Design & Construction

Designed around a displacement steel hull and an aluminium superstructure she features a 8.8m beam and a 2.8m draft. The yacht is built over 3 decks with an internal volume of 498 GT (Gross Tonnes).

This was the second yacht built on the Virtus 47M design. Launched in June 2022 this yacht undertook sea trials over the following months. She was delivered to her owners in July 2022.

Exterior Design

The main deck aft is open and minimalist, featuring lounging areas, a dining table that can be adjusted to different heights, and sliding glass doors that lead to the main salon. The deck includes teak work that slopes towards scuppers to prevent water from pooling, and the scuppers are branded with the Mengi logo. Additionally, the deck has a pass-through door for easy access when docked next to another vessel.

The beach club area is a highlight, equipped with a hydraulic sidewall that folds down to create additional outdoor space. This design allows for easy access to the water and a variety of water toys, including two sea bobs, an E-foil, bikes, and two speed boats. The space also features a carbon fiber outdoor shower, which can be detached and stored when not in use, and sockets on the floor for attaching carbon fiber poles to create shade.

The bow of the yacht is designed for flexibility, often used by the owner for foot tennis. The area includes carbon fiber poles for outdoor speakers and lighting, and a garage for the emergency tender. The bow design is a mix between conventional and plumb, giving the yacht a sporty look.

The bridge deck aft features an outdoor dining area with seating for 13, additional lounging areas, and a section that can extend an additional 80 centimeters at the push of a button. This design maximizes outdoor space without exceeding weight limits.

The entire exterior of B.A.L.M.Y is finished in a classic white, lending a clean and timeless appearance. Below the waterline, the hull is painted black, a practical choice to reduce marine growth and maintain performance.

Interior Design

Throughout B.A.L.M.Y, the choice of materials emphasizes simplicity and durability. Marble is extensively used in bathrooms and vanities, contributing to a sleek look. The walls are often padded, and track lighting is employed to enhance the contemporary feel. Chrome fixtures and recessed lighting are consistent features, providing both functionality and subtle elegance.

The galley includes a dumbwaiter system that connects to multiple decks, facilitating easy service and transport of food and beverages. The layout is practical, with ample storage and workspace to meet the needs of both crew and guests.

The wheelhouse has a modern, almost futuristic design with four large Simrad navigation screens and a Böning alarm system. The wheelhouse is equipped with Caterpillar engine controls and an array of navigational tools, ensuring smooth operation. The space is designed to keep the captain in control while providing a clear view of all essential data.

The main salon is spacious and open, featuring two sectional couches and built-in coffee tables. Ottomans and pillows add a touch of color. The room is equipped with four large picture windows and motorized sliding glass doors that open to the outdoors, allowing natural light to flood the space. Chrome details, recessed lights, and outdoor speakers contribute to the room's functionality and comfort. A dining table in the center can be adjusted to serve as either a coffee table or a formal dining area.

The bridge deck lounge is another space designed for relaxation. Two sectional couches are separated by an interesting curtain detail, allowing for flexible use of the space. A TV with a PlayStation and more oversized windows enhance the room's appeal. Automatic shades and sliding glass doors that open to the bridge deck aft make this lounge both practical and inviting.

Accommodation

B.A.L.M.Y. offers accommodation for up to 12 guests across six well-appointed staterooms.

The owner's suite, located on the main deck, is a full-beam stateroom featuring a king-size bed, plush furnishings, and expansive picture windows. The suite includes a private seating area and a built-in desk arranged to make the most of the natural light. This stateroom boasts two full bathrooms, each with high-quality marble finishes, walk-in showers, and ample storage space.

The lower deck houses four guest staterooms. Two of these are twin cabins, which can be configured either as single beds or as a king-size bed, depending on the guests' needs. These cabins feature padded walls, recessed lighting, and large windows, making them both cozy and inviting. Each twin cabin also includes an en-suite bathroom with marble finishes and walk-in showers.

The remaining two cabins on the lower deck are VIP staterooms, each equipped with a queen-size bed. These rooms are designed to provide a relaxing retreat, with low bed frames, ample natural light, and en-suite bathrooms fitted with marble and modern fixtures.
