48ft Adventure Boat 2024
SHAKA
Following the client's previous project with ARGO NAVIS, we designed a larger adventure boat that refines the shipyard's signature language, blending power and elegance through assertive proportions and intentional surface detailing.
The result is a vessel that feels both rugged and refined, where every line serves purpose and presence. Leveraging my automotive experience, I incorporated sculpted surfaces and dynamic lines to create a boat with both purpose and presence.
SHAKA was designed to challenge the conventional adventure boat. My philosophy is simple: create something with universal appeal, a design that feels timeless. To achieve this, I balanced soft, rounded volumes with sharp graphics and a strong bow, constantly playing between masculinity and femininity.
Built with modularity in mind, the outer deck effortlessly accommodates lounging, dining, and storage. Its raised platform also leaves room for future possibilities, like an inboard version. SHAKA isn't just a boat; it's a carefully crafted balance of form, function, and forward thinking.
A 48-foot adventure boat that captures the shipyard's design language. The design merges maritime functionality with the refined aggression of a performance car, resulting in a vessel that moves as impressively as it looks.
