Dutch yard Icon Yachts has revealed the first interior renderings of its 29.22 metre pocket superyacht Islander.
The décor was created by British designer Ken Freivokh, in his first collaboration with Icon Yachts, while naval architecture comes courtesy of Ginton.
The open-plan main saloon features extensive glazing flowing between the lounging and dining areas, as well as two L-shaped sofas and triangular coffee tables, while the oversized superyacht sundeck boasts an al fresco dining space, a full bar, barbecue grill, sun loungers and built-in seating to port and starboard. Further al fresco dining is provided on the aft deck, with seating for eight and a full-service bar.
Islander, formerly known as Icon 100, was commissioned by an experienced yachtsman who pulled out of the project after construction had begun.
Icon Yachts adds that there is still plenty of scope for a new owner to customise the yacht to their specific taste, and that delivery could be scheduled for 18 months from contract signing.
The steel hull features a 7.5 metre beam, allowing for a total interior volume of 170GT. Accommodation is four eight guests split between four cabins, including a main-deck owner’s cabin, while the crew quarters allows for a staff of up to four people.
Power comes from a diesel electric propulsion system featuring twin 365hp Scania engines for a top speed of 11 knots and a maximum cruising range of 2,200 miles at 10 knots, drawing on a total fuel capacity of 21,040 litres.
Other superyacht projects currently under development at the Dutch yard include the 75.8 metre Icon 250, which is due to hit the water next year.
The second hull in the Open Ocean 800 series of expedition catamarans has been delivered bearing the name Cake.
This 25 metre catamaran motor yacht was built from GRP by South African yard Two Oceans Marine to a design by Anton Du Toit.
As with all multihull superyachts, Cake boasts an impressive beam for her length. The broad 11 metre span creates plenty of space for her eight guests to spread out across four en-suite cabins, all of which are fitted with king-size beds.
Along with her sister ship Ultra Vires, Cake is the joint largest catamaran motor yacht to be launched in South Africa to date. Two Oceans Marine modified the layout for Cake, creating a slightly smaller saloon than Ultra Vires, but freeing up more space in the cockpit, which is fitted with a dining table, barbecue and drinks fridge.
The yard added that Cake’s owners plan to use her for kite surfing in remote superyacht destinations, and as a result, the aft deck tender garage was a key requirement. This area can be used to launch numerous superyacht water toys, including a Jet Ski, a 3.2 metre dinghy and a 5 metre main tender. Cake can also tow a 15.2 metre maxi tender when needed.
Power comes from a pair of 305hp Cummins QSB 5.9 MCD diesel engines for a maximum cruising range of 4,500 nautical miles at nine knots.
Other projects currently under development at Two Oceans Marine include the first Open Ocean 740 performance sailing catamaran, which was recently launched and named Skimmer.
