“After a long journey, I am excited to finally unveil a revolution of nature on board,” said Kurt Merki Jr., head designer and CEO of Studio KMJ. “SYMBIOSIS showcases nature, by elevating onboard well-being onboard to an entirely new level.”

Last year Studio KMJ teased audiences with two key onboard highlights – the Tree of Life and the Sanctum. At the upcoming 2023 Monaco Yacht Show, more of her nature-driven features will be revealed by the team including Axel Massmann from Yacht-Green, an expert in sustainable yacht outfitting. As a strategic advisor on the project he has worked tirelessly to ensure all the design features are feasible – making the yacht more than just a concept.

Axel commented, “… with all its different green features and 10 amazing scenes, it’s not just a superyacht with a few potted plants, it’s a whole new lifestyle”.

The 3,000 GT superyacht has been envisioned with accommodation for 12 guests and 24 crew, but her general arrangement is flexible and can be curated according to an owner’s needs. She might be nature-first, but Studio MKJ has not held back on comfort. SYMBIOSIS features a helipad, a wellness suite and a full garage of tenders and toys. But the infusion of nature at every turn is something that no other ready-to-build superyacht design offers.

The unveiling is part of a multi-media campaign including fully immersive experiences and presentations from the design team in the Design & Innovation Hub on Quai des Etats-Unis.
