Motor yacht STEALTH is a Ken Freivokh Design (KFD) studio masterpiece. The 112m metre Stealthy superyacht is a leap in the evolution of yacht design with her bold, dramatic, powerful and unique forms – with her autonomous character and personality – all symbols of the increasingly successful KFD office.

‘Ken Freivokh said that ‘the sky, the sea and the technology are part of the pallet of materials’ for him as a yacht designer.’
Eliel Saarinen once said “Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context – a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan. Ken Freivokh said that ‘the sky, the sea and the technology are part of the pallet of materials’ for him as a yacht designer.
However large luxury yacht design is becoming increasingly complex and the design of project yacht Stealth is certainly no exception. New technologies are introducing new design potentials and new challenges. Private yachts are becoming increasingly larger and increasingly more sophisticated.

Clients and yacht owners are also increasingly understanding the essentials elements of space and form. They are also requiring refined interaction with their yachts, with outside environments and with the function of their interiors. At a time when there has been a marked increase in information, technology, sophistication and the size of luxury yachts, yacht owners are demanding more. Motor yacht STEALTH is very much a large, modern, complex and technically advanced superyacht.
‘From a teaspoon to a skyscraper, basic design principles are always the same…It’s about analysing the requirements of something and then processing the component parts and their relationship to other parts.’
Ken Freivokh’s answer to this dilemma is masterful: ‘From a teaspoon to a skyscraper, basic design principles are always the same…It’s about analysing the requirements of something and then processing the component parts and their relationship to other parts.’ His M/Y Stealth design pulls together increasing complexities in yacht design and creates a with a clear and striking character, a well defined concept and intention.
Very little information has been made public about Freivokh’s 112 m motor yacht Stealth and its stealth is sure to intrigue many until the yacht is finally built and launched. CharterWorld news will keep you informed and bring you further information about KFD projects and yachts as soon as they come to hand.

Ken Freivokh is head at Ken Freivokh’s Design (KFD), a luxury yacht design office which has become synonymous with large and ground breaking designs.
Ken Freivokh’s design portfolio includes production yachts but he is perhaps best known for his award winning high specification custom luxury yachts – like the famous Maltese Falcon 88 meter sailing yacht, as well as more recent large sailing projects like Dream Symphony – the largest sailing yacht in the world now being built – and M/Y Stealth amongst many others.
