Eidsgaard Design and Benetti recently unveiled two stunning new superyacht design proposals, for a 70 metre, and a 90 metre superyacht. Benetti’s undisputed build, quality combined with Eidsgaard Design’s creativity and innovation is set to bring something very special to the superyacht industry with these two designs seen here. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/141452/image/large-9d9f150c666390e12e24541bdce8f640.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/141452">Key to the 70 metre design is the centralized service core, huge interior volumes and distinctive exterior envelope. Carrying an unmistakable signature line, the exterior is designed to look sleek and purposeful with wing-like fashion plates separating the forward and aft sections of the yacht. Bulwarks are lowered aft of the fashion plates with glass insets, maximising views out from the interior and lowering the perception of superstructure volume aft. The exterior is capped with what effectively looks like a classical funnel, but in reality provides a sheltered dining area for 12. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/141453/image/large-3dfc57c3291a37017778e50d185ab3be.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/141453">Eidsgaard commented: "For a 70m the layout and size of salons and cabins is huge. Having condensed and rationalised the service core we have been able to give precious space back to the Owners and guests". The Owners stateroom is an enormous 154 square metre with saloons at 190 square metre. Also unique is the dedicated Spa and Gym with its own hull side opening and located off the main stair atrium on lower deck. All guests are located on main deck, with an addition “staff cabin” on lower deck adjacent to the spa. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/141454/image/large-40f6ddccea4b1778acc44125c73d75a3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/141454">"Paramount to any yacht, we have worked tirelessly to rationalise and simplify the service core and ensure a coherent flow of crew invisibly throughout the yacht. Lift and stair cores run in straight lines through all decks, A/C and technical spaces have been allocated and thought through, and victualing and stores optimised. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/141455/image/large-c18ef824d1ff7a9fa66f1f3f00be7093.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/141455">The 90 metre proposal is a substantial yacht with the owner’s areas located over 5 decks, featuring a 6.5 metre pool, 200 square metre double height main Saloon and 179 square metre owners cabin. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/141456/image/large-d50743d8a0377637b63be6ede04c319a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/141456">Assisted by its length, this sleek exterior profile is designed to look both powerful and purposeful. Her clean lines are broken mid ships to allow for full height glass to the massive atrium stair located within. Aft decks are connected by sweeping staircases that enhance the feeling of connection deck to deck. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/141457/image/large-32a50afe0de2bfca4c33387b673e26be.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/141457">Boasting a spa, cinema, 6 guest cabins, VIP Cabin, double height lounge and enormous Owners Stateroom, this yacht has may unique features that can be adapted to almost any lifestyle requirement. The double height saloons interconnected with a grand centreline staircase is one such impressive feature that really plays on the grandeur of the spaces. The 6.5 metre Pool on main deck is architecturally connected to this saloon via a series of columns that flow between interior and exterior. As with the 70 metre, the service core has been modified to ensure rational and clear lines of service throughout the yacht.

When Rock 85 first debuted in 2018, it was a revelation in the yachting sector. Crafted from the boards of Dutch design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a>, the open-plan design boasted over 20 percent more internal volume than any other count part in this &nbsp;category. The yacht designer and shipyard gave SuperYacht Times an exclusive first look at the Rock XWide, showcasing a wider dimension and a further 35 percent increase to the interior space and 25 percent additional exterior expansion compared to its predecessor.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/290006/image/large-f5e6db71390121114606c6fa3b3f849d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/290006" 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;">Rock XWide will accommodate up to 10 guests across five guest staterooms, including a full-beam master suite which is a unique feat for a 26-metre yacht built under strict CE-A regulations. From previously having three lower deck suites, the yacht now accommodates four, all without cutting back on space.Bart Bouwhuis, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack's</a> co-creative director, shared, "We’ve expanded the design but simultaneously refined her interior. Each time we altered an aspect in the design specifications, we ensured that this alteration added immense value for potential clients, in terms of real estate and comfort onboard.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/290004/image/large-f20a7f17162e31697aae7d39d703ec8c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/290004">Central to this design overhaul was the decision to increase the width, keeping the exterior relatively consistent. The enhanced &nbsp;interior space translate to more living zones and additional room for family interactions, and a smooth flow of movement between outdoor and indoor areas. One standout feature is the transformation of the door leading from the main saloon to the aft deck: it's now a pair of sliding glass doors that reveal a brand-new 2.5-metre aft deck plunge pool. The interiors take style notes from a "New York loft", with an abundance of light and an open ambience that is rarely showcased so extensively within such a compact design.Turning to the exterior, Rock XWide now features room for additional toy storage on the top deck, and expanded tender stowage on the swim platform including space for a 7-metre tender, far larger than previous models. