Motor yacht PROJECT JADE features a modern athletic appearance from Omega Architects with shrewd design features such as the reverse sheer towards the bow for improved visibility from the bridge. Owners and guests have a large beach club and terrace for lounging close to the water, and a sunbed above on the main deck aft to relax with sweeping views of the surroundings.

The 50-metre fast-cruising class is the first of its kind under 500 GT to comply with IMO Tier III regulations: Smart naval architecture and the advanced twin MTU 16V 4000 M65L (IMO Tier III) engines allow M/Y PROJECT JADE to reach a top speed over 23 knots and travel a distance of 3,100 nautical miles at 11 knots, providing Owners and guests with versatile cruising options. By streamlining the underwater body, raising the propellers by creating propeller tunnels and keeping the transom depth to a minimum, the hull design has efficiency gains of 12 per cent.
