Award-winning designer Jozeph Forakis has been at the helm of the design for the CLB80, tasked with the challenge of retaining the brand's distinctive DNA while introducing a more streamlined and sporty aesthetic. The result is a yacht that boasts a fresh, contemporary look without sacrificing the comfort and luxury CL Yachts is known for.
The exterior of the CLB80 is defined by its avant-garde design elements, such as the evolution of the unique stepped side windows and the 'boomerang' fashion plates. These aspects not only enhance the yacht's sleek appearance but also improve functionality by increasing visibility and allowing natural light to illuminate the interior spaces.
Potential buyers of the CLB80 will be pleased to discover that multiple layout options are available. Whether a forward or aft galley is chosen, the yacht ensures a luxurious and seamless dining experience, with the main deck featuring electrically operated up-down windows that connect the indoors with the outdoors.
Moving inside, the interior design exudes minimalistic elegance, featuring modular pods that define the space with sophistication. Fluted oak panels add texture, while high-quality marble accents provide that luxurious touch. This clever use of materials and design elements throughout the yacht results in a visually impactful yet comfortable and inviting ambiance.
The main salon of the CLB80 is also noteworthy for its open staircase with floating steps, an architectural feature that invites more sunlight into the space. Moving towards the foredeck, guests can enjoy a sunbed that transforms into a cocktail lounge, offering stunning views of the surrounding seascape.
Below deck, the CLB80 does not disappoint with its well-appointed cabin arrangement. The yacht includes four ensuite staterooms, with the full-beam master stateroom offering panoramic hull windows, and the VIP stateroom featuring an overhead skylight for a spacious feel. Two additional guest cabins provide comfortable accommodations, while separate crew quarters ensure privacy for everyone onboard.
Back to the exterior, the beach club is a standout feature of the CLB80, offering an adaptable space that opens up to the sea for an immersive indoor-outdoor experience. When not used by guests, it functions as a crew galley/lounge, showcasing the yacht's versatile design.
On the sky deck, functionality meets luxury with a barbecue area, outdoor bar, and the option for a second helm station. The space is equipped to handle water toys and tenders, enhancing the recreational capabilities of the yacht.
CL Yachts is set to start production of the CLB80 in the second quarter of 2024, and interested parties will soon be able to look for listings. If a flybridge that promises multi-functional spaces and inviting interiors "floats your boat", then the CLB80 might just be the diamond in the rough you've been looking for, or should that be the pearl in the clam?
