Dutch shipyard Oceanco and Italian design studio Mario Biferali Yacht Design have joined forces on a 150-metre concept named Antos. This ambitious project envisions transforming a 10,630GT container ship into a private superyacht, embodying the essence of 'post-industrial yacht architecture'. 'Named after the ancient Greek word for ‘flower’, Antos symbolizes a new chapter for this repurposed vessel; a vibrant rebirth that elegantly navigates the seas,' elucidated Mario Biferali. 'Antos represents a visionary approach that mirrors the evolving desires of a growing number of yacht owners: a vessel that can seamlessly integrate private life, family time, remote work, philanthropy, and adventure.'
The design is distinguished by its expansive main deck and a 'tower' structure, with the latter exclusively dedicated to the owner, apart from the bridge deck. The owner's multi-level apartment spans three decks, providing panoramic 360-degree views and a private sundeck. The yacht also features 'super-VIP suites', while families with young children will appreciate the play area, media room, and interconnected kids' and nanny cabins. The foredeck is equipped with a helideck, a sports court, a raised swimming pool, a double sit-up bar, and multiple lounging areas. Cabins on the lower deck are accessible via the foredeck court, with high bulwarks installed for enhanced privacy. Other notable amenities include a full-beam gym, a cinema and media room, and a comprehensive wellness area with sauna, Hammam, beauty salon, and treatment room.
Many of the living spaces can be reconfigured for scientific research, remote working, or philanthropic endeavors. The yacht will be staffed by a crew of 54, excluding the captain whose cabin is situated on the bridge deck.
