LATEST SUPERYACHT<br />
Superyacht concepts come in<br />
all shapes and sizes – radical,<br />
ordinary, revolutionary and<br />
bizarre. We round up the<br />
latest list of designs from the<br />
industry...<br />
NAUTA 78<br />
The star attraction on board the latest superyacht concept from Nauta<br />
Yachts is an expanding beach club dubbed “The Island” by the designer.<br />
Sitting aft on the 78 metre yacht, the beach club features glazed transom<br />
doors, a bar, underwater “nemo lounge” and fold-out terraces on port<br />
and starboard. Accommodation is for a total of 12 guests, with the upper<br />
deck completely dedicated to the owner’s accommodation.<br />
SUPER EXPEDITION<br />
Created by Canadian studio ER Yacht Design, this 65 metre go-anywhere<br />
expedition yacht design is based on a modular concept. This means that<br />
yacht features a number of removable modules or containers of differing<br />
facilities, including additional accommodation, scientific laboratories<br />
and extra storage for tenders and toys. Studio president Ivan Erdevicki<br />
said the concept was inspired by the “wish lists” of previous clients.<br />
BULLDOG 88<br />
Presented by Italian builder Cantieri Navali Santamargherita and designed<br />
by Roberto Curtó, the 26.7 metre Bulldog 88 features a transformable<br />
layout, with large and open living spaces. Key exterior features include<br />
a large stern sundeck, including a 30 square metre beach club. The<br />
upper deck also features a sundeck area of around 50 square metres and<br />
includes a Jacuzzi situated at the bow for maximum privacy.<br />
COLUMBUS 120<br />
This 120 metre design from Hydro Tec has been described as the “natural<br />
evolution” of the 80 metre Columbus Yachts flagship Dragon, which was<br />
launched in March this year. Sporting “clean, crisp and sweeping lines”,<br />
the concept features a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, with a<br />
profile that “pays tribute to a bygone era of graceful ocean liners.”<br />
SILENCE<br />
A rare glimpse into the in-house design concepts at Feadship shows<br />
a 65 metre steel and aluminium superyacht concept called Silence.<br />
Designed with a female American client in mind, Silence is intended to<br />
“facilitate partying by day, becoming zen by day." Key features include a<br />
hanging pool aft, which is supported by a central glass structural pillar,<br />
Hydroponic garden, crow’s nest and touch and go helipad forward. MS<br />
