Teak, Marble, Onyx, Silk, Wool, Bronze and Glass, a diverse material vocabulary deployed in a deeply personal and poetic expression. The result is a new yacht born of history, tradition, values, myths, and story.
To carry out the conception of Kensho. Her owner has assembled a fine mix of industry authorities and fresh-eyed newcomers to realize his vision.
The design team - with exterior design by Azure Yacht Design (NL) in collaboration with archineers.berlin (DE), and interior design by Agence Jouin Manku (FR) - dared to imagine more. Encouraged by their passionate and inventive client, they've designed and delivered a ground-breaking unique layout that sets a newly minted standard for functionality.
Technical Marine UK have overseen the project on behalf of the Owner from the start, acting as Owners Project Manager and Technical Surveyor.
Together, the team gives new form to yachting's established codes.
M/Y Kensho is equipped with a state-of-the-art "Diesel-Electric" propulsion system, with permanent magnet electrical motors, granting a high efficiency and great power, with limited volume.
The design has been developed giving important weight to the environmental perspective, not only in the respect of the "ECO" notation of the Classification Body, supplying the propulsion system with five variable speed generators, all equipped with antiparticle system so to optimise consumption at every speed and reduce emissions in the atmosphere.
The hull has been developed by minimising resistance through the employment of azimuthal propulsion and retractable stabiliser fins.
Kensho will be available to charter by leading superyacht company Y.CO in the Mediterranean in summer 2022.
