The Kis M eT نسروـــل نم 2 تمسيـــك

ismet II was built as a replacement 95.2-metre upgrade yacht from the Owner’s previous award-winning 68-metre Kismet. The Owner pushed Lürssen to test its own boundaries engineering-wise and to create a yacht ahead of its time, while also being the ultimate entertainment vessel afloat for welcoming friends and family.

Kismet was designed by two leading names in contemporary design – Espen Oeino International for the exterior and Reymond Langton Design for the interior. Kismet won her class, “Motor Yacht of above 75 metres LOA”, at the 2015 World Superyacht Awards – the quality of design, engineering and build being recognized by a discerning panel of judges, who voted Kismet to be the best yacht of the year in the industry’s largest category. Kismet is equipped with an ultra-modern stabilization system which reduces the roll motion effect and results in a smoother, more enjoyable cruising experience underway and at anchor. This is just one of the elements making Kismet’s sea keeping under all circumstances – including in heavy seas – very comfortable.

The brief given for the overall style of the yacht was ‘Champagne and Caviar’, and this influence is everywhere you look.

The virtual elimination of noise and vibration exceeded the Owner’s expectations while a heat recovery system uses the heat loss of the generators for heating the pool and Jacuzzi water, thus saving energy.

Interior

The brief given for the overall style of the yacht was to be “Champagne & Caviar”, with the intention that the yacht should be a perfect venue for elaborate parties and entertainment of friends, whilst also being a luxurious but comfortable family retreat.

The main feature that sets Kismet apart is the impressive, double-height entertainment area that spans the aft section of the Main and Upper decks. This dramatic area is emphasized by architecture that is a rich, contemporary interpretation of Art Deco themes, characterized in the sweeping staircase that unites the two decks, framed uniquely by two full-height video walls, with a formal reception and lounge area leading to a comfortable sports clubroom that converts into a cinema on the Main deck, whilst a more relaxed saloon and dining room feature on the Upper Deck. Two fireplaces and a grand piano allow for different moods and climates.

On the Bridge deck, the practicality of the layout is again shown by a more informal Beach Club lounge that can be transformed into a disco nightclub, with a large sports bar that opens out onto the expansive aft deck that doubles as a perfect dance floor.

In the Upper Deck Owner’s Suite a relaxing ambience is introduced with a subtle romantic theme inspired by Coco Chanel that is expressed in the Lalique style lighting adorning the mullions that frame the full-height windows, the dramatic fireplace surround at the foot of the bed, and the striking stone pillars and intricate inlays in the spacious bathrooms.

The inclusion of a comfortable office and private foredeck lounging area allows the Owner’s Suite to be a self-contained, secluded retreat at the heart of the yacht.

A Persian influence is found on the Lower Deck, with a fully featured Spa, Beauty Salon and Gym, with hand-crafted mosaic artworks in the bathrooms that reflect the individual character of each suite, carved stone artworks, exquisite bespoke furniture perfectly tailored to each room, embossed leather and specially commissioned artworks found throughout.

Exterior:

Considerable time was spent working out how exterior spaces were likely to be used during a week’s cruise and there are many spaces in which to ‘hang out’ or entertain, already mentioned. For example casual seating in the form of fixed furniture is provided aft of the ‘winter garden’ enclosure to take advantage of the spectacular view along the side decks or aft over the aft deck. A full screen cinema can be set up on the helideck above.

For designer Espen Oeino the ‘piece de resistance’ of the yacht is the top deck, its informal al fresco dining area next to the BBQ, supported by a fully-operational pantry, all behind protective glass doors giving access to the aforementioned forward part with swimming pool and Jacuzzi, forward-facing pilot seats and a rock garden, flanked by showers featuring beautiful mosaics. The private sunbathing area is accessible only via a spiral staircase with the mast structure leading to it. “Here the world can be contemplated from behind locked doors, and this may be my favourite spot on the yacht!” aunched in May 2015 at the Sunreef Yachts shipyard in Gdansk, the Blue Belly is the 12th unit from the 70 Sunreef Power line introduced and designed by famous sailor Laurent Bourgnon in 2008, and the first 70ft power catamaran from Sunreef with a fully open saloon.

Though the 12th of Sunreef’s 70 Power line, the Blue Belly is the first with a fully open saloon, making it perfect for entertaining and pleasure cruises.

The idea of having a 70 Sunreef Power by the Owners came in 2014, straight after the launch of their first yacht, the 60 Sunreef Power Ocean’s 11 . The stunning 60 footer inspired a desire for a yacht of a bigger size and with an appreciation for luxury design and spending indulgent time aboard, the 70ft catamaran seemed to be the best option for such discerning clients.

Inspired by Nature

Taking into account the client`s requirements, Sunreef Yachts’ designers opened the living area on the main deck and eliminated the interior navigation station in the saloon. In this way, an incredible amount of living space combined with the lounging and dining area was achieved. As Blue Belly is dedicated to short cruises, the yacht is equipped with the exterior helm station on the flybridge. Straight from the saloon is direct access to the master suite located at the front of the yacht. Following her predecessor 1 Life , launched in 2014, Blue Belly’s master cabin features panoramic views and has a spectacular magic glass panel separating the his-and-hers bathroom from the sleeping area. The array of colours chosen for Blue Belly’s upholstery comprises a variety of pale browns and greys, inspired by the warm rich tones of the desert sands and rocks, accompanied by navy blue and white nautical elements. This palette combination gives a special beach house effect and exquisite look to the space.

Interior designer Orna Weitz, from BROSH ALON design office, carefully chose the perfect assortment of fabrics, predominantly flax and Italian leather with ideal textures that emulate the ultimate luxury summer apartment. All cabins are touched with oak veneer and corian surfaces. Through intense study of the owners’ preferences the designer has achieved an ideal place to live and spend time mixed with natural and luxury finishes.

Made for Pleasure

Blue Belly can easily accommodate in comfortable conditions up to 10 guests in two VIP cabins and one standard cabin and a master suite. The galley with the separate exit from aft is located in the portside hull. Each cabin has its own bathroom and storage space. Crew cabins are located in the forepeaks. The layout of the yacht was prepared to ensure the Owners maximum privacy and separate quarters from the crew. Similarly to 1 Life , Blue Belly is equipped with a hydraulic platform placed at the aft. The lowering function ensures direct and easy launching of the jetski into the water. The cockpit and the flybridge comprise sunbathing mattresses, adjustable tables and a grill to make spending time aboard an even bigger pleasure.

With expansive spaces, luxurious amenities and plenty of lounging and dining spaces, the Blue Belly is the ideal choice for overnight pleasure cruises and entertaining guests.
