model of the 40 M Sport Hybrid awards winning series – will be on display at
Monaco Yacht Show 2016 from 28th of September – to 1st October along the
Quai des Etats-Unis.
“Sport” indicates the high performance of this superyachts equipped with two
diesel engines which will give a top speed of 20 knots, with the ability to easily
cruise and with very low consumption at 16 knots. “Hybrid” is because of her
“green credentials”. She is able to offer a completely new way of yachting, more
conscious and respectful of the environment. Three-decked aluminum M/Y
Divine hosts ten guests in five staterooms with the owner's suite and study on
the main deck, and she can accommodates eight crew members.
While naval architecture and exterior designer - in cooperation with the shipyard
- is Hydrotec Srl, interior design has been conceived by Hot Lab. With its neat
vertical bow and automotive-inspired lines, the architectural point of view M/Y
Divine can certainly be considered a sport yacht although characterized by high
volume and impressive heights, unusual for a yacht of this size.
To reduce the mass of the hull structure from the side profile and offer
uninterrupted views from the main salon, the bulwarks feature glass cut-outs
that also serve as fold-down balconies. These are complemented by full-height
glass doors, which were engineered by the Shipyard to either slide or hinge open.
With the doors open and the balconies lowered, the salon becomes a floating
terrace with unparalleled sea views.
