The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/258" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dubai International Boat Show - 2025">Dubai International Boat Show (DIBS)</a>, the leading maritime event in the Gulf region, is gearing up for its 31st edition. Scheduled from 19-23 February 2025 at Dubai Harbour, this year marks its fourth consecutive year at one of the region's most advanced marinas. Organised by the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5344" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dubai World Trade Centre (Company)">Dubai World Trade Centre</a> (<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5344" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dubai World Trade Centre (Company)">DWTC</a>), the show is set to feature an impressive array of over 200 yachts and watercraft from world-renowned builders, promising to be a spectacle of innovation and luxury.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345859/image/large-6cd9667d1745348ae5a093c1af6910d0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345859">History and evolution of DIBS&nbsp;Launched in 1992 as the 'Watersports &amp; Powerboat Show', the event began as an indoor exhibition at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5344" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dubai World Trade Centre (Company)">DWTC</a>, attracting 55 exhibitors and 3,000 visitors.

The Dubai International Boat Show (DIBS), the leading maritime event in the Gulf region, is gearing up for its 31st edition. 

Kicking off between 8 and 12 May 2025 in Göcek, Fethiye, the inaugural <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/284" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Show Türkiye - 2025">Superyacht Show Türkiye</a> 2025 is set to make a name for itself amongst international boat shows worldwide. SuperYacht Times Features Writer Emma Dailey sat down with the makers behind this unmissable four-day event to learn how they are strengthening the Turkish yachting sector and breaking the boat show mould.&nbsp;At the show, visitors will be able to peruse a display of traditional Turkish wooden gullets as well as state-of-the-art builds. Additionally, participating companies are set to showcase their forward-thinking concepts and international yacht debuts, while key speakers share their insights into the latest industry trends.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/352767/image/large-8d773b044a528ee95fe953c2425037c1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/352767">Despite its coastal positioning, large-scale maritime fairs are a rare sight in Göcek, as many boat shows flock to the densely populated Istanbul instead. Even so, the often overlooked Göcek is a crucial spot on many yacht travel routes, boasting an impressive seven full-equipped marinas in total. Owner Mehmet Kabak has even bigger aspirations for the region’s future, explaining “our goal is to organise three sectoral events annually in this region, including the boat show.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/352770/image/large-2bbf92f452a80827f926ba0bf8d20d1c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/352770">Why the Superyacht Show Türkiye 2025?One of the most standout aspects of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/284" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Show Türkiye - 2025">Superyacht Show Türkiye</a> is the location named in its title. “According to recent reports,” Kabak said, “Turkey ranks second in the world in yacht production. We have a significant number of shipyards offering specialised productions and various options, as well as the potential to provide all technical support.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/352774/image/large-203250c14a5beff5fefc0f188afbe653.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/352774">“We believe that the production power of Turkey has not been adequately emphasised in fairs held within the country, and international participation is often lower than expected. Göcek offers us a unique advantage in this regard,” Kabak continued.Not only that, but the bustling yacht tourism present in the region perfectly complements the entertainment activities and evening mixer events set to occur over the four days, creating an ideal springboard for networking with yachting enthusiasts and experts. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/352771/image/large-741934102d901c445e78a009e692b9bb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/352771">Broadening Turkish horizons “Türkiye is almost a peninsula, and while maritime culture was initially prevalent in coastal cities, it has recently spread to inland areas as well,” Kabak explained. In the past five years especially, the country has seen a breakthrough, as increases in their logistical capabilities have “placed us very close to key countries in yacht production, such as Italy and the Netherlands,” Kabak said.&nbsp;More and more yacht manufacturers are branching into refit operations on a daily basis, while many refit firms are taking initiative to full-scale production, making it a destination for every stage of the vessel’s life cycle and global player in yachting. “We can also observe that Turkish companies have achieved significant sales figures in the global market,” Kabak added. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/352768/image/large-ab93eeeef39e15eeef17378be2f94fa7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/352768">Keeping up with the latest trendsAs a brand new event, much of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/284" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Show Türkiye - 2025">Superyacht Show Türkiye</a>’s exhibitions will centre around relevant and popular topics in the yachting industry. One such subject is that of sustainability, as the show will address eco-friendly yacht designs and technology that strive to reduce environmental footprints. There will also be a special focus on the growing demand for custom-build yachts, exploring the industry’s shift to pioneering personalisation.