Revealed: BOAT Design & Innovation Awards 2021 Winners

This year’s Design & Innovation Awards were unusual to say the least but, despite the Covid-19 crisis, builders still managed to deliver outstanding yachts and submit them for our prestigious event by the third week of October 2020. It was a competitive year, and 15 judges – all designers and industry professionals – selected winners by studying supporting materials including photos, videos, statements and specifications from a large field of entrants. Since in-person meeting was impossible, the judges’ debate was moved online. The virtual meeting took place over two days of discussion and voting, and we are pleased to announce the winners of this year’s awards – and two special Judges' commendations.

The 2021 Design & Innovation Awards event are held in collaboration with Event Partners  Oceanco ,  Benetti  and  Videoworks . Plus,  Viraver  as Supporting Partner.

The Winners

Outstanding Exterior Design, Motor Yachts 24m to 39.9m: SX112 Outstanding Exterior Design, Motor Yachts 40m to 59.9m: Blue II Outstanding Exterior Design, Motor Yachts 60m and above: Lana Outstanding Exterior Design, Sailing Yachts: CeFeA Best Interior Design, Motor Yachts 499GT and below: Club M Best Interior Design, Motor Yachts 500GT and above: Artefact Best Interior Design, Sailing Yachts: Geist Best Naval Architecture, Semi Displacement or Planing Motor Yachts: Touch Me Best Naval Architecture, Full-displacement Motor Yachts: Artefact Best Naval Architecture, Sailing Yachts: Sea Eagle II Outstanding Lifestyle Feature: Luminosity Beach Club Best New Series: Riva 88’ Folgore Eco Award: Geist Innovation of the Year: DC Hybrid Power Grid on board Artefact Tender of the Year: T/T Radiant Lifetime Achievement Award: Tim Heywood   Judges’ Commendations Exterior Design, Motor Yachts 60m and above: La Datcha Naval Architecture, Sailing Yachts: Morgana

Outstanding Exterior Design, Motor Yachts 24m to 39.9m

In this very competitive category, the SX112 distinguished itself for its great use of space and glass. The flagship of the SX line presents several new features, but one engineered with great care, is particularly interesting. An integrated davit in the boat’s side is invisible until it pivots to offload a tender stored on what is an exceptionally large beach platform/aft deck (8.5 sq. metres) for a boat of this length. With its unusual layout, styling features that emphasize connection with the environment and oversized beach club with multiple openings, the judges felt it creates an entirely new boating lifestyle.

Name : SX112 Length : 34.16m Exterior Design : Zuccon International Project Interior Design : Lissoni Associati Naval Architect : Sanlorenzo Builder : Sanlorenzo

Outstanding Exterior Design, Motor Yachts 40m to 59.9m

Judges were impressed by the charm and nostalgia of the design, its colour scheme and its well-considered open deck spaces. The cleanness of lines and consistency of details update a familiar look for a genre that never really existed in the past – explorer yachts – and helped the boat’s appearance remain true to itself in form without compromising function. The long open aft deck houses two large tenders or a submarine below yet this open deck is also classic workboat style. The proportions of the superstructure are pleasing and appropriate to the style

Length : 56m Exterior Design : Hoek Design Naval Architects Interior Design : Hoek Design Naval Architects , Vickers Studio Naval Architect : Hoek Design Naval Architects Builder : Turquoise Yachts

Outstanding Exterior Design, Motor Yachts 60m and above

The boat’s sleek proportion belies its huge size. Smooth surfaces and long lines created by tinted glass and metal structures (such as the brows along the main deck’s bank of windows) pull the eye toward the horizon, which is in keeping with a yacht of such long range. The eight-metre pool structure forward is an interesting twist on typical placement and helps divide various functions of the sundeck, which is an important consideration for a yacht that can carry many guests. Combining this open area with the open space requirement for a helipad on the deck below shows clear thinking in terms of balancing the yacht’s look, and the plumb bow supports the modern style.

Judges' Commendation Exterior Design : La Datcha

The judges debated at length about shapes and proportions in the exterior design above 60 metre category and how subtle features can get lost is very large boats. While Lana pulled ahead in the final point tally, the judges were impressed with the impact of the styling from Azure Naval Architects for the Damen Yachting SeaXplorer La Datcha . They felt her strong, inventive lines created an instantly identifiable, purpose-driven look for this booming genre of explorer yachts.

