Sunrise N681 Skyfall

Sunrise Yachts signs contract to build 68m Project “Skyfall” in a deal brokered by Worth Avenue Yachts.

The Antalya-based yacht builder will deliver John and Jeanette Staluppiā€™s nineteenth and largest project to date in 2017. Project “Skyfall”, designed by Vallicelli & Co., with an interior design by Focus Yacht Design and naval architecture by Mulder Design and OYD, is packed with new technologies.

ANTALYA, TURKEY ā€“ The confirmation of Project “Skyfall”, the outcome of months of development between the clients, the designers, the brokers and the builderā€™s teams, represents a considerable achievement for Sunrise Yachts.
Guillaume RochĆ©, Sunrise Yachts CEO, states: “It means a lot to us to be chosen to build such an ambitious project, especially for one of the worldā€™s most experienced yacht owners. It is both an acknowledgement of our achievements in the six short years of our shipyardā€™s operation, and a motivation to further pursue excellence in our standards. We are looking forward with great anticipation to this unique opportunity that is creating a floating work of art with creative and competent people.”

Worth Avenue Yachts, who have been advising the clients, will be following up on the projectā€™s construction until delivery in 2017. “There are some yachts that become game changers, that alter the desires and aspirations of future designs simply becoming ā€œthe way of the futureā€: this is one of those yachts.” stated Peter Thompson.

Project “Skyfall” is a fast-Ā­displacement, steel hull and aluminum superstructure, transtlantic luxury motor yacht designed to meet the ownerā€™s particular requirements in terms of esthetics, speed and comfort. In line with the ownersā€™ spirit of innovation that has produced many groundbreaking yachts, Project “Skyfall” will feature a host of technologies never combined in a yacht project before. To name but a few: the Voith Linear Jet propulsion system offering performance, reliability and silence and the MME micro turbines ā€“ the power generating solution of the future.

Vallicelli & Co, one of Italyā€™s most prominent naval architects and yacht designers, who combine extensive experience in both sailing and motor yachts, have created a design of remarkable proportions. Andrea Vallicelli explains: “The originality of the style, playing with harmonious contrasts between soft and rigid formal elements, is clearly noticeable in the sheer-Ā­line. Moreover, the low angle of the transom slope, reminiscent of a racing sailing yacht, and the long forward overhang help Project “Skyfall” to be a very slender yacht, although she has no less than five decks.”

The interior design is entrusted to the talent of Bremen-Ā­based Focus Yacht Design, who are currently working with the shipyard on a 63m project to be delivered next winter. Project “Skyfall” will feature a sumptuous contemporary interior, balancing a richness of dĆ©cor and a contemporary elegance complementing the yachtā€™s sleek exterior styling. Surprise features will add glamour and fun to the ownersā€™ and charter guestsā€™ onboard experience…

Frank and Bas Mulder of Mulder Design, who have developed many record-Ā­breaking yachts with the owners, will be bringing their engineering expertise to the project and help achieve the projectā€™s performance targets.

A press conference with the owners and the full project team in attendance will be held during the Palm Beach International Boat Show, March 20-Ā­23, 2014.
