Crossbow
Concept “Crossbow” is a unique take on a 100-metre superyacht, based on an aluminium hull and superstructure, the sleek design has a beam of just 12.5 metres — more than a metre less than average for this size bracket. What’s more, the draught has been kept to just 3.5 metres to ensure Crossbow can reach cruising grounds that would normally be off-limits for such large yachts.
Designed around the idea of high performances and efficiency, this all-aluminium vessel is fast and ligh with a sleek sporty aesthetic. We have designed the yacht to give the impression of large, continuous glass to achieve a curved windscreen. This in turn creates perhaps the most unconventional aspect of this design: with the location of the superyacht wheelhouse being moved to the uppermost deck, leaving room for a
double-height forward-facing atrium on the main deck.
The arrow-like design is also reflected in the estimated performance figures top speed of 25 knots when a pair of MTU 16V 4000 M93L engines are fitted. Accommodation is for up to 16 guests split between eight double cabins, while the lower-deck crew quarters allow for staff of up to 32 people.

WAVE
Concept ‘Wave’ is named after the flowing sheer line and cascading teak effect found on the aft of the yacht’s superstructures.
She has been designed around the idea of balanced interior and exterior spaces, both expandable with folding and retractable balconies. The beach club is a total of 133m2 when the side hatch balcony is open and there is an additional 40m2 of swimming platform where the uninterrupted cascading teak from above masks the door opening.The beach club can be directly accessed through a passage which passes through the engine room to the four lower-deck guest cabins and the elevator that connects all decks.
There are two further guest cabins located forward on the main deck, with spectacular rectangular windows perfectly located to frame the environment.
The owner’s suite is located on the upper deck with a forward-facing cabin and a private full-beam 70m2 lounge, with retractable balconies increasing the footprint by a further 16m2.
