Standby 80m Simply Custom yacht exterior design

Oceanco and designer Jay Aberdoni have shared further details about the 80-metre superyacht concept Standby.

Standby: A closer look at the 80m Oceanco Simply Custom yacht by Aberdoni

CONCEPTHULL Yacht Design has released the renderings and details of Minion, a 27-metre motor yacht concept described as "bold, pure and go-anywhere” by the designer. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357552/image/large-0591625105377eec6564fec4637ee4a2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357552">Displaying an upright silhouette and sturdy hull, Minion draws inspiration from robust explorer yachts that can withstand tough weather conditions in remote destinations. Part of what makes the yacht’s exterior profile so unique is the pairing of her short overall length and wide eight-metre beam. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357558/image/large-e20583abf8a9b1ec586d4491333ef314.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357558">“The original concept stands for 'Less is More', the idea being to create a clever overall layout for a smaller size vessel with more of the features,” CONCEPTHULL Yacht Design explained.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357555/image/large-074e9b8874dadb4e11d48124d1d0dd8b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357555">Furthermore, Minion’s hull smoothly marries metal surfaces with glasswork, as the main deck glazing blends into the hull for a sleek, strong finish, while the wheelhouse protrudes above. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357556/image/large-1bb300eb6b889afd1010745e52360795.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357556">Inside, the motor yacht’s master suite can be found deep inside the vertical bow, and is decked out in large, tinted windows for owners to take in far-reaching vistas of the surrounding environment. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357554/image/large-969a122e5c4afc495d573cf7ac7c9125.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357554">“Purity as a key design approach is clearly reflected in the sculpture and forms of Minion,” CONCEPTHULL continued. This design philosophy is exemplified in the inclusion of skylight see-through circular potholes that allow guests to enjoy either natural daylight or starry night skies. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357557/image/large-379523fc473dac29516f57539183c15a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357557">On deck, Minion’s outdoor living spaces are optimised for unwinding and a close relationship with the seascape. The main deck aft contains a Jacuzzi flanked by sunpads and an outdoor dining arrangement in the shade. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357553/image/large-1fde1ffcd180df730c4f1fa6b85c949f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357553">Additional alfresco entertainment can also be found on the deck above, which is home to geometric, yellow and white sofas, arm chairs and loungers for those onboard to catch some rays in the presence of sea views.

With a bold profile and sculpted lines, the Onyx 92 introduces a refined blend of performance and luxury, more commonly found onboard much larger vessels.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357302/image/large-036837b0d9b12d1e36aba478c7bc5210.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357302">“This is not just a cruiser,” explained <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/102" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mulder Design (Company)">Mulder Design</a>, “it's a floating oasis designed for those who seek both adventure and refined relaxation.” Composed with a GRP hull and superstructure, the Onyx 92 yacht features a contemporary profile, with subtle curves and a near vertical bow.&nbsp;The Onyx 92 yacht offers two flexible interior layout configurations, with option A placing her forward-facing owner’s stateroom at the bow, while an open-plan lounge and dining area can be found aft, alongside a galley.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357308/image/large-cb6fc9c3f7b8a2d7a3939f9cf2205dcd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357308">The owner’s suite benefits from a large office and walk-in dressing room, as well as his-and-hers ensuite bathrooms. The remaining guest staterooms can be found on the lower deck and consist of a large VIP suite amidships, a double stateroom forward and a twin, as well as a spacious lounge area.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357303/image/large-198524b4ad0c87393d516930bff95672.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357303">Option B reimagines the space usually used as the owner’s suite into an open-plan kitchen and dining area, with a large breakfast bar-style island separating her galley from her dining table. This then allows the aft space to be used for an oversized saloon, with large L-shaped sofas positioned to allow guests to admire the sea views. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357309/image/large-6d0ca6e01d0bfa4ed27d3f9a8389fe9f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357309">The lower deck has been configured to accommodate guests across three capacious double staterooms and two twins, all of which have ensuite bathrooms. In both layouts, her crew accommodation is placed aft, sleeping up to four.Among the Onyx 92 yacht’s standout features is her beach club, complete with a bar positioned directly at the water’s edge. Her expansive foredeck offers a large sunbed flanked by four lounge corners, providing guests with multiple zones for open-air relaxation and socialising.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357307/image/large-f7c09f30350ba6e4fa27631c10574de2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357307">The sundeck of the Onyx 92 can be configured in two ways, as either an enclosed skylounge and alfresco dining space, or as an open-plan exterior deck space, with lounge seating and an alfresco dining table for up to 12 guests.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357301/image/large-6654c35dfd6abc560ed86c5680cc4411.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357301">Performance-wise, the Onyx 92 is powered by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MTU (Company)">MTU</a> 2000 M96 engines, with the option of Volvo Penta IPS drives. She is capable of reaching 26 knots at full speed, cruising comfortably at 18 knots and boasts a transoceanic range of 1,800 nautical miles at 10 knots.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/357306/image/large-8d8e8ac8b5d371b3d3022562bf474ef5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/357306">Thanks to her shallow draft, the yacht is ideal for navigating destinations often out of reach for larger vessels, such as the secluded bays of the Bahamas and the peaceful waters of the Florida Keys.

