Cruising mega-yacht VENUS

Project Venus is the latest in our popular 55-metre Steel series. Frank Laupman of Omega Architects has designed her an elegant and muscular profile and recently re-styled the exterior look to add a contemporary touch. Horizontal lines emphasise the optical length of the yacht and continuous sheets of tinted glass on the main and upper deck give Project Venus a whole new appeal. The French balcony in the owners’ apartment is a nook where they can enjoy the outdoors away from the rest of the guests. Large enough to offer plenty of outdoor and indoor areas for relaxing, socializing and enjoying life on board, but not too big to access the charming harbours of the Mediterranean. FIRST IMPRESSIONS Project Venus is packed with all the latest features and design innovations. The superstructure is adorned with a “shark tooth”, which is a smart design signature on the overhang of the wheelhouse that lends a powerful personality. The clean and svelte design required the removal of fashion plates; for example, the superstructure aft is completely free from pillars offering uninterrupted ocean vistas. This design feature significantly improves the indoor/outdoor connection and offers unsurpassed views of the sea from virtually every location on board, even when seated in the sky lounge. In the restyle, we even eliminated the window mullions in the main deck dining and sky lounge to afford an even stronger connection with the exterior surroundings. The beauty of Venus also lies below the waterline. Thanks to her ultra-performing Fast Displacement hull in combination with two compact Two MTU4000 M63 (IMO Tier III), she will reach a top speed of 15,5 knots.
