The Dutch design studio Vripack unveils the 45-metre superyacht concept Krista, a yacht made for ocean exploration with clean architectural lines and artisanal craftsmanship. 
The 45-metre displacement motor yacht features class-compliant design and was originally conceived for an owner who specifically wanted Italian flair, combined with comfort, capability and convenience.

Intended to be anchored close to shore, the yacht has an unusually shallow draft of only 2.1 metres, making her well suited to shallow cruising waters such as Sardinia and the Bahamas. Bart M. Bouwhuis, co-creative director of the studio commented, “The cool factor is it’s super shallow, which is unusual for a steel and aluminium boat. Compared to other 499 GT boats, it gifts a lot of space with four guest cabins and one VIP suite.”

The owner's suite is located on the main deck to the fore, while the bridge deck opens into a large outdoor seating area, both to fore and aft. The yacht's sundeck features a lounge area with Jacuzzi and sunpads and features a skylight to maximise the light and airy feel of this deck.
