“To have to create a theme brings a connection to the interior, as if it were a book,” remarks Sander Sinot about his latest gripping story: the 77-metre Black Shark. As the yacht fast approaches her completion date, we are all itching to skip to the ending of this tale. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108455/image/large-6e173e0dd4d4b92d18f756ca7b7fc11c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108455">For the story to be completed, an untold number of man-hours have been invested into making an adventurous owner’s dream come true. Having summoned the industry’s top-tier team of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2208" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Imperial Yachts (Company)">Imperial</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/69" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Winch Design (Company)">Winch Design</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/926" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design (Company)">Sinot</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a>, the owner challenged the designers with adopting the hard-hitting shark theme and translating it into the body and soul of a next-generation superyacht. “It’s a matter of how you are able to interpret things, no matter how literally. I think that’s the trick,” says Sinot.&nbsp;Despite the project being something of an unusual beast, Sinot ensured that the translation of the theme did not go against the grain of his design principles. “A design should not exist just ‘because’ it has been designed. It should be a manifestation of something for purpose, aesthetics and function."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186102/image/large-5d961f2e3279ad77c0d98cdc0e6fdb28.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186102">“A yacht is not just an object of wealth: it is something you can use to move across the globe and see things that other people can’t. Superyacht's make you feel good, and the interiors are what makes owners want to welcome people on board and enjoy the surroundings together. It should feel like a safe place to be.” That said, what will manifest itself inside the deep black metallic exterior of the Shark isn’t yet crystal clear. But what we do know is that all those who step on board dive straight into an underwater world awash with examples of the perpetual predator theme. To help us delve deeper into the concept, Senior Designer and Project Manager at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/926" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design (Company)">Sinot Yacht Architecture &amp; Design</a>, Zlatko Imamovic, answers our questions.&nbsp;The client is energetic, very interesting and involved. He liked the fact we could use a lot of new technologies in our design such as 3D printing and scanning. It was very clear from the beginning that he wanted to create something unique to correspond to the theme, but still ensure that the spaces are warm, comfortable and inviting. Because of this clear direction, we were able to start creating the interiors in 3D from day one. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186103/image/large-9c8564e7cae0731279884f6ec069975b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186103">In some of the spaces we have black ceilings, which are quite a bold statement. If you zoom in to the details, it all relates to the theme of ‘black’ or ‘shark’, either together or separately in a subliminal way. Despite the clear theme, we didn’t want to end up building a theme park inside. You will not see shark fins as door handles, or any other literal translations of the theme. Instead we have added hidden teeth inside the interior, which are not directly noticeable but this is the way we decided to build up the tension inside.We didn’t know what shark skin looked like until we used a microscope and were able to study its pattern. Their skin is made to reduce the drag on the water with a texture similar to the outside of a golf ball – we translated this into a 3D print and have covered entire walls with this pattern. The outcome is a very interesting tactile texture on the wall. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186100/image/large-55e5a511cf56152cac88e4e74f1a83b2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186100">We have told a story throughout the interior with a clear distinction between each deck. This has been divided up to create the perception that, as you move up through the yacht, you are either below the water, on the surface of the water or above the water.We offered the owner a 360-degree view of the yacht sent to his iPad and a virtual reality (VR) tour. This way, he could click anywhere and walk through Black Shark virtually. Thanks to these new technologies, it only took a few months to complete the interior design. Because of this project, VR mock-ups are now an integral part of our design process.By the time the keel was laid, we had long finished all the visuals and had made a start on the full-size mockups. We were building four of them in order to see our selection of materials together, which is an important part of our design process. To have a controlled, clean procedure, you need a seal of approval for each step so, in the end, you can ensure the owner will be very satisfied.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186758/image/large-3a8ff277c6a0d6b607bfd3b9a2e64c9e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186758">We endeavoured to create a comfortable and liveable environment, so needed to be really careful how we translated the idea of the shark. Yes, we have sofas, armchairs and furniture made of nice soft fabrics, but these items are still connected to the overall theme in a way that ties the entire design together in a sophisticated style. This interior is not ‘just an interior,’ there’s a story behind it and relates well to the exterior details, such as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/69" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Winch Design (Company)">Winch Design</a>’s interpretation of the shark gills and fin along the matte black hull.This article was first featured in&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/52428" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="First 2021 edition of The SuperYacht Times newspaper out now (2021-02-23 09:30:00 +0100)">The SuperYacht Times Spring Edition newspaper</a>. <a href="http://www.superyachtcompany.com/newspaper/the-superyacht-times-subscription" target="_blank">Subscribe</a> now to receive your copy straight to your door and never miss another issue.

