Vitruvius Yachts

New – 80m explorer.

Introducing the 80m ultimate explorer concept by Vitruvius Yachts

The London-based design studio Vitruvius Yachts has revealed the first details of its latest superyacht concept: an 80m go-anywhere explorer yacht.

With the design following closely in the footsteps of Vitruvius’ 54.9-metre Shinkai – built by Feadship in the Netherlands and delivered in 2021 – this new explorer is notable for its long aft deck which is ideal for storing a generous toy collection or even a helipad.

Designed to satisfy the most active and adventurous of owners, the explorer boasts a vast beach club and health centre below deck, enabling direct and convenient access to the sea for water sports.

This new vessel represents Vitruvius’ take on the ideal explorer superyacht. She maintains her superyacht DNA through the innovative design of her exterior, as well as through the exceptional space and comfort which are offered by her interior. She is also a true explorer through and through, and will have an exceptional autonomous range of 6500 nautical miles to take her owners anywhere in the world.

Housing 12 guests across a total of 6 carefully-designed staterooms, the naval architecture of the vessel is informed by the success of Vitruvius’ previous explorer vessel, Shinkai, with her steel hull created for optimal efficiency and adhering to the latest industry criteria for sustainability.

With performance and onboard comfort key to the new explorer vessel – she is expected to reach a top speed of 19 knots and cruise with ease at 14 knots – special care has also been given to controlling any rolling motions on board – a trait which is also key for ease of launching her onboard toys such as submarines. Furthermore, the addition of gyro/fin stabilisers is also in consideration for the vessel.

Finally, owners can also decide to choose an observatory option for the expedition superyacht, which would provide a 22-square metre space to bring those on board even closer to the beauties of the night sky, wherever they might find themselves in the world.

BILGIN 263 TATIANA

Bilgin Yachts has currently built three units of the 80-metre Bilgin 263 series. The first unit of the Bilgin 263 series, Tatiana -also named as NB75- was launched in February 2020. The second hull –which is already sold- is planned to be launched in 2021 and following that, the third hull of the model will be delivered to her owner in 2022. The yachts reflect the shipyard's goal to be one of the prominent brands in the world.

Bilgin 263 yachts have sharp exterior lines and stylish interior areas offering a modern feeling. The extensive use of a contrasting combination of rich Macassar ebony, eucalyptus and plenty of marble creates a strong identity and luxurious feeling in the superyacht.

Emrecan Özgün, CEO and the Founder of Unique Yacht Design describes the brand-new 263 series as follows: "With her design and comfort elements, the Bilgin 263 is truly one-of-a-kind. We created a very attractive yacht with a sleek and sexy profile while avoiding high dosage design cliches. The increase in living areas normally result in bulky designs. The Bilgin 263 has a design attitude that will dominate the yachting sector around the world. This will clearly make her a trendsetter among steel-aluminium superyachts of today." According to Jonny Horsfield of H2 Yacht Design, the first unit of the series Tatiana has a stunning interior complementing the modern exterior lines. He says, “The client has been involved in the industry for years and has had several yachts so he knew exactly what to like and what not to like. He loves to entertain his family and friends to sit back and relax whilst cruising the Med. As a result of our works together, Tatiana appeared. This yacht is contemporary in layout with generous living areas, a huge spa and a beach club on the aft deck.” H2 had to translate the owner’s wishes into comfortable, luxurious yet usable interiors. Timeless understatement is indeed the recurrent theme on board.

80m Hybrid Explorer Yacht // Gill Schmid Design

80m hybrid explorer yacht with ice class and generous surfaces of glass.

Together with Tim Dempers Studio (exterior), Gill Schmid Design (exterior and interior) created the 80m hybrid ice-classed explorer yacht for the dockyard of Dörries Yachts in Germany. The yacht with straight, clean lines and a nearly vertical stem is a construction with a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure.

Aft is a touch-and-go helipad that is also a streetball/basketball court and covers the entire outside deck below.

