Studio beiderbeck’s role:

• Overall concept

• Exterior design

In Taiwan, the yacht designers from Bremen are using the technical platform of a 33-metre long Horizon motoryacht for their latest commission for an experienced German owner. They are combining maximum comfort and all-round visibility at all levels in a particularly elegant way with a whole range of cleverly thought-out features. The customised 108-foot long double decker with its half-raised pilothouse will be equipped with 2x 2,600 HP MTU-engines.

Lifestyle at sea is being interpreted through an innovative space concept. After all, the pilot still wants to feel like they are at sea, even when they are behind the wheel of their dream yacht. The pilothouse is located only half a metre above the fully glazed dining room, so it still has a homely feel to it. Only three steps then lead to the owner’s personal suite, which is located in the bow and extends over the whole 7-metre width of the yacht – a wonderful, ringside seat offering panoramic views of the sea.

Through another gentle graduation of the owner’s high-class bathroom towards the bow, the foredeck as a whole is sleek and gently sloping, leaving the skipper with a completely open view in the direction of travel. Leading off the bridge is a flight of stairs on the outer part of the flybridge, which is half-covered with a hardtop. A comfortable sitting area and padded sun loungers further aft will have family and friends feeling like they are in seventh heaven.

The sense of wellbeing is also the focus on the main deck. The generous saloon is also integrated into the concept of levels combining with one another, situated behind the slightly higher-lying dining area. Whether it is a romantic tête-à-tête or candlelit dinner for more than two: thanks to the parapet, which is just 60 centimetres tall, you have a comfortable view over the aft deck. A perfect match between privacy and the feeling of being incomparably close to the environment, whether that is in a bustling Mediterranean port or a tranquil bay.

Both double staterooms are extraordinarily roomy designed for four guests in luxury. Another highlight is the spacious tender garage at the aft. This can also be used as a beach club with en suite fully fitted bathroom. The dinghy, which is quite high at 1.6 metres and is 5.2 metres in length, can be boarded and released into the water at the touch of a button via the lowerable bathing platform. It sits next to a hydraulic swimming ladder allowing guests to swim and to snorkel.
