World Superyacht Awards Finalist 2012, 45 m Motoryacht 'TATIANA'
(in the category: Three deck, Semi-displacement or Planing Motor Yacht)
EXTERIOR
The style of this true-four-deck yacht is very unique and sleek, evoked by fluent lines. Large window sections, uncommon design solutions and alignments of bulwark and stern area emphasis her length. Her hull colouring is supporting this powerful dynamic shape. An aesthetic tension creates a sporty appeal. Consequently, the overall concept has been done from inside to outside in order to harmonise the hull's lines with the yachts silhouette.
Her sizeable square portholes are another eye-catching trademark. The windows play a key role in creating this generous space - the light and spacious interior eliminates any distancing effect that could alienate guests from their environment, allowing them to integrate more fully with the yacht's marine surroundings. The main deck forward as well as the upper deck aft superstructure are designed as a wide body in order to generate extraordinary interior space. Upper aftdeck and the flybridge are planned in such a manner, that this areas could be separated for owner usage only.
Continuing the theme of maximizing outside space, all outer decks are laid out with ample space and are well equipped with sunbathing beds, swimming pool, jacuzzi, bars, chaises lounges and seating areas on either ends, from bow to stern. These facilities and plenty of space allow several groups to be separated from each other for sitting, amusement or relaxing.
The fly bridge is dominated by a central swimming pool covered with Bisazza tiles and an adjacent sun bed. Nearly the entire fly bridge is shaded by a hardtop and easily convertible by retractable awning in an open area. A barbecue, an alfresco bar and a built -in L-shaped dining area as well as several chaises lounges complete the arrangement. The space offers maximum comfort and great freedom of movement.
INTERIOR
The brief of the basic outline embodied certain aims: firstly, to create a feeling of spaciousness in every room, secondly, to incorporate a large number of rooms into the plan. This included, for instance, two richly equipped owners' suites, a large foyer, a 'state-of-the art' cinema, four guest cabins and a spacious area for the crew, including the own mess.
In choosing the colour scheme, fabrics and materials, it has been sought to give the yacht lightness and a Mediterranean air with a timeless, classically elegant interior. Light oak has been selected in combination with wenge, beige and bordeaux-red real leather contrasting with brushed stainless steel elements, as well as delicious displays of various granites and onyx.
The main salon is huge and has a large recessed ceiling overhead cassette with indirect illumination. One of the most interesting feature in the salon is the 'inside-outside' bar, connected with a large sliding window part. A room divider, which is highlighted by a decorative partition glass wall, separates the living room from the dining room. Twelve people can sit around the dining table, surrounded by plenty of cabinets and sideboards. The salon is accessible through automatic aft glass sliding doors and two generous side sliding doors on each side.
Large attention has been paid for the galley. A great amount of refrigerators, a cooking island with large hob and a deep fryer, appliances from Miele including a XXL oven and a trash compactor enable a professional cooking. The decor selection with wenge parquet, white high-gloss lacquered furniture and black Kerrock countertops creates on the other hand an elegant ambience.
From starboard side walkway you can enter the representative foyer with an artful granite floor mosaic. The cantilevered central staircase connects all decks with a beautiful atmosphere by the use of natural daylight.
Unusual for a yacht of this size: a professional equipped high-end cinema with a tremendous sound and view experience. The extensive library of films and songs can also be enjoyed in each cabin and public spaces by screens and a perfect Hifi sound system.
In the front of the maindeck one of the two owner's-staterooms is located with a generous bathroom separable by a large wide automatically glass sliding door. The freestanding wash table is topped by a attracting organic shaped washbasin from the design-affine brand Kanera. Partition walls in satin and clear glass create generosity and the use of rich natural daylight.
At the lower two large-sized VIP- and two guest-cabins are placed. All of them with a spectacular view through the outstanding portholes, no feelings of claustrophobia will occur. The cabins are outfitted with king size beds, en-suite bathrooms and flat screen TVs connected to the yacht's sophisticated entertainment system. Two of those boast a third foldaway bed.
The most unique part of the yacht is the owner's-stateroom on upper deck with spa area (massage-room, steam room), a luxuriously bathroom, an extra study, a lot of light and an astonishing view to the outside because of the large surrounding windows. A huge flat screen TV is situated with a 'pop-up' unit in the ceiling. The TV is swivelling in a way to be useable for inside and outside. The alfresco deck with a Jacuzzi is construed for owner's use only. In fact, with the exception of the wheelhouse, that entire deck is devoted to the owner. From here a well designed freestanding staircase sculpture leads to the fly bridge.
The pilothouse is dominated with an wink shaped dashboard, boast all of the most up-to-date instrumentation and, of course, very high tech solutions to control the engines. A raised sofa allows guests to observe the yacht operating and to have a glorious panoramic overview.
The crew quarter is located in the forward section and provides accommodation for the skipper and 8 others. Each cabin includes plenty of storage as well as a bathroom with Kerrock countertops. The crew mess contains a large seating are and a pantry.
Tender, two jet skis and water sport equipment are situated in the aft garage.
TATIANA has an exceptionally clearly laid-out engine room in which each piece of equipment is easily accessible.
