Built in 2006 by Lürssen, 59.4-metre Oasis features an exterior design by Glade Johnson and an interior by Glade Johnson and FM Architettura. Following her recent refit with designer Francesa Muzio of FM Architettura, we take a look at how the motor yacht looks now.
FM Architettura's brief was to transform the yacht into a family retreat. The owners wanted somewhere where all family members across every generation could gather together in one place. In order to achieve this, they wanted every space transformed into multi-purpose areas, while leaving the structure of the yacht untouched. Work began in March 2018 and Oasis was delivered on time and on budget in April 2019.

That meant creating a space that has a spa pool and sunbathing area but also one that could be cleared quickly to land a helicopter, become an outdoor cinema area for watching films, or transform into a gym or a dining area.

The base colours for the interiors were kept deliberately neutral, providing a restful background for wood and darker tone decorations to play out, highlighting shapes and lines. New upholstering materials were chosen and walls and furniture with briar wood were covered with ivory hammered leather and soft brown suede.

Francesca Muzio said: “I’m always inspired by people because spaces are very personal, especially when we talk about superyachts. In this case, the adventure was to combine the lifestyle of three generations in one boat, transforming Oasis into a new living experience.”
Oasis can sleep up to 12 guests taken care of by a crew of 16. She features one master suite, one VIP, three doubles and a twin guest room.
