Experience & Lifestyle
The strongest aspect of this project is not the engineering, transformable furniture, or innovative circulation. Those are simply the means. The real story is the experience they create, both for guests and for crew: a sense of ease, freedom, generosity, a feeling that life unfolds naturally on board. Guests drift effortlessly between intimate moments and social gatherings, between sun, sea, privacy, and celebration, in an environment that feels both expansive and carefree.
Reclaiming Space & Flow
Despite its 38-metre length, the original gulet felt compartmentalised and smaller than it should. The redesign reclaims valuable deck space by moving the railings to the vessel’s perimeter and opening them to create a new staircase connection between decks. Combined with a floating stair above the wheelhouse, the intervention transforms circulation, allowing seamless circulation through the yacht while creating a feeling of openness and flow more commonly associated with a much larger vessel.
Luxury at sea is not measured by square metres, but by how intelligently and innovatively those metres perform.
Effortless Transformation
Designed in collaboration with local Turkish master artisans, a series of innovative custom transformable furnishings allows the yacht to adapt effortlessly throughout the day. Discreet coffee tables unfold into a dining table for fourteen, while concealed elements around the Jacuzzi reveal in seconds an expansive buffet and entertaining area. Behind the scenes, spaces transform in a few simple gestures, allowing crew and guests alike to move from intimate retreat to lively celebration with grace.
Cinema Under Sail
By day, the Jacuzzi terrace serves as a sun deck overlooking the sea. By night, a three-metre cinema screen unfolds from the mast, transforming the deck into an open-air theatre where guests enjoy films beneath the stars through individual wireless headsets.
The yacht feels twice its size. Whether we are ten people cruising quietly or hosting fifty guests, it never feels crowded, always idyllic. My crew can adapt every space to each occasion with ease and speed.
