Forget everything you thought you knew about luxury yachts. Kitson Yachts is about to redefine the game with their breathtaking 88-metre (that’s a jaw-dropping 288-foot!) superyacht, “Project Spyder.” Set to launch in 2027, this vessel isn’t just big, it’s an experience. Think sleek lines, innovative design and a touch of mystery.

Imagine gliding across the azure waters, not just on a yacht, but on a floating paradise. That’s the promise of Project Spyder. Espen Oeino, the naval architect genius behind its exterior, has crafted a masterpiece. The steel hull cuts through the waves with effortless grace, while the lightweight aluminium superstructure adds a touch of modern elegance. But it’s not just about looks. This beauty is also a beast, powered by a cutting-edge diesel-electric propulsion system with electric Azipods. Think reduced emissions, lower fuel consumption and a smaller footprint on the environment. Luxury with a conscience? Absolutely.

Step inside, and you’re transported to a world of refined comfort. FM Architettura has woven their magic, creating an interior that’s both sophisticated and inviting. Neutral tones and textures create a sense of calm, while carefully chosen pops of colour add personality and flair. It’s a space where you can relax, entertain and truly feel at home. And who’s bringing this vision to life? Admiral Yachts, of course. Their expertise in shipbuilding, combined with cutting-edge 3D technology and digital platforms, ensures that every detail is perfect, every line precise.

But let’s talk about the real juicy bits – the features. Project Spyder is designed for ultimate indulgence. With space for 18 guests in nine opulent suites, there’s room for everyone. The owner’s suite? Prepare to be speechless. Located on the bridge deck, it boasts its own private, circular deck overlooking the vast ocean. Imagine waking up to that view every morning. Pure bliss.

And the fun doesn’t stop there. Picture a nearly 1,080-square-foot beach club, complete with colourful surfboards, just waiting for you to grab a board and hit the waves. Feeling active? Take a dip in the 34-foot pool on the main deck, or challenge your friends to a game of pickleball or basketball on the bow, which cleverly transforms from a helipad to a sports court. For those who prefer a more relaxed pace, the sundeck offers a gym, a Jacuzzi and plenty of space to lounge and soak up the sun.

The story behind is as intriguing as the yacht itself. It’s a tale of collaboration, vision and family. The owner, along with his multigenerational family, played an active role in the design process, working closely with Espen Oeino, Admiral Yachts and FM Architettura to create a vessel that truly reflects their personal style and needs. They wanted a yacht that was all about family, spaciousness and enjoying the great outdoors. And from what we can see, they’ve certainly achieved that and more.

The keel was laid in February 2024, marking a significant in the construction process. Two shipyards were initially considered for this ambitious project, but The Italian Sea Group emerged as the perfect partner, thanks to their proactive approach and their embrace of cutting-edge 3D technology. The collaboration has been seamless, with quick turnaround times and a shared commitment to excellence.

So, are you hooked yet? We are. Project Spyder is more than just a superyacht, it’s a statement. It’s a testament to innovation, luxury and the power of collaboration. 2027 can’t come soon enough. We’ll be keeping our eyes on the horizon, eagerly anticipating the moment this magnificent vessel finally graces the seas. Stay tuned for more updates as we uncover more secrets of Project Spyder.