Length : 77m Exterior Design : Azure Yacht Design Interior Design : Vasiliy Shprits Naval Architect : Damen Yachting Builder : Damen Yachting

Outstanding Exterior Design, Sailing Yachts

Modern styling with an ultra-sleek coach roof and two separate spacious cockpits, one connected to the owner’s stateroom for privacy, won the nod from the judges. They also appreciated how shrouds, winches, runners sheets and mooring lines were kept well away from guest areas for safety. The twin wheels are well positioned up and aft of the guest area so that the captain has a clear view of crew and guests during maneuvers, which judges noted was a good safety feature. The innovation of casting the upper half of the aft bulkhead of the master suite in glass to overlook the private aft cockpit is a feature that deserves to be repeated.

Length : 33.77m Exterior Design : MYT Interior Design : MYT Naval Architect : Javier Soto Acebal Builder : Solaris

Best Interior Design, Motor Yachts 499GT and below

This interior tailored to the owners was deemed the standout thanks to plethora of architectural details – curved shapes in the ceiling and seashell-inspired steps on the main stairs, for example – and sophisticated and soft materials that convey warmth and luxury. Achille Salvagni chose most materials for their softness and ability to bend around curves and even stones were fashioned to look supple. The designer drew nearly every piece of furniture to create a fantasy that allows the owners to escape to their own private world while maintaining a purity of line from the exterior.

Length : 39.75m Interior Design : Achille Salvagni Architetti Exterior Design : Horacio Bozzo Design Naval Architect : Baglietto   Builder : Baglietto

Best Interior Design, Motor Yachts 500GT and above 

From an outstanding owners’ office to the stunning luxury of space and the perfect integration of artwork, Artefact was a clear winner in this category. The unusual layout is perfectly suited for the owners’ plans to spend extended stay on board with family. The custom furniture, including a stunning table made by Silverlining, plays off the yacht’s abundant windows, which Reymond Langdon smartly integrated into its design. Materials and shapes were chosen strategically to achieve the owners’ desire for a cosiness that is hard to achieved with walls made of glass. The layout also shows great attention to the needs of the crew.

Best Interior Design, Sailing Yachts

Innovative and stunning are words that just touch the surface when it comes to one of the most bespoke yachts we have seen. Following the directive for organic shapes and no straight lines, Rhoades Young and Spirit Yachts have created a yacht interior that truly flows. The all-wood interior hides all systems, support and structural elements – indeed all storage, too – behind a gleaming curvaceous façade of clear-finished sipo, which forms the interior skin of this cold-moulded yacht. There is no reliance on loose designer furniture or decorative elements. Light, shadow and sensuous shapes define a saloon and four staterooms that seem simply to unfold like a dream. As evidenced by the fact the yard had to invent a new way to steam-bend walnut for the furniture, the joinery skills and labor hours needed to execute this interior are off the chart.

Best Naval Architecture, Semi-Displacement or Planing Motor Yachts

In the popular category of yachts that have to do two things well, Touch Me stood out for stunning performance achieved through smartly modifying the yacht from the standard Pershing envelope first shown in 2019. The owner’s requirement for a top speed of 38 knots sent the design and build team back to their computers to rethink appendages, weight and balances as well the horsepower required to propel a 43.3m yacht with a luxury interior to high speed. Hull tweaks, including use of interceptors for trim and water jets for propulsion, were developed in CFD and then proven in model testing. Even the angles of the raw water intakes were adjusted to reduce drag and gain the last fraction of speed. Designers also provided a detailed weight management plan for the construction.

Best Naval Architecture, Full-Displacement Motor Yachts

Aside from looking at numbers that show efficient fuel consumption and form stability, the judges in the naval architecture category evaluate how well the platform answers the owners’ criteria – which Artefact does so well, since it was in fact built from an extremely detailed brief that went in depth into performance expectations and means to achieve them – but also how well it helps advance superyacht engineering. Artefact was rigorously tested from top to bottom to ensure it met the owners’ expectations in terms of stability, noise, comfort and efficiency. Tunnel test and several tank tests helped fine tune the results. Not only do the numbers work, the innovative hybrid propulsion and DC grid electrical architecture, which will help future proof the yacht, helped the 2,999 GT yacht stand in a class of her own.

