For years, Project 410 remained shrouded in secrecy. A few images from the build, the aluminium hull during the turning process and only limited details of a project deliberately kept away from the spotlight. Now Royal Huisman is finally beginning to reveal more, just as
This time, the name says a great deal. Odyssey does not simply identify a new Princess range; it anticipates the way the British shipyard intends to approach a size segment it has not explored for some time. With Odyssey 108, measuring 32.9 metres and 227
Some boats can be recognised by a single detail; with others, the silhouette alone is enough. VanDutch belongs to the second category. A vertical bow, wraparound windscreen, high freeboard and lines that strip away almost everything unnecessary have, over the years, created an identity that
On a 115-metre yacht, having more space is almost a given. Choosing not to simply turn it into more rooms is far less obvious. This is the starting point for HIVE, the largest concept ever developed by Feadship and a study of how the scale
Two different approaches to yacht design coexist aboard Heed. On the exterior, Alberto Mancini works with taut lines, sculpted surfaces and a profile made even sharper by the metallic grey of the hull. Inside, Achille Salvagni changes register: geometries become softer, walls curve, materials gain
Before taking on the oceans, Ferrari Hypersail needed a place where everything required to get there could come together. That place will be Livorno. The 100-foot flying monohull project will establish its operational base within Azimut Yachts’ facilities, turning the Tuscan city into a meeting
Years later, some yachts remain interesting because of the ideas they introduced on board. This is the starting point for our journey through 20 years of Top Yacht Design: returning to the projects featured in the magazine and looking at them again today through the
A superyacht may need a second boat, but not necessarily a conventional tender. Anvera 200 occupies the space between these two ideas: almost 20 metres designed to accompany the mothership, operate independently and take on functions that would otherwise require dedicated space, organisation and equipment
Swan Alloy 44 takes Nautor Swan into territory the yard has never explored before. At 43.5 metres, it will be the largest sailing yacht ever built by Swan and, above all, the first Swan constructed in aluminium in the company’s sixty-year history. It also marks
How thin can the boundary between a yacht and the sea around it become? This is the idea behind Clear Waves, the 70-metre concept developed by Benetti and Luca Dini Design & Architecture, where light, nature and architecture work together to create a more direct
