Rock.It Yacht Review

The story of superyacht Rock.It began with an owner inspired by a charter on board another Feadship yacht. The brief to create a yacht that is ‘fast from the outside and cosy on the inside’ has delivered a bespoke 60.35m (197’) superyacht aligned with Feadship’s brand values of custom building, craftsmanship and innovation.

A future classic exterior

The elegantly sculpted exterior will doubtless become a future classic and offers three superior deck levels and a distinctive profile that emphasises the beautiful, elongated bow.

The deck furnishings are stunning and a testament to the design skill of Sinot Yacht Design who also penned the interior designs. The thoughtful layout features a range of refined furnishings designed for comfort but stylishly embellished with rich wood finishes and nautical-inspired fabrics.

The sundeck has been developed without bulwarks, opening up the space all the way from the forward jacuzzi through to the aft lounge area. There are forward and aft-facing bars, separated by a service area and an innovative skylight in the canopy which dims automatically depending on the strength of the sun. The circular forward jacuzzi is surrounded by glass balustrades which preserves the 360-degree views which can be enjoyed while relaxing in or around the bubbling spa.

The stainless steel, wood and glass railings surrounding the upper deck stand out as an example of the attention to detail demonstrated by Feadship's artisan craftsmen. The outdoor aft deck flows seamlessly into the sky lounge to create a vast entertainment space featuring a dining table and furniture that can be arranged to suit any occasion.

The inside story

The original owner wanted to create an old-school, classic interior with a warm, friendly and homely environment. Exploring the yacht reveals a series of inviting sociable areas across the upper and main deck, a spectacular central lobby and staircase finished in mahogany with sycamore inlay and state-of-the-art guest and crew facilities, notably the huge galley.

The main salon boasts three distinct zones, a circular wine bar as you enter from the aft deck, a vast formal lounge area and a dining room separate from the lounge by built-in cabinetry housing a retractable TV. Rich gloss wood finishes frame the exterior views and stunning inlaid custom wood dining and coffee tables designed by Frank Pollaro create perfect settings for leisurely dinners, drinks or a movie night.

The grand staterooms are across the main and lower deck with the private owner’s suite dominating the forward position on the main deck and the further four guest suites arranged amidships on the lower deck. Dark wood and mirrored panels, large windows and warm neutral fabrics create havens for all guests on board and the marble-finished ensuite bathrooms are simply stunning. The owner’s suite has "his and hers" bathrooms, with hers including a freestanding bathtub.

The owner recognises the importance of a contented crew and the design of the working facilities and crew accommodation include a high-quality captain’s suite, top-of-the-range galley and generous crew mess and cabins. The bridge and engine room are fitted with the latest technology guaranteed to deliver comfortable cruising and the garage is full to the brim with exciting water toys. Enjoy the finer details onboard such as Frette linens, Lalique crystal glassware, Hermès tableware and Molton Brown bath products.

Fun at sea

With so much to keep guests in the lap of luxury on board, the opportunity to experience everything a superyacht can offer in the ocean, should not be missed. The beach platform can host endless water’s edge fun and games and the crew are fully trained to assist with the water toys which include the latest jet skis, sea bobs, wakeboards, SUPs, a floating island for 8 people and an assortment of fishing and snorkelling equipment.

Superyacht Rock.It represents the true meaning of a custom yacht while maintaining a family feel. She is available for charter seasonally on both sides of the Atlantic.