Stemming from the drawboards of the designer Demetrius Tănase Yacht Design,&nbsp;Ardour’s design philosophy strives to exude the same passion and enthusiasm as her name suggests. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/336501/image/large-a7e63b156f896656e3721ea0b52092fb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/336501"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/336504/image/large-ae499ca3270fea606fb4052a1383d46f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/336504">According to Tănase, “Ardour brings together passion, craftsmanship and modern design principles to create an unparalleled yachting experience.” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a>’s Simply Custom platform allows yachts to be customised to suit owners’ needs, building upon their existing technical foundation, which includes all-electric propulsion and energy architecture. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354790/image/large-8ff1ecefb09dcccd5df58ea4d115991a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354790">In the case of the superyacht Ardour, every detail draws inspiration from “emotion,” Tănase explained. From the outside, her exterior silhouette showcases smooth, flowing lines, with details that appear straight being slightly curved for a soft yet aerodynamic flair. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354794/image/large-540a6ced30571dad5bb3fb0995558879.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354794">Aesthetically, Ardour’s minimalistic decor is inspired by classic wooden yachts as well as modern vessels, amounting to a combination of beige tones, natural wood and golden finishes. A highlight throughout is the implementation of golden metal inlays in her railings, deck furniture, around the pools and in other areas. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354789/image/large-e95b390fd9093f5b1112670bfcd9a660.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354789"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/336509/image/large-0256714e0ba7d0028ab86ad21074dd8a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/336509">“Embracing the Simply Custom philosophy, every detail on board Ardour has been uniquely designed – including the loose furniture, outdoor sofas, tables, and chairs – ensuring a one-of-a-kind yacht for a one-of-a-kind owner,” Tănase commented. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354793/image/large-e249254664110e7067e608b3db44db40.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354793"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/336506/image/large-4a3239bc41b618619b3c9e1b4cd75d06.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/336506">Ardour’s lower deck is home to a beach club with an indoor pool and double fold-down platforms on either side that form a U-shaped stern platform. More alfresco entertainment can be found on the main deck, where an overhanging infinity pool is accompanied by sunbeds. Indoors, six main-deck staterooms are used to host guests onboard. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354788/image/large-b4dedcd4c1552befa80b09800f09dcf0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354788"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/336507/image/large-0e0e21db0e4a5e2fdb6288478090d603.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/336507">Moving up to the owner’s deck, a master suite equipped with a rotating bed ensures a range of vantage points depending on its position. Outside, the owner’s deck benefits from a private Jacuzzi, seating area and sunbed at the bow, along with a touch-and-go helipad and an alfresco dining arrangement seating up to 14 guests.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354787/image/large-a336e0f9703162c07129f39a15c14d82.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354787">As for Ardour’s sundeck, this space features another pool, sunbeds, an aft seating area, a bar and a barbecue. Moreover, the sunbeds here are flanked by high bulwarks, ensuring protection from the elements and safety despite far-reaching views. Meanwhile, the superyacht’s bridge deck offers a lounge with an exterior relaxation space. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354786/image/large-ee7ab82922a9a34cd5c9be8146676f26.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354786">Composed of a hull design penned by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5009" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lateral Naval Architects (Company)">Lateral Naval Architects</a>, Ardour is equipped with an all-electrical propulsion and energy architecture system employing a DC grid and onboard battery energy storage.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354791/image/large-3fa0c42e2419dc1f5217d5d10978821d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354791">Ardour’s variable speed generators are aimed at providing high fuel efficiency, with the ability to run on low-carbon biodiesel fuels including HVO.

