but the placement of the saloon also allows guests on board to reach the bow from the aft cockpit by walking directly through the sun deck.Her outside areas are equally impressive. The cockpit area offers a shaded dining area for up to ten guests, as well as a large swimming pool. Moving on to the sundeck, the area is covered in comfortable sunpads to enjoy sunbathing and the ultimate relaxation. Storage for a 7 metres and 5 metres tender is also found on board.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152823/image/large-188e4403069b0320921709e7c4c54c6f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152823">Discussing his inspiration behind Project GoWide, Berselli told SuperYacht Times that he looked to the automotive industry. He says, “While designing the exterior lines, in particular the shape of the main deck side windows, I was inspired by an awesome concept car of the 70s: the Lancia Stratos 0 by Bertone.”GoWide was just one of six finalists for the prestigious Young Designer of the Year Awards. The winner was announced on the 23rd February during the Superyacht Design Symposium in Kitzbühel, Austria, and was awarded to Timur Bozca, for his superyacht concept Cauta.By Gemma Fottles

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2013" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ARES Yachts (Company)">Ares Yachts</a> has shared the details of their new 54-metre explorer yacht concept called Atlas, which is developed for “intrepid owners to explore the world in style”, according to the Turkish shipyard.&nbsp;At a volume of just under 500 GT, Atlas features exterior lines designed by Italian design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/908" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hot Lab (Company)">Hot Lab</a>, which is part of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6755" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Viken Group AB (Company)">Viken Group</a>, while her naval architecture is penned by the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen</a> team in the Netherlands.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/332532/image/large-f6515f28be15e4fde58df1c019d8968a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/332532">“Atlas’ unique features deliver something which is both strikingly styled and practical for owners and guests,” explained Piraye Şahi̇nkaya 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>. “With her long-range capability and her seaworthy design she is sure to deliver extraordinary experiences.”“We have always believed that each project should bring with it some small inventions: this is what we call 'incremental innovation,” Antonio Romano, Business Director and co-founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/908" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hot Lab (Company)">Hot Lab</a> and Commercial Director of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6755" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Viken Group AB (Company)">Viken Group</a>, added. “What is missing in an explorer yacht of around 50-metres? That was the principle behind Atlas.”&nbsp;With this principle in mind, the team focused on enhancing the owner’s private space, ensuring that they have the best vistas possible onboard the yacht, while also considering practical ways for them to connect to a seascape. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/332530/image/large-1e88bac626f2ac8777b53ba736e66775.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/332530">“We thought of creating a mezzanine structure at the bow, allowing the owner to have a cabin completely open to the horizon,” Enrico Lumini, Design Director and co-founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/908" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hot Lab (Company)">Hot Lab</a> stated.&nbsp;“At the same time, we created what we call the ‘welcome lounge’ aft – a space that is usually relegated to the secondary role of a beach club. On Atlas this is elevated both technically in that it sits above the waterline, and metaphorically, as it becomes a true main saloon and an entrance and welcome area onboard to be enjoyed with friends and family at any time of the day,” Lumini continued.&nbsp;Atlas’ stern design is integrated in the yacht’s simultaneously robust and elegant exterior profile, while her bow is high and her structure is sturdy, making her ideal to withstand a range of weather conditions.&nbsp;Moreover, each of the explorer yacht’s deck spaces offer plenty of alfresco entertainment possibilities, including swimming or launching tender via her stern, or lounging on her upper decks.&nbsp;Regarding her accommodation, Atlas can host those onboard across a full-beam owner’s suite, and four guest suites with direct access to the beach club due to the forward positioning of the engine room. The expansive owner’s suite also boasts a private foredeck area containing a spa pool for relaxation. Accommodation is also available for a crew of up to nine crew members across five crew cabins. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/332531/image/large-6075d00e5843faebc83ad6274606daea.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/332531">Moving indoors, Atlas’ interior decor can be customised depending on clients’ wishes, although the team primarily envisions a contemporary, minimalistic aesthetic exhibiting clean lines and smooth surfaces.&nbsp;The interiors also employ neutral colours and high-quality materials alongside light wood flooring with a plank pattern for a sophisticated, timeless atmosphere. Atlas’ saloon is flanked by vast panoramic windows for an abundance of natural light as well as uninterrupted views of the scenery.&nbsp;Performance-wise, Atlas is fitted with a Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) hull crafted by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen Naval Architects</a>, and is projected to reach a top speed of 17 knots and a cruising speed of 11 knots, over the course of a 5,000 nautical mile range.&nbsp;Meanwhile, Atlas offers extensive stowage for an array of tenders, toys, and water equipment, along with an optional touch-and-go helipad. The explorer yacht also has the possibility to be configured with a hybrid propulsion solution and solar panels for a minimised environmental footprint. &nbsp;“This project is a high-performance 54-metre yacht with specific design principles to maximise efficiency, speed and range while minimising environmental impact,” commented Perry van Oossanen, CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen Naval Architects</a>. “Placing the engine room forward realises a grand entrance for guests aft while also allowing for a reduced volume in the aft ship and transom area which reduces hydrodynamic resistance at cruising speeds – which in turn further increases the yacht’s range making it even better-suited for long-distance exploration.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/332529/image/large-c75ea1790ff2980ff657e55f3665d231.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/332529">We wanted to develop an expedition yacht range and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/908" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hot Lab (Company)">Hot Lab</a> provided us with a stunning explorer superyacht that comes in under 500 GT while also encapsulating the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2013" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ARES Yachts (Company)">Ares Shipyard</a>’s commercial and naval heritage in her lines,” concluded Şahinkaya Orhun. “The project really does reflect our roots while drawing on the capabilities of our talented shipyard team in steel and aluminium construction, with a projected two-year build time. We have a really good feeling about Atlas – we love the project and can’t wait to build her!”&nbsp;

