VL-56 UNDER DEVELOPMENT FOR DUBAI CLIENT

Posted: 02.8.2010

Setzer Yacht Architects has announced the premier of the "VL-56," another futuristic design from its Vision Line of projects. This new design, a 56-meter superyacht named Naranja, debuts as a refined and streamlined expression of the studio's finest work, and is under development for a Dubai-based client.

 Both the hull and its superstructure has been sculpted as a blend of long lines and crisp edges resulting in what the designer hopes will be received above all else as an elegant and proper superyacht.The result is a vessel of five deck levels plus large, below-waterline holds and systems spaces. With a beam of 10.6M and a draft of 2.7M, the design is meant for fast cruising in style and comfort carrying plenty of fuel and water stores as well as including generous cabins for owners and guests on multiple levels.

The design is to be powered by a high performance diesel drive system and capable of cruising speeds from 12 to 16 knots, and having a maximum of speed of 18 knots. A large infinity pool deck has been included aft with large exterior entertaining areas just forward. A cabana has been located on the transom with dockage doors deploying aft  and to starboard adding to vessel conveniences. Duel tender garages have be integrated into the raised bow deck bulwarks with a helicopter deck above.

The unique styling of the design revolves around there being four large guest staterooms forward, just below the main deck, each having its own private balcony to the sea. A master suite is included on the upper two decks in a split level fashion with the bedroom forward and a private owner's sitting room and sun deck complete with hot tub aft of that.

The vessel also features a gym, spa, two galley areas, and multiple sunning areas. There are five large guest cabins, below decks fully serviced by crew access.  For the crew, Naranja can accommodate 15 forward in seven cabins plus one pilot's and one dedicated engineer's cabin aft in the lazarette space, as well as all typical crew lounge, galley and utility areas as well as walk in refrigerator and freezer units.

The interior style and outfitting is all about clean-lines and rich woods outlining lighter fabrics. The exterior decks include multiple private and public areas plus multiple seating areas, bars, and grills. "This project started out quite a bit larger and then has come along to take shape as a more refined thoroughbred of sorts. The final result is uniquely outfitted with all the owner required and more and yet strives to stay pure in form and function,"  said Ward Setzer, President of Setzer Yacht Architects.
