BADGAL is a sleek and elegant 43-meter concept curated by Officina Armare Yacht Design Studio. The exterior design is unique, featuring a high sheer line connecting the bow to the stern. The glass-domed upper deck adds to the sporty look while the dark colors create an air of mystery. The bow mooring equipment placement under the upper deck flooring results in an innovative solution to storage and guest space ratios. Additional space is created in the lower deck by the v-drive transmission configuration, reducing the engine room area.

The powerful design is authenticated by surprising speeds. BADGAL boasts MTU 12V 4000CM93L engines to push the yacht to an astounding top speed of 29+ knots. BADGAL features a superb layout that guarantees total privacy and relaxation at sea. Her 5 interior staterooms provide luxury and premium comfort for up to 10 guests. This eye-catching design is sure to turn heads.

Furthermore, to leave more space in the lower deck, the team chose a v-drive transmission configuration, reducing the engine room area. The decision to go for a planing hull may seem in contrast with the latest trend of building most yachts capable to get on long range journeys at the desired cruise speed, but the striking design of this vessel represents the main aspect in which all the project revolves around. The focus, according to the team, who had to manage the task of pleasing the client, was to propose a show-off yacht rather than the usability of it.

The exterior design is the most fascinating feature of the yacht, simply for the fact that it is unique. The profile view shows two amazing and huge black windows with a contour line that connects the upper to the lower one, creating a fake intake like a side pod of a car, with a high sheer line, running all the way from bow to stern, that helps to define the powerful attitude.

Moreover, the glass dome-shaped upper deck adds to the incredible sleek exteriors of this yacht and the sporty look is emphasized by keeping an ordinary bow shape, giving the vessel a feel of speed and quickness. Giving credit to this project, the solution of hiding the bow mooring equipment under the upper deck flooring results in an innovative and brave answer to the problem of combining the space needed for the mooring system and keeping a smooth over-all design with the ordinary bow shape, unlike the choice of developing a reverse bow.

The yacht features three decks in her interiors, to be able to accommodate her owner in the huge master’s cabin, located in the main deck, plus 8 people in 4 cabins in the lower deck, each with a private bathroom. She can also house 6 crew members in 3 crew cabins with bunk beds in the lower deck and the captain’s cabin in the upper deck.

The guests’ cabins are in the lower deck, as well as the crew cabins, but are kept separated by a watertight bulkhead, as to avoid mixing the crew and guests flow. Inside the crew spaces, there are also 2 bathrooms and a galley, where crew members can live. The main deck layout is designed to be extremely wide and spacious, starting with the huge master’s cabin at the bow. Going aft towards the stern, a big dining area, close to the pantry, finds its space between the master’s cabin and the living area, completed by an open bar. Walking up the stairs, exposed to the living area, the upper deck can be reached, where the music studio is housed, as well as the captain’s cabin and the wheelhouse. The outside spaces are wide and luxurious, too. The upper deck features, at the bow, a Jacuzzi pool with sittings all around it, meanwhile at the stern, the music studio opens to a terrace balcony, which features comfortable lounge sittings.

A tender garage has been developed in the lower deck, with a hydraulic opening hatch, where sea accessories are stored, such as jet ski and an interesting tender, whose design matches the exterior lines of the motor yacht, featuring a lifting roll-bar as to be stored inside the garage.

The stylish interiors focus the attention on the research for details and luxurious materials, like silk tissues for curtains, linings and bedsheets, mahogany wood for desks, nightstands and tables and marble for kitchen counter and bathrooms. Large windows are capable to make the interiors glow thanks to the chosen combination of colours, soft and warm natural wood hues arranged with shades of beige and light grey are able, indeed, to create a positive atmosphere for the owner and the guests living and sharing moments. Furniture has been picked carefully to match the whole interior choices made, trying to display the complexity of a taste almost definable as baroque. The use of led spotlights helps the cabins to reach a cozy sensation, but also enhances the feeling of having large windows, making the space looking more spacious and brighter.

In the end, it is not a stretch to say that it would not be challenging to picture yourself on board of BADGAL, cruising at high speed during the day and mooring at some harbour by night: a great way to remind yourself this is what life is all about.
