The evolution of yacht design – yachting style

The future of yacht design

9 September 2024

Author: Joanna Lewis

Yacht design is constantly evolving as yacht designers push the boundaries of traditional design and new technologies come to the fore.

The world’s most iconic yachts boast striking design features that set them apart from other vessels, from innovative naval architecture to design features that focus on enhancing a yacht’s green credentials.

Here we take a look at some of the most pioneering yacht design trends changing the yachting industry for the better.

Interior yacht design trends

Interior yacht design has changed significantly to factor in modern yachting lifestyles.

Yacht interiors now have a strong focus on flexible layouts that are more open-plan. Furthermore, there is a growing trend for onboard spaces that blur the boundaries between a yacht’s interior and exterior areas. Vast glass sliding doors that can be fully opened, retractable roofs, and fold-down balconies are designed to completely eliminate any boundary between a yacht’s interior and exterior.

Wellness is a big part of the yachting lifestyle, with private yachts now dedicating a significant portion of their real estate to spas, fitness suites, and yoga and meditation areas. Interior designers are also now bringing nature onboard, with hydroponic and vertical gardens that not only enhance wellbeing but also offer chefs access to an organic garden.

The latest interior yacht design trends are also harnessing exciting new materials such as sustainable textured wood, recycled glass, natural stone, and fine fabrics with a firm nod to organic forms that mimic nature.

Finally, advances in digital technology are transforming interiors, with vast tech windows or walls that offer virtual views and streaming services.

Exterior yacht design trends

Exterior yacht design has, arguably, seen the most significant shift in design trends from vessels with soft curved exteriors that mimic the organic shapes found in nature to avant-garde vessels that challenge conventional yacht design.

One key advancement in technology has been glass, which has led to a slew of eye-catching vessels with vast glass superstructures. Not only does the use of glass create head-turning vessels, but this material also floods the interior with light, while providing owners and their guests with breathtaking views of the ocean.

In addition, yacht exteriors are becoming more striking, with deck spaces being used in new ways. Yacht designers are now placing more emphasis on a yacht’s exterior with an increasing amount of real estate being designated to alfresco dining.

Vast beach clubs are now the norm on modern-day vessels, enhancing an owner’s connection to the water and direct access to the sea. It is common to see multiple exterior decks for relaxing and entertaining.

New advances in hull design are also helping to transform onboard comfort and the overall performance of luxury yachts. A hull typically amounts to around 70% of a yacht’s total structural design, making hull design a complex part of a yacht’s overall design.

Thanks to advances in hull designs, modern yachts now boast enhanced seakeeping and energy efficiencies.

There is no question that the world of yacht design is constantly evolving as designers seek to create ever more eye-catching vessels that meet the demands and lifestyle habits of today’s yachting enthusiasts

Monaco Yacht Show 2024: The Biggest, Boldest and Most Expensive Superyachts To See

Even in its 33rd year, Monaco Yacht Show continues to break its own milestones.

By Ellys Woodhouse and Toby Louch

The principality of Monaco has a calendar that’s filled with major events. While the financial benefits of this little tax haven ensure its population remains fairly well stocked with super-rich and socialites year-round, it’s these events that truly bring the masses. April calls for the tennis at The Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters; in May it’s time for the Formula One Grand Prix ; June brings the world-famous car show Top Marques ; and summer draws to a close with perhaps the most glam of the bunch, the Monaco Yacht Show, which this year falls on September 25 – 28.

For those interested in gazing upon some of the finest yachts that can be found anywhere in the world, Monaco ’s Port Hercules is a pretty good spot year-round, but for the weekend of the Monaco Yacht Show, things enter a different league.

The Monaco Yacht Show is essentially a gathering of the global superyacht community. From owners to innovators, manufacturers and brokers, all head to the principality. Each year, builders and brokers present around 120 superyachts and 60 luxury tenders , with many of these reflecting current industry trends and revealing the potential future direction of the industry. These vessels boast an average length of around 160 ft, with a sprinkling of superyachts that top the 320 ft mark – with this year’s headliner clocking in at 400 ft.

Aside from the yachts themselves, visitors can expect countless designers improving yacht interiors and engineers working to ensure the industry becomes more sustainable. There’s sure to be a lot going on.

