ART Shipyard launches 35m "compact explorer" with infinity pool

A "one-off" superyacht by Sergio Cutolo has hit the water at ART Shipyard's facilities in Tuzla, Turkey. 

Provisionally known as Bee Yacht, the 35.4-metre is modelled after expedition vessels with a full-displacement hull, sheltered decks and a build in steel and aluminium. Engineering is owed to Hydro Tec, while interiors have been styled by Dragoni Design Lab in Varese, Italy.

Accommodation is across five cabins, including a full-beam owner's cabin on the main deck. Interiors are modern and airy, with the main saloon benefitting from the design's floor-to-ceiling glazing. Renderings reveal a colour palette in white, cream and green and a mix of statement lighting fixtures and integrated LEDs.

The main saloon is arranged with sofa seating, armchairs and a formal dining setup for 10 guests. Accessible through sliding glass doors, the aft deck features an infinity pool, a 40-square-metre "multifunctional area" and steps down to a large, fixed bathing platform.

Moving up, the skylounge has been styled in autumnal shades, incorporating brown and cream furniture with mirrored tables and cool-toned wood flooring. A wine fridge, a bar, al fresco dining and sunloungers complete the list of amenities on the upper deck.

The sundeck is partially shaded by the superyacht's hardtop and has two lounge areas and a sit-up bar for five guests. A final lounge space, complete with sofas and coffee table, can be found in the bow.

Key numbers include a volume just below 300GT and a beam of 7.7 metres. Zero speed stabilisers enable greater comfort when underway and at anchor.

The project is available for sale with Ocean Independence.

This follows the reveal of a new, 40-metre expedition model presented by Brazilian shipyard Inace Superyachts. Her "imposing silhouette" is also owed to Sergio Cutolo, while leisure highlights include an owner's cabin with a vanity desk, dedicated office, television and en suite.
