The highly innovative 65-metre motor yacht Jolly Roger concept has been developed by PS+A Palomba Serafini for the Benetti Design Innovation Project 2012, presented by the leading Italian shipyard Benetti at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show. Jolly Roger superyacht design represents the desire to rebuild a relationship with the sea, genius loci of the boats.
The decks of the Jolly Roger yacht concept are supported by a system of ‘ribs equipped’ which lighten the volume and allow the insertion of large windows, reinterpreting the element of powers typical of Benetti. A long suspension deck at the bow becomes a living and social space.
The luxury yacht Jolly Roger’s owner has an entire floor at his disposal on the top deck, a privileged position that allows him to look at the sky through a removable cover.
The inspiration came from the automotive sector: its lines reminds the one of a high-powered car. Jolly Roger superyacht design re-establishes a relationship between the dynamism and elegance of the yacht and nature.
“We started from the idea of ‘high-powered car of the sea’. Aristocratic and futuristic. An automotive dna that is in the structures, which release the decks from visual obstruction by giving back the relation with nature and the sea. As a result, large windows and a long deck that looks like a terrace overlooking the water have been created,” as stated by PS+A Palomba Serafini.
