Her distinct exterior styling includes a slightly flared bow and metallic bronze-painted features, as well as a cleverly designed funnel that acts as additional storage, and minimises the size of her radio masts.“It’s been a real pleasure working with such a prolific sailing yacht designer,” commented Klaas Hakvoort, owner and managing director at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/40" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Hakvoort Shipyard (Company)">Royal Hakvoort Shipyard</a>. “We pride ourselves on the diversity of our fleet and how when we say full-custom, we mean full-custom – and Project YN256 is unlike anything we’ve built before.”Project YN256 has a contemporary, modern and minimalist interior design.

As well as this, when the pool is covered, this space can easily host large parties on the aft deck, with her bridge deck providing alfresco dining and seating.Sustainability was an important factor for the client, who requested a hybrid propulsion system and CFD-optimised hull. Project YN256 will also be outfitted with natural, ethically sourced materials, including her teak decking.In terms of performance, Project YN256 will be equipped with a <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> hybrid propulsion system consisting of two 200kW shaft generators/drives and a 500kW battery bank connected to a 750VDC bus.

The sweet sub-500 GT spot is desirable for shipbuilders and owners alike; lower <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4531" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="International Maritime Organization (Company)">IMO</a> regulations need to be adhered to for one, but then you also have additional running and crew costs, pricier berthing rates, and limited cruising grounds in shallower waters. There is also the benefit of added privacy, as while you don’t have as much onboard space you can travel with less crew, making excursions all the more intimate. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/208212/image/large-391ca1c70a6822b2c89fe2ca519bf6b3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/208212">A beauty of this segment is that you’re not limited to production yachts either, as there is a &nbsp;plethora of astounding designers penning one-of-a-kind fully custom sub-500 GT superyachts, which are typically around 45-55 metres in length. “As the process of designing a full custom yacht is time-consuming, this is a sector pretty much exclusively reserved for experienced owners,” Jan Jaap Minnema, sales broker at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fraser (Company)">Fraser</a>, explained.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/32758/image/large-b1924d2b13548bb868b7e704f857c44e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/32758">While this has traditionally been the case, with recent events blocking a number of Russian clients out of the market, things could change. “Shipyards may need to reinvent themselves,” Frank Laupman, Founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/55" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Omega Architects (Company)">Omega Architects</a>, speculates. “If this situation continues, shipyards that build major 100-metre plus projects could lose a lot of clientele, the cruise sector would be a logical move for them. With these yards elsewhere, clients could be inclined to opt for mid-size projects with other shipyards.”&nbsp;There is also the issue of rising fuel costs. While this isn’t usually a persuading factor in this industry, the state of things at the moment may push owners to consider less fuel-consuming yachts. Another trend that has the potential to emerge in the future is from new money earned from crypto and the US tech boom. I posed this question to Albert Hakvoort of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/40" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Hakvoort Shipyard (Company)">Royal Hakvoort</a>, who said “these clients haven’t made it to his yard, but it could happen down the line after they’ve spent time enjoying chartering and production yachts.” &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/206774/image/large-0405788646cb74c5f73f5e9358392f0f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/206774">The current demand for mid-size fully-custom superyachts is as diverse as the yachts themselves, with clients coming from all over the world. There is a unifying factor though: these clients are experienced owners with high expectations. “My clients looking to go the custom route have usually enjoyed the ownership of production yachts, such as the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> classics,” Jan Jaap Minnema. “So they know exactly what they like. I ask them to write a wish list of everything that’s important to them, this provides the foundation for the general arrangement. My role as a broker is to manage expectations, acting as an intermediary between the client, shipyard, and designer, every step of the way.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/206771/image/large-e447c2e3dfa8a45448296c422b1d9dbf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/206771">The process is lengthy, but pure customisation is the pinnacle of luxury; the bar doesn’t go any higher than taking a client’s perfection from a wish list to delivery. And when it comes to designing one-off bespoke superyachts there aren’t many designers with such a heritage as the Dutch studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/55" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Omega Architects (Company)">Omega Architects</a>.&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/55" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Omega Architects (Company)">Omega Architects</a> has been in operation for more than 25 years and has designed over 100 yachts in that time, many of which are full-custom projects. If we reign the scope to the turn of the century, then <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/55" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Omega Architects (Company)">Omega</a> has more than 20 sub-500 GT motor yachts either delivered or under construction.

We started with these small details and built the design around his taste.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/22891/image/large-6659764749b44d025009ec8b1da1397f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/22891">“It was actually the interior that required the most attention for this project though”, Laupman confessed. The owner was very specific on certain aspects and features; for instance, he wanted the same vanity fitted that he has in his home. The vanity is large and incredibly ornate, which required <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/55" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Omega Architects (Company)">Omega</a> to design the master stateroom around this piece of furniture.Something else that was very important for this owner was to have a well-connected and open galley and dining area. “As <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8105" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abydos43.9m (144'0&quot;)Venture Yachts2021">Abydos</a> is full custom we had plenty of scope to stretch and pull the dimensions to meet the family’s needs,” Laupman explained. “The owner’s wife loves to cook and spend time preparing food for her family, so the galley plays a very important role in the experience of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8105" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abydos43.9m (144'0&quot;)Venture Yachts2021">Abydos</a>.” So much so that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/55" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Omega Architects (Company)">Omega</a> remodelled the superstructure to allow light to fall directly onto the appliances.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/206769/image/large-71309b71a1bcac840c600ab18df7b78e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/206769"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/206766/image/large-1839468fa009bf5a23e14212715c454f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/206766"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4909" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Venture Yachts (Company)">Venture Yachts</a> handled the construction of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8105" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Abydos43.9m (144'0&quot;)Venture Yachts2021">Abydos</a> and between the Turkish shipyard and the Dutch studio, a highly charismatic sub-500 GT motor yacht came to life. “The client could have easily afforded an 80-metre superyacht, but he didn’t care. He wanted a yacht which he could cruise down rivers and enter certain bays; for this, he needed a yacht under 45-metres.”&nbsp;While small details can have a seismic effect on the overall design, not all requests start small – as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/55" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Omega Architects (Company)">Omega</a> experienced when it was penning the 45.2-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7921" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Milele45.2m (148'4&quot;)Royal Hakvoort Shipyard2022">Milele</a>, which is being built at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/40" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Hakvoort Shipyard (Company)">Royal Hakvoort</a>. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7921" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Milele45.2m (148'4&quot;)Royal Hakvoort Shipyard2022">Milele</a> is a sub-500 GT motor yacht and her owner was keen to stow an arsenal of toys onboard, including a submarine.&nbsp;“Our client really didn’t want to exceed 45-metres with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7921" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Milele45.2m (148'4&quot;)Royal Hakvoort Shipyard2022">Milele</a>, so we had a lot of work to fit his wish list into a sub-500 GT package.