“Another trend is the integration of advanced technologies, such as smart connectivity and AI-driven navigation systems, which enhance both the performance and the overall experience of yachting. Furthermore, the rise of experiential travel has led to a greater emphasis on creating unique and immersive experiences for yacht owners and charter clients. Through our event, we aim to showcase these trends and provide a platform for industry professionals to connect, exchange ideas, and explore the future of yachting,” Kabak commented. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/352769/image/large-1f293c7d251d7518d5be10e51bce25ca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/352769">Reaching a new client base In addition to exhibiting an exciting array of vessels, high-profile deals and partnerships, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/284" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Show Türkiye - 2025">Superyacht Show Türkiye 2025</a> provides the perfect platform for yacht builders, designers and suppliers to reach new clientele.&nbsp;“We make it a priority to maximise the use of national and international publications, social media, and our extensive communication network,” Kabak explained. “Based on ticket sales, participant profiles, and the diversity of our conference speakers, it is clear that there is significant interest from different countries and various sectors of the industry. We are confident that this will contribute to increasing new client potential during the show.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/352772/image/large-3df47ad05e55dbaba8babe244d3747f9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/352772">A budding boat show with long-term potential&nbsp;Originally founded with the goal of organising three sectoral events annually, The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/284" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Show Türkiye - 2025">Superyacht Show Türkiye</a> team’s first event was held on 23 November 2024. Known as the “First International Women in Yachting” conference, the event featured 13 international professional women from various sectors of the industry congregating to share their experiences with other women in the field.&nbsp;“Expanding our conferences to other cities and countries and making this a traditional format is certainly among our long-term goals as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/284" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Show Türkiye - 2025">Superyacht Show Türkiye</a>. Regarding the Boat Show, our aspiration is to go beyond the marinas and event venues by integrating the entire Göcek area into the event. Our vision is to create a central space where the world of yachting and sea enthusiasts can regularly gather,” Kabak concluded.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/352766/image/large-a5d8e3c6488eff7090efd5a9c0102f38.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/352766">

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Videoworks Group (Company)">Videoworks</a>, a leader in advanced audio-visual, IT and communication systems for superyachts, specialises in creating bespoke onboard systems that combine cutting-edge technology with user-friendly design. Headquartered in Italy and with offices in the Netherlands, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Videoworks Group (Company)">Videoworks</a> has built a strong reputation for delivering innovative and reliable solutions tailored to the unique demands of the superyacht industry.With over 25 years of experience, they enhance the onboard experience with features such as immersive entertainment systems and advanced lighting and climate controls. Continuing its drive for innovation, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Videoworks Group (Company)">Videoworks</a> has introduced a groundbreaking advancement in onboard automation, a new domotic control system that combines cutting-edge technology with the timeless simplicity of a physical remote control.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/352407/image/large-542697ef7208653729b3ba499364805f.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/352407">In an age where smart home devices like Alexa and Google Home have made household automation more intuitive, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Videoworks Group (Company)">Videoworks</a> is bringing the same streamlined functionality to the world of luxury yachts. Their goal is simple, to enhance comfort and convenience, without compromising sophistication.This new approach reflects a "Back to the Future" philosophy: a return to intuitive, tactile design, while leveraging advanced engineering. For years, yacht domotic systems have centred around touchscreen tablets, which, while technically impressive, often prove cumbersome for guests and owners unfamiliar with the interfaces. Navigating complex digital menus to adjust lighting, temperature, or audio settings can detract from the overall onboard experience. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Videoworks Group (Company)">Videoworks</a>’ latest solution prioritises simplicity, by replacing these complex interfaces with a straightforward remote that features tactile buttons for adjusting key functions like audio, TV, lighting and room temperature.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/352411/image/large-fadab9bc7cfc79dfaf767a48050c0c1e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/352411">Responding to owner and guest feedbackThe inspiration for this shift came directly from the company’s clients. Yacht owners and guests frequently expressed frustration with overcomplicated control systems that required learning new interfaces and navigating through complex apps just to complete simple tasks.