“…Awareness is the key factor of the AWARE concept. An open eye for what matters most: an abundance of space, an exceptional inside-outside connection to the sea, spacious and comfortable lounges, and vast exterior decks…”

Please enjoy aware: the essence of luxury.

We are proud to present AWARE, a yacht concept where space optimization is leading and with an open eye for space, inside-outside connection to the sea, comfortable lounges and vast exterior decks. AWARE is the Essence of Luxury, a logical step in yacht design where all the available space is used to give owners and guests the best possible experience. The result is a yacht concept of simple grandeur, revealing its nature with outspoken honesty: a focus on the spacious experience aboard and connection with the sea.

Space optimization comes first: a huge beach aft of 230m2 with an 11-meter-long pool. A Beach Club with an internal height of 3 meters plus a full beam 80m2 OSR with a private lounge and balcony featuring its own jacuzzi. At bridge deck a vast 460m2 exterior, while the lounges, dining, and wheelhouse in the bridge deck pavilion cover 200m2. The number of decks has been slimmed down to a lower deck, a main deck, and a bridge deck with flexibility of use ensured by the effcient open plan layout.

SANDER J. SINOT

Abundance of space.

“For AWARE the focus is on space optimization and functionality, maximizing the space on board. Superfluous corridors are omitted, ceiling heights are optimized (3 meters at the beach club and 2,5 meters at the pavilion), the open plan layouts offer inherent flexibility and ample space. Throughout AWARE’s interior, elegance and luxury are combined with authentic quality and unique materials. The minimalistic, pure design language is developed to be in mindful harmony for owners, guests and the natural environment.

Careful use of proportions in both the exterior and interior of AWARE has resulted in a pure space experience. Light is used as a tool to set interior moods using shutters, adjustable blinds and grids to allow different levels of daylight admittance. AWARE combines a superior quality of build with a sophisticated use of natural materials resulting in an essential design atmosphere that creates a holistic awareness of the yacht for a true connoisseur owner.”

ARCHITECTURAL GEOMETRY

Triple deck yacht design.

With a LOA of 79,9 meters and a height of just 8 meters above the waterline, the low profile of AWARE is elongated and elegant. All lounges, interior spaces and exterior decks are proportioned to provide ultimate functionality and an optimal inside-out experience. The nautical platform consists of three decks, with an open plan pavilion on the bridge deck offering unrestricted views of the ocean at all sides.

Connection with the water on all decks is all-encompassing thanks to the unobstructed exterior decks, the floor-to-ceiling windows, extensive glass facades and two huge fold-down hatches at the Beach Club. Located at the aft of the main deck aft, the Beach Club delivers 230m2 of partially shaded space and incorporates an 11 meters long pool. Sunbeds and loungers are positioned to allow for plenty of walk-around space for having fun by the pool. The aft deck offers access to the sea for water sports and toys or for serving as a mooring spot for one of the tenders onboard AWARE.

Sea level indulgence

AWARE’s Beach Club is a multi-purpose space to work out, enjoy yoga or beauty treatments or to just come together for al-fresco dining on the lowered hatch or for drinks at the bar. Two floor-to-ceiling hatches on the starboard and port side fold down to enlarge the space to a level-floored 121m2. The interior ceiling height of 3 meters guarantees awareness of the sea when the hatches are open, merging ocean views with the interior space experience.

The Beach Club is accessible in several ways; directly from the exterior main deck aft, under the overhang by passing through the floor-to-ceiling doors, and by the central staircase lobby. Once at the Beach Club, an interior cinema setting can be enjoyed, while flexible space dividers are used to provide private settings for well-being activities of any kind. Comfortable lounge seating caters for any type of relaxation and social gathering for smaller or larger groups.

Owner’s state room

Dreamtime delights.

Located forward at the main deck of AWARE, the beam-wide owner’s state room offers 80m2 of living, sleeping, bathroom and dressing space. Expansive full-length windows create an impression of vast openness and freedom. The open plan arrangement combines a bedroom with a lounge and adjacent balcony where glass sliding doors and a glass bulwark provide a seamless transition from inside to outside. The built-in open-air jacuzzi tub situated in a corner of the balcony is the epitome of style.

A combined bathroom and dressing space for the owner’s state room optimizes the efficiency of space usage. Hand-crafted sliding doors with inserts of clear glass and bleached wenge offer privacy and division. The bathtub is crafted out of a single block of natural onyx stone, hand-worked for a softened effect to match the backdrop of the natural limestone surface. All the features in the owner’s state room consist of custom-designed pieces, hand-crafted from durable and natural materials.

Guest state room

Mindful hospitality.

