8 of the biggest yachts at the 2018 Monaco Yacht Show
DAR
- Length: 90m
- Shipyard: Oceanco
- Exterior/interior design: De Basto Designs/Nuvolari Lenard
Sometimes in yacht design, initial concepts can appear futuristic, as Luiz de Basto says his probably did for this 90m Oceanco. But then technology and engineering realities dial down the extremes. In this case, though, the dream has become an extraordinary reality. DAR features the latest advances in glass technology – the superstructure is completely finished in reflective glass, which is offset with white balconies for a distinctive contrast, “providing a constant exchange in shape and lines between the two elements”, says De Basto. Just as exciting is the nature-themed interior by Nuvolari Lenard.
Solo
- Length: 72m
- Shipyard: Tankoa
- Exterior/interior design: Francesco Paszkowski Design/ Francesco Paszkowski, Margherita Casprini
Freshly launched this month, Tankoa'sSolo has certainly made a splash. You name it, this yacht’s got it: massage room, hair dressing area, sauna, gym, 6m pool – she even has a baby grand piano and fireplace. From the spacious beach club to the main-deck guest accommodation and the private owner’s deck with direct helipad access, the optimised-for-charter yacht is packed with fun features.
GO
- Length: 77m
- Shipyard: Turquoise Yachts
- Exterior/interior design: H2 Yacht Design
The Turquoise flagship GO has room for more, accommodating 18 guests, including on the owner’s deck, which features a forward-facing cabin overlooking the sea and a private spa pool on deck. Getting around the massive yacht is easy, with a full-size lift running from the central tender garage all the way to the sundeck, which boasts a 5m pool with waterfall. The beach club is also impressive, opening to the sea on two sides.
