The project created in collaboration with Moran Yacht & Ship focuses on the experience on board: privacy, wellbeing, time, connection with people, nature, and the freedom to inhabit the yacht in different ways
At Nuvolari Lenard, they believe owners and their families spend longer and longer periods on board, sometimes several months at a time, so the yacht is becoming closer to a private residence than ever before, a place to live.
“Project White Arrow reflects this changing ‘sentiment’, exploring how scale, architecture and design can create an environment that feels both exceptional and deeply liveable,” said Carlo Nuvolari, co-founder of Nuvolari Lenard.
The choice of a 116-metre length is explained by the fact that it allows architecture to become more than an expression of size. It becomes an opportunity to rethink how a private yacht can be experienced, inhabited, and ultimately made personal.
“A yacht of this scale gives you an extraordinary opportunity, but also a responsibility: to create something that feels coherent, effortless and ultimately human,” added Carlo Nuvolari.
The White Arrow’s exterior is characterised by a strong, sculptural presence, balanced by clean lines and carefully controlled proportions. Expansive glazing creates a continuous relationship between the interior and the surrounding seascape. Powerful, almost vertical bow adds a sense of confidence to the vessel, while the superstructure shifted aft makes the profile look light and organic. And, of course, the look is completed by the studio’s signature radar mast.
Project White Arrow will offer accommodation for 14-16 guests, a helipad on the foredeck and a pool with a glass side on the main deck aft. There will also be quarters for a crew of 40. Other details of the project are currently kept under wraps, which, according to the designers, leaves room for creativity and self-expression.
“The most interesting projects are not necessarily those that arrive with every answer already defined. They are the ones that establish a strong vision and leave the right space for the owner to make it their own,” said Dan Lenard.