Her main saloon bridges the gap between her indoor and outdoor spaces with sliding glass panels, which offer extended sea views and allow for a gentle sea breeze to flow seamlessly through her interior. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354753/image/large-4e639c54e3fb51040c8687b42cc6630e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354753">Elacca can comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests across five sumptuous staterooms. Her owner’s suite is situated on the main deck, while two VIP and two guest staterooms can be found on the lower deck. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354748/image/large-a31070a262b338d45d9774c22f6eb144.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354748">Elacca features flexible layouts, with loose furniture allowing for each deck to become a customisable retreat for relaxation and social gatherings. Her bow creates a serene setting, with a central pool serving as a focal point and allowing guests to bask in the sun.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354746/image/large-48c8aa97c00f213bddc0e1e6eff286ee.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354746">Above, Elacca features a crow’s nest integrated into the hardtop, offering an intimate perch for reading, unwinding, or enjoying panoramic sunsets.

By keeping this area separate from the yacht’s gross tonnage, the main deck terrace can be extended to an impressive 11 metres, providing more space for guests to enjoy. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354749/image/large-20f90556fa0a3a12db3ad958a9335730.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354749">Elacca also introduces a unique approach to tender storage. In this particular version of the design, where the owner opts for a chase boat, the traditional bow garage is reimagined as a private terrace for the master stateroom. This thoughtful adaptation enhances the owner’s suite, providing an exclusive outdoor retreat.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354747/image/large-98f6e96fbb7a7ea85db3064f03b72010.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354747">Elacca’s design prioritises onboard living, with her expansive outdoor terraces totalling an impressive 470 square-metres. “She is a statement of refined simplicity, where luxury goes beyond the physical and becomes an experience,” concluded <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6653" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jay Aberdoni Yacht Design (Company)">Aberdoni</a>.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8124" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Giamboi Designs (Company)">Giamboi Designs</a> has shared the renderings and details of a new 40-metre catamaran yacht concept named Axiom 40, following the recent release of the smaller 24-metre Axiom 24 concept last week. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354045/image/large-5c2b7b73568b4660b88909b9e9fa23a8.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354045">According to her designer, Axiom 40 “offers the volumes, features, and lifestyle of a 60-meter monohull – while maintaining the unmatched efficiency, stability, and shallow draft advantages of a multihull.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354049/image/large-23dad97a3344eb8a59c0629b73cbe275.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354049">One of the catamaran’s most defining highlights is her 120-square-metre beach club with a hydraulic platform housing a 10-metre tender, which can be lowered flush to sea level. The beach club also contains interior sliding doors from the aft section of the hulls and fold-down sea terraces, while VIP suites with balconies extend directly into the space.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354050/image/large-5a923cc684775a29cf320571b2eda569.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354050">“In most 40-metre monohulls, beach clubs are often 25 to 40-square-metres at best, due to the aft engine room and single-hull volume constraints,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8124" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Giamboi Designs (Company)">Giamboi Designs</a> explained. “Most 40-metre catamarans prioritise deck space and cabins but rarely dedicate this much connected, openable space at water level.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354044/image/large-f0dbf2b5e98adde1a98a90cf4a2b9019.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354044">On the main deck above, an infinity pool with a transparent bottom filters a kaleidoscope-like display of natural light down the beach club, and the central tunnel between Axion 40’s hulls is hidden via a waterfall feature.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354047/image/large-da0c261e786162f849701356cc6c7f8a.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354047">Axiom 40 is home to not one but three infinity pools in total, including a panoramic glass pool located on the owner’s forward terrace and an elevated pool on the sundeck aft accompanied by a bar and sun loungers. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354051/image/large-766adba6ea7304a82317583f1c036b1d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354051">In addition to the infinity pool, Axiom 40’s main deck features an indoor saloon with an open-plan layout, comprising a lounge area, a bar, a dining area and a dayhead. The main-deck owner’s suite spans 55-square-metres and is decked out in floor-to-ceiling glass, a private office and spa-inspired ensuite bathroom. This stateroom also boasts access to a 75-square-metre private foredeck with a glass pool and sun-lounge area. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354043/image/large-e25f9033b7bf8c53f37aa8f0de84b615.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354043">Moving to the lower decks, which consist of twin hulls, guests are welcomed by two aft VIP suites with beach club access through their balconies, and two staterooms amidships with the option to install balconies. Further accommodation is available for crew members in the form of three double cabins.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354042/image/large-0a1abc1524f58c59f8203f4d158cf4e2.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354042">As for Axiom 40’s upper deck, a sky lounge provides panoramic views, a bar and direct terrace access, while the wheelhouse has an adjacent captain’s cabin. Up on the sundeck, there are lounge and sun areas, a full bar, the glass-enclosed pool aft and the option for an open helm station. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354048/image/large-ca448f3ceb83fcdfdea73752a5f1f26a.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354048">Regarding her propulsion, Axiom 40 is powered by a diesel-electric system, which is aimed at expanding hull space, thanks to the absence of a conventional engine room aft, paving the way for a full-beam beach club. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354041/image/large-61f02f6cd51f18ce9e877b988c5ea259.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354041">Performance-wise, Axiom 40 reaches an estimated top speed of 15 to 16 knots, a cruising speed of 12 knots and an economical speed of nine knots, allowing for a 3,000 to 3,500 nautical mile range.&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354046/image/large-6d84a5f0c6947814f729a747462d36b8.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354046">