So ahead of this year’s event, Elite Traveler has looked into which yachts will be on display at Port Hercules and curated a list of some of the show’s unmissable vessels. So blow the dust off your Panama hat and add a few zeros to your credit card limit, because these are some of the biggest, boldest and most expensive boats attending the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show.

H3: The Market’s Most Expensive Superyacht Debuts a New Design

The undisputed biggest headline of this year’s show – in every sense of the word – Lürssen’s Kismet will be the largest yacht to go on display in Port Hercules. While the previous title holder was another from Lürssen, the 377.6-ft Ahpo, the Kismet takes its victory by a considerable mile, clocking in at 400 ft. Previously known as Project Jag, the Kisamet was handed over to owner Shahid Khan in May 2024, making it one of the show’s newest deliveries, too. 

With exterior design by Nuvolari Lenard and naval architecture by Lürssen Yachts along with Reymond Langton Design working on the yacht’s interiors , Kismet is decked out with a helipad, beauty salon, indoor and outdoor cinema, dance floor and gym. Perhaps unsurprising, but all this makes Kisamet one of the most expensive yachts to charter , too, asking for €3m (approx. $3.4m) per week with Cecil Wright & Partners.

Delivered in 2019 by SilverYachts and refitted in 2024, the almost 280-ft, self-described ‘sports activity vessel’ Bold takes center stage at Monaco Yacht Show 2024. Designers Espen Øino created the superyacht’s striking, military-inspired exterior, creating a unique glass-enclosed loft on the upper deck that covers over 3,200 sq-ft of interior space. Meanwhile, Vain Interiors has created an opulent, New York-style loft, which is built to accommodate up to 12 overnight guests in eight luxurious staterooms and can carry up to 96 passengers while cruising.

With a a huge selection of water toys, a vast outdoor entertaining area with a bar and Teppanyaki grill, a cinema, an eight-person hot tub and a lounge surrounding a firepit, it’s no surprise that the Bold is a popular charter yacht, with Holl Robinson asking €875,000 ($972, 800) per week. 

Following an extensive, three-year rebuild, the most expensive superyacht on the market has returned to Port Hercules for 2024, complete with a new look – and price tag, too, asking for €295m ($328m). The 344.5-ft Oceanco H3 superyacht has already picked up a handful of international awards for the new look and is expected to impress many fans at Monaco Yacht Show 2024. 

In addition to the extra 10 meters that were added to the H3 ’s hull, the rebuild – from the likes of Reymond Langton Design, which worked on both the exterior and interior redesign, and the collaboration between Lateral Naval Architects and Oceanco on its naval architecture – also saw a pool deck, huge spa and wellness area and climate-controlled winter garden added to H3 ’s numerous amenities.

With its distinctive, shark-like exterior design, the 295-ft superyacht DAR will be hard not to miss at Monaco Yacht Show 2024. Built by Oceanco with exteriors designed by Luiz de Basto Design, the glossy black silhouette was inspired by the look of the hammerhead shark, with sinuous lines, wide set wing stations and a mast modeled after a dorsal fin. 

Meanwhile, renowned Italy-based studio Nuvolari & Lenard has crafted swooping, contemporary interiors. DAR’s impressive features include a complete owner’s deck, complete with a private salon and jacuzzi, a wellness area, an impressive beach club, and two helipads for private use. Offering grandeur and complete privacy in equal doses, DAR can accommodate up to 14 guests in overnight accommodation, with separate living quarters to host as many as 31 crew members.

Despite only hitting the waters in June this year, the first wallywind110, Galma , is set to make its global debut at Monaco Yacht Show 2024. Measuring almost 110 ft, Galma ’s naval architecture comes from German studio judel/vrolijk & co while interior and exterior lines are designed by Wally in collaboration with Santa Maria Magnolfi. With a design that offers the comfort of a cruising yacht while maintaining the performance of a racing boat, Galma is characterized by the 22.6-ft telescopic keel and an all-carbon hull that has been painted in light metallic blue.

Other highlights of Galma include an 860-sq-ft full-beam cockpit with seating and dining for up to 15 people, as well as an open-plan raised saloon. Galma can accommodate up to eight guests overnight, with five crew members.

Viva crashes into Fort Lauderdale bridge

The 94-metre viva wedged itself against a bridge in fort lauderdale, despite the captain and crew’s best efforts….

