Vard 1-08 Kilkea is the latest project from Shackleton Superyachts & International Shipbuilders, and is set for launch later this year. Designed for 30 days of autonomous cruising, this is a true explorer yacht with startling Bannenberg & Rowell exterior styling. Sleeping 36 guests and sporting a distinctive bow shape, the yacht will clearly take you to whichever challenging part of the ocean you choose to cruise to. She has also been certified for environmentally friendly operation, so will be equally adept at taking you to more tropical locations. A further focus of the yacht is on low fuel consumption.

A huge open deck space amidships includes a pool (there’s another inside), while the interior has been fashioned as an open-plan space that includes a golf range, a tennis court, an indoor garden, and a private Imax cinema. Other features include a submarine dock, a five-a-side football pitch, an underwater observation room, and a helideck with hangar. The details of the interior can be customised by her new owner.

The VSY 64 (above) is the third in the series from Viareggio SuperYachts, with a design constructed and developed from the experience gained from her sisterships delivered in 2009 and 2010. The construction of the hull and superstructure is already complete, with the engines and generators in place, which Edmiston says allows her new owner to benefit from an 18-month delivery time.
