Gill Schmid Design, an internationally acclaimed design practice based in New York, founded by Alistair Gill and Veronika Schmid, has unveiled renderings of its revolutionary 83m (272ft) superyacht concept, BLOOM.
Described as a "one of a kind" vessel, BLOOM not only explores the forefront of technical advancements but also embraces a more eco-conscious approach.
The design utilizes Lateral Naval Architects' innovative 'Free From Bulkheads' (FFB) platform, delivering a layout that is no longer constrained by bulkheads. Instead, the superyacht’s design prioritizes an open-plan configuration, moving away from conventional compartmentalized spaces.
Following more and more inquiries by clients looking for not only environmentally friendly and forward-looking platforms, as well as more contemporary spatial approaches, we found the answer in the new FFB platform.”

To resemble the openness of oceanfront villas, BLOOM offers a penthouse-style entertainment space complete with direct access to pools and the ocean for an expansive, horizon-filled onboard experience.
Amenities include a vast open-plan gym and spa lounge with direct water access, a juice and sushi bar, a sauna, showers, and massage pods.
The vessel accommodates guests in seven staterooms across its 13.8m (45.2ft) beam, including an owner’s suite with twin dressing rooms, ensuite bathrooms, and a private exterior deck featuring a Jacuzzi, outdoor cinema, loungers, and a firepit.
A further six guest staterooms can be found onboard, including four at water level, accompanied by a double-height aquarium at the entrance to the guest spaces. A total of 30 crew members can also be accommodated.
In terms of exterior deck space, the superyacht offers a variety of alfresco dining areas, a touch-and-go helipad, a fully openable beach club lounge with skylights, and a swim platform with a reflecting pool.
Constructed with a steel hull and superstructure, BLOOM features an e-hybrid propulsion system with a DC Grid. The yacht is equipped with a 10m (33ft) limousine tender, an 11m (36ft) rib, and three Jet Skis.
Bloom is truly a platform that encapsulates a contemporary approach to spatial design and a more contemporary lifestyle.”
