GHI expand Thunderbird range with six new designs

South Korean shipyard GHI have announced a range of new concepts to build on their Thunderbird fleet.

Designed by Rome based Borzelli & Berta, there are six new designs gradually being added to the Thunderbird line up.

New details about the additional semi displacement vessels were released by collaborative deisgners Borzelli & Berta who have unveiled that the Thunderbird line up will be joined by a 40, 45 and 50 metre yacht plus a 40 metre carrier.

Naval architecture for the yachts has been penned by Francesco Rogantin, with initial concept images indicating sporty affluences with a modern contemporary style. 

Our goal was to give to clients the feeling of dealing with a bigger boat, something that almost feels in another league, and this is probably something that reached its peak with the 130’ carrier.

Characteristics of the yachts follow in each other's carbon prints with the same design collaboration from Borzelli & Berta for both interiors and exteriors. External living is optimised to its fullest with innovative lounging areas plus integrated swimming pools on deck, with the Thunderbird 50 promising a collection of three pools.

Different to the Thunderbird yacht concepts, the 40 metre carrier is more military than sporty with distinctive lines and a top of the range touch and go helipad. Luxury remains a primary factor with the carrier as it boasts a full beam master suite with private access to a swimming pool on the bow.

In addition to the models already being unveiled, designers Borzelli & Berta have also announced they are currently developing a 32 metre Thunderbird yacht and a 50 metre carrier.
