Project Triple X is currently under construction at Alia Yachts in Turkey. It spans the full range of Vripack’s holistic design disciplines and taps into the studio’s long-held reputation for creating some of the most accomplished explorer vessels on water. The American clients are experienced yacht owners who have chosen to embark on their first full custom yacht build. Project Triple X is also their first explorer, represented by the ‘X’ in the name. “The client’s wish is to explore the world with no limitations. They wanted a boat that would deliver on that dream and not hold them back,” says Marnix Hoekstra, co-creative director of Vripack. “They asked for a sexy, sporty explorer, capable of going through ice, adaptable in hot climates and super comfortable at sea.” The designers started with a 40m platform before lengthening the yacht to 43m to accommodate all of the owner’s wishes such as a walk-in closet and large bathroom. Other design fundamentals include an owner’s apartment conceived for a live-aboard owner, with a separate office, as well as a spectacular private deck area. Four guest suites are found on the lower deck. vripack.com
