Powered by two Smit Man RB666 1,500 hp engines, she has a top speed of 15 knots, a cruising speed of 12 knots, and an impressive range of 18,000 nm.Her sistership, Elbe, is perhaps not as glamorous but shares the same active background in deep-sea salvage operations. The two ships were once part of the Smit seagoing fleet and carried out several towing and salvage missions around the world. Elbe’s time with the company came to an end in 1976 when she was acquired by the Association of Maryland Pilots of Baltimore and renamed Maryland. Nearly a decade later, the ship was sold to Greenpeace as the organisation's new flagship, Greenpeace, under which she circumnavigated the world several times until 2002. In the following years, work began to restore the Elbe as a working museum by the Foundation Maritime Collection Rijnmond in the Netherlands and was returned to sea in 2012.&nbsp;

Like many of us, they had a renewed focus, spending time with purpose and enjoying the best things in life. Relaxing on a small boat off the Greek coast, with clear skies allowing the light to dance on the waves, Kate and I decided to design a yacht that would truly distill the essence of time spent on the water.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/287790/image/large-a7a9be6b1d5e8393840f1cbb72937c7a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/287790">The design of the Kumu superyacht seeks to remove physical and visual barriers to the surroundings, enhancing the guest's view while onboard. This is achieved through skylights throughout the yacht, allowing the outside environment to seep inside. The master suite and main deck staterooms are set to showcase a skylight, allowing a plethora of natural light to flood the interior.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/287792/image/large-74279aa3b44513f258cc1748255722b6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/287792">An internal and exterior bar will flow from the main deck saloon to the aft deck, enhancing the yacht’s overall sense of unity onboard.

Showcasing a flexible layout, the superyacht can be configured with five staterooms, three crew cabins, and a spa room, or there’s plenty of opportunity to create further guest areas, crew cabins, and even a gym.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/287794/image/large-c58aea2e1969f61338755fd48e8b0ad4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/287794">Considering the yacht’s natural design, Kate of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7052" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="D-iD (Company)">D-iD</a> studio stated, “It was a perfect moment of maritime harmony that we wanted to capture for our superyacht clients. To offer them an environment in which they would feel entirely at home with nature, enjoying good company and exploring the sea. We have always taken a full life-cycle approach to yacht design. Kumu synthesises our dedication to designs that stand the test of time, providing their owners with the best use and optimum value both literally and figuratively.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/287789/image/large-d6e26ebe2129c5089517261644cd0221.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/287789">Kumu will display a 225 square-metre sundeck, featuring two fold-down balconies extending onto a large 65 square-metre beach club.
