ALEXANDER MCDIARMID DESIGN GHOST YACHTS G212

“Alexander McDiarmid’s brilliance shines again in the Ghost Yachts G212, seamlessly blending the G180X’s lean, mean and clean ethos with cutting-edge technology and intricate design. Its aluminium hull and superstructure balance advanced fabrication with bespoke customization, catering to the most sophisticated buyer demands.”
Björn Moonen, Ghost Yachts, The Netherlands

Continuing our long collaboration with Ghost Yachts sees a new model conceived for the ultimate yachting experience. Taking the very best design elements, guest and crew circulation and technology from the all of the Ghost projects resulting in an exceptional project with a refined yet restrained, powerful overall exterior design with a very distinct and modern style shown in her profile. The project sets itself apart from the start with an updated, ultra-efficient Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) by Van Oossanen Naval Architects, from its ancestors combined with the addition of tunnelled ServogearEcoflow propulsors. Offering power on demand by having the choice to run 1, 2 or 4 engines. So whether you want to enjoy an afternoon tea-party on deck or want to race to the
next destination, the G212 is up for any task you throw at it.

The G212 is the sum of all her parts created by talented individuals who are first and foremost passionate about yacht design. Design excellence starts from the completely rethought and Owner adaptable General Arrangement/GA layout, advanced hull naval architecture all packaged and beautifully styled from stem to stern. Guest, Owner and crew cabins are all found on the lower deck and all share the very dominant, full length, hull glazing windows. (Obviously not one piece of glass!)

A very low profile like no other from the initial design brief of ‘Lean, Mean & Elegant’, a completely rethought General Arrangement including the vertical design heights, we are able to lower the yachts overall profile. The functional yacht design is a result of broker discussions, market demands, driving efficiency and sustainability all while emphasising the yachts striking yet balanced proportions. There is of course the option for a sun deck in front of the mast (not shown on any renderings)

In terms of materials the G212 uses lighter glass with a higher insulation value. Thermal and acoustic insulation throughout the yacht are improved significantly which results in a lower power demand for HVAC and a quieter onboard experience in general.

Besides technical innovations a number of design choices were made to ensure build costs don’t spiral out of control. The switch from two/2 larger engines to four/4 smaller ones for example save both weight and money. The chiller plant was removed from the HVAC system in favour of an inverter based HVAC system that requires a lot less energy. Bringing the total power requirement of the hotel load down significantly. This simplifies and reduces the generator power requirements as well. The Hull material is Aluminium while the Superstructure is Aluminium and Carbon fiberreinforced polymers / CFRP.

The five/5 VIP guest cabins located in the hull, aft with one/1 Owners full beam suite situated forward of midships allowing Owner and Guests to enjoy easy access and circulation throughout the entire yacht. Crew circulation has been completely rethought.

The central focus is the saloon with full deck height glazing. Guest relaxation on the main deck aft is directly above a VIP cabin and beach club, with the wellness area and spa located in the aft hull directly below.

The smaller, intimate saloon and dining area on the accommodation deck enjoys port and starboard balconies for the ultimate entertaining experience with a potential, different view, morning, noon and night.

The bridge deck with bar offers private and secluded dining, room for entertainment and relaxation. In front of the One-man-bridge design, guests can relax and sunbath on the foredeck including the sunken foredeck with motorised canopy as first seen on the Ghost 80m G250. A 6.3m/20.6ft tender is housed within the foredeck, accessible by a hidden knuckle crane for easy crew tender operations.