A number of tenders and toys

The vessel features an A-frame crane that is fully integrated into the design (as you can see in the renderings below). This kind of crane makes it easy to launch all the tenders toys. Talking of tenders and toys, the yacht has a large capacity for:

• Two Triton submarines (3300/3, 330/1)
• One 12m limousine tender
• Autonomous underwater vehicles
• Four Sea-Doo Jet skis
• 10.97m Damen Interceptor 1102

The large tender garage on the main deck aft also transforms into a party deck when the tenders and toys are in the water.

Inside of the Yacht

The deck with the helipad offers a gym with a great view overlooking the ocean. Moreover, there are spa and lounge areas with TV. The outside space forward has a Jacuzzi, sunbeds, and armchairs with coffee tables.

The full-beam owners’ suite has a private outdoor deck, office, and private dining area for up to six persons. Furthermore, there are six guest suites and accommodation for a crew of 25 people.

Vitruvius Yachts unveils 80m explorer yacht concept

London-based design studio Vitruvius Yachts has revealed an 80 metre go-anywhere explorer yacht concept.

The studio, which is headed up by Philippe Briand, has conceived the yacht with a vast beach club and health centre below deck, enabling direct and convenient access to the sea for water sports.

The yacht will follow in the successful footsteps of the 55 metre Shinkai , which was built by Feadship and delivered in 2021 to a Vitruvius design. The 80 metre concept is based on the same platform, with a steel hull designed for optimal efficiency and sustainability.

“This new vessel represents Vitruvius’ take on the ideal explorer superyacht,” explained Briand. “She maintains her superyacht DNA through the innovative design of her exterior, as well as through the exceptional space and comfort which are offered by her interior.”

Briand also revealed that the yacht will have an autonomous range of 6,500 nautical miles that will enable the yacht to complete transatlantic voyages. 

The yacht will offer accommodation for up to 12 guests in six cabins, and is expected to reach a top speed of 19 knots with a comfortable cruising speed of 14 knots.

Special attention will also be paid to reducing roll, which will also help her to launch and recover toys and submersibles.

Owners can also decide to add an observatory option for the expedition superyacht, which would provide a 22-square-metre space for guests to enjoy.

ISA Continental 80 meters: construction well underway

ISA Yachts, a brand of Palumbo Superyachts, leader in the construction and sale of custom and semi custom superyachts, confirms that the construction of the steel hull of ISA CONTINENTAL 80 meters is progressing smoothly on schedule.

The interior fitting is expected to start in January 2022 with a potential delivery to the Owner in early 2024. 

Enrico Gobbi of Team for Design penned the exterior lines, while the naval architecture is by Palumbo Superyachts.

The construction is an ‘on spec’ project started and financed by ISA Yachts to reduce delivery times and offer a well-established naval platform adjustable between 70 and 80 meters of length.

The ISA brand has always been synonym for excellence and quality and the 35 superyachts, between 30 and 66 metres delivered from 2002 to date, actually prove it.

Palumbo Superyachts can rely on a network of 5 shipyards scattered through the Mediterranean (Ancona, Savona, Naples, Marseille and Malta) capable of providing Owners with professional services ranging from design to construction, and following with ‘after-sale’ support and assistance for any maintenance/refit job.

PROJECT NOTES

Project ISA CONTINENTAL 80 is a very architectural yacht with well balanced volumes and ‘streamlined’ lines. Its exterior design is highlighted by squared and rigorous windows for incredibly panoramic views from all the main indoor areas. A distinctive detail is given by the terraces in the central section of the boat; in particular, the one on the Upper Deck looks like a real balcony and lets more light flood the salon.  Other strategic areas are just as brightly lit, like the gym in the Sky-lounge and the salons on the Upper and Main Deck. Another emblematic feature of this yacht is the stern infinity pool. Its rectangular shape spans the beam of the deck and stands out for its aft wall formed by 2 glass sheets with water cascading between them. So arranged, the swimming pool leaves ample room for large sunpads and lounging, transforming this portion of the Main Deck into an extension of the actual beach area to which is connected by a flight of stairs. The Upper Deck can be considered a proper owner’s deck with lounge and living areas astern and the master suite forward.   Equipped also with touch-&-go landing, the yacht ensures direct access to the owner’s quarters for maximum privacy. The interiors will be designed by Luca Dini Design & Architecture and will include 7 cabins accommodating up to 12 passengers assisted by 19 crew members housed in 10 cabins.   The yacht has two MTU 16V4000M63L engines reaching a 17-knot maximum speed and a 12-knot cruising speed with a range of 6200 nautical miles.

