The Luminea's superstructure features vast expanses of glazing

Abundance of vertical lines, vast expanses of superstructure glazing and wooden finishes make the vessel look like a villa built on land. And that is exactly the effect the creators of the project wanted, as they describe it as “architecture on the water”

With an elongated hull and a plumb bow, the Luminea’s exterior conveys “strength without aggression”. The black vertical lines on her silver sides are not just an embellishment: they conceal such functional elements as hawse holes and mooring lines in order to keep the yacht's exterior lines clean and continuous.

Instead of a traditional sleek superstructure profile typical of most boats, we can see three quite “earthy” englazed floors and wooden finishes, which evokes immediate associations with summer terraces. Their stepped arrangement gives the entire architecture a clear, energetic rhythm, while the transparency of the external “walls” adds airiness to the vessel, ensuring unobstructed sea views and blurring the boundaries between internal and external spaces. 

“The spirit of the yacht is harmony. Every plane, every interval, every proportion exists in conversation with the next,” commented Concepthull creative team. However, the layout is said to be still in progress and is likely to undergo some changes. What matters most at this stage is to find the right balance between performance and comfort.

The Luminea will be powered by twin Caterpillar engines and is likely to offer an option of a hybrid propulsion system for better efficiency and sustainability. Her provisional cruising speed is 14 knots, the top one is 18 knots, and the range is 4800 nautical miles. 

With an internal volume of 720 GT, the yacht can accommodate 12 guests across six cabins, including the full-beam owner’s suite, and a crew of 11-12 people.
