88m LOA High Performance Schooner Ecoyacht Concept
With an estimated 1650GT, comparable to a motor yacht of 75m LOA, this innovative schooner ecoyacht is Panama Canal transit-capable featuring twin, unstayed, carbon pivoting sail rigs with collapsible topsails. Optimized for upwind performance, gybe-dampening protection, and simplified sail control. Paired with a novel hull form design - melding the romantic age of sailing yacht classicism with the latest in hydrodynamic performance, the balanced design reflects Yacht Designer Jonathan Quinn Barnett’s mastery of his craft.

78m LOA Unlimited World-Cruising Superyacht Concept

Unique features include: Underwater Observation Lounge, custom glass elevator by Lift Emotion BV, exterior-accessible guest accommodation via lowered Promenade Deck, Winter Garden with solar panel glazing, living walls, varied temperature plunge pools, and forward exterior wellness and fitness area. The foredeck features a covered VIP/OWNER privacy lounge area (telescopic roof).

44m M/Y MUCHOS MAS
“My first charter experience in the BVIs was the best week I’d ever had,” recalls the Owner. “I want that for others. That’s what this concept is all about, from the design to the organic food. That’s why we named it Muchos Mas, which means many more — many more memories.” - Boat International
"The epitome of sophisticated, clean styling combined with subtle elegance." - Burgess Yachts
Award-winning Sun Deck: The pool, with its swim-up bar, appears huge but half of it is shallow, with moulded benches for tanning while partially submerged. A waterfall fill adds a soothing sound. Clear glass panels surrounding the sundeck will make it comfortable during early season cruising. - Boat International
Superyacht Spa Experience: A series of overhead jets pulse waves of water in a programmed pattern over a heated onyx bed for a spa-style hydro massage experience. There are also two shower heads for standard vertical showers. The glass surround on the huge onyx-walled shower area becomes opaque for privacy at the touch of a button. - Boat International
Ultimate Yacht Galley: All gleaming stainless steel galley, it has every conceivable food preparation device plus a herb garden with professional grow lights. The design keeps crew traffic and stewardesses involved in prep or course changes out of the cooking zone. Two doors provide service route options. -Boat International
While many JQB yachts remain firmly off the radar, it is no secret that Jonathan Quinn Barnett worked on the interior design of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s 126 metre Octopus. - Boat International
126m MY OCTOPUS - Interior Design
OCTOPUS can accommodate 26 guests in 13 staterooms. Exceptional amenities include a large cinema and a recording studio with a specially designed floor to damp out noise and vibration. There is also a private observation lounge, a beach club and diving deck, pool, gym, and spa and sauna.
Offering a genuine first-class experience while cruising or at anchor, OCTOPUS has plenty of space for enjoyment and activity on board. With a full owner’s deck including a private bar, jacuzzi, and outdoor dining area, this deck provides the owner with a sanctuary of privacy and security. While the yacht has two elevators servicing the guest areas, one is dedicated to the owner’s exclusive use for travel throughout the yacht with discretion and ease.

55m MY SILVER SHALIS
On the interior, her decks are served by a silent, glass-enclosed cylindrical elevator with an oil-rubbed bronze metal finish. A central staircase wraps around the elevator, featuring curved marble wall panels—a remarkable accomplishment, as all panels run vertically in a sequential vein-matched arrangement throughout the length of the stair tower.
The upper deck features an indoor/outdoor dining option for ten via a distinctive curved glass door that opens a full 180 degrees. Just one of her many unique features is an extensively outfitted gym on the sun deck with dramatic and panoramic views of the outside. The sun deck, complete with a lap pool, allows for maximum pleasure and healthy living while on board. Enchanting from every vantage point, this beautiful masterwork from Delta Marine provides unmatched luxury and adventure for her owners and guests.
