Project 9T is the renowned designer's vision of what modern expedition vessels should look like

Renowned Italian designer Horacio Bozzo is confident that his latest creation, Project 9T, is about to set new standards in explorer boat construction 

One should note that the 9T is not the first expedition project by Horacio Bozzo Design. There was also a successful Deep Blue 141 series, created for Cantiere delle Marche shipyard. 

However, this time Horacio Bozzo is not just offering another concept. As the designer himself puts it, the 9Т will be a game-changer in the world of explorer yachts. With all their functional capabilities and higher efficiency, these boats can also look elegant and ensure the guests can enjoy the entire range of conveniences that luxury superyachts can offer.

Moreover, Bozzo has not only thought of a variety of layouts, but offers Project 9T with two different bow configurations, allowing for different internal volume distribution. Thanks to this opportunity, the 9T ensures the owner gets a personalised experience, while retaining high operation capabilities necessary for round-the-world expeditions.

The yacht offers comfortable conditions for up to 12 guests and a crew of 28. There is a private owner’s deck with a jacuzzi. The rest of the guest cabins are located on the main deck and feature vast panoramic windows. 

There is a spacious pool aft with a beach club and a partially enclosed lounge. The yacht also offers an indoor-outdoor gym. 

Those fond of active entertainment will certainly approve of a wide range of water toys, while the garage can also accommodate tedners up to 11 m long. 

One of the key highlights of the project is the observation deck, or “crow’s nest”, integrated into the radar mast and providing 360-degree views. 

However, the designer has not revealed the future speed and range of the 9Т yet.