“The idea came from listening to our customers,” explains Francesco Pierpaoli, Chief Information Officer (CIO) at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Videoworks Group (Company)">Videoworks</a>. “They increasingly express a desire for simplicity and ease of use. For instance, in a cabin setting, having a physical remote with just a few intuitive buttons is far more convenient than dealing with an iPad touchscreen. This feedback helped shape our focus on creating a seamless and distraction-free user experience.”This reflects a broader shift within the luxury market. In industries such as automotive and high-end consumer electronics, manufacturers have been moving towards more user-friendly interfaces that maintain sophisticated functionality without overwhelming the user.High-performance cars now feature simplified dashboards and voice-activated controls, while smart home devices are designed to function with minimal user input. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Videoworks Group (Company)">Videoworks</a> is bringing this same philosophy to superyacht technology, ensuring that even the most advanced systems remain approachable and easy to use.Blending simplicity with advanced technologyThe new system from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Videoworks Group (Company)">Videoworks</a> is not just about convenience, it also leverages advanced technology to enhance performance and flexibility. The physical remote is designed to be reliable and responsive, ensuring that commands are executed quickly and accurately. High-speed wireless connections, now a standard feature on large yachts, enable seamless communication between the remote and the yacht’s central systems.A key feature of the new system is its compatibility with guests’ personal devices. Just as smart TVs and home sound systems now allow users to stream content from their phones, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Videoworks Group (Company)">Videoworks</a>’ solution enables guests to play their favourite music and movies directly from their smartphones to the onboard entertainment system. A dedicated companion app provides additional control options, allowing guests to adjust audio levels, change lighting scenes and manage room temperature from their phone.&nbsp;This flexibility is especially valuable in cabin settings, where personal preference is key. Whether a guest wants to create a relaxing atmosphere with soft lighting and ambient music or adjust the temperature for a comfortable night’s sleep, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Videoworks Group (Company)">Videoworks</a> system ensures that these adjustments are easy and intuitive. The combination of tactile controls and app-based functionality enhances the overall onboard experience.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/341347/image/large-73142708786cf8a25163a977bfa77c33.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/341347">Setting a new standard for yacht automation<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Videoworks Group (Company)">Videoworks</a>’ new system represents a significant step forward in onboard automation, setting a new standard for how technology can enhance the luxury yachting experience. By focusing on user convenience and intuitive design, the company is bridging the gap between high-tech functionality and everyday practicality.Stefan Nieuwenhuys, Managing Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3559" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Videoworks Group (Company)">Videoworks</a> Europe BV, highlighted the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation: “Our team in Italy and the Netherlands has consistently demonstrated an exceptional level of expertise and dedication. Through its continued innovation, Videoworks is setting new standards for onboard automation, making luxury yachting experiences more intuitive and accessible.”Read: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/62235" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Meet Stefan Nieuwenhuys: Videoworks’ new Managing Director (2024-12-16 12:00:00 +0100)">Meet Stefan Nieuwenhuys: Videoworks’ new Managing Director</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/352406/image/large-04f13598aa28a7c5c80ef5aa7e1f9949.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/352406">This latest innovation aligns with broader trends in the luxury sector, where customer expectations are shifting toward personalised and seamless experiences.

Since her delivery in 2017, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6503" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Shadow55.3m (181'5&quot;)Damen Yachting2017">Shadow</a> has undergone a series of upgrades, including the installation of a Nitrox diving center. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308112/image/large-74f15e4ed719c476e3c0066db6362452.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308112">Among her standout features is a powerful Heila deck crane, capable of lifting 12 tons at 5 meters or 5 tons at 19.1 meters, ensuring seamless handling of tenders, toys and equipment. Additionally, her dedicated fuelling station, with a capacity of 2,980 litres, allows her to serve as a floating fuel reserve for the mothership – extending the range of operations and enabling even more ambitious adventures.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308111/image/large-17a1582c949681302620913f3d9ae56c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308111">Performance is another of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6503" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Shadow55.3m (181'5&quot;)Damen Yachting2017">Shadow</a>’s standout qualities.

