Design & Construction
Designed around a semi-displacement GRP hull and superstructure she features a 7.22m beam and a 1.72m draft. The yacht is built over 2 decks with an internal volume of 243 GT (Gross Tonnes).
Construction started in early 2022. Launched in February 2023 this yacht undertook sea trials over the following months.
Exterior Design
At the stern, the yacht welcomes guests with a spacious cockpit, featuring an expansive dining area that seamlessly integrates with the grandeur of the open seas. The glass transom augments this experience, offering unobstructed views of the water, while the hardtop provides ample shade, enhancing comfort without compromising on the panoramic experience.
Sandbank's layout is carefully crafted to maximize outdoor living, with the inclusion of a variety of al fresco spaces that invite both relaxation and entertainment. The upper deck impresses with a generous sky lounge, opening up to a bar area and a large, open-air seating arrangement. This is complemented by adjustable louvres on the hardtop, allowing guests to tailor the area for light or shade as preferred, ensuring optimal comfort at all times.
The foredeck on Sandbank offers a secluded retreat with additional seating and a sunbathing area, perfect for intimate gatherings or solitary contemplation. The yacht's hot tub, positioned above the owner's cabin, not only serves as a luxurious amenity but also cleverly allows natural light to filter through to the cabin below, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere.
Sandbank's exterior design is both practical and elegant, with side decks that provide easy access to the various outdoor spaces. The integration of the passerelle is designed with discretion in mind, retracting neatly to preserve the yacht's sleek profile when not in use.
At the transom, Sandbank's bathing platform serves a dual purpose, facilitating effortless access to the water and operating as a lift for the yacht's tender. The innovative design allows the platform to lower into the water, enabling smooth launch and recovery of the tender, which can be stored in the spacious onboard garage.
Interior Design
Sandbank's interior design is a masterclass in achieving elegance through light and airy aesthetics without compromising on sophistication. The award-winning design, recognized as the best in its class for its size, brings forth an ambiance that is both luminous and opulent, a testament to the refined tastes of her creators.
Upon stepping inside Sandbank, guests are immediately enveloped by the chic decor that seamlessly blends light tones with strategic darker accents, conveying a sense of luxury that is both contemporary and timeless. The careful placement of lighting enhances the yacht's interior, creating an inviting atmosphere that accentuates the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail evident throughout the vessel.
The main saloon boasts generous seating arrangements and ambient lighting, which is complemented by a significant skylight, allowing natural light to cascade through and illuminate the entire area. This feature, coupled with the large windows, affords panoramic views of the surroundings, ensuring that the connection to the sea is ever-present.
Accommodation
With an interior that has garnered accolades for its design, Sandbank offers lavish accommodations for up to 12 guests across its 6 elegantly appointed suites.
The Owner's Suite, positioned on the main deck, is a sanctuary of sophistication and comfort. This full-beam stateroom is bathed in natural light, with expansive windows and a striking skylight that filters light through from the hot tub above, creating an inviting and serene atmosphere. The suite boasts a large en-suite bathroom adorned with exquisite marble, a walk-in wardrobe, and a spacious seating area, ensuring the utmost privacy and luxury for the owner.
Below deck, the guest accommodations continue to impress with their thoughtful layout and stylish finishes. The VIP cabin, a rarity on a yacht of this size, offers a generous space comparable to the master with its own large en-suite and wardrobe. Two additional double cabins and twin cabins are beautifully appointed, each with their own character and complete with en-suite facilities, ample storage, and large hull windows to connect guests with the surrounding seascape.
Sandbank ensures that the comfort extends to the crew as well, with a dedicated area thoughtfully designed for up to 6 crew members. This space includes two crew cabins, a captain's cabin, a crew mess, and direct access to the galley and laundry facilities, providing the crew with both comfort and functionality to deliver the highest level of service.
Performance & Capabilities
Sandbank is powered by twin diesel MAN V12-1900 engines each producing an impressive 1,864 horsepower. These engines are at the forefront of marine engineering, providing the yacht with reliable and efficient propulsion.
The Majesty 111 series, to which Sandbank belongs, has been designed with a semi-displacement hull. This design is a critical factor in her ability to achieve a top speed of 20 knots, which for a yacht of her stature, is commendable. This speed allows her to cover significant distances in a reduced timeframe, making her an excellent choice for those who wish to explore multiple destinations in luxury without compromising on time.
Cruising is where Sandbank truly shines; at a comfortable pace of 12 knots, guests can enjoy a serene journey across the seas. This cruising speed is a perfect balance, offering both efficiency and comfort, ensuring that the journey is as pleasurable as the destination.
Sandbank's range is equally remarkable. At her cruising speed, she boasts a range of approximately 1,300 nautical miles, owing to her well-designed fuel storage and efficient engine performance. This extended range allows for expansive voyages without the frequent need to refuel, opening up a world of possibilities for long-distance travel in the utmost luxury.
The yacht's engineering extends beyond just speed and range. Her stability at sea is enhanced by advanced stabilizing systems that ensure a smooth experience on board, even when the yacht encounters less than ideal sea conditions. This is an essential aspect of Sandbank's design, as it allows guests to enjoy their time on board without the discomfort that can be caused by rolling seas.