Feadship ushers in the fuel-cell era with the launch of 118.80-metre Project 821

When the drydock doors slid open on 4 May at Feadship's Amsterdam shipyard, the yachting world was forever changed. Say hello to Project 821 , the world's first hydrogen fuel-cell superyacht. Five years in the making, innovation-packed Feadship Project 821 is the answer to a fundamental question: "How far can we push green technology on superyachts?"

Designed by RWD and with owners representation by Edmiston, Feadship's bold response was a multi-faceted, zero-diesel approach designed to cruise between harbours or anchorages and to operate the yacht's hotel load and amenities with emission-free power from green hydrogen. "The aim has been to develop a new, clean technology not just for this project, but for the world," said Jan-Bart Verkuyl, Feadship Director / CEO Royal Van Lent Shipyard. The size of the proposed yacht – 100-metres-plus – made it a good candidate to explore pure green hydrogen as the fuel-cell source. For those captivated by cutting-edge innovations, this yacht presents an opportunity for potential acquisition as it showcases the pinnacle of modern technological advancements.

Feadship's R&D team has been researching hydrogen, among other fossil-free fuel options, as part of the company's pledge to develop "net zero" yachts by 2030. Hydrogen fuel cells, a combustion-free way to generate electricity, have pure water as their only exhaust. Although there are hydrogen fuel cell-powered cars and fuel cells have been used as the primary source of electrical power on human spaceflight for more than six decades, nothing existed in the maritime sector. There were no regulations for hydrogen storage and fuel-cell systems at class, flag-state or even IMO level. Seeking expert partners from allied industries, Feadship, Edmiston and Lloyd's Register developed appropriately scaled equipment, protocols and safety regulations simultaneously.

"The value of the research as well the development of class and flag safety regulations for an entirely new type of energy generation is an advancement we are proud to have made available to all," Verkuyl said. Next year, for example, two long-route Norwegian passenger and car ferries will enter into service utilising the system pioneered with PowerCell Group for Project 821 .

From the beginning, one of the biggest hurdles would be developing a reasonable way to store compressed liquid hydrogen below deck at -253°C aboard a luxury yacht. But investing in the required technology is necessary to make the transition away from fossil fuel, and hydrogen is one of the most efficient and cleanest options. When hydrogen is processed in a fuel cell, the only by-products are electricity and water in the form of steam.

Hydrogen is light – one cubic metre of liquid hydrogen weighs 70kg vs. some 800kg per cubic metre of non-fossil diesel equivalent fuel (HVO or e-diesel). However, safely storing it on a vessel requires a double-walled cryogenic storage tank (a large very well-insulated cooling box in a dedicated room. Together, it takes eight to ten times more space to store hydrogen than the energy equivalent in diesel fuel.

In total, the cryogenic fuel tank that holds 92 m 2 (some 4 tonnes) of hydrogen on Project 821 , the sixteen compact fuel cells, their switchboard connection to the DC electrical grid, and the vent stacks for the escaping water vapour added four metres to the yacht's original specification length. Importantly, the fuel cells developed for Project 821 can also use easier-to-store methanol, a liquid fuel in ambient conditions. Steam reforms methanol into hydrogen before the electrochemical reaction in the fuel cell.

Even a yacht the size of Project 821 cannot carry enough liquid hydrogen to power a crossing, but Feadship could impact a yacht's carbon footprint where it is largest — generating electricity to serve the hotel load. According to the Yacht Environmental Transparency Index (YETI), 70-78 per cent of a yacht's total energy use per year is to supply its hotel load, with heating and air conditioning making the largest demands. Supplying that electrical power via non-polluting hydrogen fuel cells has a swift and significant impact. For longer travels or when pure hydrogen is not available, the electricity powering the 3,200 kW ABB pod drives comes from MTU generators combusting HVO, a second-generation biofuel that reduces harmful emissions by 90 per cent. The validity of powering the yacht's generators with HVO was tested and proven on the 2023 Feadship, Obsidian .

