Headline: Sleek New 331-Foot Superyacht Concept Mimics The Shape Of A Flower’s Petal
Caption: A new superyacht concept has been unveiled, with a sleek exterior that mimics the shape of the flower’s petal. Dubbed Lily, the ultra-modern vessel is a game-changer in yacht design, with a radical asymmetrical structure inspired by the delicate shape of a water lily. Designed by Vripack and developed by Dutch shipyard Oceanco, Lily is not just a vision of the future – it’s a yacht that could soon become reality. “Lily is a testament to what’s possible when design meets advanced construction and engineering,” says Paris Baloumis, group marketing director at Oceanco. “It represents Oceanco’s drive to deliver a fully realisable yacht for an owner ready to embrace the future. Lily is not just a statement of intent; it’s a yacht ready to be brought to life.” With its striking split-level structure and overlapping decks, the 95-metre yacht creates a spacious and free-flowing onboard experience. Huge windows and glass panels allow for uninterrupted views, creating a sense of openness and connection to the surrounding ocean. Oceanco has meticulously designed Lily’s layout to offer intimate yet luxurious spaces, catering to multiple families or groups of friends. The leisure deck is the yacht’s social hub, featuring an outdoor pool, gym, wellness center, watersports gallery, and a chic bar and dining area. For guests, the lower split-level deck offers six stunning cabins, each positioned to maximise privacy. Three sit on the port side and three on the starboard, separated across different levels, ensuring flexible accommodation for a variety of guests. The upper deck goes even further, featuring three additional guest cabins, a cinema, and a one-of-a-kind suspended playroom that can be accessed via a bridge. For those seeking ultimate exclusivity, the top deck is reserved entirely for the owner’s private apartment and terrace. Accessed via an elevator or a grand staircase, the suite boasts floor-to-ceiling curved windows coated with one-way film for maximum privacy. The split-level design separates living spaces from sleeping quarters, offering a peaceful retreat in a completely private setting. But Lily isn’t just about luxury – it’s packed with cutting-edge technology. The yacht’s revolutionary oval-shaped opening above the owner’s suite acts as a natural air channel, reducing reliance on HVAC systems and significantly improving energy efficiency. Designed with seamless operation in mind, it accommodates up to 33 crew members, with discreet access points ensuring impeccable service. Oceanco has also equipped Lily with a high-tech virtual bridge on the upper deck, replacing traditional forward-facing windows with a state-of-the-art camera and screen system. This ensures precise navigation, while strategically placed windows and balconies maintain a connection to the sea. One of the yacht’s most groundbreaking features is its propulsion system – the ABB Dynafin. Inspired by the movement of whale and dolphin tails, this advanced system enhances propulsion efficiency, slashing fuel consumption and emissions. The system can change thrust direction almost instantly, improving manoeuvrability, while its modular design ensures reliability and simplified maintenance. Lily is also built with the future of yachting in mind. Developed as part of Oceanco’s and Lateral’s Energy Transition Platform (ETP), it is designed to transition to 100% methanol fuel. This flexible approach ensures that owners can adapt to evolving fuel technologies, making the yacht as future-proof as it is revolutionary.