A standout in the 100-foot market, the yacht has been recognised for offering superyacht features in a smaller hull. Now, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/14230" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Majesty 100 Terrace/0132.25m (105'10&quot;)Gulf Craft 2025">Majesty 100 Terrace</a> builds on this success, enhancing the onboard experience with cutting-edge design elements that bridge indoor and outdoor living.According to Kushal Patel, Lead Creative Designer &amp; Client Liaison at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/955" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gulf Craft (Company)">Gulf Craft</a>, the new Terrace edition introduces key refinements to the Majesty 100, incorporating owner and client feedback from previous hulls. “We wanted to maintain the yacht’s DNA while adding modern features,” Patel explained. “The aft cockpit now offers an immersive experience with unique fold-down balconies, increasing space by 20 percent. The floor-to-ceiling windows maximise natural light, while the floating stairwell and smart features elevate the sense of openness.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351509/image/large-893082fe9d5e11147c93c67fdb66d5a0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351509">Ranjit Rajan, Chief Production Officer at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/955" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gulf Craft (Company)">Gulf Craft</a>, further highlighted the importance of natural elements in the yacht’s design. “From the outset, we prioritised seamless indoor-outdoor living, ensuring owners always feel connected to the sea,” he said. “This is why we introduced expansive fold-down balconies, large patio doors in the dining area, and a beautifully designed skylight that floods the lower deck cabins with natural light.”The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/14230" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Majesty 100 Terrace/0132.25m (105'10&quot;)Gulf Craft 2025">Majesty 100 Terrace</a> boasts a smooth, sleek and streamlined profile and has been engineered to excel in both performance and sophistication. With an impressive 199 GT, she offers exceptional space and comfort, with a key highlight being her private owner’s terrace at the bow. “This is something that has never been seen before on a yacht of this size,” Patel noted. “It provides unparalleled views and protection from the elements, giving owners a unique private outdoor space without having to step onto the main deck.”Rajan expanded on this, emphasising <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/955" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gulf Craft (Company)">Gulf Craft</a>’s approach to maximising air and light throughout the yacht. “From the rounded, flowing geometry of the interiors to the increase in lower deck window size, every aspect was carefully designed to create a bright, airy environment,” he explained. “The goal was to make every area on board feel open, comfortable, and naturally illuminated.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351511/image/large-e2a8e2946334d1ad2ecdfd61cf135d8f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351511">Gulf Craft &amp; Phathom Studio: A Continued CollaborationAs the second collaboration built between <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/955" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gulf Craft (Company)">Gulf Craft</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5530" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phathom Studio (Company)">Phathom Studio</a>, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/14230" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Majesty 100 Terrace/0132.25m (105'10&quot;)Gulf Craft 2025">Majesty 100 Terrace</a> benefits from the expertise of a design firm known for its fresh perspective. “We approached the project by studying what worked well on the standard Majesty 100 and what could be improved,” said Fábian Henke, Design Partner at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5530" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phathom Studio (Company)">Phathom Studio</a>. “We wanted to enhance the indoor-outdoor connection, so we maximised the aft cockpit, added a forward-facing owner’s bed to extend the stateroom experience and introduced a new staircase design to increase natural light throughout all the decks.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351510/image/large-cf0ab3ab6bf796b6c48a415e683db27c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351510">Her open-plan staircase serves as a focal point for her main saloon and dining area, providing ample light across each level from her skylight, all the way down to her lower deck. She has been crafted with rich marble, white oak, and brushed brass throughout, mirroring the shipyard’s strive for meticulous design and craftsmanship.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351506/image/large-fcc86b83210c911a5bf674ea322289b4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351506">A key element of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/14230" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Majesty 100 Terrace/0132.25m (105'10&quot;)Gulf Craft 2025">Majesty 100 Terrace</a>’s appeal lies in her balance of practicality and opulence, with material selection also playing a crucial role in refining the yacht’s aesthetic. Owners can choose between two distinct interior palettes: a light, nature-inspired theme featuring neutral tones and soft textures, or a darker, more dramatic scheme with rich contrasts and depth. Sustainable materials, such as recycled fibres in loose cushions and carpets made from reclaimed fishing nets, have also been incorporated to align with modern eco-conscious trends.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351589/image/large-46f0b4589d31c456008fdf82d7dc5198.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351589">“Incorporating natural elements was essential in our design philosophy,” Rajan stated. “We focused on soft, undulating surfaces, eliminating sharp corners to create a fluid, organic feel throughout. The combination of smooth edges, warm natural materials, and thoughtfully positioned lighting enhances the overall sense of tranquillity and harmony on board.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351581/image/large-2d20fb5a23cfbe6b9e8b3fea2150f7ae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351581">Lighting has also been carefully considered, with asymmetrical spotlights casting subtle shadows to add dimension to the interiors. Hidden design details, such as mirrored reflections of water and colour-blocked cupboards, further enhance the onboard experience.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351508/image/large-5056d8f0cbe23cbe798ee7bd796daa88.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351508">“We also introduced soft, flowing shapes and seamless surfaces to maintain a minimalist aesthetic,” explained Raquel Grijota, Design Partner at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5530" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phathom Studio (Company)">Phathom Studio</a>. “By incorporating sophisticated lighting techniques, including indirect lighting to create ambient moods, we’ve added a refined sense of depth to the interiors.

