These bulwarks not only improve vision for the bridge wing stations up &nbsp;top, but also make for an extended deck area around the owner’s suite, which is positioned forward on the upper deck.&nbsp;The yacht's provisional general arrangement also displays a guest Sky Lounge aft, which has the potential to be replaced by a large private owner area that occupies the entire upper deck, complete with large aft deck and forward cockpit lounge.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330014/image/large-ccae68c8ce3d8ae57592a82bf6a8814f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330014">Meanwhile, this arrangement sees a lower deck primarily dedicated to the crew and crew cabins, main galley, and technical aspects of the vessel. On the main deck forward, six guest double staterooms with elevated sea views can be found.Moving to the main deck aft, guests are welcomed by a saloon and dining area that lead to a multi-zone aft deck with a bar, opportunities for alfresco dining, and an aft lounge area. The top deck is home to the wheelhouse and the captain’s cabin as well as an aft sundeck &nbsp;area. The yacht also offers a unique observation deck located in front of the mast, which houses a spa pool.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330013/image/large-62898e8ba2a6547094a86e900e112c91.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330013">Those onboard can also take advantage of a spacious beach club in the stern with glass doors leading out onto the &nbsp;swim platform, which offers water access via to a large transformer platform.

It will be built to commercial specification and there is potential for various propulsion options, including Voith Linear Jets if performance in the mid-20-knot range is required, or hybrid and even full electric propulsion packages.”“The combination of advanced hull naval architecture and contemporary superstructure &nbsp;with Ares Yachts’ capability to deliver the highest standards of construction and finish makes &nbsp;this the perfect yacht for effortless, efficient cruising in understated luxury,” Mulder concludes. “We &nbsp;think a lot of people will be excited by the project, and we are looking forward to meeting with &nbsp;prospective clients and to building the yacht of their dreams.”

However, the progressive involvement of the owner brought a refreshing renewal to the project. Now, the design looks elegant yet informal, simple yet refined. The main idea was to reduce the number of lines in the design to make them stronger, combining round and straight elements.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327892/image/large-3c5274b97b738f39e1d819146685d566.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327892"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327893/image/large-3b78f9cdc2b77d4dc9c66701acba23d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327893">The result is a collection of round frames that reference classic yacht designs, as well as “rational” and comfortable indoor living areas. Dose collaborated with NB111’s owner to choose a selection of natural-toned materials, including blonde walnut, earthy fabrics and marble, settling on no more than five materials per space. “This excellent design result was also greatly supported by the incredible volume of the interiors, which are comparable to a 38-metre yacht, thanks to the generous beam of 8.24-metres,” Dose adds.Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/59110" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Meet designer Paolo Dose: Founder of VYD Studio (2023-11-15 14:00:00 +0100)">Meet designer Paolo Dose: Founder of VYD Studio</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327896/image/large-0f62c1d6928d166463ae12a8d3f003c6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327896"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/59110" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Meet designer Paolo Dose: Founder of VYD Studio (2023-11-15 14:00:00 +0100)"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/327895/image/large-b525466c26770b328d703d00276c79f7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/327895"></a>Performance-wise, NB111 is powered by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> engines with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4531" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="International Maritime Organization (Company)">IMO</a> Tier III certification in line with the most recent emission regulations.
