The 67.8-metre Vitters sailing yacht Project 3095 has hit a construction milestone. The aluminium hull – which weighs 113 tons – has been turned and positioned on its cradles to prepare for the outfitting phase.
Work on the project began last year, with the yacht now the first to take up residence in Vitters' brand-new production shed, measuring 80 metres in length and 30 metres in width. She will remain under wraps until her delivery in summer 2026.
The yacht's exterior and interior are owed to long-standing collaborators Hoek Design and is an evolution of the pair's other projects, including the 54.6-metre Adele and the 50-metre Meraki. Interior styling is being led by Bunny Williams, while Van Ineveld & Co is overseeing the build on behalf of the owners.
Project 3095 will feature long overhangs, traditional finishes and the "Panamax height", which will allow it to clear the Bridge of the Americas in the Panama Canal.
Other key design features include three-deck houses clad in wood and a large, central guest cockpit. Owner and guest accommodation will be positioned aft, while the crew will be located forward.
The yacht will also be equipped with a low-emission diesel-electric propulsion and charging system. A permanent magnet electric motor will provide charging for the battery bank and propulsion when leaving a harbour or anchorage, allowing Project 3095 to run for a "considerable silent period".
In a world exclusive, Vitters recently spoke to BOAT International about the revolutionary Project Zero – the mission to build a luxurious 69-metre sailing yacht that doesn’t use a drop of fossil fuel.
