Wider Superyacht Hub, in collaboration with Nauta Design, is charting a course toward the future of superyacht design and innovation with its latest project, the MOONFLOWER 72. Announced in May 2022, with the keel laid in August of the same year, this captivating vessel is steadily taking shape at Wider's Porto Marghera facility in Venice.
The MOONFLOWER 72 captures the essence of Nauta Design’s philosophy, characterized by a holistic and balanced approach to style, comfort, and functionality. Renderings of this marvel, co-designed by Mario Pedol, reveal a superyacht that embodies the perfect blend of power and elegance, making a definitive statement on the waters.
This 72-meter behemoth boasts a crisp, clean silhouette that, at first glance, emanates an almost severe aesthetic – a streamlined knife blade cutting through the waves. Yet, upon closer inspection, the vessel reveals a fusion of aggressive longitudinal lines with organic contours and balanced volumes, creating an ageless elegance that promises to captivate the yacht aficionado's eye for years to come.
The exterior design, an imposing steel and aluminum structure, cleverly integrates the latest generation of Wider's serial hybrid propulsion system. The beauty of the MOONFLOWER 72 doesn't just lie in its sleek design but also in its commitment to maintain a harmonious relationship with nature and the marine environment.
One standout feature is the patented 'The Island™,' a unique beach club concept by Nauta Design. This ingenious arrangement includes several fold-down platforms that expand the swim platform and beach club to an impressive 117 sqm. This innovation seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor areas, allowing guests to enjoy an unparalleled connection with the sea.
The MOONFLOWER 72 is set to redefine the standards of luxury superyachts, anchoring its design firmly in the demands of buildability and functionality. Expected to set sail in 2025, the vessel showcases how Wider and Nauta Design continue to push the boundaries of what's possible in superyacht design and construction.