Best Naval Architecture, Sailing Yachts

Sea eagle ii.

In the most intricately quantitative category, the numbers determined the two top candidates to be the ones most unalike, one a race-ready yacht and the other a cruising schooner. Surprisingly the science behind their designs, their hull and sail plan efficiencies and performance under power were very similar. While both are custom designs, Sea Eagle II was the more novel concept and presented the larger design and innovation, given the owner’s brief and the loads and complexities associated with her size and 1,027-tonne displacement. She is not just a large cruising yacht with global capability but a beautiful boat that sails well.

Length : 81m Naval Architect : Dykstra Naval Architects Builder : Royal Huisman Exterior Design : Dykstra Naval Architects Interior Design : Mark Whiteley

Judges' Commendation Naval Architecture: Morgana

Based on a performance calculation total almost identical to the winner and on the work shown for design refinement via CFD, plus tank and wind tunnel testing by her naval architects Reichel Pugh and builder Southern Wind, the judges award a special commendation to 30.5m Morgana .

Length : 30.5m Naval architect : Reichel Pugh Yacht Design Builder : Southern Wind Shipyard Exterior Design : Nauta Design Interior Design : Nauta Design

Outstanding Lifestyle Feature

Luminosity beach club.

As the largest yacht entered in competition by gross tonnage, you would expect Luminosity not to disappoint when it came to the lifestyle offered by her enormous beach club and wellness area, and it did not. It really is a guest destination with an enormous pool offset to starboard and an icy plunge pool on centreline, a treat for those who might have enjoyed a steam in the hammam or dry heat in the sauna. There is an area to dine decorated in cabana colours, a juice bar and areas to relax, work out, do stretches and yoga or grab an update on news. Changing rooms and all manner of tenders and water toys are at the ready. With hull doors open on both sides providing limitless views and fresh air it is the ultimate indulgence.

Best New Series

Riva 88' folgore.

This new addition to the Riva brand seduced the judges with its sleek exterior and warm and elegant interior. Built in composite and finished with mahogany and stainless-steel detailing (as well as carbon fibre), its design does not break with tradition but rather reinterprets the Riva brand for modern times. Judges remarked on the beauty of the boat’s fleeting lines and a highly developed interior package that can easily be replicated or tweaked to suit different tastes. With a top speed of up to 39 knots, they remarked, not only does it look like a Riva, it handles like one.

Length : 26.9m Exterior Design : Officina Italiana Design Interior Design : Officina Italiana Design Naval Architect : Ferretti Group - Riva Builder : Ferretti Group - Riva

The owner’s clear wishes that this yacht have minimum environmental impact in both build and operation impressed the judges, as did the yard’s ability to deliver on all counts – even to the use of aluminium anodes, which do not contain hazardous cadmium. Built primarily of a renewable resource – wood – Geist is almost exclusively powered by wind and water. When she is sailing, the propeller on her Torqeedo electric motor becomes a shaft generator, delivering power to 160kWh of Lithium batteries that can be used to run the household conveniences at anchor or power this vessel silently through an anchorage. Lights and appliances, including cooling and air conditioning, were selected for efficiency ratings. Even the mattresses use biodegradable materials, and the sails are EU-certified recyclable.

Innovation of the Year

Dc hybrid power grid on board artefact.

Artefact ’s DC Grid-based hybrid power system by ABB was a runaway winner in innovation. This DC-based Grid enables simple and flexible integration of various energy sources, from variable speed gensets to batteries. Computer controlled, it does not require the intervention of a ship’s engineer and automatically and instantly allocates energy in optimal fashion, according to the ship’s operation requirement, resulting in important energy savings. Its modular design allows making the yacht future proof because it can be upgraded to newer technologies as they become available, for instance the integration of fuel cells in place of generators.

Tender of the Year

T/t radiant.

This 12-passenger, 45-knot tender was designed to replace the yacht’s previous owner’s limo tender with one that was quieter and had extra luxury features such as a fully opening glass roof, a galley and a day head. It had to precisely match the mothership’s livery and ethos, have both fore and aft boarding options and complete separation of guests and crew. Its AV and lighting package includes thoughtful amenities such as fold-down armrests with USB ports and illumination. All lights and entertainment electronics, including an underwater camera, are controlled via a Crestron touch screen just like the mothership. Technical features such as a near-silent gearless bow thruster are matched with ultimate luxury such as the dove grey interior leather seats stitched by a master saddler who works with supercar brands.

