The cleverly designed spaces will bring contemporary art directly to a global audience. This superyacht is envisioned as a vessel that transcends physical borders and challenges the conventional confines of art presentation. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293337/image/large-d360021258b82cd7774a848aaa8d2de9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293337"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/293334/image/large-a69069498a7f9af811c96c76b971185b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/293334">Charting the yacht itinerary, the inaugural journey commences in Malta, followed by appearances at Venice's Biennale and Cannes Film Festival 2024.

The main saloon is framed by structural columns clad in recycled nautical sailcloth, while her dining area features a sculptural table with a gear-shaped metal base and a wood top inlaid with pressed tobacco leaves. Surrounding chairs in curved wood are detailed with bronzed accents and ivory hammered leather, creating a design that defines the yacht’s onboard character. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395274/image/large-07e95344530c0eee52e87e2688e66a4b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395274"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395268/image/large-f299ae95b83285b23c4618adf9b45a9e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395268">At the centre of the space, two custom boomerang-shaped sofas in white chenille and dove-grey leather divide the lounge from the dining area. Functional elements are built into the space, with leather pockets and hidden storage beneath the cushions and a silk and wool rug below to mimic the branching forms of a river delta.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395269/image/large-33097a9ca9e6c34c4cc32279d71d40ee.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395269"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395241/image/large-4284b0e1b10280faac39b4b151cfb27c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395241">“It was important to us that every material told a story,” added Luca Boldrini. “Nothing is purely decorative. Each texture, each finish, carries a connection to nature, travel or craftsmanship, ideas that are fundamental to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Akula59.4m (194'11&quot;)Rossinavi2024">Akula</a>’s spirit.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365043/image/large-31c7c7e917927e2c82afaf1e3d590134.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365043">The owner’s suite of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Akula59.4m (194'11&quot;)Rossinavi2024">Akula</a> includes a private office. Dubbed the “madame office”, it’s a celebration of colour and individuality. Aviation blue features prominently across her &nbsp;leather desk accessories, the raffia wallpaper-lined bookcases and the detailing on the bespoke desk chair. The desk itself has been built from natural oak with hammered bronze detailing and hand-decorated bases. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395253/image/large-bb140479538c8a4506bae73017d24d93.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395253"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395254/image/large-5e793d7ef69f3518e71bbf21af8bf775.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395254">The space is framed by decorative panels embroidered with three-dimensional orchids, while the carpet below mimics the foam of waves crashing against the shore. “This room isn’t just about work,” said Muzio. “It’s a sanctuary that is elegant, feminine and energising.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395245/image/large-284ab752d07f0ad0aedb80dc91cdfcca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395245"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395243/image/large-f86c36352a28f0139a957f94c6f0d1c3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395243"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395247/image/large-b01f9c97658c14ef17097059b8255de7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395247">Further guest areas onboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Akula59.4m (194'11&quot;)Rossinavi2024">Akula</a> reflect the same attention to comfort and flexibility. One twin guest stateroom features a smart sliding bed system, allowing it to convert into a double room when required. Both beds are fully integrated into the interior architecture, with upholstered headboards and matching bedside tables.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395286/image/large-dd88e00906e3d7dc5f5879418c1db72c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395286"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395281/image/large-72fc08138f6fded2245fdd6e8d821c7b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395281"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395270/image/large-8bd1fa3fbdf82252566d09841b782a68.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395270">Materials again take centre stage, with wallpapered ceilings, leather accents and roman blinds made from raffia interwoven with metallic threads, which catch the sunlight during the day. The custom-designed carpet, made from wool and botanical silk, continues the theme of nature-inspired texture.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395255/image/large-c01523280fe4b28a5db6c425c8580ede.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395255"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395256/image/large-fbdd6477754a5f740cacecd1a01dc54b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395256"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395273/image/large-8f0a1e7f851f1eee23463a9f44c9f0fd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395273">Even the guest bathrooms have their own storyline. Here, Francesca Muzio has embraced the romance of travel with a design inspired by vintage steamer trunks, complete with &nbsp;bronze hardware, leather handles and cabinetry in warm oak and dark European maple. The washbasins are finished in Imperial Beige marble, further enhancing the refined yet &nbsp;tactile atmosphere.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395298/image/large-c4367103fda7023f8b0c6d1f6e5f9451.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395298"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395264/image/large-766f12a14112b6d835f5c5a8cef4c5e5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395264"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395280/image/large-a5c5a8bf1fa763df6378a380e7f2b4f3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395280">Beneath her refined interiors, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Akula59.4m (194'11&quot;)Rossinavi2024">Akula</a> remains a highly capable expedition yacht. With hybrid propulsion, a large Limo Tender and dive/exploration tender housed in an aft garage and with a transoceanic range of over 8,000 nautical miles, she’s fully equipped for long-range adventure. On deck, guests can enjoy a full teppanyaki bar and a spa pool on the sundeck, &nbsp;while a generous beach club connects them directly to the water. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395276/image/large-32d1ccd66402dc067c5800e52a820bad.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395276"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395235/image/large-e7cd60bd765d93c89ab3737d38e3e61c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395235">“<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Akula59.4m (194'11&quot;)Rossinavi2024">Akula</a> is not defined by ruggedness alone.