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/290012/image/large-86ceb974b205aaaa6e11c883bf730512.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/290012" 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;">“Every aspect of the changes to the Rock XWide from previous models has been underpinned by our constant communication with current owners of the Rock models”, regards <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripacks</a> Bouwhuis. “The feedback-driven expansions ensure more of everything onboard – all encapsulated within a compact explorer yacht that proudly achieves a top speed of 13 knots as well as achieving a Trans-Atlantic range at cruising speed.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/290007/image/large-8f7d03f039b6bb8c1b90b35530401bd1.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/290007">For Ali Sayakci, Founder of the Rock brand, “When revisiting the success of the original Rock boats, the new challenge was clear: enhance the space without sacrificing comfort". Bart pondered, “How do we work within the same parameters to amplify space and value?” The answer lay in increasing the beam and optimising layout features. The only necessary compromise was the yacht's speed, brought down from 16 to 13 knots, a decision backed by client feedback favouring larger spaces over faster speeds.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/290011/image/large-1f3cfec26643275649e26d446eac5073.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/290011">Ali chimed in, emphasising the yacht's smart layout, which they feel is &nbsp;unparalleled, and the catamaran-like spaciousness, which allows owners to feel at home. Aesthetically, the exterior design of the Rock XWide exudes power. Described as a "motor yacht with muscles," its style boasts masculine, angular lines, reflecting its confident capabilities. Bouwhuis proudly stated, “Since the launch of the first yacht, its influence on other brands is evident, a gesture we warmly embrace.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/290008/image/large-7e0748328e5e14b30092a11f4077ca05.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/290008">The Rock XWide exemplifies the ethos behind this collaborative effort, where the goal was to “not just go wider; but broaden the horizons in yacht design and experience for family explorations.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/290009/image/large-949029e188dd5d28f4ee12af6721b746.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/290009">Currently, the first hull is taking shape at the Turkish shipyard, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1748" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Evadne Yachts (Company)">Evadne Yachts</a>.

The brothers say that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1591" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Victorious85.01m (278'11&quot;)AKYACHT2021">Victorious</a> will have a total of 60 ownership units available for purchase, with ten units already sold and a growing list of interested buyers being developed.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/295084/image/large-6029af0be29c56caa83f7e8b7010cb8c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/295084">Each ownership unit, priced at three million Euros, grants its owner an equity interest in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1591" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Victorious85.01m (278'11&quot;)AKYACHT2021">Victorious</a> and an average of thirty-five nights of shared usage per year. Owners will be able to book one or multiple staterooms on any available date throughout the year along the preset Mediterranean summer and Caribbean winter itinerary. The experience can be compared to staying at a luxury boutique hotel at sea that is exclusively for a private co-ownership group. With over 1,947 square-metres of guest spaces, owners will have the opportunity to interact as much or as little as they desire with other guests onboard. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/295083/image/large-9788492187c09a23ba291afddc810893.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/295083">Matthew says that, “One of the hardest things to convey is what it is like staying aboard a superyacht of this magnitude. You and your guests are far outnumbered by the crew. Your every want is catered to with an attention to detail that can’t be fully described - only experienced. Meals are set against the gorgeous vistas of ever-changing landscapes. The chef delights you with daily tasting menus based on fresh caught fish and local ingredients. The service feels effortless. There is an almost infectious relaxation that starts to set in. To spend time onboard a superyacht is to experience the absolute pinnacle of luxury.” The brothers say that the itinerary will leverage opportunities that are uniquely available to superyachts - like stopping in the Aeolian Islands or having dinner at night near Stromboli, Italy while watching the lava flow from an active volcano. There will be a leisurely yachting pace from one destination to the next, all timed to coincide with major hotspots along the “UHNW circuit” such as the Cannes Film Festival, Monaco Grand Prix and St Barth’s New Year’s Eve.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/295079/image/large-c5595aff2a7350a7829b39a90d309d34.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/295079">Delving into the operational aspects of the program, the brothers explained that owners will utilise the company’s straightforward points-based system to make bookings, with adjustments made for stateroom size and peak dates. For example, an owner could use their points to book three weeks in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1591" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Victorious85.01m (278'11&quot;)AKYACHT2021">Victorious</a>' master suite, five weeks in a Double Plus stateroom with an Olympic Queen and sofa, seven weeks in a Twin Stateroom or any combination thereof. The annual operating expense dues of 300,000 Euros per unit covers everything: all yacht operations and maintenance, crew, gratuities, amenities, premium food and beverage and a reserve fund to cover the lumpy cash flows of yacht ownership.