China’s Kingship Marine has just signed a new build superyacht project called Artic Whale. The 75m motor yacht Arctic Whale features exterior and interior design by French designer Eva Cadio. The expedition yacht Arctic Whale was designed with long range world cruising in mind, to be built with an ice-class hull and will be fully MCA LY2 compliant.
Superyacht Arctic Whale by Kingship will be able to sleep 12 guests in six spacious cabins, all with ensuite facilities and all well-appointed, featuring the latest in audio visual entertainment systems.
Some of M/Y Artic Whale’s special features include a ‘touch and go’ or a fully functional heli-pad as well as a swimming pool, two Spa Pools. Her interior can be fitted out to suit the owner’s own personal taste. The mechanical systems and engine package can also be specified by the owner.
The renowned designer Eva Cadio & Co who provided Arctic Whales exterior and interior design is known for her work on superyachts such as the 68m motor yacht Cedar Sea, 33m yacht Emmerson, 37m explorer yacht Jasmin, 39m yacht MuMu and the 37m M/Y Calaf.
Eva explains the main concept of the Artic Whale superyacht: “The main concept for Arctic Whale has been to offer the ultimate yacht for world travel with a unique “Art de Vivre” – a form that fits function and lifestyle and an exterior design that brings it all together. The lines of Arctic Whale are designed to show strength, harmony and elegance.”
“It is a ground breaking project,” says the project’s YPI broker, Mike Rich. “To have one of the top shipbuilders in Asia working with one of Europe’s best designers is an important plus and one of the reasons we at YPI were keen to act as the exclusive worldwide representatives.”
“With Arctic Whale you get all the great flair and intelligence of French design, the competence and quality of a tried and tested shipyard, European prepared build specifications and all at the exceptionally competitive pricing that only China can now offer. Whether you want to amble around St Tropez, show off in St Barths or go crashing through the ice in Antarctica, Arctic Whale is the first of a new era of yacht building and we at YPI are very proud to be there from the start.”
Roger Liang, the founding owner and Managing Director of Kingship states: “This is one of the biggest projects Kingship has taken on. We are very confident that working with the talent of Eva and the experience of YPI, and with top quality European project management, Arctic Whale will set the standard and raise the bar for some of our other projects still to come.”
