Design by Bannenberg & Rowell
British studio Bannenberg & Rowell has focused on designing yachts with elegant lines while integrating modern functionalities. Both yachts feature a sober, timeless aesthetic, with interior volumes optimized for comfort and luminosity. Flexible interior partitions create wide perspectives and flowing spaces, favoring pleasant cruising.
Spaces designed for well-being
ABOVE and BEYOND are distinguished by their refined, functional interiors. ABOVE offers seven cabins for up to 14 guests. The owner's suite, located on a private deck, features an office area, dressing room and bathroom with 270-degree panoramic views.
Key facilities include a beach club that can be transformed into a wellness area with sauna, steam room, massage room and gym. The vast main deck features a glass-bottomed swimming pool, flooding the spaces below with natural light.
Performance-oriented design
These superyachts are powered by two Caterpillar 3512C 1500 kW engines, giving them a top speed of 16 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots. Their range is estimated at 4,500 nautical miles, enough for long non-stop crossings. For optimum comfort both at sea and at anchor, they are equipped with Naiad AtRest or Quantum Zero Speed stabilizers.
Optimized organization for the crew
Efficient onboard service has been a priority in the design of these yachts. An elevator serves the main decks, facilitating the movement of the 17 crew members. Each level has its own service areas, including a professional galley with refrigerated storage areas, and a crew living area with gym and private mess.
An immersive experience with the Crow's Nest
One of the striking features of these projects is the "Crow's Nest" mobile platform, designed by Bannenberg & Rowell. This observation post, positioned at the top of the mast, provides a 360-degree view, ideal for observing polar wildlife or enjoying exceptional panoramic views during stopovers.
An ambitious project for modern explorers
With ABOVE & BEYOND, Denison Yachting and Turquoise Yachts offer two superyachts built for adventure, combining ocean-going performance with luxurious comfort. Designed for owners in search of unique experiences, these units embody a new vision of maritime exploration. It remains to be seen whether these concepts will attract buyers ready to push back the boundaries of traditional yachting.