Submission: February 28, 2023 Registration: February 28, 2023 Language: English Location: Concept Prizes: Please see details below Type: Student competition

Sea Design Contest 2023 is the first international design competition entirely dedicated to the nautical sector and open to students and recent graduates from all over the world. Young designers are invited to submit new or existing concepts in keeping with three broad categories: nautical design, industrial design, and “design for all”, the latter having a focus on making sea and aquatic lifestyle more accessible to people with disability. Winners will be invited as guests of honour at the 2023 and 2024 editions of the Tigullio Design District festival where they’ll have the opportunity to showcase their work in front of a large network of companies and professionals of the nautic sector.

Proposals are accepted from 18+ yo design students and recent graduates who have completed their studies in 2022. Both unpublished projects and projects that have been already published or conceived on other occasions are accepted.

STEP1: Follow the organisers on Instagram: Tigullio Design District, Nautic One, Desall STEP2: Register on desall.com/Signup STEP3: Submit your project via the Upload page on desall.com

Deadline: February 28, 2023 (1.59 PM UTC)

Tigullio Design District and Nautic One are looking for projects related to the major themes of the sea. While there are no particular restrictions relating to the category of product or service sought, submissions should be in keeping with the nautical sector and aimed at solving problems related to everyday life at sea. Participants are therefore allowed to submit different types of design concepts, such as boats, products, services, innovative systems, projects linked to the protection of the marine environment or to the world of disability in aquatic contexts etc.

The first edition of the Sea Design Contest (2022) catered to Italian students and saw the participation of numerous universities of industrial and yacht design. The award recipients are listed as follow: Ester Ferlito, Chiara Garofalo & Matteo Barbagelata, Nicola Galli & Simone Quintavalle. The 2023 edition is open to students and recent graduates from all over the world.

Jury voices of the Rossinavi Design Challenge

Jury member Antonio Vettese , Editor-in-Chief of Yacht Capital and editor at The Boat Show comments:

“Today, many owners want their ships to be ready to navigate even through ice, and this leads to complications. In the projects we have seen in the competition, some participants have gone into this territory with great knowledge, sometimes solving the problem well. Innovation does not always have to be something never seen before – sometimes innovation can be made by looking at the past and certain traditional solutions, because ‘tradition’ does not simply mean old and stale values, but elaborate values that millennia of navigation have proposed and brought to sea. “

Editor-in-Chief of Ocean Home Magazine, Bill Springer said:

“The quality (and quantity!) of the entries in the first ever Rossinavi Design Challenge shows just how talented and passionate the world’s super yachts designers are. The Rossinavi Design Challenge is more than just another design competition. It provides a glimpse of the future of superyacht design.”

Exciting yacht design doesn’t require reinventing the wheel. But a fresh view always helps. That’s why more yacht owners are looking for land-based architects and designers for their new build and refit interiors, preferring a cross-pollination of ideas over the tried and true.

The first owner to shy away from the traditional yacht designer set was billionaire Lukas Lundin, who tasked Italian architect Cristina Gherardi Benardeau to design the interior of the 274-foot Savannah. The Feadship, launched in 2015, is largely remembered as the first superyacht with a hybrid propulsion package. But the interior is just as radical.

Benardeau, a designer of retail space for Giorgio Armani and Christian Dior Couture, gave the 262-foot yacht the world’s first “Nemo lounge,” or a bubble in the hull where the owners and guests could see underwater.  It also featured what looked like a floating superstructure, employing long strips of tinted glass inspired by skyscrapers. (The same visual trick was employed later in Oceanco’s 361-foot Jubilee.) Savannah was the first boat to receive full metallic exterior paint job to blend in with the ocean surroundings—an idea later seen on superyacht Kensho, when it delivered in 2022.

Since then, a number of owners and boatbuilders have employed residential architects to do interior designs, as well as offer exterior flourishes (though naval architects complete the structures and running surfaces.) Rome architect Achille Salvagni has done projects for Rossinavi and Azimut, Lord Norman Foster created a series that later became the YachtPlus fleet, Lazzarini & Pickering designed the Benetti Motopanfilo 37M, and next year, Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez will show their talents on Azimut’s SeaDeck Series.

