The overall exterior design of the SuperYacht Orchid Project is the most impressive of all. This six deck luxury motor yacht features beautifully consistent and fluid lines making her stand out wherever she goes.

This design deviates from the regular standards or cliché and breaks the classic concept of building by decks, creating a homogeneous stern to bow passage without any interruption; the idea of an open walk around with an easy alternate of wide and long steps, moving from one deck to the other above while walking aft to bow, is really unique in the modern yacht design. Decks are blended and reproduced one on top of each other following the inboard walk-around, creating a highly functional layout and a breathtaking exterior profile.

There is a large elliptical pool on the main deck of the magnificent new Orchid Yacht Project, as well as bright and spacious main salon and dining room. Another guest boarding is through a folding starboard side balcony located at the lower deck where the large theater media room is provided.

Watertight door gives access to the large tender garage, through the engine room of the Project ORCHID, featuring large lift up doors on either side. The space planning provides total separation between crew and guests, even separated elevators for the guests and crew from the lower deck to the bridge deck.

SuperYacht ORCHID comes fully equipped with a large selection of amenities, such as a red and white wine storage and of course a gymnasium and a spa.

A touch-and-go helipad the last great feature of this luxury MegaYacht ORCHID, having the luxury to offer a fly bridge as well, despite all the overall proportions. Almost hidden around the mast, the sixth deck is just an amazing addition to enjoy the scenario.
