Mega Yacht ‘Breeze’ by Sinot
Sander Sinot of Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design is continuously collaborating with owners to talk about their shared passion, their ambitions, but also trends and developments in the yachting industry. Sander recognises that the market is ready for a new approach that makes a clean break from the archetypical yacht, but at the same time retains the essence of the nautical spirit. The 137m mega yacht ‘Breeze’ is the result of this innovative thinking, which brings together a unique visual language and the careful use of materials and architectural detailing. Super yacht ‘Breeze’ represents a groundbreaking yacht concept and a new way of thinking about luxury mega yachts.
“ Breeze is a yacht that prefers hidden luxury and elegance over superfluous detailing. Breeze’s owner feels no urge to prove himself – he makes an impression through his professional success and his positive, informal and smart appearance. This casual, open-minded business tycoon feels comfortable in Breeze’s open and airy environment. The yacht’s peacefulness and freedom perfectly match his spiritual personality, but the craftsmanship in every detail of the yacht will strongly appeal to him.” Sander Sinot
The ‘Breeze’ yacht merges the qualities of a spacious, comfortable luxury resort with that of an informal contemporary work environment which is oriented towards interaction and innovation. Green, globally oriented, entrepreneurial. Designed for relaxation and exertion, action and contemplation. A yacht that brings together extremes and where the owner, his family, friends and business relations can experience the refreshing breeze of the future.
“Our philosophy for Breeze reflects the changing purpose of super yachts in the near future. Owners and their guests will spend more and more time on the yacht. The emphasis is going to shift from just leisure-to-leisure and business, where the yacht will increasingly serve as an attractive alternative to the office or the country club. Owners will no longer just fly in for short stays, but will spend longer periods on board and use their time there to relax and pursue their regular business activities. Breeze is fully equipped for this, allowing the owner to make optimal use of the advantages of an offshore office.” Sander Sinot
The top quality of materials and equipment make the Breeze yacht extremely durable, ensuring that it will be sailing the world’s oceans for a very long time. But it is not only the striking details that make Breeze an exceptional yacht. Breeze embodies a new idea, a new direction in the design of the world’s largest yachts. In this new conceptualisation, owners will spend more time on their yacht, which will take up a dual leisure-and-business function. For the designers at Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design, this new direction means they make use of large, open, light spaces that are fully geared towards providing high levels of comfort and enabling fun and interaction. At the same time, the generous use of glass and the large outdoor spaces allow Breeze to retain a strong maritime character. Moreover, the massive Private Bay with its 25-metre Lagoon Cruiser on the lower deck brings the sea closer than ever. Yet the yacht’s unique versatility means that the owner and his guests are never restrained in their need for freedom, privacy and space. With its large airy spaces, Breeze is a luxurious country club, a highly exclusive beach resort and an innovative private office all in one.
“As designers, we try to infuse something new into everything we create. This is always a great challenge, especially for the design of a super yacht, where our clients are generally demanding and like to be closely involved in the design process. At times the sense of innovation is expressed in individual details, while at others it is more apparent in the yacht’s overall aspect. And sometimes every part of the design concept is entirely novel. This is the case for Breeze. This 137-meter yacht with its wide beam of 20-meter distinguishes itself through its unusual details, such as the infinity pool with its eye-catching water feature or the huge Private Bay, which allows the owner and his guests to enjoy their own private seafront beach whenever and wherever they want.” Sander Sinot
EXTERIOR DESIGN
Breeze’s exterior reveals the yacht’s openness to its maritime surroundings. Bridge and bow are drawn together in a half arch, merging space, construction and functionality. Eye-catching exterior details include the prominent entrance, and the design and positioning of the large sloping windows.
All five spacious exterior decks are connected to interior lounges that are geared towards enjoyment and relaxation. With its transparent dome the Wheel House Lounge vantage point on the top deck allows for stunning 360-degree ocean views. The remarkable round table on bridge deck is surrounded by revolving windows and a retractable roof, allowing the table to be positioned both indoors and outdoors.
The outstanding feature on upper deck is the infinity pool with its rounded, shatterproof glass walls along which water is allowed to run freely.
The spacious main deck features a number of seating arrangements, including a breakfast or relaxation area, and a Gym & Spa worthy of any high-level athletics club. On the lower deck, the yacht’s sides and stern open up for the owner and his guests to enjoy the pleasures of maritime life and embark on the yacht’s water toys, tenders or Lagoon Cruiser.
PRIVATE BAY
The Breeze design philosophy rests on the assumption that super yachts will play an ever-greater role in owners’ lives. One of the great challenges in the design of a super yacht like Breeze is to ensure that the owner, his family and his friends can fully enjoy the pleasures of maritime life. Sander Sinot and his team have chosen a pioneering approach on Breeze with the creation of a magnificent Private Bay in the ocean.
By opening the rear and the two sides of the yacht, an impressive 35-meter U-shaped open beach area emerges that can be used for swimming, sunbathing, relaxation and exploring the surroundings with the various water toys. The 25-meter Lagoon Cruiser is the most eye-catching of all of Breeze’s toys. This remarkable ship is fitted out with all modern appliances and is fully equipped for several-day excursions. Furthermore, the tender’s dual electric and fuel engines allow it to noiselessly enter and exit Breeze’s Private Bay.