Even residential stalwarts like Zaha Hadid Architects can’t help but experiment with nautical projects. Following the 2016 reveal of the firm’s Unique Circle Yachts series, the studio collaborated with Vitruvius Yachts this year on Britain’s new “royal yacht” project. And more recently, the architects unveiled concept renderings for Oneiric, a proposed catamaran in collaboration with Italian shipyard Rossinavi.

From skyscraper to sea, here are six yachts designed by mainstream architects.

<p>Architect Roberto Palomba has been designing houses for decades. His Milan-based studio, Palomba Serafini Associati, includes the Italian Consulate in Detroit, home décor and even tableware, among its past projects. His first yacht is the <a href="https://robbreport.com/motors/marine/amer-41-explorer-superyacht-cool-innovations-1234794265/">Amer</a> F100, which features a unique “Glass Cabin” as the main salon. It was designed in partnership with Ludovica Serafini. “My aim was to change some standard boat elements to create something completely different,” Palomba told <em>Robb Report</em> during the yacht’s world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival. “Certainly, our perspective offers a fresh look, an architectural vision rooted in the world of architecture and interior design, translated into the realm of yacht design.” The Glass Cabin is an architectural glass box that encases the main salon and formal dining area with windows that are larger than other yachts with similar dimensions. The garden creates openness, light and a continuous connection with the sea. Continuing the theme, reflective surfaces are used on the walls and ceiling across all social areas to bring more light in, while stairs joining the main deck to the bridge are topped by more glass, opening the heart of the yacht to blue skies.</p>

<p><a href="https://robbreport.com/motors/marine/admiral-yachts-246-foot-kensho-new-design-features-1234763352/"><em>Kensho</em></a>‘s owner was a first-time yacht buyer who wanted a one-of-a-kind vessel. He looked beyond the pool of yachting talent for a designer who could create a signature statement inside the 246-foot Admiral. The owner eventually decided on Paris design house Jouin Manku, an experienced architecture and industrial design studio, without a single yacht to its name. Co-founder Sanjit Manku took the design brief and ran with it, eschewing traditional yachting layouts for high-volume and big sea views. Variations on the established interiors include lofty 8.9-foot-tall ceilings, open-plan cabin layouts (where the bathrooms are on display) and locating the owner’s salon—more akin to an observation lounge—to the upper deck where the captains’ wheelhouse is traditionally located.  “We drew on our restaurant design experience to create an ambience and furniture that is practical yet opulent,” Manku told <em>Robb Report</em>. “The dining chairs have ski feet that make it easy for guests to slide in and out, and we incorporated flattering lighting rather than ceiling spotlights.” The end result is a stunning, personalized interior that is unique in yachting. </p>

Variations on the established interiors include lofty 8.9-foot-tall ceilings, open-plan cabin layouts (where the bathrooms are on display) and locating the owner’s salon—more akin to an observation lounge—to the upper deck where the captains’ wheelhouse is traditionally located.  “We drew on our restaurant design experience to create an ambience and furniture that is practical yet opulent,” Manku told Robb Report . “The dining chairs have ski feet that make it easy for guests to slide in and out, and we incorporated flattering lighting rather than ceiling spotlights.” The end result is a stunning, personalized interior that is unique in yachting. 

<p>Refits are also getting design overhauls by non-yacht designers. Lürssen’s 318-foot <a href="https://robbreport.com/motors/marine/superyacht-carinthia-vii-refit-lurssen-1235333612/"><em>Carinthia VII</em></a>, first delivered in 2002 and designed by Tim Heywood, was sold in 2022 to a new owner. He called on Italian studio Bizzozero Cassina Architects for what turned out to be a major refit in a nearly record 300 days. The architectural studio is experienced in real estate, including a few of the owner’s private properties. But yacht refits are a recent addition to its portfolio. “The key to any project’s success is to know the person, their lifestyle and the way they think,” architect Paolo Bizzozero said. “Only with these three ingredients can you remedy a truly bespoke environment that works for them and for their life.” Key additions include a 1,334-sq. ft. sundeck, with a large dining table and teppanyaki grill. Equally impressive was the 39-foot-long glass-paneled swimming pool on the main deck (with two large televisions to view live sports), and a 968-sq. ft. air-conditioned gym on the bridge deck that also serves as a winter garden.</p>