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/295082/image/large-99c0023eff5cb01d3bacfa0dd0538a29.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/295082">Vincenzo Poerio, CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1661" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tankoa Yachts S.p.A. (Company)">Tankoa</a> and former CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a>, commented that “<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7445" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Holdings (Company)">Superyacht Holdings</a> is offering a truly unique product that will welcome a new type of customer into the industry.” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7445" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Holdings (Company)">Superyacht Holdings</a> distinguishes itself from the traditional charter experience by emphasising flexibility. Matthew explained, "This is a new kind of yachting experience. Owners can join for as few or as many nights as they'd like throughout an expansive 280-day annual itinerary. This concept diverges from the conventional one-week charter in the summer. An owner might spend a weekend onboard in Sardinia, attend business meetings in Europe, and then return to join the yacht again in Capri. It epitomises the ultimate in flexibility and luxury for a fast-paced modern lifestyle." Furthermore, owners also have the option to exchange points among themselves through a Points Clearing House. Thomas expanded on Matthew's point, highlighting that “Owners have the freedom to utilise the yacht for an afternoon outing, or an extended stay of up to seven weeks in a twin stateroom onboard, offering unparalleled flexibility that doesn’t exist outside of 100 percent ownership.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/244474/image/large-dc3aec346d310069d07953420b1f5878.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/244474">The brothers have a background in finance, co-founding TXN Advisors, a Washington, DC based investment banking firm, dealing with transaction advisory and outsourced c-suite services. They gained extensive experience in the maritime sector, facilitating the negotiations and transactions for the sale of a shipyard, several yachts and an investment for the completion of a 50-metre yacht. The brothers also served as co-Chief Operating Officers for a luxury holding company that owned and operated five vessels as part of a yacht charter fleet.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/295080/image/large-d81f8908015f02909eb5b0b27ce67063.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/295080">The idea to establish <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7445" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Holdings (Company)">Superyacht Holdings</a> emerged from two sources of inspiration. The first is from the brothers having lived the superyacht lifestyle first-hand, spending more than 100 nights as guests onboard yachts ranging from 70-85 plus metres in length. Their experiences included everything from cruising the Red Sea, Mediterranean, Caribbean and Bahamas by themselves and in small groups, to large parties onboard in St Barths, Nassau, Monaco and Cannes.The second and most pivotal source of inspiration was The Locastro brothers' astute observations about The World Residences at Sea, a co-owned shared-usage cruise ship. At times, 25 percent of The World’s owners have been billionaires with a third of the customers owning yachts of their own. Buy-ins ranged up to 25 million dollars with operating expense dues of up to a million and a half dollars per year. The World clientele’s willingness to make such substantial financial commitments for a cruise ship proved to the brothers that there is distinct demand for co-owned shared-usage vessels.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/244428/image/large-c494dfa9a5b4faa90ffec74faf5af513.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/244428">Thomas explained that “Encountering individuals with units on The World prompted us to question why such a concept couldn't be translated to the superyacht sector.” The brothers then went to work on building a product that would be more affordable than The World and that would deliver an even higher level of personalised luxury on an actual superyacht.Matthew notes that, “We recruited the team that built The World. This included appointing The World’s first successful President &amp; CEO, James St. John, as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7445" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Holdings (Company)">Superyacht Holdings</a>' President.” St John brings massive operational experience to the team and is recognised for rescuing The World from bankruptcy by selling out the residences and maintaining stable operations for six years. He spent an impressive 600 days living onboard The World and has travelled to all seven continents visiting more than 100 countries. St John says that “After being approached by and working with some of the most notable maritime projects in this space, this is the first company I have decided to put my name on since leaving The World. It is the only company of its kind that makes both financial and operational sense.”Matthew says that, “Since the founding of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7445" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Holdings (Company)">Superyacht Holdings</a>, we have developed and refined our product, leveraging our team’s insights from having visited well over 300 ports, our extensive time on superyachts and a combined 17 years of senior executive experience running The World.” Given the numerous false starts of residential cruise ship projects that have been selling off of renderings, Superyacht Holdings made the decision to wait until