Superyacht ‘YOGI’ is a very striking yacht combining design signatures found on expedition yachts, blended skilfully with dramatic lines and detail features. This is a triumph for the combined vision of the in-house design team at the Proteksan-Turquoise yard and accomplished designer Jean-Guy Verges who was also responsible for the stunning interior.

As yacht design in general matures with the owners’ desires for more features, the desire is also to feel connected to the water and fully appreciate the marine environment. Extensive hull and superstructure glazing allows scenic vistas from almost any area of the YOGI yacht. In order to optimise entertaining opportunities, ‘Yogi’ has two ‘beach-clubs’ and a side balcony to connect those on board with the sea, whilst on the sundeck the experience is enhanced by a large spa pool and a Teppanyaki bar.
The design team has incorporated many other special features including the large temperature-regulated swimming pool with a glazed skylight in the bottom to illuminate the beach club below. Adding more to this mix of facilities is a massage room and a multimedia play lounge.
