Her striking high bow, strong angular lines and almost military-influenced aesthetic convey a sense of strength and purpose. Finished in a clean, crisp white with dark window bands, she is unmistakably a yacht that’s been built to venture far beyond the confines of the Mediterranean.Her vertical windows wrap around the main and upper decks, visually elongating the superstructure, while ensuring panoramic views from within. Cutolo’s exterior styling is aggressive yet elegant, with a contemporary edge that feels every bit as refined as it is functional.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340965/image/large-1d55295c3bcaa4419753ef7b5e5f6886.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340965">There’s no doubt: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10739" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bee35.4m (116'2&quot;)ART Shipyard2025">Bee</a> is built for adventure. But she’s equally ready to welcome guests in comfort and style. Stepping aboard via the wide hydraulic swim platform, you enter a world of calm precision. Her aft deck immediately sets the tone, uncluttered, open and bathed in natural light. Teak underfoot and a sculptural staircase to starboard lead the eye up toward the upper decks, while her shaded aft seating area invites relaxed conversation or dining with a view.Sliding glass doors open into the main saloon – a space that feels both expansive and grounded. Soft neutral tones, clean lines and tactile materials like brushed oak and matte lacquered finishes create a modern, almost Nordic atmosphere. Nothing is ostentatious. Everything is intentional.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340971/image/large-0080c75be12498628e4d0349fd8e99db.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340971">The brief for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10739" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bee35.4m (116'2&quot;)ART Shipyard2025">Bee</a> was clear, to create a space that was “trendy, modern, comfortable and open to the landscape.” Natural light plays a central role in the experience and reflecting materials are placed strategically next to windows to amplify brightness. In contrast, the broader palette leans into understated luxury, with elegant matte finishes grounding the airy ambiance.Ceilings are kept light and subtly varied in finish, matte beside gloss, to add dimensionality. Doors and blind boxes feature rounded corners framed in brushed aluminium, reinforcing the yacht’s theme of softness meeting structure. While artwork from local artists is thoughtfully displayed in recessed, brushed-framed niches, adding authenticity and cultural richness.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340976/image/large-c837d47bf792925e4eb1ea8061cd94d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340976">The saloon itself is arranged with versatility in mind. A comfortable seating area to port is perfectly positioned for enjoying both the scenery and the concealed television to starboard. The formal dining area forward, set beneath a custom-designed lighting panel, seats 10 with ease and benefits from exceptional natural light, thanks to her oversized windows.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357770/image/large-fcb2f886df01123250a9156ead78bf9d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357770">Every surface and every fitting feels solid, considered and built to last, reinforcing the notion that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10739" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bee35.4m (116'2&quot;)ART Shipyard2025">Bee</a> has been designed not just to impress at anchor, but to function seamlessly during extended time at sea. Cleverly designed panels conceal her technical elements, instead turning these essential elements into works of art. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340977/image/large-b31df11ba4568445b7fb4946a4b4f1f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340977"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340979/image/large-45e0aba07bc069922c0c72cd78ca38af.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340979">Forward on the main deck, the full-beam owner’s suite is a retreat in every sense. Entered via a private lobby, the suite features generous dimensions, a king-size bed is positioned centrally, while a walk-in wardrobe and office space can be found upon entry. Vertical panels in Nabuk leather are interspersed with LED accents, while her headboard is crafted from dove grey leather with 3D detailing that seamlessly cradles the bed and floating nightstands.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340983/image/large-1f9911b350afa0d976ba6e07d673f97e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340983">The ensuite bathroom is finished in light Calacatta Cremo marble surfaces with brushed stainless steel accents, featuring a large rainfall shower, twin sinks and excellent storage.

Clad in warm-toned wood and Calacatta Cremo marble, nestled within a squared structure wrapped in taupe-coloured leather panels and bordered by brushed stainless steel handrails. Gentle LED strip lighting is recessed beneath each tread, creating a soft glow that guides the way without disturbing the serenity of the space.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340978/image/large-b0b7263eb0f4e52eb4e1c6e1543ea6b7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340978">Descending the central staircase brings you to the lower deck, where <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10739" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bee35.4m (116'2&quot;)ART Shipyard2025">Bee</a>'s family-friendly guest layout unfolds. Two ensuite VIP staterooms mirror each other amidships, with spacious wardrobes, large hull windows and soft ambient lighting. Aft are two twin staterooms, also ensuite, each designed with both style and functionality in mind.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357769/image/large-05535462a6a642b5a7cd026e3051ac11.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357769">There’s a real sense of continuity throughout the accommodation: materials, lighting and finishes are consistent, creating a serene onboard atmosphere. The yacht accommodates 10 guests in total, while up to six crew are housed in comfortable quarters forward with a separate mess and laundry area, ensuring a high standard of service and discretion throughout.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340972/image/large-20935a9edcdb62b2cb0279d74cc10bd6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340972">Up one level, the upper deck is a masterclass in flexibility. Her skylounge is bright and open, with a comfortable sofa and a Corian and White Onyx bar area to ensure that guests are always taken care of. This is a room that can transform, a movie night venue, a social gathering space, a private reading lounge, or an informal meeting space, the configurations are endless!<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340967/image/large-08db28e2587f69e48954a2ef4e8aa58e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340967">Aft, the upper deck terrace is made for relaxed outdoor dining. Sheltered by the overhang and ideal for sundowners or evening meals overlooking remote anchorages, thanks to a 10-person alfresco dining table. A cleverly concealed crane allows for the launch and retrieval of tenders, while seamlessly blending into the design of the yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340970/image/large-6e06eb5d82fd83e253dddd7c62db46a9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340970">The foredeck, which is often overlooked on vessels of this size, is instead given full explorer functionality, with another seating area nestled just forward of the wheelhouse, offering guests a private spot to enjoy sweeping views underway or at anchor.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357765/image/large-0da787e33e5a43be7f7df53207f0efb4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357765"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357766/image/large-2ee5ffd180507c0403bb6d1955a468d6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357766">The topmost deck of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10739" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bee35.4m (116'2&quot;)ART Shipyard2025">Bee</a> offers a surprising amount of space for a 35-metre yacht.