they had a fully operational superyacht for the program before announcing publicly at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/182" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2023">Monaco Yacht Show</a> this year.When asked how the deal occurred with the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4644" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AKYACHT (Company)">AKYACHT</a> shipyard, Thomas shared, “<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1591" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Victorious85.01m (278'11&quot;)AKYACHT2021">Victorious</a> emerged as the tenth yacht we extensively considered and engaged in substantive discussions with the owners. During our first visit, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1591" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Victorious85.01m (278'11&quot;)AKYACHT2021">Victorious</a>’ general arrangement and features immediately resonated with us as an ideal platform for our unique shared usage program. The yacht is a masterpiece of interior design by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="H2 Yacht Design (Company)">H2</a> that our owners will proudly get to call their own. One of the most impressive parts of the yacht is its beach club, which is consistently ranked as being one of the top 10 of any yacht in the world. It is 199.742 square-metres and features a large swim platform, indoor heated pool and two mid-ship foldout balconies in addition to its numerous amenities.” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1591" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Victorious85.01m (278'11&quot;)AKYACHT2021">Victorious</a> won Robb Report’s “Best of the Best” in 2022 and features 12 staterooms, four stabilisers, two Jacuzzis, seven informal dining areas, five formal dining areas, six bars, a movie theatre, piano lounge, fireplace lounge and helipad. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/244433/image/large-d496c975435787f9c5bfe768e32307c9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/244433">For <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4644" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AKYACHT (Company)">AKYACHT</a>, Superyacht Holdings offers a compelling proposition for their long-term cooperation. Matthew explains that “Large yacht construction, particularly on speculation, entails heightened risk due to elevated costs narrowing the potential customer demographic. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7445" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Holdings (Company)">Superyacht Holdings</a> presents a paradigm shift by inverting this dynamic so that larger superyachts actually become more affordable.” Vural Ak, who owns <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4644" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AKYACHT (Company)">AKYACHT</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1591" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Victorious85.01m (278'11&quot;)AKYACHT2021">Victorious</a>, says “<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7445" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Holdings (Company)">Superyacht Holdings</a> will disrupt the industry by selling the world’s largest superyachts to a much wider segment of the market."Bob Denison, CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/833" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Denison Yachting (Company)">Denison Yachting</a> which sold more Superyachts globally than any other brokerage house in 2022, affirmed that "in the very large yacht segment, yachts upwards of 280ft in length, the market typically will see two or three brokerage transactions per year, less than one percent of global superyacht sales. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7445" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Holdings (Company)">Superyacht Holdings</a> is creating increased demand and much needed liquidity for the largest superyachts in the world.” Moreover, the pricing structure of utilising <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1591" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Victorious85.01m (278'11&quot;)AKYACHT2021">Victorious</a> through the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7445" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Holdings (Company)">Superyacht Holdings</a> program significantly reduces costs compared to the current charter rates. Presently, chartering Victorious would incur expenses of approximately 1.2 million Euros or more after tax, tip and APA. Thomas affirmed that “In our program, by purchasing a three million Euro equity stake, an owner’s effective cost comes down to just 60,000 Euros per week, representing a staggering reduction at nearly 1/20th of the cost for shared usage.” &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/295081/image/large-55e694177683769b1d1d04a3b5315334.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/295081">Thomas explains, “Each owner has an equity interest in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1591" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Victorious85.01m (278'11&quot;)AKYACHT2021">Victorious</a> and may sell their unit of ownership at any time.” With multiple owners already buying more than one unit, the program anticipates around 40 unique owners for the 60 ownership units forming what <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7445" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Holdings (Company)">Superyacht Holdings</a> calls the most exclusive private club in the world. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/244441/image/large-d14618dcdf5085005cb0f5f71258e45f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/244441"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7445" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Holdings (Company)">Superyacht Holdings</a> plans to launch with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1591" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Victorious85.01m (278'11&quot;)AKYACHT2021">Victorious</a>.
