Sleek 52

Shortlisted: Concept Over 40 Metres Award

The International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2026

Conceived in collaboration with the esteemed shipyard Tureddi Yachts , this project presents a yacht of approximately 50 metres, under 499 GT, defined by distinctive geometries and a refined, timeless elegance.

The design objective was to create a vessel that seamlessly combines sleek sophistication, functionality, and a strong, recognisable stylistic identity. Every proportion and line has been meticulously studied to ensure aesthetic coherence and visual harmony, allowing the yacht to stand out within contemporary yacht design without introducing forms that would appear excessive or out of context.

A defining feature of the project lies in the dialogue between materials. The contrast between metal — emblematic of traditional shipyard construction — and wood — a timeless symbol of warmth and elegance — establishes a refined and sophisticated balance. These materials merge harmoniously within sinuous, streamlined lines, reinforcing the yacht’s sleek character.

The window apertures have been conceived with sharp, decisive geometries, intentionally free from softened curves. This uncompromising approach contributes to a bold yet elegant aesthetic, demonstrating that clarity and precision of line are intrinsic to true sophistication.

Particular attention has been given to achieving a correct balance between exterior forms and interior volumes. The yacht’s distinctive elements integrate exclusive detailing, premium materials, and unique stylistic choices, all contributing to a cohesive and recognisable visual language shared consistently between exterior and interior spaces.

Internally, the design prioritises generous volumes and carefully planned layouts to ensure functional and comfortable cabins and communal areas, including salons and a beach area. Circulation has been designed to be fluid and intuitive, with visibility and spatial harmony carefully considered. Noble woods, refined metals, stone, and finely crafted surfaces have been selected to elevate the onboard environment.

The overall onboard experience has been conceived to be both delightful and practical, promoting guest wellbeing and effortless enjoyment of each space. Exterior areas are varied and multifunctional, incorporating solariums, panoramic decks, outdoor dining spaces, and relaxation zones, all aesthetically integrated within the yacht’s overarching design language.

Every element of the project has been developed to maintain a precise equilibrium between sleek elegance, comfort, and practicality, ensuring the yacht retains an iconic and recognisable presence over time.
