The 2023 BOAT International Design & Innovation Awards acknowledges naval architecture, styling, design and technology that represents innovation, engineering and sustainability. Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design is finalist for the interior design of superyachts Lusine (60m, Heesen) and Callisto (42,5m, Feadship).

The 117 metre Oceanco superyacht Infinity, formerly known as Project Y719, has officially been delivered. Infinity is both the largest yacht ever constructed at Oceanco and the largest to be built in the Netherlands.

The elegant yacht features an exterior and interior designed by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design. Y720 has a classically proportioned profile and features a prominent use of glass with the main, bridge and upper decks all wrapped by large glass windows.

The 87 Metre Feadship Superyacht Lonian's exterior design, which is characterised by a deep blue hull, plentiful stainless steel and extensive glass, was penned by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design.

Aquarius features a resolutely contemporary exterior design with a number of archetypal Feadship elements. The profile comes from the boards of the Dutch company Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, which was also responsible for the interior design.

For Heesen’s super-fast superyacht Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design was hired to design the interior. Galactica Super Nova has a unified aesthetic from top to bottom, inside and out: it’s beach-like, modern, open, light and pleasant.

Her ‘harmonious exterior lines, the sophistication of her Zen-like interior by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, and the extreme connectivity between interior and exterior’ secured the award, along with the exceptional engineering that made the full-height windows on the main deck possible.

A 183-metre hotel yacht named Project Sama set to launch in 2025 has been revealed. Designed by Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design, the project is a joint venture between luxury hotel group Aman and Cruise Saudi.

Wajer Yachts unveiled the largest yacht to join its fleet, the motor yacht Wajer 77. The new 23.5-metre motor yacht is designed by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design for clients wishing to venture out on longer journeys, with a range of 400 nautical miles.

There’s certainly something about Sander Sinot. Speaking with a smooth Dutch accent and emanating a noticeably relaxed and humble persona, Sinot nonchalantly drifts over the details whilst conversing about the intricacies of some of the most complex superyacht projects the industry has ever seen.

Fusing Japanese minimalism with hints of art deco and vast expanses of glass, the magnificent Musashi shows what can be achieved when Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, Feadship and an enthusiastic owner come together. BOAT International dives into its archives...
