Escalade: A Futuristic Trimonoran Motor Yacht

Revolutionizing Luxury on the Water

Escalade is not your typical yacht. Designed by Baran Akalin, this innovative motor yacht breaks the mold with its cutting-edge technology and aggressive style mixed with luxury design.

Escalade is the world's first motor yacht to utilize the Trimonoran hull, a revolutionary design that has been over 20 years in the making. This unique hull, developed by Dutch company Anwigema, offers numerous advantages such as fuel savings, high stability, and comfortable sailing. The Trimonoran hull also provides a larger deck and hull space, allowing for more spacious interiors compared to standard yachts of the same length. Additionally, the hull's design reduces water resistance and increases speed by up to 30%, delivering an exhilarating experience on the water.

One of Escalade's standout features is its transom platform, which opens and descends to the water surface, creating a beach club-like experience. The yacht also boasts a one-of-a-kind jacuzzi with a transparent bottom, offering a unique perspective of the surrounding waters. The flybridge stairs even pass underneath the jacuzzi, adding to the yacht's sleek and stylish design.

Escalade's realization technology combines the best characteristics of mono hulls, catamaran hulls, and trimaran hulls into one seamless design. This results in a safer hull without compromising comfort and space. The yacht is also equipped with hydrofoils under the hull, allowing it to glide smoothly over the water, unaffected by minor waves.

Operating Escalade is a breeze thanks to its two touch screen consoles. The main console is located on the main deck, while a second console is situated on the flybridge. These consoles feature large touch screens with a light blue glow, adding a futuristic touch to the yacht's interior.

The concept for Escalade began in November 2019 and was completed in March 2020. The extensive research and development behind this design have resulted in a yacht that offers unparalleled luxury and performance. Escalade has been recognized for its excellence, receiving the Bronze A' Design Award in the Yacht and Marine Vessels Design category in 2020.

Escalade represents a new era in motor yacht design, pushing the boundaries of what is possible on the water. With its Trimonoran hull, high-tech features, and spunky design, this yacht is a game-changer in the industry. Its functional systems are designed for ease of use, and the touch screen interfaces provide a minimalist and intuitive experience. The spacious saloon, which includes a galley, lounge, dining, and living areas, offers a comfortable and luxurious space for relaxation and entertainment.

Experience the future of yachting with Escalade, where innovation and luxury converge to create an unforgettable journey on the water.
