Luxury Super Yachts from Van Gorkom Yacht Design

“In mathematics, science and engineering, elegance refers to the directness and simplicity of the solution to a complex problem. In architecture, elegance signifies a balance between grace, economy and strength. A balance between the extremes of the stylized and the prosaic is hard to find and even harder to sustain. When that balance is accomplished with flair and panache, we have elegance.”
– Rajeev S. Patke

Amawele

Inspired by recent developments in large catamaran design and in the Dutch super yacht builders, Van Gorkom Yacht Design has conceived a unique breed of mega yacht where form and function have been seamlessly blended together to create the ultimate in cruising comfort and design practicality. The twin hulls will provide an incredibly stable and comfortable platform for passengers and crew, while the slender hull forms are designed for maximum fuel efficiency and to reduce wave making drag. The 2 meter draft will allow the vessel to enter most anchorages and the high underwing clearance is designed to allow full speed operation in moderate sea conditions with a full load.

The twin hulls will provide an incredibly stable and comfortable platform for passengers and crew, while the slender hull forms are designed for maximum fuel efficiency and to reduce wave making drag. The 2 meter draft will allow the vessel to enter most anchorages and the high underwing clearance is designed to allow full speed operation in moderate sea conditions with a full load.

H2

H2 is a handsome 33.5 meter aluminum power catamaran designed by Marples Marine and is being built by Catman Cats. It has been conceived for both luxury cruising and long-range expeditions to remote areas of the world including ice belt regions.

MITseaAH

The new 156ft motor-sailer MITseaAH, designed by Pedrick Yacht Design and Lebowitz & Pritchard and built by Pendennis Shipyard, is probably one of the most unique and technologically sophisticated super yachts afloat today. These unique characteristics, not to mention her rich luxurious interior design and out-fitting, give this distinctive looking aluminum motor-sailor the very best of both worlds.

Gryphon

The inspiration for Gryphon draws on the sleek yacht tenders and “commuter” yachts of the 1930’s.
