The 86m PA168 is a new super yacht concept based on the reputable and highly regarded Oceanco hull platform, with an exterior design of the Milan-based Hot Lab studio.
Despite the yacht’s generous dimensions, her lines have been designed to express a visual sense of lightness, which is also underlined by darkened glazing clearly defining each deck level and giving a lengthening effect rather than heightening the profile.
A beach area has been developed around a swimming pool on the main deck with a cascade waterfall that spills over the end wall. The bulkhead that constitutes this wall is covered with teak panelling that flows into symmetrical staircases leading down to the swim platform.
The upper deck and owner’s deck are linked externally by bold arches that add an imposing graphic effect, while also tricking the eye into believing that two deck levels are in fact one and providing the 200sqm owner’s apartment with abundant natural light. A forward terrace leading off the owner’s deck can serve as an open-air gym. The 320sqm private sundeck features a whirlpool, sun loungers and two large skylights in the deck that illuminate the owner’s suite below.
The yacht will be powered by twin MTU 20V 4000 main engines. She is expected to achieve a top speed of 20 knots with a range of 5,500 nm at a cruising speed of 15 knots.
