The German boatbuilding firm Abeking & Rasmussen has launched a futuristic and iconic 80-meter superyacht, Excellence.
With a startling brief from the owner that their latest creation must be 'extraordinary' as well as offering a 'seamless feeling of connection and openness' to the outside world - the designers have conjured up an impressive and striking creation which does not disappoint.
The boatbuilders teamed up with British studio Winch Design to create a superstructure which is so unique that she promises, the innovative creators say, 'to be unlike anything that has come before.'
Her striking and angular reverse bow offers a silhouette that compares with a spaceship and will assertively cut through ocean waters.
The exterior lines help to draw the eye to the bridge and the owner's decks, which have been surrounded by a curved floor to ceiling mirror glass on all sides. The largest panel of these is a staggering six meters in length.
The statement glass also reaches 180° around the master suite, so the sleeping guests can awake in the morning fully immersed in their peaceful surroundings.
