Two hulls to control seasickness
The Martini 7.0 is a catamaran concept with two hulls that automatically adapt to sea movements to keep the central superstructure stable. This electric marine suspension system is a seaworthy boat developed by the American company Servo Yachts. The design of the boat is made in collaboration with the famous firm Shuttleworth Design.
The superstructure of the Martini 7.0 has been widened to maximize the interior volume and cover the entire width of the vessel. The two hulls of the 165-foot catamaran are connected by four articulated mechanisms positioned at each corner of the superstructure that houses the main living areas.
The patented suspension technology allows up to 12 feet of vertical travel for each hull. This allows the Martini 7.0 to sail quickly through swells with virtually no movement impacting the suspended center superstructure, where the crew and guests are located.
Unlike previous aluminum prototypes in the Martini series, the Martini 7.0's superstructure was designed for carbon fiber construction with a foam core.
A development spread over 4 bridges
The luxurious interior, images of which are expected to be unveiled soon, can accommodate 10 guests and 11 crew members across four levels. The main systems, engines, fuel and mooring are housed in the hulls, to free up more space in the suspended central pod. The layout is designed to optimize passenger privacy and comfort, with more work on passenger flow, so that the crew can operate the boat and move independently between decks, without entering the guest spaces.
The walkways around the enclosed flybridge cockpit provide good visibility for the crew for docking and maneuvering. Aft of the helm station is an open-air gym and a large sunbathing area.
The 427-square-meter upper deck houses the main entertainment area with crew service, a bar, a dining room and two lounges. Sliding doors on the bow lead to a spa surrounded by sunbeds. On the aft deck, up to 16 people can dine alfresco and relax in two large sitting areas with sea views.
The owner's suite spans the entire forward section of the main deck and includes a private office, gym and sea views through the large wrap-around glass at the front. At the rear, there are 4 en-suite guest cabins, two of which open onto the 195-square-meter aft deck with a pool, loungers and a bar.
The lower deck houses the crew quarters, galley, storage, workshop, dive room and a large garage with a range of water sports equipment including two jet skis and a 6.5m tender. When the central superstructure is lowered, the garage becomes a dock to accommodate the tender directly without the need for winches. The swim platform can be lowered into the water for easy access to the sea.