The yacht’s main saloon benefits from floor-to-ceiling glazing, allowing for an abundance of natural light while maintaining a strong connection with the surrounding seascape.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351587/image/large-ff5459fe3994b81a8565a3c48a176b7e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351587">“The yacht has been designed with both owners and charter guests in mind,” Patel added. “It’s a fully optioned vessel that caters to a broad audience. From the forward Jacuzzi and wet bar to the semi-enclosed terrace that can be used in any weather, every feature has been chosen to offer versatility and luxury.”In addition to the innovative terrace feature, the swim platform has been redesigned to offer enhanced connectivity to the water, featuring a comfortable bench for owners and guests to relax while enjoying the surrounding seascape.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List General Contractor</a> (List GC), a firm specialising in outfitting luxury yachts and private residences, is based in Bad Erlach, Austria. In January 2025, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a> announced its acquisition of a 49 percent stake in Interior PROMAN, an Austrian company that specialises in project management for yacht interiors.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351152/image/large-fd37c2ef68095e7b3d9aeccb721c3d2d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351152"> SuperYacht Times spoke with Rainer Gass, Operations Manager at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a> and one of the Managing Directors of Interior PROMAN, to discuss the strategy behind the acquisition of equity, its impact on the operations of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a>, and how it enhances their project management capabilities.Could you elaborate on the strategic considerations that influenced&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a>’s decision to invest in Interior PROMAN?<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/279344/image/large-94553a8e09ce38c192a988e05794e3ea.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/279344">We have enjoyed a longstanding collaboration with Interior PROMAN, having worked together on numerous projects within the yacht new-build sector for nearly a decade. Our relationship with their team extends over 20 years, during which we've built considerable mutual expertise. When one of the former co-owners approached us about acquiring a stake in the company, our decision was straightforward. The investment aligns perfectly with our strategy to expand our capabilities, not only in project management but also in engineering. Currently, we employ around 70 engineers and project managers. With this acquisition, we will add 11 highly experienced employees to our team. Their expertise was a key factor in our decision to acquire shares and further enhance our operational capacity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344397/image/large-2597f7e32c82e18beec8bf87272c193b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344397">How does this acquisition benefit your clients in terms of innovation and customisation?The acquisition significantly benefits our clients, enhancing our capabilities in project management within the yacht industry, a field known for its complexities and stringent demands. As projects increasingly involve multiple stakeholders, tight schedules, and extensive customisation, the need for highly skilled and flexible project managers and engineers becomes critical. Our team excels in navigating these challenges, ensuring that we meet the diverse needs of our clients, whether they are shipyards, owner’s representatives, or family offices.&nbsp;By integrating more experienced professionals into our workforce, we enhance our ability to manage and collaborate effectively with designers and other key stakeholders, ultimately delivering results that align with our clients’ ambitious specifications and timelines.&nbsp;What distinguishes your company from others?<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351267/image/large-13842a1363cd85614c5c968b92fe59f1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351267">Since the foundation of the company in 1950, we have been a family-owned business, and this is a source of pride for us. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a> is constantly being driven forward by the distinct pioneering and entrepreneurial spirit of the List family. Since the beginning as a small carpentry business until today – the List family has always stood for the combination of tradition and innovation. Today, the third generation of the family is represented in the company and assures consistency but also a continuous entrepreneurial spirit.This year, we celebrate 75 years of company history and 25 years of experience as a turn-key interior outfitter on luxury yachts. Therefore, one distinctive advantage of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a> is the depth of experience we bring to each project. Managing a yacht interior project, especially for the first time, is considerably more complex than other types of project management, such as residential developments. The complexity stems not only from the sophisticated materials involved but also from the need to satisfy multiple stakeholders simultaneously.Which is more challenging: managing new-build projects or refit operations? How do the skills and methods employed in these two areas complement each other within your teams?