“There are 360 degrees, so why stick to one?” – Zaha Hadid.
Only the undisputed queen of architecture could phrase it so eloquently, but it’s a sentiment that rings true in yachting, too. A superyacht can be a means of escape, and never more so than now as we navigate life amid Covid-19. But it’s not solely a place to hide away and isolate. It offers seclusion and refuge, yes, but more importantly it delivers an ever-growing connection with the great outdoors and an uninterrupted view onto the world.
When outfitting a superyacht,
there is little real distinction between indoors and outdoors.