Four grand guest state rooms are located around AWARE’s central staircase lobby. All the rooms have full-length windows delivering an infinite connection with the surrounding seascape. Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom also featuring full-length windows furnished with adjustable blinds, a floating onyx vanity and separate shower and toilet cabins with onyx walls, floors, and ceiling panels.

Inside the guest spaces, every detail of the design has been examined, with painstaking attention devoted to form, material selection, finishes and functionality. The selection of natural stones and hand-picked timbers allows for further personalization of AWARE’s interior, ensuring the design is aesthetically balanced with inherent appeal. The result is an atmosphere of pleasing intimacy and mindful hospitality.

Central staircase

Connect the decks.

One of the highlights of AWARE is the central circular staircase connecting the lower deck, main deck, and bridge deck onboard. With its sculptural design and position in a glass-covered vide, the stairs seem to float freely in space, creating an impression of monumental weightlessness. The wooden ring that almost invisibly connects the stairs to the upper deck pavilion, is reflected in the large oculus skylight in the ceiling of the bridge deck pavilion.

The elegance of the staircase is portrayed by stringers in the textured wood, where interlocking spirals provide the required structural stability for the leather-clad steps. Full-glass balustrades with polished edges are located both at the steps and at the landings, strengthening the upward-directed motion of the staircase by their sweeping curving lines. The staircase’s overall configuration is a statement of the pure design language onboard AWARE.

Bridge deck pavillion

Free-flowing spaciousness.

On the bridge deck a vast 460m2 exterior deck surrounds the pavilion to fully enjoy views of the sea. Inside, a lounge, dining, library, and semi-open wheelhouse are integrated in one free-flowing space of almost 200m2. When ascending the grand circular staircase, the oculus in the central lobby lights the route towards the aft lounge, where a seating arrangement of comfortable sofas is situated. The open connection to the aft and side deck exteriors makes dining and lounging a true al-fresco experience.

Design philosophy.

Balanced Design, Engineering and client criteria bring MPYD boats to life.

By listening to our client's unique tastes, requirements and ideas, we develop unique designs and solutions for each customer.

This text has to be carefully crafted it will need to fit in a small amount of space to hold this unique design more words more words our last words.

MPYD Design Philosophy

The Essence

The design process.

Finely-Tuned Methodology. Thoughtful Team Approach. Concept to Launch.

Preliminary Design

The project begins with an inspired, imaginative meeting with the client and culminates with both scale architectural drawings and artistic renderings. Phase 1 answers the questions: Is this what you wanted? Do you want to move forward? This phase constitutes approximately 10% of the total design project.

yacht design company

The Bid Package

The Bid Package is a feasibility study of the project. Centered around a business approach, it encompasses technical, financial, and schedule constraints. This process begins with client approval of preliminary design and culminates with a bid package prepared for one or more builders to accurately assess the cost of the build. Phase 2 answers the questions: Can it be done? How much will it cost? Do you want to move forward? The Preliminary Design and Bid Package will comprise approximately 20% of the total design project.

yacht design company

Engineering and Construction Drawings

Phase 3 is a highly creative and technical design of every part of the vessel. This phase begins with approval of the bid package and culminates with complex, computer-driven, 2-D drawings and 3-D models; a complete instruction manual for the Shipyard. This Phase answers the builder's question: How do we build this yacht? Engineering and construction drawings will constitute approximately 70% of the total design project.

yacht design company

Production to Delivery

The final phase begins with the builder's acceptance of engineering drawings and culminates with final build-out, sea trials and delivery. During this phase, MPYD continues to consult with Shipyard as the client’s representative. This phase will answer the client’s questions: How are things coming along? Will the delivery schedule be met? Phase 4 constitutes approximately 10% of the total design project.

yacht design company

Our Mission

While MPYD raceboats have made history and have established a worldwide reputation for Michael Peters Yacht Design, the company’s philosophy—to improve the performance and efficiency of every boat—permeates every project in the portfolio. Every custom yacht and series production boat has been designed to outperform its predecessor and to push the limits of engineering, style and function. Regardless of the boat’s purpose, each carries the same high quality standards that define Michael Peters Yacht Design.

Lazzarini Design Studio Dreams Up ‘Flying Superyacht’

Three sheets to the wind...

Lazzarini Design Studio Dreams Up ‘Flying Superyacht’

F*ck sailing: superyachts could soon ‘fly’ across the ocean, if one Italian design company gets the funding it’s after…

If you thought superyachts weren’t wild enough, what with their helipads, spas, ironed bed sheets and million-dollar toys, then prepare yourself for a shock: one Italian design company wants to create a ‘flying’ superyacht.