Conceived to match the luxe design of a custom continental GT coupe, the sailboat features the same materials, motifs and craftsmanship on its cars and home designs, including the same hand-stitching found on the Bentley steering wheel and the yacht’s Malvern Chair. Bespoke one-offs include a bar and vanity unit, the captain’s chair and “Egg” table, and a sofa which was hand-built at Bentley’s engineering facility and finished in its signature trim. The brand’s iconic diamond-quilted hides were also included across entire yacht interior.

At 11:30 a.m. Sunday morning, with New York City under a heat advisory, a gaggle of sailing enthusiasts, dressed in polo shirts and summer dresses, boarded a ferry for Governors Island to watch towering F50 catamarans race along the skyline of Lower Manhattan and in front of the Statue of Liberty.

It was the second day and the finals of the New York Sail Grand Prix, part of SailGP, the growing international sailing competition in which teams, grouped by country, compete in $5 million boats that race up to 60 miles per hour.

The competition was founded in 2018 by Larry Ellison, the tech billionaire, and Russell Coutts, a five-time America’s Cup winner, to build a mainstream sailing league. Unlike America’s Cup, which occurs roughly every four years, SailGP has events around the globe throughout the year, allowing audiences to follow along.

“It’s this high-adrenaline, high-speed sort of racing product right in front of you,” Mr. Coutts said.

A crowd of spectators sit together on a bunch of stands. Three people hold up white letters that say USA.

Organizers and fans are comparing the competition to Formula 1 racing on the water, which also has billionaire and celebrity backers and flashy backdrops including St. Tropez and Dubai. Now in its fourth season, the number of SailGP teams and events has doubled. The races, filled with Olympic sailors and state-of-the-art catamarans, are broadcast throughout the world and attract millions of viewers, according to organizers.

The sold-out race was held at the tip of Manhattan. Thousands of spectators gathered to watch the race by boat or from Governors Island, a 172-acre island in New York Harbor. (Tickets started at $85 for the grandstand.)

A private tent on a paved area by the water was reserved for team owners and invited ticket holders. There was sushi and dumplings and tea service catered by the Plaza.

The teams were spread around the lounge, marked by flags. Lindsey Vonn, the Olympic ski racer, is on the board of directors for the team from the United States.

“I love speed and adrenaline, so when the opportunity presented itself it was a no-brainer,” Ms. Vonn said in a text message. She attended the race live on Saturday.

On Sunday, the races started around 1 p.m., prompting many guests to put down their champagne and Aperol spritzes and approach the edge of the water to take in the sailing.

Unlike in Formula 1, where a spectator can see only a short stretch of the track at a time, all of SailGP’s racing happens in a tight area in full view of the crowd.

The event is a series of three short races (each one lasts about 15 minutes) in which the boats circle the course multiple times, depending on the wind conditions.

For the boat to turn, 32 functions have to be performed by the team in unison. The catamarans are close enough to shore to see the sailors — there are usually six on each boat — in action.

Jennifer Falvey, 63, a real estate agent, had traveled from Woodstock, Vt., for the event after hearing it about it from a friend. “The boats are just so sexy,” she said.

Daniela Forte, who came with her husband from Westport, Conn., was struck by the speed.

“I don’t have a sailing background, and I had never heard of SailGP before this event, but it’s kind of an amazing idea,” she said. “Sailing has always felt like something you had to do, not just something you can watch, but this is amazing.”

An hour and a half after the first race started, the team from New Zealand was declared the winner (a television broadcaster announced: “The Kiwis have conquered Manhattan.”) The top three contenders are now New Zealand, Australia and Spain — ahead of the season finals in San Francisco in the middle of July.

Then sailors, still wet from the water, filled the lounge for “Apres Sail.” Hundreds of people remained in the private lounge for hours, snacking on fresh plates of pasta and freshly shucked oysters.

Despite the stifling, 90-degree temperatures the party continued until late afternoon. Dance music blared over the loudspeakers, fans mingled with the sailors, and at least one bar ran out of champagne.
