THE SPACESHIP ON WATER
The ‘Royal Falcon One’ is a distinctively futuristic-looking vessel that has just hit the market and is being depicted as a “spaceship on water”.
In 2009, the design team Studio F. A. Porsche that is part of the Porsche group, came together with Singapore-based Royal Falcon Fleet where they sought and commissioned a yacht that no one had ever built before. The project was veiled in secrecy and constructed in the Swedish town Nynäshamn by Kockums Shipyard. The 135ft lavish catamaran was launched after 10 years in the making.
Driven by Porsche’s design characteristics of luxury and innovation, their latest endeavor has produced a superyacht that is as polished as any of their sports cars. She is for sale exclusively through Camper & Nicholsons International and is listed as ‘price on application’.
The wide beam and multi-hull design of the sleek, aluminium vessel facilitates a spacious feel throughout the living and dining areas on board, over several decks. She has accommodation for 10 crew members below deck, plus 10 guests over 4 luxurious guest rooms and 1 master suite that has a private balcony.
Amenities
In addition to her fine leather furniture and her boasting windows with panoramic views, her lavish amenities include a bar in the main saloon, an observation lounge, on the top sun deck she has a jacuzzi, and the stern has a concealed tender garage where a crane is used for deployment and recovery.
With her twin diesel engines that have 4,600hp, plus her twin Rolls Royce KaMeWa waterjets, she has a range of approx 3,200km and was specifically designed to have low fuel consumption. She has a max speed of 35 knots and cruising speed of about 15 knots. Her exterior design resembles that of a sports car, representing speed and dynamics in a new way.
