TUHURA
WHAT IS IT?
An elegant superyacht design inspired by an ancient Polynesian canoe, this
115m is the latest brainwave from the team that brought usJubilee– namely
Igor Lobanov and Oceanco. Achille Salvagni conceived the interiors.
WHY WE LOVE IT
Lobanov is renowned for his out-there exteriors and he certainly hasn’t held
back here, with a dramatically curved bow and transom, as well as trick
windows consisting of tiny dots that allow views out, but stop prying eyes from
seeing in. Salvagni’s achingly cool interior adds another layer of intrigue – who
else would have thought to fit teak stalagmites in the upper saloon?FALCONWHAT IS IT?
A sharply styled 90m concept from Dutch studio Vripack, aptly named after the
razor-taloned, keen-eyed bird of prey.
WHY WE LOVE IT
The open-plan interiors, designed to imbue a feeling of warmth, inclu
a private family deck for the owner and a 20-seat cinema, as well as a s
spiral staircase that runs all the way to the sundeck. This comfortable
atmosphere influenced the radically retro exterior, which Vripack des
as “neo-classical”. The warm white hull is topped with a superstructu
in swathes of unvarnished wood and set with green glass.OTAM 85GTS
WHAT IS IT?
A supercar-inspired take on the 26m Otam
fast planing yacht collection, by design duo
Alessio Riccobaldi and Niccolò Pasquini,
aka R+P Architecture.
WHY WE LOVE IT
Gullwing windows over the helm are
guaranteed to turn heads wherever you
cruise. When closed they allow for
spectacular views at speeds of up to 45
ut when the anchor’s down and the
s are open, a seamless indoor-
layout, with sunpads and sofas
really comes into its own.O UTRÉ ARCHITECTURE