In keeping with the traditional interiors of their commercial vessels, green is the dominant colour. Dark green leather upholstery is paired with black-painted oak panelling and Nabuk leather on the ceiling. This combination strikes a compelling balance between heritage and modern luxury and creates a commanding atmosphere for navigation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340966/image/large-a4b4ec48d605d4e1584f530cf5e1efec.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340966"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/340969/image/large-f90b9fcd8fe7596571f0abf9add43f80.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/340969">Every inch of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10739" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bee35.4m (116'2&quot;)ART Shipyard2025">Bee</a> has been carefully considered.

The Kingdom of Bahrain has unveiled a new regulatory framework designed to enhance maritime safety and position the country as an attractive destination for yacht tourism.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/285488/image/large-56669c82-5c3b-46e1-b7c9-214445a7ddb4.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/285488">The initiative, introduced by Dr. Sheikh Abdulla bin Ahmed Al Khalifa, the Minister of Transportation and Telecommunications, represents a significant step in the Kingdom’s wider strategy to diversify its economy and develop its maritime tourism sector.The regulation, formalised through Ministerial Edict (9) of 2025, simplifies the process for visiting non-commercial, foreign-flagged leisure vessels to obtain navigation permits. These vessels may now apply directly to the Ports and Maritime Affairs Directorate should they choose not to utilise a local shipping agent.This latest measure aligns with Bahrain’s long-term development agenda, guided by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and overseen by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister. It also reinforces Bahrain’s commitment to the goals of Bahrain Economic Vision 2030 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, by promoting sustainable maritime and tourism practices.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/350880/image/large-def0fe807c2ccfcacef92c350c5f6502.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/350880">Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/62741" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="CEO Captain Abdulla Al Merbati on Al Dhaen's new strategy and Bahrain as a cruising destination (2025-03-03 10:30:00 +0100)">CEO Captain Abdulla Al Merbati on Al Dhaen's new strategy and Bahrain as a cruising destination</a>Dr. Sheikh Abdulla noted that the regulation aims to support the country's positioning as a regional hub for high-value tourism, while reinforcing security and environmental standards in its territorial waters. The Ministries of Transportation and Telecommunications and Interior collaborated closely to revise existing maritime navigation protocols to support the safe and efficient movement of vessels.The Ministry has also published a comprehensive procedural guide for foreign yachts visiting Bahrain. Bader Hood Al Mahmood, Undersecretary for Ports and Maritime Affairs, outlined that the guide provides clear instructions on obtaining navigation permits, including detailed pre-arrival, entry, and departure requirements.Among the key stipulations, visiting yachts must operate an Automatic Identification System (AIS), hold valid third-party insurance, and submit documentation including the yacht’s registration, a navigation or safety certificate, and lists of passengers and crew. Initial approvals for entry can be expected within 24 hours of application submission.Yachts approaching Bahraini waters are required to notify the Maritime Control Office via VHF Channel 74 or telephone, and proceed to one of five designated maritime inspection points, including Qatari Waters Cutoff and Fasht Al Jarrim. Following this, vessels must report to one of the listed entry ports – such as Al Dur Port or Waves Marina – to complete immigration and customs procedures.Notably, Bahrain has included leisure marinas among the official entry ports, streamlining arrival processes and underscoring the country's readiness to accommodate yacht tourism. In certain cases, additional marinas may also be authorised.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/350878/image/large-7ab898dfe4e872aef5503c4dbe866144.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/350878">Upon completion of customs formalities and submission of the required documentation, vessels will be issued a navigation permit valid for up to one year, with provisions for renewal and multiple entries. Departure procedures are similarly defined, requiring formal notification, documentation review, and inspection prior to clearance from Bahraini waters.
