EMIR BALANCES SUMPTUOUSNESS & SOCIABILITY
03 February 2021
Megayacht News explores the many features and design ideas of our 120-metre concept Emir.
"A common assumption holds that the larger the yacht, the easier the designer’s job, since more space means no confined quarters. Interestingly, designers say larger yachts are harder to keep intimate. Gresham Yacht Design’s latest concept, the superyacht Emir, invites owners to entertain big parties in splendor, simultaneously creating cozy areas for just a handful of family and friends.
"Similar to Gresham Yacht Design’s Thor Explore, the 394-footer (120-meter) meets SOLAS standards for up to 36 passengers. Owners and guests can arrive in grand style via helicopter, landing on either of two helipads. (Notably, on a side note, Gresham Yacht Design incorporates fold-up bulwarks to keep the helicopter secure one everyone is back onboard the yacht.) Upon entering the heli-lobby, owners and guests can choose to relax in the handful of saloons on the decks below. Alternately, the owners can retire straight to their suite if they land on the helipad above their private deck."
