The Neptune judges had many reasons for awarding the luxury yacht Lionheart´s interior layout. One of them was a brilliant conversion of traditionally small deckhouses into comfortable lounging and observation spaces. Taking the lower deck salon and dining area into account, the interior provides three distinct social spaces in a relatively small volume.

Highly-appreciated was the way the aft deckhouse provides an on-deck extension to the master suite while offering double entrance to this area. It means there is no need for the owner to walk some distance forward and then aft to enter his suite.

Moreover, within the confines of a well-known narrow J-Class hull, the Hoek Design created two agreeable and basically equally sized twin guest staterooms in addition to the master and a smaller bunk guest cabin.
