The 85M explorer is defined by an aggressive stance and a highly optimized platform, designed around immersive living and strong connections to the sea.
Open Beach Club & Subsea Experience A large, open beach club forms the social heart of the yacht, offering direct water access and seamless integration of wellness and watersports. A dedicated Nemo room provides a unique submerged viewing experience.
Dining as a Feature Space A formal dining area is conceived as both a social hub and architectural focal point, centered around an integrated wine cellar. The space connects effortlessly to surrounding salons and exterior decks, enabling flexible hosting.
Grand Owner’s Domain The Owner’s area is designed as a private, expansive retreat with panoramic views, combining lounge and exterior spaces into a cohesive, highly exclusive environment.
Yachting horizons have broadened.
A new or maturing owner is as likely to cruise Antarctica as the playgrounds of the Med. The environment on board should provide comfort, security and sanctuary, while inviting those dynamic landscapes inside, both physically through material, and emotionally, through vision, form and light.
Our designs will provide synergy with the exterior environment: Natural flamed stone coupled with oiled timber finished and elemental features and themes, such as fire, cast glass and coastal tones.
Beginning with the 65m model we will:
- Develop practical options for interior living: access to the water, connected spaces, occasional reading or working areas, plenty of options for convivial dining and entertainment, small or large groups, formal and informal...
- Maximize functional utility.
- Maximize interior accommodation.
- Consider foredeck mounted tenders to optimize interior GT.
- Reference and competition yachts have prominent glass and sightline features, either graphics or large panels. Therefore consider panoramic features and good coordination between interior views and exterior bulwarks and sheer lines.
- Maximize use of soft boundaries to interior walls to create sightlines and improve orientation on board (long architectural views).
- Consider glass bottomed pools and decks to maximize borrowed light and create dynamic signature ambiance.
- Consider maximizing glass features and sightlines from the interior.
- Adaptable/optional wellness and beauty facilities.
- Develop a signature silhouette, including surface features and recognizable stance, as a foundation for the range.
Ending with the 80m model we will:
- Continue with the space planning to offer alternative design options to the 65m as to appeal to a new buyer or show the functional options that a client can choose when finalizing the lyout
- Emphasize the fact that the end length overall can be increased or decreased depending on the clients vision along with the gross tonnage
- Incorporate a Nemo room into the beach club area offereing a unique underwater vieiwing experience
- Focus the design on wellness and health with a full service spa, cold plunge, beauty salon, gymnasium in a zen-like atmosphere
- Maximize tender & toy storage with the forward vision of life on (and below) the sea
- Commercial quality galley one would expect in a Michelin star restaurant
- Maximizing glass features throughout
- Glass bottomed pool that allows natural light to enter into the beach club below creating dynamic signature ambiance
- That same signature silhouette found on the 65m ABOVE with recognizable stance and profile lines
A Unique Heritage 1957-2002
Bannenberg & Rowell Design Ltd is the direct descendant of Jon Bannenberg Ltd, the convention-breaking studio founded by Dickie Bannenberg’s late father in the late 1950’s.
Jon Bannenberg designed an unbroken line of the most iconic and admired yachts in the world. Often referred to as the “Le Corbusier” of yacht design, he worked with shipyards in Holland, Germany, Italy, Australia and France. Beyond yachts, Bannenberg’s body of work was widespread, but focused at the very highest level, and included, first class suites and public rooms on the Queen Elizabeth 2 liner for Cunard, aircraft interiors and even bespoke car design for RollsRoyce and Jensen. He was appointed a Royal Designer for Industry in 1978.
Since 2003, when the company was rebranded as Bannenberg & Rowell, the studio has delivered some forty yacht projects - new builds and refits - as well as a further twenty residential and transport projects. The studio provides both interior and exterior design services.
B& R’s base is in an industrial building in Fulham, south-west London, which houses the design studio, a full soft furnishings and sampling library and the design archives dating back more than sixty years.
As the only modern, multi-generational, holistic yacht design studio Bannenberg & Rowell is truly uniquely equipped to understanding heritage.
The Bannenberg & Rowell Design Process
Creativity remains at the heart of the Bannenberg & Rowell Studio, and we continue to seek out new design solutions in response to a changing world and an evolving clientele.
We regularly develop and publish new design platforms which question, challenge and respond to changing life on board.
Occasionally radical, always diligently researched and engineered, these platforms go o to influence live projects, while promoting client conversations and direction at the outset of new ‘blank canvas’ projects.
Whether questioning and solving complex circulation requirements through creative space planning, improving sight lines through sculpted interiors, or improving visual and physical connection with the outside environment, we aim to ensure every opportunity for value and experience is harvested, on behalf of client, builder and crew.
A world of excellence and flexibility. Your yacht is one of a kind...So is you builder.
When we say we build fully custom yachts, we mean it. Our builds are as diverse and flexible as our Clients’ desires & dreams, and our facilities are designed from the ground up to be eminently capable and flexible. Yachting is all about lifestyle: your lifestyle.

The complete shipyard experience.
We’re not an assembly shipyard, we’re a complete shipyard. Most shipyards contract out their work, from engineering to installation. We do things differently, believing that our in-house teams across design, engineering, interior, production and more help us raise quality and keep costs under control. Completely.
Organized across every discipline that outstanding yacht construction requires, this business philosophy helps ensure fast turnarounds and raises the gold standards of shipbuilding to platinum. More flexibility. More Speed. Less hassle. We out-perform, in-house.
Built to last.
Quality is a system, not a slogan. It starts with the best components, from engines & generators to glass & springs and continues to production, 3D modelling every nut and bolt before executing expertly on the field. Lasting quality is not hoped for: it’s ensured.
First class.
Today recognized worldwide for their design and build quality with multiple WSA awards to testify, Turquoise’s superyachts are engineered & manufactured almost entirely in-house. The power of building in-house isn’t just higher quality control from the computer to the construction shed: it means we use resources more efficiently and with more speed.
