The layout means there is room on the main deck to house an owner’s suite with a private foredeck terrace, a walk-in wardrobe, a foyer-cum-office and an ensuite bathroom.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359562/image/large-3adbb232de11b9c75a6dcdd66db157d0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359562"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359549/image/large-94804be2968cc7a773a2b3b01dff59f6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359549"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359547/image/large-06283842d165e9020e87e9d0a091058b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359547">On the lower deck, a spacious VIP suite can be found, boasting a fold-down balcony to port, a kingsize double bed, and access to a walk-through wardrobe. Occupying the full beam of the vessel, the stateroom is also home to an ensuite bathroom with a rainforest shower and his-and-hers basins.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359561/image/large-cd442eba5fa6566d05f64a134ba4df67.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359561"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359548/image/large-1dd761eaed57d4cff4307c47151ad3e4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359548">Remaining guests are hosted across three ensuite staterooms with versatile sleeping arrangements, including two double beds that can slide apart to form twins.

Exhibiting a gently curved hardtop, the yacht’s upper deck extends the alfresco lounging options with an arrangement of sofas and sunbeds, a bar and a Jacuzzi.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359558/image/large-993622d4aee4a42c1a34310351fa6f38.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359558"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359555/image/large-2811de37fa9809a146e6291da82955f1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359555">“The debut GX42 shows what is possible, while remaining true to the principles of responsible yachting.

Both the yacht’s exterior and interior make use of loose furniture hailing from Italian designers including Poltrona Frau and B&amp;B Italia. For these pieces, the same neutral upholstery has been utilised and further augmented with a dash of natural colour, as demonstrated in a sage-coloured cushion or blue woven blanket, for instance.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359544/image/large-b24aa37b64399fc5cf3ca4d72f7f7675.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359544">Each room is composed of focal points, such as the backlit slab of Turkish marble present by the dining room table, or the curated pieces from the owner’s private collection of art, comprising paintings, sculpture and objects. In addition, the waves of the ocean are represented through rippled liquid metal panels, which increase the dark-light contrast of other materials.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359543/image/large-12c2e04f17d59e1a7790d6ac236adf77.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359543">Lighting is also at the heart of the GX42 yacht’s interior design, as floor-to-ceiling &nbsp;windows on the main deck ensure natural lighting, and Italy’s Ultra Luce have imagined several subtle direct and indirect lighting techniques for an array of moods and atmospheres. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/359542/image/large-9320be1b056fc66b0cd2238b63c94148.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/359542">As <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Casali</a> explained, “This is no showboat for flexing the muscles.

Rather than purely focusing on reducing energy consumption, the yacht is reported to be the first of her class to be designed around energy generation. This radical approach allows the yacht to run for up to two weeks on purely renewable sources, without relying on fossil fuels.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396253/image/large-7447c42b77f8a8f7bc690af39433370f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396253"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Project Zero</a> has been designed to honour the owners' appreciation for traditional sailing yachts while introducing a host of bespoke design solutions. Outside, custom elements can be found throughout, from the spoon bow and matte-finished deck hardware to the sculpted stern cap and hand-painted transom finished in a wood-effect treatment. Her notable metallic blue hull is further distinguished by a feather-inspired boot stripe, a reference to the black-browed albatross that served as a major inspiration for her design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396256/image/large-a8857968400b95119871dc187c9832f9.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396256">Looking inside, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Project Zero</a> embraces a holistic interior concept centred on natural materials, craftsmanship and owner-focused living. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a>’s interior rejects highly polished finishes in favour of tactile textures and organic materials to embody nature. Smoked European oak, reclaimed bark-based materials, leathered stone and hand-selected veneers are featured prominently throughout. Natural knots, cracks and grain variations have been deliberately preserved rather than concealed.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396255/image/large-213cb67058fc8448969608065d402377.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396255">A unifying design language runs throughout the entire yacht. The designers have employed curved architectural forms, shaping joinery, furniture, structural glazing, and lighting. They further remark that all elements either begin or end in a full radius, creating a sense of continuity between the spaces.The owners' choices can be seen throughout <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Project Zero</a>’s design. Her main saloon features a flexible dining table designed to double as a puzzle and craft table, reflecting the owners' hobbies during extended periods onboard. Elsewhere, modular cockpit furniture can be swiftly reconfigured into either lounge or dining arrangements. Meanwhile, electrically operated cockpit windows enable guests to enclose exterior spaces at the touch of a button.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396257/image/large-90f1c0052c3eb53d6f1ebf5adf3d6cce.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396257">Accommodation onboard includes four staterooms. Each stateroom is personalised around places of significance to the owners, all taking inspiration from destinations from Italy to French Polynesia. The owner’s suite is arranged around the mizzen mast, which has been wrapped in a bespoke artwork by American sculptor Sienna Martz. Moreover, this area benefits from a dedicated study to support long periods of working remotely while cruising.Further customisation extends behind the scenes, where the traditional full-beam engine room has been eliminated to make room for a concealed service corridor, enabling the crew to move discreetly throughout the yacht while maintaining guest privacy.According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a>, the yacht combines hydro-generation through regenerative turbine propellers with more than 100-square-metres of photovoltaic thermal panels integrated into her biminis. These panels generate electrical and thermal energy to power onboard systems, heating and cooling.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396258/image/large-478db106ff098d1896050a1003af3d87.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396258">The yacht's sailing performance has also been refined thanks to a collaboration with Emirates Team New Zealand. Through advanced computational fluid dynamics testing, they developed a distinctive topside curvature that reportedly improves sailing speed by 2.5 percent while simultaneously increasing the vessel's electric power generation by approximately eight percent.Currently under construction at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/34" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vitters Shipyard (Company)">Vitters Shipyard</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Project Zero</a> is scheduled for launch in summer 2026.
