Positioned between an explorer and a sporty yacht, Mereley I's design prioritises rugged durability while also maintaining a sleek aesthetic.
According to Enrico Lumini, co-founder and design director of Hot Lab, the yacht draws inspiration from traditional expedition vessels while incorporating a more dynamic, contemporary feel. The striking blue hull with red waterline accents nods to motorsport influences, reinforcing a sense of speed and adventure.
A Masculine Interior
Stepping inside the yacht for sale, Mereley I’s interior embraces bold contrasts and a distinctly masculine palette. Hot Lab has curated a sophisticated atmosphere using a mix of dark, warm greys, black, and natural sand and linen tones. This refined yet powerful aesthetic is reminiscent of an upscale metropolitan apartment.

We wanted the interiors to feature many reflections - partly to trick the eye and partly to bring the bluish hues of the sea into the space."

True to her explorer nature, Mereley I prioritizes open-air living with large deck areas designed for relaxation and entertainment. Her spacious skylounge features floor-to-ceiling windows that offer panoramic views and direct access to an alfresco dining area via sliding glass doors. The main deck saloon provides another inviting space with a plush L-shaped sofa and dining table accommodating up to 10 guests.



Mereley I offers accommodations for up to 12 guests across five staterooms. The full-beam owner’s suite is located at the bow of the main deck, offering a king-size bed, private office, walk-in wardrobe, and a luxurious ensuite with dual sinks and marble detailing. Large windows flood the space with natural light, enhancing the rich textures of wood and stone.



On the lower deck, two VIP cabins and two twin ensuite cabins provide additional guest accommodations, each designed with meticulous attention to comfort and style. Crew quarters are designed to house up to seven members
Versatile and Adventure-Ready Outdoor Spaces
The expansive sundeck of Mereley I featyres a luxurious jacuzzi, plush sun loungers, and an elegant alfresco dining area, all designed to maximize comfort and ocean views.

The “pocket explorer" yacht's stern beach club is one of her most striking features. Topped with skylights, the space includes a multi-functional swim platform capable of housing a generous tender.

Built with a semi-displacement steel hull and a robust aluminium superstructure, the motor yacht for sale is engineered for long-range cruising. She boasts a transatlantic range of 3,800 nautical miles at 11.5 knots, offering excellent efficiency for extended voyages.

Her rectangular windows, a signature element of explorer yachts, provide unobstructed ocean views while maintaining structural integrity. The open bulwarks strengthen the yacht’s connection with the sea, making her a true explorer in every sense.
