Motor

Yacht A

What is it: One of the most famous yachts in the world – 390 f00t Motor Yacht A,

designed by Philippe Starck with technical and naval design by Martin Francis, and

launched by Blohm+Voss in 2008.

Why we love it: Look at her. There is simply nothing as original on the water. Except

perhaps the yacht that has followed her, Sailing Yacht A, which also comes from the

fascinating mind of Starck.

Design genius: Her exterior may be the showpiece but her interior doesn’t disappoint,

from a loft-like owner’s suite that also includes an aft facing balcony to her multiple

swimming pools, one of which has a glass floor.

Perfect for: Those who don’t mind camera flashes – this slice of superyacht history will

be recognized in every port. Read our exclusive interview with Philippe Starck in the

next issue of Boat International US Edition.
