“Our focus was to create a design that not only captures attention with its sleek lines but also enhances the onboard experience for owners and guests alike,” managing director of Red Yacht Design Fatih Surekli said in a statement.

With a beam of roughly 36 feet, Livia offers a generous amount of room onboard. The interior includes five large staterooms, with each one opening to a private terrace with sea views. The owner’s suite is even more luxurious, spanning two decks and showcasing a lounge and private swimming pool.

The extravagance continues outdoors. The sprawling sundeck is home to a bar, an infinity pool, and a plush lounge, while the upper deck is adorned with a circular lounge, a fire pit, a giant dining table, and an outdoor cinema. A few more steps below, the main deck sports an epic sky lounge and the beach club is fitted with yet another pool. Wellness buffs are also catered to, with a sauna and gym located on the lower deck. 

Livia will also be quite the cruiser. The yard didn’t go into specifics regarding propulsion, but says the yacht will have a cruising speed of 12 knots and deliver “exceptional performance on long voyages.” 

We’re looking forward to it, too.
