LILY: Erasing the Boundaries of Design

Wrapped in an exterior that curves like protective lily leaves, this yacht won’t just turn heads; it snaps necks. The newly coined term ‘leisure deck’ perfectly encapsulates the originality of this vessel, as it welcomes guests with a breathtaking 4m-high ceiling that opens onto a wellness area, integrated waterside pool, gym, and watersports gallery. Below deck, storage for four tenders and a helicopter proves this beauty has serious brawn.

But Vripack's true genius? Ditching traditional side walkways entirely. The result is a smooth, seemingly impenetrable exterior that maintains guests' connection to the ocean through one-way glass windows. As Vripack's co-creative director Marnix Hoekstra puts it, ‘the key requirement from Oceanco was to conceive a yacht for the change makers who want to leave a mark’.

Vripack's obsession with the LILY's structure continues inside, where split-level platforms and varying deck heights eventually converge at a dramatic glass mezzanine. This leads to nine guest cabins, an open-plan cinema, and, for the kid in all of us, a children's play nest accessed via suspension bridge.

The owner's split-level sanctuary crowns the top deck, complete with a massive 315msq private sundeck terrace and an interior lily pond open to the elements, from which the elevator rises like something from a Bond villain's lair. Even the crew areas are meticulously designed for maximum efficiency and discretion, with hidden access running below the main deck.

Behind Lily's jaw-dropping aesthetics lies serious environmental muscle. Lateral Naval Architects' Energy Transition Platform with hybrid Dynafin propulsion and fuel cell technology. 

LILY represents what Hoekstra describes as a ‘boundaryless onboard experience’, embodying Vripack's belief that ‘it's in the uniqueness of an idea where the true value for the future owner lies’.

This isn't just pushing boundaries - it's forgetting they ever existed.
