Focus Yacht Design Sketches a 328-Foot Explorer With a Lounge Set Level With the Sea

Focus Yacht Design has drawn up a 328-foot expedition yacht concept it calls Invision, and the detail that sets it apart from the usual long-range hull is a lounge placed down at the water's edge rather than stacked high on the superstructure. The idea is simple and appealing: a guest sits with the sea at eye level, the way a passenger sits low in a well-built grand tourer, instead of looking down on it from several decks up. For readers who keep a boat at Palm Beach or Naples alongside the cars, it is the sort of design thinking worth watching as the concept develops.
