Abdulbaki Sęnol releases 35m yacht concept with "unconventional" bow design

Turkish designer Abdulbaki Sęnol has unveiled a new 35-metre superyacht concept with an "unconventional" bow design and increased interior volume. 

A dark grey hull and white superstructure characterise the motor yacht, with its geometric lines, extensive glazing and unusually wide, stepped bow, resembling that of an explorer yacht. 

The new design follows the 110-metre concept, Grandeur, which was released in December 2024. Despite being the smallest concept released by the designer to date, the 35-metre superyacht offers the largest amount of living space on board of all of the designs, made possible by the redesigned bow.

"In all the yacht designs I have created to date, my primary goal has always been to maximise usable space," explained Sęnol. "This concept, which I have been working on for about a year, and is the smallest in length among my designs, offers more living space than its counterparts despite being only 35 metres long and 8 metres wide."

As such, the layout offers a forward-facing master cabin nestled into the bow, with over 60 square metres of usable space and 180-degree uninterrupted views out. Dual en suites and dressing rooms can also be found here, one to port and one to starboard, in addition to fixed balconies accessible via sliding doors.

Heading aft on the main deck lies a wide and open-plan main saloon, with a dining table for ten guests and two large L-shaped sofas, while doors lead to another twin-sofa arrangement on the aft deck. Above, the upper deck features another relaxed lounge space with a bar, complemented by further outdoor seating and an al fresco dining space outside.

Guest accommodation can be found on the lower deck, where two VIP cabins and two guest cabins accommodate up to 10 guests. Meanwhile, a further three cabins accommodate a crew of up to six. According to the designer, the yacht's interior can be customised according to the owner's preferences.

Propulsion is yet to be finalised, but Sęnol anticipates that a hybrid propulsion system will be used for the yacht.
