196' Custom Motor Yachts

About 60M PERENNIAL Yacht - By TCY Design

You may well ask, why is this motor yacht designed the way it is...

With this project the Tony Castro Design Team took a step back from all the hype in the industry media and had a look at it purely from a client/user focuses point of view.

We are all currently experiencing a changing landscape, in business, politics, financially, but also in our own industry as well. It seems there is a lot of pressure to make statements with the latest green tech, the latest never before seen feature, or claim the most out there unique designs both inside and outside..!

With so much "noise" around, we believe the best play is a softer more subtle approach. A project to outlast the latest fashion trends in floating architecture, a yacht he/she does not have to sell one year after launching her, and focus instead in delivering to a yacht owner an experience away from the noise, and the chance to spend time in yacht designed to suit those that use her, prioritizing those inside looking out, not the shipyards or the Brokers or the latest media frenzy. This Design attitude delivers a different and better king of Yacht.

So, at its core, PROJECT PERENNIAL is just that, timeless, elegant escapism that will be as graceful now, as it will be many years from now. 

The exterior has been crafted with soft flowing lines that hug her large volume. With the exterior spaces being designed with a social family friendly approach, with the aft terrace being the most prevalent example.

The large asymmetric pool is flanked on two sides by soft sofas, and a breakfast bar area perfectly suited to morning or evening use. This area is watched over by the raised pavilion set up for dining, lounging or a sundowner cocktail.

With the flick of a switch and the additional corner posts, the crew can cover the whole terrace with an expansive slatted pergola that pockets in the tween deck and slides out to provide Tuscan style sun shade to the full terrace.

On the lower deck below the terrace and pavilion houses the beach club, aft boarding, and water access, fold down platforms for water sport activities or waterside bathing. 

Up on the fore deck we have the option of a flat deck for helicopter boarding, or the forward spa pool and encircled fire pit, perfect for seeing the night in, around the fire, and a dip in the water under the stars. 

More conventional aft formal dining is found on the bridge deck aft, behind the upper saloon. Unusually the deck above is offered to the owner as a full owners deck, up away from the crew activities, without being overlooked by anyone nor affected by the day to day running of the yacht. The interior of which is complete with his & hers ensuites, a panoramic view from the primary cabin, and private veranda. Aft is a dedicated owners office/lounge aft with access to the aft deck and sun deck above. Privacy, when wanted, and comfort a priority.

The remaining interior of the large volume yacht is well thought out, housing a gym and spa area on the main deck, two forward VIP cabins with balcony access, a large family cabin with pullman berths.

 further sea cabins on the lower deck with direct access to the beach club, and lower deck serviced cinema. Giving a guest accommodation of between 12 and 16 depending on pullmans et cetera and a crew of up to 16 plus captain,

Large tenders are very much part of the experience we believe the owners like to have. There is a large tender bay for a 9 meter limo tender and 7 meter rib.

The machinery room space has been calculated around the latest hybrid set up, should that be one of the options the owner will choose. 

The project name Perennial, comes from a combination of the Latin word for "timeless" or a group of "long lasting flowers". Capturing the yachts elegance, timeless design and a sense of fit-for-purpose.

Individual preferences and choices can be accommodated, of course, and we would be happy to help the owners achieve their wishes.

Interior Moods

The interior design style of PERENNIAL is yet to be designed beyond 2D plan level, leaving room for the future owner to mould her into their own dream interior. We believe a yacht is the most personal project for an owner, and this is most reflected with the interior. 

The images seen here, are made to create the feel of the interior in the general arrangement drawings. And to convey the mood that was in mind when drawing on the yacht. All of which is subject to development with the owner or interior partner.
