Ugly, but spacious superyacht

Go-anywhere and take everything yacht planned

Russian billionaires are starting to dominate the world of superyachts, so it is no surprise that European yachting circles are buzzing about the new yacht planned by Russian-based Nakhimov Yachts.


The vessel, code named Penumbra, is being designed by Vripack and construction will be at an as-yet-unnamed European yard.


Built on a wavepiercer hull, most often seen in fast car ferries, Penumbra will be 158 feet (48 metres) long with a beam of 46 feet (14 metres).


The steel hulls allow 2580 square feet (240 square metres) of space for the storage of a range of water toys and 2670 square feet (248 square metres) of interior room.


The plans call for two guest cabins between the wheelhouse and the saloon and a full-width owners cabin. Crew quarters are located in the two outboard hulls.


A helicopter pad can be found behind the wheelhouse and a sky-deck observation platform is located forward on the upper deck.


Nakhimov has previously had yachts built by Heesen Yachts and Royal Huisman.