The yacht can also run hotel systems in silent electric mode for up to 48 hours and when battery levels drop too low, generators kickstart automatically for three-hour charging.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353861/image/large-b61e84f29902e47697ef9a5b18a7d9d8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353861">Moreover, the RPH version is characterised by a low-profile flybridge crowning the superstructure, while the sleek Coupe version displays a roof of the superstructure that forms a single convex curve.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353859/image/large-bf2e26bcd8e525984f4d6b54b35a939c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353859">All variants of the GX34 model boast a largely shaded guest cockpit aft with an alfresco dining arrangement and lounge seating. The lower aft deck is home to an entertainment and relaxation space, which can expand to more than 50-square-metres when the two side wings are lowered. The GX34 yacht’s design also includes the option of integrating a saltwater pool into the aft platform, which has been designed to lift and house a tender as long as 4.5-metres.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353855/image/large-5c66cc62877c68de194e2e2f59a6744c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353855"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353852/image/large-853bd86f064323f25b44f2e9b2473a52.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353852">As for the GX34 RPH version in particular, the flybridge deck has a flexible configuration depending on owners’ needs. The space is envisioned to accommodate a dining and lounging space as well as a bar, while designers have also considered the inclusion of a Jaccuzzi located aft with far-reaching sightlines.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353857/image/large-d7ce356ea2a576b460e290ed45dbb4bb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353857">Inside, the GX34 yacht offers five guest staterooms, including an owner’s suite positioned forward on the main deck. Here, the owner can enjoy 270-degree panoramic views of the scenery from the stateroom’s king-size bed.Although owners are invited to enlist their own designer in the project, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Marco Casali Too Design (Company)">Casali</a> has conceived the GX34 yacht’s interiors with natural woods, leathers and stones, along with aerodynamic lines that echo those of the exterior profile. The materials “are carefully selected for their sustainability, closing the circle on this yacht’s philosophy of Responsible Yachting,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7872" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="GX Superyachts (Company)">GX Superyachts</a> explained.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353860/image/large-71aedf78ced75bb627657fd3260efa31.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353860">Regarding her performance, depending on the package selected, the GX34 yacht can reach a cruising speed of 12 knots and a top speed of 15 knots.