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7538" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Christian Oliver Design (Company)">Christian Oliver Design</a> has unveiled the details of the 59-metre superyacht concept, ‘Concept Fifty-Nine’, which features “idyllic exterior proportions” and “teardrop-shaped” hull surfaces, according to the studio. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331720/image/large-7dea66a7b46ffd5bd6a889d5b28ece1f.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331720"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331716/image/large-2fa62ee5bb6cdd9c55f28911b207dc37.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331716">Developed to carry the key features associated with larger vessels, Concept Fifty-Nine boasts an estimated volume of 900 GT. “I feel like the 55 to 60-metre range is often overlooked as many buyers leap over the 500 GT barrier, they immediately move into a boat over 60-metres,” designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7538" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Christian Oliver Design (Company)">Christian Oliver</a> explained.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331717/image/large-3c8a552539192d660e821ec1ad97221b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331717">In terms of accommodation, Concept Fifty-Nine contains five staterooms on the lower deck, one of which is a full-beam VIP suite. Moreover, an owner’s suite can be found on the main deck and is complete with both a private office and spacious walk-in closet. With a beam of 10.3-metres, the superyacht also has room to host crew members in six cabins on the lower deck, as well as in the captain's cabin on the full walk-around bridge deck. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331713/image/large-68c3060d816b1a127ee94608aa5c501d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331713">“What makes this project unique is that it was conceived simultaneously as an interior and exterior styling exercise. Rather than build to a governed length, I let the length reveal itself after the spaces were established.”“The idyllic exterior proportions are meant to disguise the wide-beam high-volume shape with a timeless silhouette that also exudes a fresh, modern feel,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7538" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Christian Oliver Design (Company)">Christian Oliver</a> continued. “The highly sculpted hull surfaces have a teardrop shape inspired by classic runabouts.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331712/image/large-aacab9461b4a19519e06168010b91637.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331712">One of Concept Fifty-Nine’s most notable traits is her generous aft beach club, with a 1.2-metre deep pool that has the option to be heated up. The pool is situated close to the water level, so that guests can immerse themselves in the surrounding seascape. Meanwhile, the port and starboard integrated seating in the side hulls, bustles for those onboard to unwind.&nbsp;From here, the aft door leads to a vast beach club with a bar at the forward end of the pool, creating a ‘swim-up’ effect. The beach club is also decked out with a fitness area, dayhead, and changing room. Moving to the sundeck, a unique cinema space is fitted with lounge seating, which can rotate to face the screen for cosy movie nights. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331715/image/large-abcc84938e682df0928ef976f5ce7009.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331715">Two 7.3-metre tenders are stored forward on Concept Fifty-Nine’s bow, thereby ensuring there is plenty of aft space for guest entertainment. Expansive window openings are present across all three of the superyacht’s decks for a seamless connection between the interior and exterior.&nbsp;Regarding her performance, Concept Fifty-Nine can reach an estimated cruising speed of 14 knots and a top speed of 16 knots, depending on the propulsion system. “The current engine room position and layout is for a traditional pair of mains, but there is opportunity to use an alternative propulsion method,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7538" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Christian Oliver Design (Company)">Christian Oliver</a> concluded.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331714/image/large-b8673ed59daad587730f7794efd81265.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331714">