While large battery banks are becoming an accepted way to provide enough power to operate generator-free for silent nights at anchor or to cruise sensitive no-discharge marine preserve zones, Project 821 stores a mere 543 kW hours of energy – compare that to Feadship's first diesel-electric hybrid, the 83.50-metre Savannah launched in 2015, which stored a megawatt of electrical energy. Project 821 doesn't need to, her fuel cell technology can provide an entire week's worth of silent operation at anchor or navigating emission-free at 10 knots while leaving harbours or cruising in protected marine zones.

Project 821 also features the most efficient waste heat recovery system yet developed, a system heating everything from the pool, Jacuzzi and steam room to the ambient air temperature and towel bars and floors in the guest bathrooms. Further savings in the hotel load will come from a Smart AC system linking sensors to an energy management system that automatically reduces air conditioning or heating in unoccupied guest spaces.

But Project 821 has more than one superlative, she's also the largest motor yacht ever launched in The Netherlands, just edging out the recently delivered 118.00-metre LAUNCHPAD for flagship status. Despite the fact the two yachts have nearly identical LOAs, Project 821 has 30 per cent more volume. With five decks above the waterline and two below and even with her sleek mast yet to be attached, her height is commanding – the owners' deck, for example, is 37 metres above water – yet the profile drawn by RWD is flowing and modern. She also has the most hull openings of any Feadship to date including fourteen balconies that slide out from the 'tweendeck space, five massive shell doors, and seven large opening platforms, all of which create an impressive connection to the sea. The balconies are unnoticeable when closed but slide out at the touch of a button, carrying with them their side railings or walls. When fully deployed, their floors rise to become perfectly level with the interior room.

Project 821 is designed for family use. The full owners' deck above the bridge is essentially an apartment with two bedrooms, twin bathrooms and dressing rooms, a gym, a pantry, two offices each with a fireplace, and a living room. A full walkaround deck, with shaded areas FWD & AFT, there are beautiful locations to ensure time onboard dining and relaxing in the FWD jacuzzi.

The hefty 19-metre beam allows wide corridors inside and gracious sidedecks outside where guests can easily walk side-by-side.

However, the owner accommodation extends beyond a single deck. A unique and completely private vertical corridor extends to the lower deck. This includes both a spacious staircase lined with bookshelves and display nooks and an owners' elevator. At each deck level, there are inviting private lifestyle destinations to savour such as a coffee corner and games niche on the bridge deck, a library on the main deck, and a private dining room with a sea terrace and adjacent ensuite stateroom on the lower deck. It creates, in essence, a secluded four-level townhouse-by-the sea within the much larger yacht.

British RWD Studio created Project 821 's exterior, GA and interior décor. The designers used a pallet of light neutral colours in textured fabrics and leathers, marble, rattan, fumed and taupe eucalyptus, and limed oak to create a luxe coastal vibe. For overall cohesiveness, details such as door trim features and hallway railings repeat their shapes from deck to deck but the materials change.

Jan-Bart Verkuyl says fuel cells will play an important role for yachts in the years to come considering their superior efficiency, low particle emissions and low noise radiation. "We have now shown that cryogenic storage of liquified hydrogen in the interior of a superyacht is a viable solution. Future innovations on fuel cells and onboard reforming of methanol to hydrogen are on the near horizon. For Feadship, the bottom line is that the decarbonization of Feadship's upstream process such as our extensive use of aluminium produced in a more environmentally sensitive way and the production of net-zero carbon-free fuels or hydrogen carriers deserves utmost priority."

Jamie Edmiston (Chief Executive) also shares his experience with this project. "The brief was to build the greenest and most environmentally advanced yacht ever built, without compromise. It was a huge challenge, but one that the team has embraced and delivered on. The yacht we see today, designed by RWD and built by Feadship is without doubt the best yacht ever built. I am proud to have been involved since the inception of this idea.”

Charlie Baker (Director) adds “RWD are immensely proud to have been involved in such a forward thinking project, as a collaboration alongside Feadship and Edmiston. We hope it inspires other projects to think differently in the future”.

Project 821 is being offered for sale by Edmiston.
