As contemporary superyacht design continues to prioritise light, openness and seamless connections to the sea, glass has evolved from a purely functional element into a defining aesthetic feature and, with the use of significantly larger glass panels, has become an essential structural component. Expansive glazing now shapes not only the visual identity of a yacht but also its engineering framework, requiring a far more integrated and technically rigorous approach. For German specialist TILSE, this shift represents both an opportunity and a responsibility – to ensure that increasingly ambitious designs are matched by uncompromising structural integrity, durability and precision.Integrating glass from the concept stage Larger glass surfaces have fundamentally changed how glazing is approached in yacht construction. No longer a late-stage addition, glass must be embedded into the superstructure concept from the earliest design phases, with engineers analysing how forces move through the pane, adhesive bond and surrounding structure. Unlike static architectural environments, yachts operate under continuous

Few yachts illustrate the value of long-term investment quite like the 59-metre explorer yacht Just B . Originally built by Amels in 1973 as a North

The 57.9-metre Abeking & Rasmussen superyacht Oui Oui has been spotted cruising out of Dartmouth in the UK on her maiden voyage following a short refit at the Abeking facility in Lemwerder. The sighting is our first with her new name. Launched in 2007 as Lady Sheridan and previously named Amaral, the superyacht arrived at the Abeking yard in April and has undergone a 3 month refresh under the direction of British designer John Vickers of Vickers Studio. Allegedly sold to a new owner back in the Spring, the yacht was designed in the early 2000s by Donald Starkey, who collaborated on her original interior with Rodriguez Interiors. Since departing from Dartmouth, Oui Oui has cruised along the Bay of Biscay and is currently on route to the Mediterranean.

Donna Green discusses modern yacht building, collaboration, and why successful projects are driven by people as much as process.

Conceived around the idea of bringing the comfort of home to the water, the Lazzara UHV 100 combines exceptional internal volume with engineering more commonly associated with much larger yachts.

While most superyachts are designed around established conventions, with layouts and spaces carefully arranged to distinguish guests from crew, owner Gabe Newell envisioned a different way of living onboard.
