The Sparta superyacht features a fast displacement hull

Both the exterior styling and interior layouts and finishes for the custom project named Sparta are owed to British Winch Design studio

The yacht can boast a sporty, somewhat aggressive exterior and a fancy colour scheme: the reverse bow and lancet-shaped glazing make the massive silhouette look expressive, while the snow-white hull contrasts beautifully with the stripes of grey metallic and “Venetian” red.

The open decks offer several lounge areas. Among them there is a flybridge with a hexagonal jacuzzi and a bar, a seating group and sunpads at the bow, and a beach club aft with an impressive 6.4-metre pool featuring a see-through side. The swim platform is equipped with a telescopic ladder for comfortable access to the water.

The tender garage with gullwing doors is located at the bow. In addition to an impressive range of water toys, it is home to a custom-made Tenderworks limo tender, echoing the exterior lines of the mothership. 

The interior of the yacht with an internal volume of 1200 GT is based on the concept of three elements with each deck representing one of them: the lower deck is water, the main is earth, and the upper one is air. One can move between them in a glass elevator or use the impressively illuminated oak staircase designed by Alex Hull.

The owner’s suites (and there are two of them) are located on the bridgedeck. The element of air is represented in the 56-metre cabin with a sky-blue colour palette, mother-of-pearl inlays and a carpet by Hong Kong-based Tai Ping. The other suite of 62 sq.m stands out for star map above the bed, which, according to Winch Design, encourages both the parents and the kids to “run their fingers over the cosmos”.  The owner’s private terrace is perfect for admiring the stars, having al fresco dinners and watching movies – there is a retractable screen on the foredeck.

The VIP cabins on the main deck feature tramazite installations above the beds, too, and are meant “recall sunken sapphires or a watery moon”. There is a moveable partition for comfortable family accommodation here, which allows one to make it a single space in the daytime and two separate bedrooms at night. The Sparta’s passenger capacity is 12 guests and a crew of 14. 

The centre of the main deck is the luxurious large saloon featuring beige shades with accents of bronze and gold. Among the natural materials representing the earth element there is chairs upholstery of palm leaf, a coffee table made of stained oak with a leaf-shaped green marble top and a leather finish.

The lower deck, which represents the water element, is dedicated to wellness and features a Japanese style. The spa area of 65 sq.m offers a steam bath, a sauna, an elliptical whirlpool and a beauty parlour. 

Twin MTU 12V 4000 M65R engines of по 1492 kW each can deliver up to 16 knots. The provisional range is 4500 nautical miles, while Naiad Dynamics stabilisers promise to make the navigation comfortable in any weather conditions.