<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351270/image/large-a5909ae19bfcdcc0a2e454d908ba985b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351270"> We've learned that not all project managers and teams excel in both new builds and refits, leading us to specialise our teams accordingly. Now, we have dedicated teams for each type of project, which enhances our efficiency and expertise in handling specific challenges. This specialisation allows for mutual learning; refit teams learn from the new-build teams’ structured approaches, while new-build teams gain flexibility from the refit teams.Our workplace culture is highly transparent and collaborative, resembling a large family of project managers and engineers. This environment fosters an effective exchange of information, particularly when multiple projects occur simultaneously at the same shipyard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351269/image/large-1ed54aef25c4ed1deb8f5e2e4013fc6c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351269">One reason these projects are so challenging is their uniqueness. Each project demands specific, detailed solutions, pushing us away from standardisation towards more customised approaches. This uniqueness makes each project demanding yet remarkably rewarding.What can you share regarding plans for the future?Currently, we have about 350 employees in three locations in two countries with nearly 12,000- metre squared production space, and our focus is on maintaining our revenue without overly expanding our size. At present, our strategy involves leveraging the strengths of our existing companies, including the recent addition of Interior PROMAN, but also our two subsidiaries in Germany, Cohrs Werkstätten and Riederle Werkstätten, to advance our business.A crucial aspect of our strategy, especially following our acquisition of a stake in Interior PROMAN, is to combine and strengthen competencies. This strategy involves not just maintaining but enhancing our workforce's capabilities by blending the expertise of our seasoned employees with the fresh perspectives of our new colleagues. This mix is vital for navigating potential future challenges.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351268/image/large-2c2700256cd1b2ad22e0f2b9c121d234.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351268">

As superyachts grow larger and more sophisticated, and their regulatory landscape becomes increasingly complex, effective yacht management enables owners to focus on enjoying their time onboard. Not all yacht management offerings, however, are created equal.&nbsp;While brokerage is the driving force for many of the large, full-spectrum yachting companies, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hill Robinson (Company)">Hill Robinson</a> has maintained an acute focus on providing an industry-leading level of attention to its management fleet.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/348402/image/large-4ca47d7fe4ce0a9390b1788c74ef28ad.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/348402" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Dedicated teams delivering unparalleled support&nbsp;A global leader in the industry with over two decades under its belt, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hill Robinson (Company)">Hill Robinson</a> has garnered a wealth of experience in delivering in-depth and highly tailored support. The company’s management approach centres on its Client Service Team structure, designed to provide each yacht with dedicated focus and care. Consisting of five specialised team members, each Client Service Team manages a carefully weighted group of yachts, up to a maximum of five.&nbsp;As Giles Hunt, General Manager of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hill Robinson (Company)">Hill Robinson</a> Europe, explains: “We keep the number of full management yachts assigned to each client service team as low as possible, rarely more than four or five, and sometimes less for much larger yachts with high volumes of crew and level of support required.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/348398/image/large-26f3fe85a5f6a2928eac7d35431eedf5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/348398"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hill Robinson (Company)">Hill Robinson</a>’s Client Service Teams incorporate five integral roles. The Yacht Manager serves as the main point of contact for owners, their representatives, Captains and crew for day-to-day operations and also provides direct crew management support to assist the Crew Employer when needed, while the Compliance Manager ensures the yacht operates according to safety and regulatory standards. The Technical Manager works closely with the Chief Engineer and Chief Officer to review and plan maintenance onboard and other technical matters, and the Account Manager compiles all the yacht’s running costs and creates realistic budgets for the upcoming year in close collaboration with the Yacht Manager and heads of department (HODs). Each team also comprises an assistant to provide additional help wherever needed.Streamlined and consistent communicationThe Client Service Team structure guarantees that each yacht has tailored, proactive and hands-on support, as well as consistency in response time and familiarity with the individuals they are relying on ashore. The same dedicated team, with the same knowledge, communicates directly with the captain, owner, owner's representatives and key crew members, streamlining information flow, minimising delays and maximising efficiency. With each team sitting together and collaborating daily, nothing is lost in communication, and every issue is handled efficiently. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/348397/image/large-a20c1aece65b20d917f0ac2e2fa902ab.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/348397" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">“Prospective clients might think that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hill Robinson (Company)">Hill Robinson</a> is too large a company to offer bespoke and detailed yacht management, but the Client Service Team structure makes our approach much more intimate and direct,” notes Giles. “The captain and HODs also have individual relationships with the relevant members of their dedicated team, creating a degree of autonomy between departments that helps prevent delays.”This personal approach is what sets <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2220" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hill Robinson (Company)">Hill Robinson</a> apart from other companies, with crew members regularly attesting to its standout service. “We’ve heard it time and time again from our crew that we provide an amazing level of communication, and the feeling that they can call someone they know and get the help they need from individuals with real experience,” adds Giles.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/345140/image/large-ed081235794cec685aa992454cfd9ef1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/345140">A bespoke approach backed up by extensive expertiseWhile the company maintains a bespoke approach to yacht management, the full breadth of the company’s global resources is available when required.