SYT looks inside Nobiskrug's 77m yacht Black Shark

SYT speaks to Sander Sinot of Sinot Yacht and Design to discuss the 77m Nobiskrug superyacht Black Shark, currently in build. 

Secrets of the Shark: 77m Nobiskrug superyacht Black Shark

Merijn de Waard sat down with Lars Windhorst, owner and Founder of the Tennor Group that owns <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5275" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (Company)">Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (FSG)</a>, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/53385" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug Shipyard has been saved by Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft shipyard (2021-07-16 19:15:00 +0200)">which has recently acquired the German shipyard Nobiskrug</a>. The pair discussed the motivations for the purchase, the plans for the legendary shipyard and how Windhorst plans to position the shipyard to continue to push innovation and build world-renowned superyachts. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/208143/image/large-2595aee26279ea40c7adacd4114a3b2b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/208143"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a> shipyard was founded in 1905, working on the construction of mainly barges and commercial vessels. Gradually the yard moved into working on custom cruise liners and by 1997 the shipyard had segued into the superyacht sector, launching the 92-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/338" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tatoosh92.42m (303'3&quot;)Nobiskrug2000">Tatoosh</a> in 2000. Over the subsequent decades, the shipyard became known for the construction of innovative, technologically advanced superyachts, such as the 142.81-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4450" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sailing Yacht A142.81m (468'6&quot;)Nobiskrug2017">Sailing Yacht A</a> and the 80-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6282" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Artefact80.0m (262'6&quot;)Nobiskrug2020">Artefact</a> launched in 2020.&nbsp;In April 2021 the news was released that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a> had filed for insolvency, citing “critical developments” on yacht construction, consequences on investment and profitability as some of the causes for the proceedings. In August it was announced that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/53575" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lars Windhorst completes Nobiskrug takeover (2021-08-20 08:45:00 +0200)">Lars Windhorst had come to the rescue of the shipyard</a> and in Monaco the yard once again had its own stand positioned in front of the Yacht Club de Monaco, in a show of strength for the new management.&nbsp;So my first question is, why did you buy&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a>, and what is your idea and your plan behind this acquisition?About a year ago we hired Philipp Maracke as CEO of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5275" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (Company)">FSG</a> and that action solidified our commitment to make the shipyard a sustainable success, no matter the resources in terms of capital commitment. While the heritage of the shipyard and the increasing prospects in the market were a major part of this decision, this was also fuelled by the fact that we got the right management team into the company. Philipp brought in people who he trusted to make the venture a success and I trusted him to see that end.&nbsp;When he came onboard in October 2020 I had the feeling that we had the right person in the role. He had the motivation, the passion and the commitment to do it and I said “OK, I will support you all the way and if you find something which makes sense, is lucrative and will help us grow and fulfill our vision to build something bigger, more sustainable and profitable, we will do it.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/98799/image/large-9a54de6d47c002319e951295f26172fa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/98799">He came up with the potential acquisition of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a> when there was first rumour of them being in trouble in March/April 2021 and it made sense to me. There are two areas in shipbuilding where you can still have margins and can potentially make money. On one hand you have more complex, technologically advanced vessels such as research, naval and military vessels. Anything relating to innovation, energy technologies and the like is already covered under <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5275" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (Company)">FSG</a>’s market. The other area however is superyachts and we are currently in another boom for that industry and so the timing made sense to us.&nbsp;In addition, this is probably one of the first times in the last 20-30 years that a well-established, high-end brand with a strong track record came on the market, which in itself is a rare event. In my opinion, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a> is one of the very few shipyards in the world that has the skill and capability to build large fully customised superyachts. It has the infrastructure and the reputation and almost everyone knows the name and in addition most of the staff have remained with the shipyard which has retained their level of expertise. I believe we were the only bidder to offer to take over all the employees, except the steel building department which we don’t need because we have that trade at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5275" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (Company)">FSG</a>.