INTERIOR DESIGN
One of Sander Sinot’s objectives in the interior design of Breeze was to create an open, airy, stylish and inviting feel. The use of large windows throughout allows not only optimal use of natural light, but also accentuates the merging of indoor and outdoor spaces. Each space balances comfort and style to create an atmosphere in which the owner can really feel at home. Light teak floors, an abundance of glass, bronze and stainless steel finishing, genuine, natural materials such as silk, cotton and linen, and space, lots of space.
Moreover, depending on the owner’s tastes, the corridors can be built in rounded or rectangular style. Breeze’s interior design strikes a perfect balance between openness and privacy. Functional elements have been conceptualised as freestanding objects, though special care has been taken not to compromise sight lines or spatial balance in any space. The use of predominantly natural light and natural colours gives the yacht a serene feel. As in every other Sinot Yacht Design project, almost all of Breeze’s furniture and accessories are custom designed. Sinot relies on its global network of suppliers and works only with the most highly qualified craftsmen to guarantee the best possible quality of materials and objects.
SKY LOUNGE
Luxury mega yacht Breeze’s Sky Lounge on the bridge deck is a unique space in which indoors is easily transformed into outdoors and vice versa. The Lounge is divided into exactly equal-sized indoor and outdoor spaces with a specially designed, custom-made round table in the middle that can accommodate 20 people. Thanks to innovative revolving windows, the table can effortlessly be brought into the indoor or the outdoor space. The al fresco window can be shut by simply pressing a button to bring the table into the beautifully decorated lounge. In the evening, the blinds can be drawn for greater privacy, while special lighting creates a cosy, intimate atmosphere.
Crafted of sculpted glass, the stunning custom-designed bar is another striking feature in this lounge, resembling an ice sculpture. Besides this inviting bar, the lounge also features a movie theatre setting with an inventive seating system that can be arranged so that each of the 20 comfortable seats enjoys a perfect view of the screen.
GUEST STATEROOMS AND OWNER STATEROOM
The Guest State Rooms exude the same atmosphere of luxury and serenity as the rest of the yacht. With excellent beds, a large bathroom, abundant natural light and specially designed furniture, every guest will feel at home in these luxurious rooms. Soft colours, light wood types and rare natural stone are used to achieve the tone of hidden luxury that typifies the Breeze design concept.
In the Owner State Room one is immediately struck by an immense sense of space. The super-size bed seems suspended in space, while the use of light wood types in the floors, ceiling and walls enhances the serene and calming atmosphere. The bottom-lit, handcrafted frosted glass rocks along the large slanted windows create a subtle transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.
The luxurious his-and-hers bathrooms further elaborate the open design concept and feature a wooden bathtub. The owner can custom-design this element by handpicking light or dark types of wood or stone. The Owner State Room also includes two spacious dressing rooms for him and her. Thanks to the large window, these spaces communicate with the outdoor spaces, while the custom-fitted wooden shades also allow the dressing rooms to be transformed into a more intimate setting.
UPPER DECK LOUNGE
Space and relaxation are core concepts in the design of the imposing upper deck. Located on the same level as the Owner State Room, the upper deck Lounge provides the perfect setting for relaxing evenings. With its impressive large window areas, the upper deck Lounge has a very open, airy and spacious character. The interior appears to merge with the outdoor spaces, accentuating its serene and peaceful character.
The owner and his guests can make use of the eight-meter custom-designed wooden bar or relax in the circular seating area to enjoy the sea views.
However, the infinity pool immediately stands out as the upper deck’s central feature. The water that runs along the rounded, shatterproof glass wall of this eight-meter pool makes it seem like there is a column of water on the deck. The artificial waterfall above the infinity pool is lit up with a high-frequency pulsating light so that the drops of water look frozen in space and this swimming pool truly becomes a work of art.
MAIN DECK LOUNGE
The main deck Lounge is conceived along the same spatial design principles as the rest of the yacht, with many open spaces, long sight lines, the use of light colours and materials and large window areas. The most eye-catching element in the Lounge is the walk-in aquarium with its cybernetic swimming deep-sea creatures. These glass-like solar-powered robots choose random swimming patterns in the crystal-clear bottom-lit water.
Around the aquarium, the sophisticated fitness equipment and stylish relaxation facilities of the Gym and Spa offer everything that is needed to stay in shape. The Gym offers a sweeping view through large windows, which open up onto the deck to allow for open-air training sessions. The Gym’s positioning in an open Lounge space enhances the feeling of freedom during training. Across from the Gym, comfortable chaises lounges provide space for relaxation.
The Gym and Spa draw on Oriental philosophies to create ultimate wellbeing. The design of the two 5×7-meter wellness pavilions employs natural woods and soothing colours and materials to heighten the sense of calm and tranquillity. The first of these two spa hubs features Turkish-style cold and hot tubs and a professional massage table, while the second accommodates a spacious sauna and a fully equipped beauty salon.
