Sapphire: A 43m Fast Planing Hybrid Motor Yacht

A Contemporary and Sustainable Masterpiece by 7seas Yacht Design

The Sapphire minerals styling with clean and clear proportions through geometrical elements and wide shutlines give the yacht in profile and different views not only an Avant-Garde but also contemporary stance. It was important to have the core element of the yacht in the focus. Be in the trend and open to new technologies to get interesting for younger customers as well and in combination with a timeless elegance to be matured next to the current yachts.

Sapphire, designed by 7seas Yacht Design, is a 43-meter fast planing hybrid motor yacht that combines cutting-edge technology with luxurious design. This unique yacht stands out with its sleek profile and contemporary styling, inspired by the beauty of minerals. The clean and clear proportions, along with the geometrical elements and wide shutlines, give Sapphire an avant-garde look that is sure to turn heads.

One of the standout features of Sapphire is its hybrid jet propulsion system, which not only makes it environmentally friendly during cruising but also in the harbor. This innovative system allows for a fast-paced cruising experience while minimizing the yacht's carbon footprint. The yacht's cruising speed is complemented by its impressive range, making it ideal for long journeys.

The interior of Sapphire is designed with utmost attention to detail and comfort. The centerpiece of the yacht is the centered saloon, featuring a wide lounge area and full-height windows that provide breathtaking views of the surroundings. The saloon also offers direct access to the master bedroom, which boasts two separate closet rooms and a spacious bathroom complete with a massage room and a Jacuzzi. Additionally, there are four VIP guest queen-sized bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, ensuring privacy and luxury for all guests.

Operational efficiency and versatility are key aspects of Sapphire's design. The yacht is equipped with a hybrid shaft generator that provides a quieter and less vibration-prone cruising experience, in addition to the diesel main engines. The 20m2 hard-top can be covered with solar panels, further enhancing the yacht's sustainability. The water jet propulsion system allows Sapphire to cruise in shallow waters, making it perfect for exploring destinations like the Mediterranean Sea.

The design and construction of Sapphire were carried out by the talented team at 7seas Yacht Design. With their expertise and attention to shipyard production standards, they were able to create a yacht that not only meets the demands of the future but also offers unparalleled comfort and speed. The project started in October 2018 in Milan, Italy, and was completed in February 2019.

Recognizing its exceptional design and innovative features, Sapphire was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Yacht and Marine Vessels Design category in 2019. This prestigious accolade is a testament to the yacht's outstanding creativity, technical excellence, and contribution to improving the quality of life.

With its contemporary styling, sustainable features, and luxurious amenities, Sapphire is a true masterpiece that sets new standards in the world of yacht design. It is a testament to the ingenuity and vision of 7seas Yacht Design, and a testament to the possibilities of combining art, technology, and sustainability in the pursuit of a better lifestyle.