&nbsp;We see this as a forward looking investment, where we will grow rather than consolidate. We need the know-how and the resources of those employees to facilitate the growth that we want to enjoy over the next few years. So that's why it was a rather easy decision to jump and move into this sector. The company is 100 percent owned by me and between Philipp and myself it was a very unbureaucratic and quick decision process. We are very pleased that we were able to win the auction and buy <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/203683/image/large-6d8021c836d0ab4368cc45757972e89f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/203683">Did you ever consider building yachts under&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5275" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (Company)">FSG</a>, and had the&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a>&nbsp;opportunity not arisen, might that have been something we would have seen?It was on our radar and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5275" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (Company)">FSG</a> was already involved with the industry in a few ways. If, for example, you look at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/44" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abeking & Rasmussen (Company)">Abeking &amp; Rasmussen</a> 98.4-metre superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5752" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Aviva98.4m (322'10&quot;)Abeking & Rasmussen2017">Aviva</a>, we built the entire hull because they did not have the capability in-house to do so.&nbsp;Due to the expertise of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5275" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft (Company)">FSG</a> in large scale steel construction it is known worldwide and so yes, we were thinking about it but it is hard to break into the industry without a brand.That is another reason why <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a> is perfect for us, because there is a real synergy between the two companies and we can build on the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a> brand. We currently have two world famous yachts out there, one is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/4450" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sailing Yacht A142.81m (468'6&quot;)Nobiskrug2017">Sailing Yacht A</a> and the other is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6282" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Artefact80.0m (262'6&quot;)Nobiskrug2020">Artefact</a> but we know we have another one or two orders coming in for truly innovative vessels. We will build on the reputation and show in the coming years that there is much more to come. There is more that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a> will bring to the market, with high end, super high quality and very individually complex, technologically advanced yachts. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/207041/image/large-c5e596c1b037840fdf438d6b4b86ba09.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/207041">And in terms of size, is there a minimum or rather a limit to what you will be building?We would not say no per se but we will start at around 60 metres and go right up to the largest sizes, with the capability to build vessels even toward 170 metres.How about the existing projects? Are they all going to be completed by&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a>? Or is that still ongoing conversations with clients?At this time these are still ongoing conversations. We know that some will stay and others are yet to be decided, but we also have a pipeline of new projects which will soon be announced.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/196920/image/large-8556f6fcaf442229c8b5a199cc0094b8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/196920">So in terms of speculation building, is that something you believe in as well? Is that something you would be interested in?I do not think it is necessary to build on speculation with the current flow of the market and it is certainly not our current strategy. Over the next few months we will come into a situation where we have to select what we can do or decide to increase capacity because while we still have some capacity at this time, I see that quickly filling up. If we only do a small percentage of our current pipeline we will be fully loaded very soon.And coming in now as a shipyard owner, what in your view can still be done better in the industry, where is there room for improvement?I cannot pretend that I am the inside advisor for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a>, but what I know personally from my own experience as a charterer and customer is that style and technology are hugely important. These will be the cornerstones of our philosophy for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a> and we want to retain the super high end German mark of top quality engineering inside and out. