Kingship`s Newest Luxury Yacht Design ESSENCE: Details Revealed at the Monaco Yacht Show

Kingship in collaboration with designer Horacio Bozzo of Axis Group Yacht Design is set to lure buyers in the luxury yacht market with M/Y Essence. Innovative architecture features a superstructure that more closely resembles a chic Palm Springs estate than a conventional yacht. Sprawling deck spaces provide nearly as much outdoor as indoor living space. She is the first yacht of her size to have a completely private Owner’s deck and a 180-degree forward-facing panoramic view.

The full-beam owner’s suite is located on the dedicated upper deck of the 42.5m superyacht and allows owners to enjoy complete privacy on the independent terrace with shaded seating and a totally exclusive sunbathing area, aft al-fresco dining veranda and magnificent views from a huge sliding roof while lying in bed.

Innovative solutions include a split main deck layout where the bridge is located. The bridge is also connected to the galley and crew quarter directly, which allows the crew to deliver quality services to owners and guests. On the foredeck, the tender and its launching systems are housed underneath the huge sun lounges.

ESSENCE has a full displacement hull powered by twin Caterpillar C32 engines with a cruising speed of 15 knots and trans-pacific range. The luxury yacht accommodates owners, eight guests and eight crewmembers. ESSENCE will be built in compliance with the RINA Green Plus notation and MCA to facilitate potential charter.