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen Yachts</a> is nearing the completion of the seventh superyacht in its premium semi-custom Martinique model, the 37.4-metre YN205. Scheduled for delivery in April 2025, the yacht is currently listed for sale with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a>, following the Dutch shipyard’s exclusive sales agreement with the brokerage in September 2024.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347972/image/large-15b2ec0f2b51f4633dd247737a4e2c04.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347972">The Martinique success storyRenowned for her long-range steel hull, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> 122 Martinique offers the perfect blend of elegance and functionality. “The Martinique model has been popular from the start, not just with experienced owners but also with the jury of the World Superyacht Awards,” shared Nicky van Zon, Technical Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen Yachts</a>. “The first in the line won the Neptune for best in her class, and to date, there are no Martinique yachts on the second-hand market.”Matthew Stone, Global Sales Consultant and Managing Partner for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> in California, added: “The Martinique model fills a market gap, offering an economical yacht to own and operate with Northern European pedigree – a rarity in this segment. It’s ideal for an experienced owner, the charter market, and beyond.” Richard Gray, Global Sales Consultant and head of Sales for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> in the UK, agreed: “Few competitors offer a similar steel hull and aluminium superstructure, with the next delivery from others not available until 2031.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347969/image/large-be0769ccfb2e2fc5914a31c8a19f0ae0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347969">Spacious, elegant, and durableThe fast-displacement hull of the Martinique model is built with high-tensile steel, creating a lighter yacht without sacrificing comfort and strength. This innovation pairs durability with sleek lines and an impressive 345 GT volume – a standout feature in her class. “Achieving this interior volume while preserving the yacht’s elegant exterior lines was an intense process, made possible through close collaboration with exterior designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/241" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="René van der Velden Yacht Design (Company)">René van der Velden</a> and naval architect <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Diana Yacht Design (Company)">Diana Yacht Design</a>,” said Nicky.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/299269/image/large-818a3710a040f9c99d60192a9b7e6f87.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/299269">While the 345 GT volume is remarkable, it’s the efficient use of space that truly stands out. Guest areas have been optimised in the main saloon, bridge deck sky lounge, and even crew quarters, thanks to a wide-pointed superstructure and input from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6871" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hollander Yacht Design (Company)">Hollander Yacht Design</a>. “Floor-to-ceiling windows and seamless indoor-outdoor flow further enhance the sense of spaciousness,” he added. “At boat shows, we often need to explain that our Martinique model is only 37.4 metres long – not 40 metres."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347971/image/large-acb8a2861741458495201bae97fce4a0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347971" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Versatile and customisableYN205 offers an even more spacious and versatile layout than earlier Martinique yachts. This latest model features a fully commercial stainless steel galley, an extended sun deck, a 20-square-metre swim platform equipped with a hydraulic Z-lift, and more.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347975/image/large-a132b9e051420cb3896da636bac078f1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347975" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Customisation options remain a hallmark of the model. “We can adapt exterior layouts with elements like sofas, Jacuzzis, bars, and loose furniture, while interiors remain flexible. It’s in our DNA to go the extra mile to realise an owner’s vision, even late in the build process,” said Nicky.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347976/image/large-835ddc19ab26030941270fc79c112f83.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347976">The yacht accommodates 12 guests across two VIP staterooms and two en-suite guest staterooms, with a crew of seven. “Its versatile layout makes it equally ideal for families, couples, or singles. Combined with its transatlantic capabilities, this flexibility makes YN205 an excellent choice for the charter market,” added Matthew.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347977/image/large-e93d5bde5e0d55570a6c56ee0bc91230.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347977" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Built for Transatlantic adventureThe Martinique model was originally envisioned as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a>’s Caribbean-focused range, tailored for the US market. “We optimised the yacht’s length, beam, and height, achieving an impressively low draft of just 2.15 metres – ideal for shallow Caribbean waters – and a top speed of 17 knots,” said Nicky.With a range of 4,000 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 10 knots, “Martinique yachts have demonstrated transatlantic capabilities, even on a maiden voyage. This speaks volumes about <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a>’s craftsmanship,” added Richard. With equipment far above market standards in both size and quality, plus integrated system redundancies, owners can rely on safe and comfortable cruising with transatlantic range.