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/194843/image/large-3033b2e6be8b18837ae863c9e8bf456f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/194843">Are you also going to be actively involved as well? Will you use your own network with clients and in the negotiations of contracts?Absolutely, and the good thing is that if I talk to fellow entrepreneurs or billionaire friends who are keen to buy yachts it is a very natural and pleasant conversation. The topic is enjoyable and it does not cause me or my companions pain or stress to discuss, it is an exciting topic. I will continue to do this through my vast and very extensive global network and we have already started to harvest the fruits of these very valuable conversations.Do you expect younger people to begin to get involved in yachting, especially with younger tech-based businesses emerging?&nbsp;I spend about a third of my time in the US and we are very well connected in Silicon Valley, probably more so than anyone else. I did a talk last week with 40 or so tech entrepreneurs and introduced them to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a> and the reaction was very positive, with many of them looking to visit the shipyard. The world is also opening up, allowing people to travel even more.I do believe that young tech entrepreneurs who made a lot of money in the last two years are definitely a key target group of ours and we are extremely well equipped to serve them. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6282" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Artefact80.0m (262'6&quot;)Nobiskrug2020">Artefact</a> is a fantastic example of that, she is a complex, technology focused and innovative yacht that is environmentally conscious, quiet and low emission – exactly the type of vessel young people are looking for. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/191672/image/large-c737c5720a07dccff7ad6931446109d5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/191672">On that point, how is&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a>&nbsp;going to be involved with sustainability, which is obviously very important, especially for the younger generation?As I said I am not an aficionado of this industry, but as far as I know there is no other yacht in the fleet today which can compare to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6282" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Artefact80.0m (262'6&quot;)Nobiskrug2020">Artefact</a> when it comes to environmental-friendliness. This yacht has been built to the highest environmental standards and is an example of how we will continue to build yachts. This is a showcase for us of what we are able to do and what we will continue to do from an environmental standpoint.<ul><li><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/52478" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Attention to detail: Inside the 80m Artefact (2021-03-04 14:45:00 +0100)">Attention to detail: Inside the 80m Artefact</a></li><li><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/53303" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug superyacht Artefact in Camogli (2021-07-06 08:00:00 +0200)">Nobiskrug superyacht Artefact in Camogli</a></li><li><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/53303" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug superyacht Artefact in Camogli (2021-07-06 08:00:00 +0200)">Nobiskrug superyacht Artefact in Camogli</a></li><li><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/53575" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lars Windhorst completes Nobiskrug takeover (2021-08-20 08:45:00 +0200)">Lars Windhorst completes Nobiskrug takeover</a></li></ul>Do you see&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a>&nbsp;as a long term investment for you?I certainly do. The good thing is that it is not the only business we have, overall it makes up five, maybe 10 percent of what we do, meaning that it is not such a huge investment with a lot of pressure to make money immediately. It is a business that we want to hold onto for the long term, to invest in and grow.&nbsp;It also has more than just monetary value to us, it is a great asset to own, a fantastic brand but also a nice topic to talk about within our network. I will be able to help friends obtain the right yacht and I aim to hold the company for the very long term, grow it and ultimately position it at the top of the market.And in that sense is your investment partly passion driven as well? Because shipyards aren’t the easiest industry to make money out of…There is a passion there for sure, but it is really something which we want to build in a commercially viable way. Business can only be sustainable if it makes money and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a> will make money. If you don’t have the commitment and aspiration to make money, it doesn’t make sense and it would become an unhealthy asset.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/204250/image/large-cf43b3380f723fc4a1641b6e3bbce0f9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/204250">Are you also looking at other investments in the yachting industry? From suppliers or marinas or brokerage firms? Are there any other fields you would be interested in?We always have our eyes open, we are optimistic in that sense, but no there is nothing in particular that we are looking for.And finally, are you going to be building your own yachts at&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nobiskrug (Company)">Nobiskrug</a>?Of course! There is no other way and nowhere else I would build them!&nbsp;
