Launched in 2012 in Plymouth, England, the impressive six deck 96 metre superyacht Vava II is the very last vessel to be produced by the British shipyard Devonport before the company was acquired by Pendennis. She features naval architecture by Devonport, exterior design by Redman Whiteley Dixon, and sophisticated interiors from the French designer Rémi Tessier.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152856/image/large-50c853c8b1cbd5b0853b4780e4ec2f74.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152856">Her Swiss-Italian owner who as well as being listed as one of the top 100 wealthiest people in the world by Forbes magazine in 2013, is a keen yachtsman and sailor. After founding the yachting syndicate Team Alinghi in 2000, her owner entered and won the renowned America’s Cup in 2003, bringing the Cup to Europe for the first time. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152857/image/large-6a987382236b4cb1f7213d6703b0e426.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152857">Although details and images of her Tessier designed interiors are limited, it is known that she accommodates a crew of up to 34. Amongst her many amenities on board are four tenders accommodated for in separate tender garages both aft and forward, as well as a helicopter landing pad and a large swimming pool. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152858/image/large-4e4faeaefe897c5191314bb22aa3ce41.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152858">Built with a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure, she is powered by two MTU 16V 4000 M71 3,306 hp engines as well as two MTU 12V 4000 M71 2,334 hp engines, giving her a total hp of 11,280. This gives her a maximum speed of 19 knots, and a cruising speed of 15 knots. Vava II has recently completed a 6 month refit at the Amels shipyard in the Netherlands.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152859/image/large-cbf504405cf313530c3df490d0793529.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152859">By Gemma Fottles, photos by Giovanni Romero / <a href="www.superyachtphoto.com/Media/" target="_blank">SuperYachtPhoto.com</a>

Inspired by the Belle Époque, the yacht reflects the era's sophistication and refined way of life."Today's owners increasingly seek yachts that reflect their lifestyle rather than their status," said <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/136" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocean Independence (Company)">Ocean Independence</a> CEO Peter Hürzeler. "The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1556" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SES Yachts (Company)">SES</a> EPOQ 36&nbsp;delivers exactly that.

The generous outdoor spaces have been designed to maximise the guest experience, while the interiors offer a flexible living environment. In the main saloon, loose furniture is paired with traditional wood craftsmanship and contemporary fabrics. This allows owners significant scope for personalisation, even during the later stages of construction.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400564/image/large-f3a4a613890d066a41292d76abb8cf15.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400564">One of the yacht's standout features is a glass-bottomed Jacuzzi on the sundeck, which also serves as a skylight for the alfresco dining area below. Incorporating switchable liquid-crystal glass technology, it can alternate between transparent and translucent.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400563/image/large-8ffbc700a28713013153529d5d4b8015.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400563">The yacht features a steel displacement hull, paired with low-revving engines. At the heart of EPOQ, however, is her renowned Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF), developed 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>. Combining the efficiency of a displacement yacht with the performance of a semi-displacement design, the hull reduces fuel consumption while improving cruising efficiency and onboard comfort.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/400571/image/large-dc0b102bc8291654051f818c68f998d5.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/400571">Her lower deck layout has been standardised to optimise build quality while retaining flexibility for owner customisation. "EPOQ was never about adding complexity," concluded designer Benjamin Toth. "Every design decision has been evaluated through the lens of how owners actually use their yachts. The result is a vessel that offers exceptional comfort while remaining practical to own and operate for decades."