Now, before you go all Isaac Newton on us, or throw your complete works of Albert Einstein at our heads, we don’t mean flying like a 747. It’s more like flying on an e-foil (think: a zinced-up Mark Zuckerberg in Hawaii, except on acid and a trillion tonnes heavier).

yacht design company

The concept is called Plectrum. It’s described by the design company, Lazzarini Design Studio, as a 74 metre (242 foot) long “foil superyacht” made up of dry carbon fibre composite materials. According to the company’s website, the foil superyacht will have a pool, the capacity to store an Aston Martin, a fancy tender, a bunch of outdoor sofas/lounge chairs and hectic foiling capabilities. It will also have a top speed of 75 knots.

yacht design company

The designers say that after 15 knots the yacht can lift above the water’s surface. They also said Plectrum was “a different super yacht configuration which will allow much faster sea travelling than conventional smaller size ships” and “the foil can be adjustable depending on the cruising needs and can change in the width from 15 metres of beam up to 20 metres of beam.”

yacht design company

They also say the design was inspired by the foiling hulls from the America’s Cup (Prada’s 2023 model). The foil superyacht (concept) is that it will run off three hydrogen powered motors with 15,000 horsepower between them and – according to CNN Travel – “the designers say it could be constructed within two years at a cost of around $87 million ($121 AUD million) if a buyer is found.”

yacht design company

Before you get all incredulous, the company’s website also points to 1964, when the ship building industry “was already capable of similar vessel’s construction.” Watch the video below to learn more.

Coral Ocean superyacht interiors, designed  by Sabrina Monte-Carlo

What drives and inspires superyacht interior specialists and what trends are coming?

Three superyacht interiors specialists tell Belle Rice where they find their creativity, and the trends they're predicting...

Interior design trends can come and go faster than a Williams Turbojet, and what can seem innovative and chic one moment can quickly become de rigueur. Luckily for the superyacht industry, the very best in marine architects and interiors specialists lead the pack in cleverly incorporating design trends in ways that ensure rooms stay stylish and timeless for years, not for just the next fleeting summer on the Med.

So, what drives and inspires the designers who create the chicest, most innovative spaces? It’s all about the clients, says Cana Gökhan, co-founder at Red Yacht Design . “Understanding [their] personalities, tastes, lifestyles and cultural backgrounds is crucial. Our main inspiration comes from nature and the sea, and we always use colours and textures, in particular, to create a harmonious atmosphere on board.”

For Vripack ’s Marnix Hoekstra in the Netherlands, inspiration is found as far from his desk as possible, exploring cities to discover new art. “I really like to step out of the little bubble which is our superyacht and interiors world, and what I’ve found is the best way to do that is to hit the streets. We call it the ‘trend walk’,” he says, “and what we do is go out and discover – London and Amsterdam have great areas where upcoming artists are creating their ideas and art. Typically they don’t have a lot of money to make expensive stuff, but they do have passion and a clear mind and vision as to why they’re making something.” 

This gives him and the Vripack team a means to anticipate future trends, he explains. “It allows you to look at the zeitgeist, and then you find that in a couple of years that will extrapolate to the real world and all of a sudden, you see other companies picking [those trends] up in the mainstream.”

Coming from different walks of life and dotted about the globe, designers who specialise in the smartest of interiors all have at least one thing in common: a motivation to create fascinating design. “It’s all about making interiors interesting again, and fighting against bland, predictable looks,” says Manola Ballerio of Sabrina Monte-Carlo , noting with excitement that “rich, saturated, dopamine-inducing colours are back.”

Ultimately, though, you can always go back to basics to make sure you get it right. “It is challenging to consider practicality, function and aesthetics simultaneously in design,” says Gökhan, “and even in the age of all this ostentation, I am always looking for ways to simplify interior design. The concept of simplicity is my most significant source of inspiration.”

Trend alert

Auxiliary rooms.

“While the walk-in wardrobe was the dream room in every residence, we’re seeing a trend of new ‘auxiliary’ rooms, such as a china pantry next to the dining room or kitchen to showcase collectable tableware. Post-Covid-19, games rooms are also making a comeback, and we love a good entertainment room with a bar, pool table or foosball with landscaped wallpapers or great lights.” – Manola Ballerio, Sabrina Monte-Carlo

Sustainability

“A lot of new materials, art and finishes are emerging from the world of sustainability, durability, upcycling and recycling. We use recycled textiles for wallpapers, and on Project Zero we used a leather-like material invented in Germany that is made from beeswax and pine, which has the advantage (over faux leathers that are made from fruit) of smelling like a fresh forest.” – Marnix Hoekstra, Vripack

Deck layouts

“Recently, the front deck has come to the fore; we often see closed or semi-closed uses in this area, but it’s not been very popular until now.
