Vitruvius Yachts, a UK-based design studio, has unveiled its latest superyacht concept, the Vitruvius Palm Beach.
This impressive 46m (151ft) project has been specifically tailored to cater to the tastes of the North American market, and currently, several renowned shipyards are vying for the opportunity to bring the concept to fruition, with plans to commence construction in the next year.
Designed with a shallow draft of just 2m (7ft), the Vitruvius Palm Beach is ideally suited for cruising in shoal draft destinations such as the Bahamas and Florida.
While the interior designer has yet to be confirmed, initial renderings showcase a contemporary, minimalist aesthetic. The main saloon boasts full-height windows and a versatile layout, cleverly transitioning between lounging and dining areas for up to ten guests, complemented by a dedicated lounge area to starboard.
The yacht offers luxurious accommodation across five lower deck cabins, along with dedicated quarters for a nine-person crew. The owner's cabin, spanning the full beam, features an office, dressing area, twin bathrooms, and a fold-down balcony for unforgettable sea views.
On the main deck, guests can enjoy a formal bar and a convertible seating area aft, while the expansive sundeck offers ample space for relaxation, complete with a large sunbathing area, bar, barbecue, and Jacuzzi. The beach club is a standout feature, boasting a versatile pool that can operate with either freshwater or saltwater. Bulwarks on either side open up to create additional lounging space, featuring multiple sun pads for ultimate comfort.
The concept also includes a well-equipped tender garage that can accommodate a 6m (20ft) tender and two jet skis, facilitated by a Solas-compliant sliding beam crane and fold-up shell door for seamless launching and loading operations.
Propelled by twin CAT 32 engines, the superyacht will be able to achieve a maximum speed of 15.7 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots.
