M/Y HORUS

This is HORUS, a 70-meter motor yacht.
Its exterior design draws inspiration from various sources, capturing the essence of "elegance in motion." Examples include J-class sailing boats and iconic sports cars from the 1960s, which are reflected in the yacht's sleek lines.

The interior design and layout of HORUS are informal and characterized by the use of natural materials. The yacht's signature style is reminiscent of a luxurious country house, borrowing elements from different types of traditional buildings. The floors feature a resin material that evokes the calcareous stone found in the grand farms of Apulian Masserie. Drawing inspiration from these traditional estates, the yacht's design seamlessly integrates vaulted ceilings and a soft color palette, creating a distinctive atmosphere.

The main saloon of HORUS features an original colonnade inspired by a Mexican Hacienda. These structural columns minimize the frame of the sliding glass windows, offering unobstructed views on three sides of the saloon.

The owner's cabin, spanning over 100 square meters, is located aft on the upper deck. It boasts a 270° sea view, balconies on both sides, a private office, a large Jacuzzi, and a panoramic aft window measuring 3.5 x 10 meters. Ensuring privacy in ports was a primary concern for this cabin, which is why the yacht is designed to berth bow-to directly to the upper deck. This allows the owner to experience an innovative homecoming reminiscent of their arrival at their villa in Saint Tropez or Miami.

The main saloon on the upper deck overlooks the long foredeck and features a stylish parlour on the bow side, situated beneath a scenic skylight. On the aft side, there is a spacious informal lounge area with large recessed sofas, comfortable cushions, and an ultra large TV screen.

The bridge deck houses the wheelhouse and the captain's cabin. Moving outside on the same deck, there is a wide multifunctional open-air area, highlighted by a see-through glass walkway on the aft portion, and featuring amenities such as a circular couch with a fire pit.

The accommodations are situated on the main deck and include four VIP cabins and two guest cabins. The stern area of the main deck creates a hybrid space that combines indoor and outdoor elements, resembling a country villa's portico. It offers ample lounge and dining spaces, culminating in a grand swimming pool. The entire outdoor beach club area can be shaded thanks to a concealed sliding awning system integrated into the yacht's structure. All the exterior decks are covered in marine cork.

All cabins feature full-height glass windows. To ensure privacy and control the amount of sunlight entering the cabins, a louvered design runs along the entire bulwark. The louvers are attached to frames that open upward, similar to a tender door garage. Each cabin has its own set of frames, allowing guests to adjust the amount of light by opening or closing their cabin's louvered bulwark door. Thanks to this characteristic design the air conditioning system is more efficient.

The midship lower deck is home to a gym and a wellness area, easily accessible from all the accommodations on the main deck. Crew cabins are located at the bow in this area, while the engine room and a tender garage capable of housing two 8-meter tenders, jet skis, and various water toys. The technical area, where the stern anchor is located for bow-to berthing, is also accessed from the garage.
The hybrid propulsion system allows for low-speed navigation without the diesel engines running, operates in diesel-electric mode at medium speeds, and ensures an autonomy of over 5000 nautical miles at 12 knots.
The engineering of the project has been developed by NAMES studio, led by Francesco Rogantin.
