Project Velor: Rethinking the Architecture of Life at Sea

Nauta Design unveils Project Velor, a visionary 75-metre superyacht concept that boldly redefines onboard living through spatial innovation, elegant minimalism, and seamless interaction with the sea.

At 1,700GT and powered by a flexible diesel-electric propulsion system, Velor offers the comfort of a five-deck vessel within four meticulously planned levels. By relocating the engine room to the under-lower deck—a concept developed with naval architect Francesco Rogantin—the designers unlock a previously unimaginable sense of space and freedom of circulation.

Sculpting Light and Flow

Velor’s architecture is a poetic interplay of light, air, and water. Expansive open decks, see-through platforms, and sculptural staircases connect interior and exterior, offering constantly shifting visual perspectives. The yacht appears to dissolve into its surroundings, thanks to features like aft decks that dematerialize into the horizon, aided by a refined slatted brise-soleil system.

Graceful curves meet crisp lines in a design that radiates both calm elegance and contemporary boldness. Natural teak, geometric harmony, and organic forms combine to deliver a superyacht experience that is emotionally resonant and visually striking.

A Flexible Private Haven

Velor is conceived as a personal retreat as much as a floating palace. Its layout encourages moments of stillness and reconnection—whether in the open-air “water patio” beach club, the spa area, or the versatile upper deck lounges.

The water patio, a departure from conventional beach clubs, features folding side hull platforms and retractable glass panels that allow year-round enjoyment and direct contact with the sea.

From family life to entertaining, from solitude to social moments, Velor adapts. Its sun deck transforms from a children’s play nest into a serene stargazing retreat. Every space has a function—none are redundant—and all share a unified design language of balance, fluidity, and refined Mediterranean spirit.

Project Velor is not just a yacht—it’s a manifesto for a new way of living at sea, where beauty meets efficiency and innovation redefines tradition.
