Discover the Intriguing Innovation of Crow's Nest in the New Superyacht Concepts by Turquoise Yachts and Bannenberg & Rowell

Imagine embarking on an opulent adventure aboard a majestic superyacht, equipped with custom amenities and unconventional, yet innovative, design features. That’s precisely the sort of marine escapade facilitated by Turquoise Yachts’ recently unveiled series of superyacht concepts. Teaming up with the renowned British design house, Bannenberg & Rowell, Turquoise Yachts have turned traditional yacht design on its head with their 65m and 80m concepts, named Above + Beyond.

Sailing enthusiasts take note - these exceptional designs take an extraordinary design leap with the introduction of a crow’s nest. Upon hearing ‘crow’s nest’, one might imagine an elevated lookout post on traditional sailing vessels. However, these ingenious designers have taken it beyond conventional thought by revamping the crow’s nest into a custom platform-cum-elevator, climbing to the top of the mast. With such a feature, one could enjoy an unparalleled view at the Monaco Grand Prix or when cruising the polar regions.
