The new Kingship superyacht Kingship 156 is the latest design project coming out from the studios of the well known designer Donald Starkey and the well established Azure Naval Architects. The 47.5 metre Kingship yacht will be constructed within the 500 ton rules, making crewing of the yacht in that and other regions more manageable.

Within these constraints however, the new Kingship 156 yacht lacks nothing that a 50+ metre yacht might have, being capable of sleeping 12 in 6 suites, having generous lounges and open covered deck spaces for entertaining, all accessible from a central staircase up to and including the part shaded sun deck with a bar/dining facility being served by a food lift and open Spa Pool on the forward sunning area.

The styling of the Kingship 156 superyacht is a break from the more recent yachts the company has created, as it features a plumb bow and generous circular port lights on the forward main deck, the intention to evoke the feeling of a modern “gentleman’s yacht”.

Azure Naval Architects from the Netherlands has put maximum effort into the hull and superstructure lines plan to create the maximum interior space within the 500GT restriction. New borders have been set whilst the optimized hull form will guarantee maximum comfort at sea. Advanced structure and system design, according to the latest Class Society requirements, are fully absorbed within the Design.