Introducing the 59m Concept Fifty-Nine yacht by Christian Oliver Design 

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hill Robinson (Company)">Hill Robinson</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1218" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dölker + Voges GmbH (Company)">Dölker + Voges Design</a> have shared the details of their latest concept: the 60-metre Perfect Charter Yacht. The cutting edge concept is developed to optimise charter revenue by including the most highly requested amenities of yachts with success in the charter market. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331126/image/large-a51c0e19c02d22ca58653928e29c19ad.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331126">Head of Charter Management at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hill Robinson (Company)">Hill Robinson</a> Nicolas Fry seized the opportunity to craft a design that places charter at the forefront, which can cover both running costs and generate revenue for the owner. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331125/image/large-0f860304f48f1ee407673d1fc30e1020.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331125">“We gathered precious insight from brokers, Captains, and clients about their perception of the perfect charter yacht and composed an extensive brief for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1218" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dölker + Voges GmbH (Company)">Dölker + Voges</a> that enabled Isabella Knappe to create a beautiful design centred on charter,” Fry explained. “Building the Perfect Charter Yacht with the right shipyard will drive the clients who are interested in renting it, the price competitiveness, and maintenance costs.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331127/image/large-3695885ec0fd3d2bfb618241059cb781.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331127">One example of a charter-oriented feature onboard the yacht is the flexible cabin arrangement. The Perfect Charter Yacht’s six staterooms can be joined in pairs to form three spacious VIP suites, complete with lounge areas. Moreover, sliding doors either divide or unite the suites, making the spaces ideal for families chartering with children in adjacent staterooms.&nbsp;Outside, the vessel’s multi-level aft terraces allow guests to take in the scenery, while a swimming pool, sun loungers, and alfresco dining area allow for outdoor activities. The Perfect Charter Yacht also offers an entertainment lounge decked out with games and a large-screen television, as well as an extensive sundeck containing a barbecue and more lounge seating. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331130/image/large-9cb856f7b42b0f59bfeea2d7ab3641f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331130">At her stern, the yacht houses a beach club with fold-down terraces over the water, alongside direct access to a wellness suite with a sauna and gym. Additionally, a range of tenders and water toys can be stored onboard.Furthermore, the crew quarters and movement of the crew around the yacht was also taken into consideration for this design, in order to promise excellent hospitality for superyacht charter. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331129/image/large-d9472343701a128061a674d56afdaf36.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331129">The Perfect Charter Yacht&nbsp;could be marketed at high season rates of €600,000 per week in the Mediterranean during summer, and in the Caribbean during winter at $650,000 per week.“We would expect the Perfect Charter Yacht to book at least five weeks at her high season summer rate and a further three weeks at low season pricing. During winter, two weeks at the high season rate and two weeks at the slightly lower rate would be easily achievable. This represents a net chart income for the Perfect Charter Yacht of €5,359,832,” Fry added. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331128/image/large-457248e01c6a416aab57dca331fb5a57.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331128">Robert Voges, Founder and Managing Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1218" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dölker + Voges GmbH (Company)">Dölker + Voges</a> concluded, “We were pleased to accept the invitation from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hill Robinson (Company)">Hill Robinson</a> to design this yacht, as it offered an exciting challenge to integrate numerous functionalities into one vessel while appealing to a broad audience.

From an outside perspective, Volare's&nbsp;exterior silhouette is composed of dark and light glass, with glass wind protection shielding those onboard from the natural elements. An alternative exterior profile option displays a dark blue hull colour for Volare&nbsp;instead. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330338/image/large-08259b1c58d99643453868ed0101279e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330338">The Simply Custom Collection was first announced at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/183" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show - 2023">Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2023</a> and has been engineered to provide designers with a canvas to help create a bespoke <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/oceanco" target="_blank">Oceanco</a> yacht.

The vessel is characterised by her Japandi-style interiors, as well as her blend of "technical innovation with timeless beauty", according to the studio. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330252/image/large-d87bf9258997485d328d5aa5a7b84c6f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330252">Valiant&nbsp;is christened after the iconic British Navy ship, paying tribute to nautical tradition while paving the way for modernity. With spatial connectivity at the core of her design, Valiant's&nbsp;expansive interiors are developed to flow into one another, even as they maintain a sense of privacy. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330251/image/large-544f84801cd222cfe60d68782dc3b7c7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330251"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330254/image/large-f5227d04fd423af74109f266a5106d85.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330254">Described as a fusion of "Japanese minimalism and Scandinavian warmth", the indoor living areas exude a Zen-like state through subtly integrated luxury materials and open transitions between rooms.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330284/image/large-a1f2fea598e52cc87ec6217df1609279.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330284">One of Valiant's&nbsp;highlights is her beach club that leads to guest areas along with other decks. Created for comfort regardless of weather conditions, the beach club is where the exterior and interior merges, as guests are invited to swim in the infinity pool with both internal and external areas. The beach club also boasts a spa that is placed over the water for guests to admire the outdoor views within a calming, private sanctuary. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330286/image/large-92b8683513edc3fee8692abb91966737.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330286">Another space optimised for outside views is the forward-facing owner's suite, complete with an exterior Jacuzzi and dedicated outdoor area, so that owners can enjoy a panorama of vistas. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330300/image/large-d0e180f1992a4b3e2fb30ef585458194.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330300"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330297/image/large-1b23b8ca259c58b9bdc7e0e318b45656.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330297">Valiant's&nbsp;dining table, situated laterally, is accompanied by an open kitchen and curved glass windows for further synthesis with the seascape, as well as an abundance of natural light.

