Experience Openness at Sea: Nauta Design's New Wave in Luxury Yachting

The titans of marine innovation at Nauta Design in Italy have ushered in a new era of seafaring elegance with their 75.1-meter superyacht concept: Project Velor. The streamlined four-deck structure, developed in collaboration with naval architect Francesco Rogantin of Studio Names, manages to encapsulate the comfort and functionality of a five-deck layout owing to its ingeniously utilised space.

Project Velor is a resplendent synthesis of clean horizontal lines, balanced organic and geometric forms – the epitome of Nauta’s signature aesthetic. Prioritising functionality with a contemporary exterior profile, the project is a testament to future-proof yachting, centered on flexibility, liveability, and tasteful elegance.

Project Velor seeks to foster a strong connection with the sea. Its design philosophy emphasizes openness and flow between interior and exterior spaces, and this is realised in features like expansive decks, transparent platforms, and tiered architectural staircases which foster uninterrupted vistas.

Particularly impressive is the open-air beach club, or ‘water patio’- a space designed for versatility with fold-out platforms and retractable glass doors. This area is transformed into a year-round lounge that flows seamlessly into a spa and wellness zone, making it perfect for any season. The ship also offers a sundae deck equipped for relaxation and recreation, featuring a children’s nest, a pool, and designated areas for sunbathing or stargazing.

With a beam of 13 meters and a draft of 3.5 meters, Project Velor gets its immense power from a diesel-electric propulsion system comprising four generators. Clearly, this superyacht is not only paving the way for future sailing experiences but is also setting a high standard for upcoming creations in the superyacht industry.
