London-based studio Swisship has unveiled a new 96-metre superyacht concept in collaboration with design firms Pascoli International and Carla Guilhem Design, known as WOW. Short for "Wellness on Water", the design, which is focused entirely around longevity and wellbeing at sea, was unveiled during an exclusive presentation at the Palm Beach International Boat Show.
Kristian Pascoli, founder and head designer of Pascoli International, and Andreas Iseli, founder of Swisship, are responsible for the architecture and exterior design of the 96-metre, using equal proportions, dynamic lines and functional onboard space to define WOW's stature. Inside, Carla Guilhem, founder and creative director of Carla Guilhem Design, is behind the interiors, which are described as "immersive and emotionally driven".
According to the collaborators, WOW introduces a new ethos of wellness and living at sea. As such, the yacht hosts a range of onboard amenities for advanced treatments, including a hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cryotherapy chamber, infrared sauna suites and Himalayan salt rooms. IV therapy and vitamin infusions, meditation and mindfulness pods, and bespoke spa rituals designed for regeneration and recovery complete the long list of wellness offerings on board.
“WOW is about creating a new way of living on water,” explained Guilhem. “It is no longer just about beauty or movement – it is about how space can heal, inspire and extend life. This project reflects a future where design becomes a tool for wellbeing."
Beyond physical wellbeing, WOW also sees a new generation of "AI-driven living", where spaces adapt to each guest’s preferences in real time. Lighting, temperature and ambience are adapted through personalised predictive systems that "anticipate needs before they arise". This is also furthered by circadian lighting, low-EMF environments, HEPA air purification and advanced climate systems developed to enhance sleep, energy and cognitive performance.
The concept also incorporates a "discreet wellness laboratory" concept, combining diagnostics, data and personalisation to ensure that each element on board supports long-term well-being.
“Collaborating on WOW allows us to explore new dimensions of yacht design,” added Pascoli. “We are integrating performance, technology, and human-centred design in a way that has never been done before. It is a true evolution of what a yacht can be.”
The unveiling comes months after Swisship and Pascoli International presented a new 93-metre superyacht concept in collaboration with German Naval Yards (GNY).