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347979/image/large-092f1565c46ebb596cb7bb351095ccae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347979">YN205 is also designed for dual use on either side of the Atlantic, with a converter for the shore power input for both US and European standards and US and European power outlets throughout the entire yacht. Added bollards and fairleads for side mooring further cater to the US market, where side mooring is more common than in the Mediterranean.Dutch craftsmanship“While many manufacturers charge extra for commercial compliance and worldwide power, this is one example of many that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> includes as standard, setting the Martinique apart as a comprehensive package,” said Matthew. “Very few yachts in this size segment offer such an impressive range and commercial cruising registry. It’s far easier to remove a yacht from commercial compliance than to reinstate it, giving this yacht a significant advantage,” he added.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347980/image/large-985238f681dd7baa734c2fb08fa57dcf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347980">Another highlight is the two-year global shipyard warranty, double the industry standard for this size range. “This shows the confidence <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> has in the quality of their yachts,” said Richard. “Yachts need to be used and tested, as many issues don’t surface in the first year,” explained Nicky, adding: “With only two yachts built annually, our craftsmen know each vessel inside and out. We can fly anywhere in the world to handle minor adjustments quickly and effectively.”“Buying a yacht is an emotional decision – you’re investing in a dream and a lifestyle,” said Matthew. "<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> ensures the yacht is always ready when it matters. There’s nothing else like the package provided with YN205,” he concluded.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/347978/image/large-d6705b377c77d6da4d0fd91900349c9b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/347978">Meet <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen</a> in Palm BeachVisitors to the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/267" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Palm Beach International Boat Show - 2025">Palm Beach International Boat Show</a> can explore the craftsmanship of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/130" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Moonen Yachts (Company)">Moonen Yachts</a> firsthand by visiting the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/244" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYC (Company)">IYC</a> stand.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8124" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Giamboi Designs (Company)">Giamboi Designs</a> has unveiled the renderings and details of a new 23.9-metre catamaran yacht concept called Axiom 24. “Designed from the keel up with an entirely new spatial philosophy, Axiom 24 represents the next generation of semi-custom catamaran living, bringing together expansive space, elegant design, and advanced propulsion in a compact yet sophisticated vessel,” the studio explained.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353029/image/large-2a479cc0c963debbb05d40c8c916eb1c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353029">With spatial luxury at the forefront of her design, Axiom 24 is primarily characterised by a sense of continuity across her decks. At the forefront of the catamaran is her raised forward terrace and lowered forward deck configuration, which are intended to make a departure from traditional monohull layouts by reimagining volume optimisation. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353032/image/large-45f4af383ee7090f935e3da82e341180.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353032">Axiom 24’s raised forward terrace comprises a central, open-air living space joining both the vessel’s forward and aft sections, while also offering a 360-degree view of the surrounding scenery. Meanwhile, her lowered forward deck is developed for additional volume with flexible uses, without compromising on the bridge deck’s 1.4-metre clearance.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353031/image/large-a5f16a8d238e97c8175d6ff0ab6e24fa.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353031">According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8124" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Giamboi Designs (Company)">Giamboi Designs</a>, “the raised forward terrace is more than a design feature; it is the heart of Axiom 24’s circulation and social areas. This space seamlessly links the yacht’s exterior and interior areas.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353027/image/large-77404c76134582e715725479b26e0242.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353027">Serving as a connective point between the indoors and outdoors, the space also functions as a lounge setting for sunbathing, alfresco dining or enjoying cocktails. The multipurpose location creates a fusion between the catamaran’s indoor main saloon, forward deck and flybridge, for enhanced guest movement.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353025/image/large-94f3d2ec1c8fc94f7c826056a6743a08.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353025"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353030/image/large-11c46a49d4f6a4aa1cb87d0dd080a444.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353030"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353026/image/large-090b0d1fe407766119c7c8af683704fe.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353026">Moving to the lowered forward deck, this area can be customised to house a full-beam owner’s suite with panoramic sightlines, a private study, and a spa-inspired ensuite bathroom. Alternatively, the deck can be home to dual VIP suites, or an extended forward saloon dedicated to guest entertainment.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353035/image/large-bb974cc1ce9cf41ee8cdecfdb51a41bb.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353035">In addition, the owner’s suite variant boasts an expansive window forward or an optional forward balcony for unobstructed vantage points, with sliding doors closing off the stateroom.
