About Shinkai

A striking mast and the yacht’s very own submarine: these were just two of the specific requests by an owner who has enormous experience of discovering the world by sea. Like every genuinely custom superyacht, the design for Shinkai revolved around these specific choices of the client. In this case the key was how best to incorporate a 7.2-tonne submarine on the aft deck along with the giant crane required for launching and collection. Taking this as the starting point, designer Philippe Briand and the teams at Vitruvius and Feadship have developed a 55-metre explorer yacht which will be able to travel the world while remaining both self-sufficient and fuel-efficient.

No compromise for the 55m M/Y Shinkai, Philippe Briand explains why

The new 55m yacht Shinkai  is the eighth superyacht to be launched by Philippe Briand’s Vitruvius Yachts and the second designed for this owner. Shinkai was recently transferred from Feadship’s construction hallway in Aalsmeer to the builder’s outside dock for final outfitting ahead of her sea trials. As to the construction and co-naval architecture, these were carried out by Feadship De Vries, while Daniela Boutsen provided her interior design. Together, the eminent group has pushed the boundaries of what might be considered both a superyacht and an explorer at the same time. And herein lay the challenge for Briand and his team.

“This is a special project for us, as Shinkai is the second yacht that we have designed for her owner. In fact, he was the first yachtsman to embrace the benefits of Vitruvius’s efficient hulls,” says Philippe Briand. The result is a 55m, 974GT motor yacht demonstrating the following characteristics: high-tech, comfort, explorer layout, aesthetic, sustainability.

Adventurous Shinkai can reach the most remote places on the planet. She is ice-classed and stabilized by a vast mono gyroscope, which has never been specified on a yacht of this scale before. The 23-tonne gyroscope is particularly important for operations of the submersible, which needs a perfectly stable launching platform. It is also beneficial when navigating through waters at high latitudes, replacing conventional fin stabilisers which are at risk of being damaged by ice and flotsam, and are inefficient at low speeds.

A departure from the characteristic low-profile aesthetic of Vitruvius Yachts, Shinkai spans four decks plus an observatory setting, in order that the spaces inside meet the detailed requirements of the very experienced client. The owner’s cabin is positioned forward in the superstructure, with an exceptional area of 73sqm and a 135-degree view through full-height reinforced windows. There are four further guest suites, while seven cabins for 12 crew complete the accommodations.

Shinkai carries a wide variety serious toys, such as her 7,400kg U-Boat Worx submersible for three passengers. “I imagine it would have made Jean Jacques Cousteau jealous of such bright possibility to explore underwater!” adds Briand. The yacht’s design includes an extended aft deck to support the toys that make for a truly adventurous expedition, including 4×4 land vehicle, a large limousine tender, and multiple robust RIBs.

The Vitruvius “touch of design” assures the seamless integration of both “facets” of the project: an attractive superyacht and a powerful explorer. The high freeboard and superstructure are cut by a set of longitudinal lines, each having its own movement and raison d’être . 

With Shinkai ’s far-reaching cruising plans to explore the planet comes the responsibility to be environmentally sensitive in her operations, which Philippe Briand took into account when designing her hull lines. Even with the yacht’s generous displacement of 974GT, her hull resistance has been optimised to deliver a reasonable fuel consumption of 19.5L per nautical mile at a cruising speed of 12 knots.

Once she is delivered, her owner plans to extensively cruise around the world, from the frigid polar regions to the warmer tropics on the equator. With the capabilities afforded by her submersible and other toys, Shinkai is primed to provide those onboard with the chance to explore the oceans in three dimensions, both at the surface and well beneath it, too.

Shinkai, A 55m True Superyacht Explorer With A No-Compromise Approach

Inspired by a childhood sailing in the yachting center of La Rochelle, France, Philippe Briand has dedicated his life to perfecting the art of conquering the sea. His designs stand out for their technical excellence and precision, combined with his strong artistic flair and ability to drive innovative design trends as he seeks perfection.  As one of the founders of the Water-Revolution Foundation, he contributes to the standards moving towards the neutralization of the ecological footprint of the yachting industry, and Vitruvius Yachts are 30% more efficient than other yachts of comparable size. The custom superyacht  Shinkai  was recently transferred from Feadship’s construction hallway in Aalsmeer. The designer’s eighth superyacht has the construction, and co-naval architecture carried out by Feadship De Vries, while Daniela Boutsen has provided her interior design.

2022 launch of shinkai.

From Brief to Completion – The Launch of Shinkai

Vitruvius Yachts are pleased to announce the launch of Shinkai. In January 2022 she took to the waters and began her journey. Here we show you our journey from the brief and initial sketches to the yacht itself.

The steel-hulled, ice-class yacht, was commissioned by a highly experienced and discerning owner, who had extensive plans for touring the globe.

This was the second time Philippe Briand and Vitruvius Yachts had worked with the owner on an ambitious design. This brief was for a fuel efficient, 55m explorer, which carries a three-man submarine, a Toyota Land Cruiser, and an all-electric Jet-Ski. The yacht also had to have six guest suites and accommodation for 12 crew incorporated into the design.

“This highly experienced client had plenty of ideas as to how he might achieve his goal, including the possibility of a ‘submarine yacht’ – an idea that was eventually decided to be just too far ahead of its time.”

The yacht design included the largest gyroscope built to date, weighing 21 tonnes, as conventional stabiliser fins could be damaged by the passing pack ice. Plus several features including various specialist equipment for safe cruising through ice.

The yacht incorporated a submarine for underwater exploration, a rough terrain vehicle for off-road touring and a bespoke limousine tender for comfortable and protected trips ashore, in challenging conditions.

Also included:

An open observation deck,

The uppermost enclosed deck contains the wheelhouse and captain’s cabin.

A full-beam dining room, two grand suites and offices that provide panoramic views forward.

Two spacious guest suites and two twin-bed children’s suites

A lower dec for crew with seven cabins, a large mess room, laundry and galley.

Captain shoots down rumours over mega yacht anchored off Iqaluit

M/Y Shinkai passed through Nunavut’s capital over the weekend

I was in the Rankin airport when a private jet flew in and dropped off 4-5 people dressed as explorers with wealthy equipment and bags. He made a call or two and in about another hour another private jet landed and picked them up. I overheard the older man telling the captain of the jet they have been far North on a super yacht the size of a football field. Sounds like this may be the yacht in question.

Last year one of these was parked in Arctic bay and rumors were that it was Betsy DeVos and her billionaire family

THANK YOU ????

Seems not very strict country after all. Not very professional as they seem to be from forighers but no as strict.

I wonder if they were drinking Mega pints of wine on this mega yacht? Lol….

To drop into Nunavut waters a $3-million, 3 person sub called the “Most versatile scientific research submersible”, begs the question, what are they researching, looking for?

Who’s funding the research?

Who said that was happening?

Whew. I sure am glad it wasn’t a Russian Oligarch in our Harbour. Western European oligarchs are so much better.

It’s more about. If it was a Russian oligarch involved in the war effort, this boat would be a Canadian boat by now 🙂

Definitely not Russian as she just pulled in to Honolulu harbor this morning