In addition, the raised wheelhouse not only enhances operational efficiency, but also contributes to the overall style of Valiant.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330292/image/large-f0dce436a9e3fe6ab829e22e4c6121b7.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330292"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330253/image/large-6d55ed76b4c359816506f73e8b0a8b1e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330253">

SaturaStudio unveils 82m Nami yacht concept

The studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4676" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Adeo Yacht Design (Company)">ADEO Yacht Design</a> has unveiled the details of their new 52-metre superyacht concept Ligeia, which is inspired by “nature’s fluidity and seamless harmony with the environment”, according to the designer.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329733/image/large-ee9034f4341f7b69a0439b9be7d23a1d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329733">From the outside, Ligeia’s sleek and elongated lines mimic the gracefulness of sea waves, while encapsulating their dynamic movement even when still. Despite being described as “low-profile”, the exterior silhouette also makes an impression through bold yet harmonious curves that synthesise with one another to “mirror the organic flow of natural elements”, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4676" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Adeo Yacht Design (Company)">ADEO Yacht Design</a> says. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329740/image/large-26ee5a7c30bdf0e514a880d77f1066dd.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329740">Overall, Ligeia places the interrelationship between form, function, and the natural elements at the forefront of her design, resulting in a creation that feels integrated with the ocean. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329735/image/large-34b0f589455453f3acc1fce873a89f14.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329735">Moreover, the vessel’s deck configurations ensure uninterrupted sightlines, as well as a panoramic connection to the surrounding maritime environment, so that the seascape never feels far for those onboard. At a volume of approximately 600 GT, the superyacht can accommodate as many as 12 guests across her six stateroom layout.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329738/image/large-54fd42dd560fd8c1ca4bca64def2267e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329738">Ligeia’s aft section is home to a spacious swim platform and tender garage, which resemble a private beach or resort, providing “a direct extension of the yacht into the sea”, as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4676" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Adeo Yacht Design (Company)">ADEO Yacht Design</a> explains. Meanwhile, the sundeck’s pool and lounge areas function as a peaceful relaxation space without interfering with the minimalist approach to Ligeria’s design. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329736/image/large-f62651c9d62117babc9d650b41e332d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329736">The sundeck’s pool is also unique in that it offers boundless panoramic vision of the scenery, alongside seating and lounging areas, so that guests can enjoy the sun setting in the horizon. On Ligeia’s foredeck, guests are invited to recline in an elevated bow lounge, consisting of secluded seating and more unobstructed views. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329734/image/large-85b3a632ff913d07bb61aa0ec521e925.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329734">“From open lounging spaces to entertainment zones, the design encourages a harmonious interaction with the sea, enhancing guest experiences with multifunctional areas that adapt intuitively to a wide range of social or leisure pursuits. This seamless integration of open spaces sets&nbsp;Ligeia apart from traditional designs, where rigid separation often limits potential uses. On Ligeia, every deck invites limitless possibilities for entertainment and personal retreat, all while maintaining a visually cohesive aesthetic,” the designer concludes. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329737/image/large-114b71a8d843529b1c7b03abc3a7c8ad.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329737">Where her performance is concerned, Ligeia’s conventional propulsion system delivers a cruising speed of 12 knots along with a top speed of 16 knots.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329739/image/large-334761441b67c3a876e638827c82162c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329739">

52m superyacht concept Ligeia by ADEO Yacht Design

The studio ADEO Yacht Design has unveiled the details of their new 52-metre superyacht concept Ligeia. 


