The sun glistened off of Victorious, Akyacht’s whopping 85-metre explorer yacht, at the Monaco Yacht Show earlier this year. She was certainly one of the most show stopping yachts on display there. Notwithstanding the fact that she’s the 13th largest superyacht currently on the market, she garnered the attention of show-goers thanks to her elegant exterior styling, finished in light blue and which borders on a military aesthetic.
Victorious is a harmony of contradictions: warm, welcoming and deftly intimidating. It was a culmination of efforts from an array of designers who curated, crafted and delivered Victorious.
Her naval architecture came from the drawing boards of Marco Yachts , while her exterior styling was entrusted to Michael Leach Design, world-renowned for his stylistic flair. 
A select few boarded Victorious at the show, so her interior styling drawn up by H2 Yacht Design has been kept pretty much underwraps, until now. The design team had 2,2991 GT of interior volume to play with and they’ve cut through every inch with modernity and grace, emulating the look and feel of a five star hotel.
Each onboard space boasts its own character and styling, to provide guests with excitement and variety as they meander around onboard. Importantly though, Victorious’ interior may be highly dynamic, yet instills a sense of synergy. Up to twenty guests can be accommodated onboard, and they have ample opportunities to socialise in any of the many spaces that she offers.
The main saloon has a stark minimalist feel as it’s not only vast in size, but has been decked out in neutral tones to imbue tranquility and a sense of the serene. The main saloon is fitted with wrap around windows that are a perfect feature that accentuates the minimalist feel.
Delving deeper into Victorious and guests are greeted with a whole host of different textures, materials and features such as quartex marble flooring, soft carpeted areas and bespoke features that capture, but don’t keep, your eye. Heavy set mirrors and large windows have been cleverly placed to reflect natural light to all corners where light is wanted. 
When it comes to wining and dining, guests are spoilt for choice. Victorious is equipped with a cocktail lounge, a bar, and a very luxurious wine and cigar club room that features plush seating and a fireplace. 
H2 Yacht Design has also pulled all the stops when it comes to entertainment too, as Victorious is equipped with the works when it comes to health and wellness: a full gym, a beauty and hair salon, a massage area, a hammam and a gorgeous heated swimming pool, located in her beach club. She also features a whirlpool on deck.
When guests want to kick-back and unwind in front of a movie, Victorious flaunts a royally appointed screening room with heaps of lounge furnishings. 
The 24 guests that Victorious can accommodate have a choice of one of 12 staterooms to reside in, all of which have been elegantly penned and strike a harmony with the rest of the onboard living. The owner of the yacht will benefit from an exclusive deck fitted with all necessary frills.
Her explorer capabilities can’t go without mention as she’s been designed to be able to comfortably circumnavigate the globe. Getting her there are Victorious’ twin CAT engines that generate enough power to give her a cruising speed of 13 knots and a top speed of 15.5 knots. When guests do want to disembark and feel dry land under their feet, they can get there via helicopter thanks to Victorious’ helipad capable of holding an AC145 or equivalent.