In today’s superyacht landscape, luxury is no longer solely defined by a yacht’s design or the exclusivity of the destination. True luxury lies in the seamlessness of the experience – where every detail has been anticipated, and guests can immerse themselves in the moment with complete confidence. And yet, one of the most vital elements underpinning this experience – security – is often overlooked, misunderstood, or introduced only as a reactive measure.Having spent over two decades in the security and risk management space, including elite maritime military units, and working alongside Royalty, Government officials, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and private crews, Ben Gavins, Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8168" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ARX 360 (Company)">ARX 360</a>, has seen how expectations around superyacht security have evolved. “We’re not just providing protection,” he explains. “We’re integrating into a lifestyle. It’s about intelligent movement, emotional intelligence, and understanding the rhythm of life on board.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/356504/image/large-644c313b9c5be0717e3b1fe96b9bf61e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/356504">The risks you don’t seeSecurity on board is often associated with piracy or theft – risks that, while still present in certain geographies, are not the most pressing concerns for today’s owners and guests. Instead, the contemporary threat landscape is far more nuanced, with vulnerabilities arising from technology, visibility, and day-to-day interactions. These include:• Drone surveillance and paparazzi activity in high-profile locations• Increased social media exposure of guests, family members, and crew – often unknowingly revealing location data• Local opportunist crime during shore excursions, shopping trips, or tender transfers• Unvetted staff or service providers joining the yacht without proper background checksGavins highlights social media as a particular risk. “Posting real-time updates might seem harmless, but for high-profile individuals it can reveal locations, schedules, even security arrangements. It’s not just clients – it’s crew, family, friends. Everyone plays a part.”Such exposure can not only jeopardise personal safety but also undermine the security team’s ability to operate effectively. “Once a location is shared, it becomes a beacon – attracting everything from paparazzi to opportunists, and potentially worse.”Establishing procedures with clients around security often falls outside the purview of the captain or crew’s role, but it can have a major impact on the guest experience, particularly if a location is shared with paparazzi, for example, who then disrupt the charter and raise broader security concerns. Engaging security experts ahead of the charter can ensure that everyone is aware of the risks, and procedures can be put into place, such as delayed posting on social media, to ensure live data is not distributed into the ether. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/326727/image/large-0606eaebc55c2651f522da0e2007b6bb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/326727">Why embedded security beats standalone solutionsWhile security often becomes an afterthought, once a charter has already been coordinated, the introduction of a last minute, inexperienced security team can cause friction onboard vessels, at times even being viewed as an obstacle to operations. For example, if security personnel need to be accommodated aboard the vessel, this can cause complications if left to the last minute and lead to a frustrated crew and even to a compromised security plan.&nbsp;Embedding yacht security or executive protection personnel into the charter coordination from the beginning enables security personnel to integrate into the crew and into the management of the charter. It also enables the team to coordinate advance reconnaissance of charter locations, including risk &nbsp;assessment of itineraries, and seamless coordination with crew and shore-side logistics teams.&nbsp;An integrated security team also enables the necessary flexibility that comes with yacht charter. When plans change, as they often do, well integrated security personnel are able to adapt quickly, whether onboard or working with an onshore team, to provide short-term reconnaissance as itineraries evolve.&nbsp;“At <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8168" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ARX 360 (Company)">ARX 360</a>, we’re not there to take over,” says Gavins. “We’re there to complement the crew. Our role isn’t just to respond if something goes wrong – it’s to ensure everything goes right.” He adds, “The best security doesn’t stand out. It integrates.”Breaking the stereotypeIn many senses, the traditional perspective of security; suited strongmen with stiff demeanours, is entirely unfit for most yachting environments, where the setting is private, casual and highly personalised.&nbsp;As such, the security team needs to be appropriately experienced with an understanding of the nuances of both the luxury and yachting lifestyle. Ben Gavins explains, “I refer to it as avoiding ‘empty suits’ – those agents who are just standing around looking imposing. Our agents are intelligent individuals who are integrated into the itinerary, aware of the crew dynamics, and know how to liaise with key personnel like the captain, purser, or manager to help things run smoothly. Our aim is to support, not obstruct, the overall experience – for both crew and client. That applies on board and ashore.”This skillset has become increasingly important in recent years, as charter clients and owners are using yachts for longer periods, for very personal and family oriented trips, in which a security personnel could be perceived as an obstacle. Instead the team needs to create a safe and comfortable environment for the client, in which they feel unhindered and can conduct any activities with utter confidence. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/286276/image/large-1a1de47b5af69bc4f3f13bf690b09332.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/286276">Real value beyond the obviousA telling example? “Let’s say a VIP guest is planning a shopping trip during the Monaco Grand Prix,” says Gavins. “You’ve got crowds, media, opportunists – it’s a complex environment. The traditional overt approach to security can draw unwanted attention and escalate risk. Our approach is smarter: discreet reconnaissance, strategically placed agents, and seamless coordination with crew ensure robust protection without the spotlight.” This approach enables a frictionless experience. The client enjoys total freedom, without a single interruption – and without even thinking about, or being unnecessarily aware of, security.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8168" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ARX 360 (Company)">ARX 360</a>’s flexibility also extends to how teams are deployed – on board, ashore, or both, depending on the space and itinerary. “Some clients or crew are unable to, or don’t want to sacrifice cabin space. That’s fine – we adapt. We are able to position teams ashore with the flexibility to move at the clients discretion, with agents working in shifts onboard the yacht ensuring 24/7 surveillance without disruption to the guest schedule.”Advice for owners, captains, and brokersFor those preparing for a busy charter season or planning private cruising, Gavins offers three key insights:1. Integrate early – “The earlier we’re engaged, the more value we can add. We’re not just a safety net – we’re part of the service architecture and want to make things go right”2. Choose intelligence over presence – “Don’t just hire someone who looks the part. Hire someone who understands luxury dynamics and can operate within them.”3. Make security invisible – “If we’re doing our job right, our presence blends in, clients know we are there but we don’t attract unwanted attention and the yacht just runs seamlessly.”The role of modern superyacht security isn’t about control – it’s about contribution and team work. “It’s not about standing out and looking tough,” Gavins concludes. “It’s about being effective team players – with discretion, with insight, and with respect for the lifestyle our clients expect”In an industry defined by seamless experience, it’s time security was seen as part of the solution – not a disruption.&nbsp;
