Design & Construction
Designed around a displacement steel hull and an aluminium superstructure she features a 11.4m beam and a 3.7m draft. The yacht is built over 4 decks with an internal volume of 1,467 GT (Gross Tonnes). The design also incorporates a touch and go heli-pad.
The yacht was designed and constructed in compliance with the Lloyds Register technical standards.
Exterior Design
Predator's distinctive profile is characterized by its aggressive, sleek lines that promise and deliver swift movement through water, achieving speeds exceeding 28 knots. The axe bow, a standout feature, not only contributes to Predator's swift passage but also minimizes resistance.
The color scheme of red, white, and blue is unmissable, creating a visual identity that is bold and recognizable. Predator's visual impact is further amplified by its streamlined structure and the absence of a visible wave as it cuts through the sea.
The ship's deck design is thoughtfully planned, with an aft bridge deck that invites outdoor dining and socializing. Large square windows allow natural light to flood the main saloon and emphasize the relaxed, casual atmosphere on board.
Interior Design
The main saloon has a sliding door that opens to reveal a dining table ingeniously engineered to split in two. This feature allows for easy movement through the space.
Throughout the interior, the extensive use of Karelian birch veneer imparts a subtle elegance, contrasting dynamically with the rich hues of Macassar ebony and the distinctive patterns of Zebrano wood. The choice of materials denotes a conscious effort to balance visual impact with weight considerations, as every item onboard was logged to ensure adherence to the stringent weight management plan.
The saloon further showcases large display cabinets that cleverly conceal the yacht's air intakes. These cabinets are framed in ebony, serving as a repository for a curated collection of artwork and artifacts, adding a layer of personalization to the space. In the bridge deck saloon, this design element is replicated, reinforcing a sense of continuity throughout the yacht.
For the interior fittings, bronze was selected as the material for bathroom fixtures and door handles, injecting a touch of refined sophistication into the design language. The custom-designed dining table and coffee tables, along with other bespoke furniture pieces crafted by renowned artisans at Pollaro in the United States, contribute to the unique character of Predator's interior spaces.
Accommodation
Predator offers accommodation for six guests in five suites, ensuring a private and intimate experience on the water.
The centerpiece of Predator's guest accommodations is the master suite, an expansive single-level cabin featuring a study/sitting area. The suite boasts a hydraulically opening skylight above the bed, allowing for an abundance of natural light and fresh air, and is flanked by elliptical windows that maintain the cabin's connection to the sea. The spacious bathroom benefits from a skylight, compensating for the absence of natural light due to the presence of two large dressing rooms.
In addition to the luxurious master suite, Predator features two VIP guest suites on the main deck. These suites are superbly appointed and offer a level of comfort and elegance that one would expect from a yacht of this caliber.
As for the crew, Predator ensures that those who operate and maintain the vessel are well accommodated, with crew quarters meticulously designed to maximize comfort and functionality. The yacht provides living spaces for 18 crew members, housed in a captain's cabin and nine two-bunked cabins.
Performance & Capabilities
Equipped with four MTU diesel engines, Predator delivers a combined power output exceeding 17,280kW. This power is harnessed through custom-built Renk gearboxes, which drive two Rolls-Royce controllable pitch propellers measuring an impressive 3.2 meters in diameter. As a result, Predator achieves a top speed of more than 28 knots.
The yacht's range and fuel efficiency are optimized through the innovative design of her axe bow, which significantly reduces resistance, allowing for greater speeds with conventional propulsion systems. Her deep draft of 3.7 meters is reflective of the substantial propulsion system housed below deck.
Predator's stabilizing system includes Quantum zero-speed stabilizers, which ensure a smooth and stable experience onboard, whether at anchor or while cruising. This advanced technology is instrumental in providing comfort for guests and crew alike.
Predator's air management system is equally sophisticated, requiring 200,000 cubic meters of air at full speed to cool the engines. Unique computer-controlled exhaust systems efficiently dissipate heat, while composite hatches on the main deck facilitate additional airflow when all engines are operational.
For navigation and communication, Predator is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment from leading manufacturers such as Nera and Furuno for communications, and Anschütz and Leica for navigation. The yacht's entertainment systems are provided by Van Berge Henegouwen, ensuring top-quality audiovisual experiences throughout the vessel.
Amenities
The yacht can house plenty of nautical toys and accessories, with a well-appointed tender garage for storing her impressive locker. Air conditioning offers increased on-board comfort. Predator also features a deck jacuzzi for cooling off.
