The yacht will be equipped with all the amenities and features that a 50+ metre yacht usually has. The yacht can accommodate 12 people in six suites. It will feature spacious lounges and open covered deck spaces for entertaining. All these areas are designed to be accessible from a central staircase.
The styling of the yacht will reflect a departure from the more recent yachts Kingship has created. The yacht is distinct for a plumb bow and generous circular port lights on the forward main deck. This design is intended to create the feeling of a modern yacht.
London-based yacht designer Donald Starkey and Dutch naval architects Azure have been commissioned to design the new yacht. The yacht will be built under the 500 tonne rules, making crewing of the yacht more manageable.
Azure Naval Architects has tried to design the hull and superstructure lines in such a way that it will result in maximum interior space within the 500GT restriction. The design process has complied with the latest Class Society requirements.
