Thor is a 100m exploration superyacht from the English studio Gresham Yacht Design. This concept has been thought from the inside out and offers a very futuristic design, worthy of a real spaceship. The design office uses many rounded shapes and plays with light and transparency, as evidenced by the incredible main saloon with its rounded sofa and floating glass floor with exposed structural beams, or the huge side rosettes that let the light flood into the saloon.
This double-height space is both spacious and very bright with a raised sea view and eye-catching central lighting. This incredible elevated living area will allow the owner and his guests to enjoy a relaxing stay at sea.
In the centre of this space is a seating area recessed into the floor, which gives the impression of floating between the two decks. To bring warmth to this area, many futuristic lighting fixtures illuminate the room.
For privacy, the glass floor can be turned opaque at the touch of a switch. The upper main saloon is then separated from the lower level, which offers all the comfort expected of such a yacht: numerous sofas, including a central lounge area, and dining tables, as well as a bar.
Direct access to the beach club is via an incredible circular corridor equipped on each side with a large aquarium. This area is embellished with side balconies and a magnificent cylindrical aquarium that runs the entire height of the room. The beach club is set above the waterline and offers a breathtaking view of the outside environment from the folding balconies. This space benefits from the full width of the boat - 18 m - as does the unique shed, which is accessed through a large sliding glass door.
Here we are not talking about a tender garage, but about a hangar in view of the vastness of the space, the design of which is very futuristic. Thor will be able to accommodate all the owner's tenders and toys, including a 12.5m custom tender, a speedboat with foils, a submarine, kitesurfing and windsurfing equipment, diving equipment, surfboards and jet skis. A huge hydraulic crane will allow all this leisure equipment to be easily launched.
On the back, Thor is equipped with a helicopter runway and a hangar to store the aircraft. So the owner and his guests can easily leave the boat to explore the surroundings, even in the most remote areas.
As far as accommodation is concerned, Thor offers numerous cabins, including the owner's cabin located forward of the upper deck which includes two bathrooms, an office and a dressing room. The guest suites are located on the lower deck. With its Ice Class hull and SOLAS certification, Thor will be able to carry up to 36 passengers anywhere in the world.
