The most recent expedition yacht design by Gill Schmid Design was created specifically for James Bond fans.
Christened Synesthesia, the 213-foot newcomer is sturdy enough that it can undertake all manner of missions on the high seas but also doesn’t skimp on lavish amenities.
The New York-based studio said in a statement, “We are looking for an owner who enjoys the James Bond lifestyle, always seeking adventures at the highest level of comfort and luxury.”
The Synesthesia’s durable steel hull is surmounted by a lightweight carbon-fiber monocoque superstructure with sufficient structural integrity to create a vast interior devoid of columns. The ship is packed with architectural features that will also appeal to gadget-obsessed M16 agents. To begin with, the interior glazing is entirely retractable, with sliding doors and rotating glass elements that create an open-plan configuration and connect the interior to the exterior.
The yacht is also fitted with a number of hidden terraces and platforms. The touch-and-go helipad can be lifted up to create a spectacular party space, for example. A helicopter is not the only item that can be stored onboard. The tender storage facility can accommodate a 33-foot limousine tender, a 33-foot RIB, and four Jet Skis. On the main deck, there is also a drone store for tech-savvy agents.
The living quarters are centred on a bright and expansive main salon and dining area designed for entertaining. On the bridge deck there is also an outdoor dining area with a glass floor that overlooks the infinity pool and pool terrace below. It is the ideal location to savour a few Vesper Martinis, shaken, not stirred. You can unwind in a luxurious full-beam owner’s suite, while your fellow agents retreat to one of six capacious guest cabins. The yacht can accommodate up to 17 crew members (or thugs).
The veranda is an additional location ideal for Vespers. The breezy, open-air sanctuary features a large alfresco dining area, loungers, and a Jacuzzi with an infinity edge. The only thing lacking is a femme fatale.