The 23.85-metre superyacht, named <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/16808" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Slow Ride23.85m (78'3&quot;)Bering Yachts2026">Slow Ride</a>, is currently in process of delivery at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4385" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bering Yachts (Company)">Bering Yachts</a>, in Turkey. Earlier this year, Paul visited the yard for the yacht’s official launch.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398589/image/large-392751553f2d2f178de6f73300a22a02.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398589">The yacht’s name comes from a song by Foghat, and is something Paul’s entire family connected with. “We narrowed it down from about a 100 names to 10, and then five and then three, and eventually I just pulled the trigger. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/16808" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Slow Ride23.85m (78'3&quot;)Bering Yachts2026">Slow Ride</a> made the most sense, we all related to it”, recalls Paul, who is very much a family man. On a cloudy day in January, as the yacht was launched, Paul blasted 'Slow Ride'&nbsp;on the yacht’s speakers whilst taking the yacht for her very first ride.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382519/image/large-136ef5f4fa7f10e6c8be257f7d67b10b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382519" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"> Love at first sightPaul has closely followed the build process along. “From the time of ordering the boat to hand over, it’s a long period,” shares Paul. Yet building his very own yacht is something Paul has thought about for a long time. “We’ve had used boats, I’ve always fixed them up, put the systems I wanted on them,” Paul continues, “I was watching boating videos and stumbled upon the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/16808" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Slow Ride23.85m (78'3&quot;)Bering Yachts2026">Bering Yachts</a> channel, and decided to give them a call.”“Honestly, we didn’t actually look anywhere else,” Paul mentions, “when I saw the videos and chatted with Alexei, he was just so down-to-earth, and I loved the style of the boat, it was unique looking.” Paul felt like the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4385" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bering Yachts (Company)">Bering Yachts</a> Shipyard in Antalya was the right fit, “the yacht is a steel hull, which is precisely what I was looking for.”Having always owned pre-built yachts, Paul’s patience has been tested, not just because of his excitement to cruise onboard the yacht, but also because a week after signing the deal, Paul’s other yacht, sitting in Fort Myers, Florida, was destroyed by hurricane Ian. “It’s quite surreal that it happened like that.” Getting to launch the yacht and see her touch the water was a great moment of both relief and excitement.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382538/image/large-b3a6aabc47478833dc3131bd137e923b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382538">Designing a superyachtThe yacht is a semi-custom, so while the bones were pre-designed, there were plenty of choices left for Paul and his family to decide on. The stand-out choice has been the colour of the hull: “we probably went through 15 or 20 different colour renders, and Carol likes blue, so we were searching for the perfect colour” Paul recalls. Upon finding a colour they liked, Paul asked the yard to send a big colour swatch: “a computer only shows so much, but as soon as we saw the swatch we fell in love with the colour.”The interiors feature a softer, more neutral palette than the teal exterior, across an open floor plan that seamlessly connects the galley with the saloon and features large windows, providing plenty of natural lighting. The galley looks out onto the aft deck, where a table for ten creates the ideal place for al fresco dining, enjoying sunsets or a delicious morning coffee.A diesel electrician by trade, Paul is especially happy with how the engine room turned out. “Anything mechanical I love,” Paul highlights, “we’ve packed that room like you can’t believe: we’ve changed some of the electronics, the AC systems, upgraded it to 48 volt.” The engine room was expanded, getting rid of the crew head, as “we’re not really crew people anyways.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382508/image/large-8957a0d4c70d67e74479c8a653443b1a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382508" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Feeling secure<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/16808" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Slow Ride23.85m (78'3&quot;)Bering Yachts2026">Slow Ride</a> marks a sense of security, but also of freedom, and a big point of purchasing a yacht was ensuring Paul and Carol could manage it themselves: &nbsp;“It’s important to us that we can run the yacht by ourselves; not having to run upstairs, worrying about fenders.”The yachts that Paul previously owned were great, but ”they never had everything on it that we wanted; I was constantly busy converting yachts we purchased,” shares Paul. With <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/16808" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Slow Ride23.85m (78'3&quot;)Bering Yachts2026">Slow Ride</a>, Paul has “all the systems onboard: not having to go in for pump outs anymore because there is a sewage treatment plan onboard and dual water makers so you have the back-up.” A lot of the technological systems introduced onboard are not just for comfort of long distance cruising, but also to feel safe and secure when cruising: “Just knowing all this is onboard, in case something happens while cruising with my family, I don’t worry so much,” shares Paul.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398588/image/large-2631ff32ceef53dd64b3c6380ef5683d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398588" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">A sense of freedomOne place that is definitely on the cruising destination is a little fishermen village, near the shipyard that Paul and Carol visited a while ago. “We befriended the owner of a restaurant, he’s a fantastic chef, and we promised that once we have the yacht, we’ll come visit and enjoy dinner together.”&nbsp;Besides the shores of Turkey, Paul is eager to explore the Mediterranean: “We’ve never boated in the Mediterranean, but I’ve done lots of research on it, followed lots of sailboaters online.” Having itineraries planned out, thanks to fellow yachties, and with the yacht ready cruise, Paul and Carol are bound to have a great summer in the Mediterranean, “getting as close to shore as I can with the shallow draft.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398590/image/large-1289eb29cd7094aadb3ee64b0312c4f1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398590" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">