Introducing the 52m superyacht concept Ligeia by ADEO Yacht Design

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen Yachts</a> has unveiled the 62-metre Monte Carlo&nbsp;yacht project, the latest addition to its Steel Fast Displacement Hull Form series, at 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</a>. The 1,340 GT superyacht features an exterior design from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/168" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Harrison Eidsgaard (Company)">Harrison Eidsgaard</a>, with naval architecture from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen Naval Architects</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329286/image/large-ebfa7b40467b2e86fbf5842759d294cc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329286">Monte Carlo is characterised by huge expanses of glass to provide a direct connection between the ocean. "We have created a very simple profile," explained designer Peder Eidsgaard of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/168" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Harrison Eidsgaard (Company)">Harrison Eidgaard</a>. "We have given her smooth lines that run from her bow and across all three of her tiered decks."Monte Carlo&nbsp;has been specifically designed to appeal to a new generation of owners who are spending more time onboard. With an impressive 11.5-metre beam, her interior configuration showcases open spaces to direct the eye through the length of the yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329279/image/large-e7b0a81a664265ea770fde1ec4f58bb2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329279">The yacht features a four deck arrangement, with an entire deck dedicated to the owners suite on the upper deck. The remaining guest accommodation will be split across the main and lower decks, with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/168" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Harrison Eidsgaard (Company)">Eidsgaard</a>’s design proposing a mix of up to five spacious VIP staterooms and comfortable double staterooms for the accommodation of up to 14 guests."We moved the guest staterooms up to the main deck, which allowed us to move &nbsp;the master suite up above to provide the owner with a great view forward and a penthouse feel. The suite includes a forward-facing bed, his-and-hers wardrobes, an owner's office and a Jacuzzi on her foredeck," commented Peder Eidsgaard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329281/image/large-0f898ed0f3a0233f0706b11f54b17861.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329281">The superyacht will be one of the largest yacht's by volume ever built in Oss. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>’s CEO, Niels Vaessen, explained that the design is a direct response to trends they are currently seeing in the market. “It is unusual for us to build a four-decker, but we have had a few requests for such a boat from former clients, so it made sense to create one. We are addressing a key market of owners that are looking to maximise space and experience on board to share with family and friends.”Peder Eidsgaard highlighted that the owner’s deck offers supreme privacy and could be utilised in different ways depending on their reference. “It is a very open master suite, with the bathtub, shower and office all interconnected,” he said.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329280/image/large-d733ce7e3d20a41971a74d33ee1225c9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329280">“The benefit of this arrangement is that an incoming owner can easily toy with the space devoted to each area. The potential is huge; you expand the master suite to include a private foredeck with its own sundeck, Jacuzzi and a fold-down balcony to starboard. From his/her office, the owner can walk straight out onto the balcony and take a seat.”Monte Carlo's design&nbsp;includes a large 23-square-metre pool, with glass sides giving the impression that you are swimming in the sea and fold-down wings on the aft deck that allow you to sit right over the water. This multi-level space also has direct access to the wellness centre below, which is equipped with a large gym, sauna, juice bar and hammam. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329282/image/large-0992a6b0b1763ba0d7e3273ec8f38a1d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329282">Other key spaces include a ‘beach lounge’ on the main deck, where low-slung sofas offer an informal dining area for up to 14 guests, with sliding doors again connecting the yacht to its surroundings. There is also a firepit observation lounge under the mast, an outdoor kitchen, and a semi-open sky lounge seating area, including a hidden pop-up TV for movie nights."Her multi-level roof top terrace offers guests a great view of the horizon, with her seating area and firepit providing the perfect spot for relaxation. Her awning hoop also allows guests to enjoy the stars at night and can be closed in the day time for protection from the sun," added Peder Eidsgaard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329283/image/large-b5678775dbec9d28a808c083b261d22c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329283">The yacht’s beach club is also ideal for launching water toys, and its impressive storage will ensure that Project Monte-Carlo can be equipped with the latest toys available, including e-foils, wave runners and a diving kit. Additionally, the yacht has storage for two tenders, which are used for easy excursions back to the shore.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329278/image/large-20bb5d97e52e0de451726cd1b49e39e7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329278">The yacht has also been designed alongside <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>'s BlueNautich strategy, and is technically enabled for serial hybrid propulsion, with space for a large battery bank. It also has a methanol-ready tank layout for future conversion to hydrogen combustion or even a fuel cell. Monte Carlo is powered by twin 1,500 kilowatt <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MTU (Company)">MTU</a> engines with a range of 16 knots and 4,500 nautical miles.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329287/image/large-6105faff0ba68bbd7053e881b898e3cd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329287">“We see that our owners are increasingly interested in minimising their environmental impact,” added Peter Van Der Zanden, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>’s General Manager for Design &amp; Development. “By planning the yacht around tried-and-tested green solutions, we are helping them make good decisions that don’t add much time and cost to the build.”

<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.