Viva raised eyebrows on Wednesday 10 September when it became lodged against the 17th Street Bridge in Fort Lauderdale. The 94-metre Feadship, delivered in 2021, was navigating the waterways when it wedged itself precariously close to the bridge, leaving onlookers both shocked and amused. Fortunately, the incident did not result in major damage to either the yacht or the bridge.

Among those witnessing the incident was Brant Reid, captain of Luxuria Vida , who offered some valuable insights to SuperyachtNews. “It happened early in the morning by the Hilton Hotel,” Reid recalls.

“I’m relatively new to this, so seeing a yacht of that size pull off that kind of manoeuvre, I wanted to stay and see how the pros do it. Needless to say, I was taught a lesson in what not to do.”

Reid admitted he wasn’t entirely sure what went wrong. “Maybe it was mechanical? It might have been due to the tide or the current, perhaps? But I can’t be sure exactly. From my perspective, it looked more like it was down to the current.”

As the situation unfolded, Reid closely observed the captain’s actions. “As the yacht began to turn, I did wonder what the captain was actually trying to do because it was easy to see it was going to run into some issues,” he explained. As Viva edged closer to the bridge, Reid noticed the crew scrambling to mitigate the impending impact.

“The crew began frantically getting the fenders out, but it ended up colliding with the bridge, and it must have done some substantial damage, cosmetically at least, as there was a very loud screech as it connected,” continues Reid.

“The yacht was moving back and forth, with little to no movement in getting ot out of the situation. At one point, the captain came out, looked over the starboard side, then shook his head and returned to the bridge. It must’ve taken him a while to get out of there, as it looked pretty stuck.”

Despite the crew’s efforts, Viva remained lodged for some time before eventually freeing itself and continuing on its journey, reportedly docking at the Port of Savannah shortly after. While the incident caused a minor delay, it appeared the damage was more cosmetic than structural.

While Viva had long been known for its advanced design and cutting-edge features, this incident served as a reminder that even the most experienced captains and sophisticated yachts can run into challenges.

Meanwhile, rumours are that Frank Fertitta, who played a major role in transforming the UFC into a global powerhouse before selling it in 2016, may have sold Viva to billionaire Ken Griffin, though no official confirmation has been made. Griffin, the CEO of Citadel and one of the world’s wealthiest individuals, is known for his interest in luxury assets, including a record-breaking $238 million penthouse in New York City.

Does Shaquille O’Neal Own A Yacht?

Table of Contents:

Shaquille ONeal, a former NBA player and DJ, has purchased a luxury yacht named Shaqapulco, which is estimated to cost around $130 million. The yacht, which is 84 feet long and 40 feet wide, can accommodate up to 149 guests and is believed to be a water villa. The yacht is known for its opulent amenities and is believed to be the name of his seaside Florida mansion that he put up for sale in 2018.

Shaqapulco was recently spotted on a 70-foot-long sports cruiser off the coast of Mykonos, where he enjoyed some downtime with friends before his next performance in Las Vegas. The yacht, estimated to be worth 3.2 million, is currently on his summer tour. The information about who made Shaq’s yacht is not available at this time. Some articles mention him owning a Pershing 72, but that yacht was chartered in Spain in 2019.

Oneal has used the yacht for vacations in the Bahamas and has been spotted on numerous beaches over the years, from Florida to Mexico. The yacht features a casual dining area, main lounge with piano and cocktail tables, and a chandelier large enough to span both spaces. The pool located on the yacht is also a popular spot for relaxation and entertainment.

In summary, Shaquille ONeal, a former NBA player and DJ, has a luxurious yacht named Shaqapulco, which is believed to be the name of his seaside Florida mansion. The yacht is estimated to be worth around $130 million and is a testament to his lavish lifestyle and financial success.

Does Mark Zuckerberg have a yacht?

Mark Zuckerberg’s new yacht, Launchpad, is enjoying its summer debut. The megayacht recently stopped in Mallorca and has since ventured further into the Mediterranean. It looks like Zuckerberg may dethrone Jeff Bezos as king of this year’s superyacht season.

While the Amazon founder made waves last year with the debut of his megayacht Koru, Zuckerberg is the name on the yacht world’s lips this season.

By May, the transaction seemed all but confirmed when both the yacht and Zuckerberg made their way to Panama to celebrate his 40th birthday with a fete that included a few spins on his infamous hydrofoil.

Now that summer is here, Zuckerberg has debuted Launchpad —and her support superyacht Wingman — on the biggest stage in the yachting world: the Mediterranean.
