YACHTS
The upper deck includes a cinema lounge with a 75-inch
screen, as well as a bar area. The sun deck hosts a second
helm position with breath taking views and plenty of room
for sunbathing. Unusually and a first for a superyacht, the
main deck aft is devised as a massive beach club of 120 sqm
with a hot tub for 12 people and enclosed Spa area with
sauna, hammam and a convertible gymnasium of almost
40 sqm with space for a massage table. These features are
more typical of vessels twice her size.
The GTT 160 not only looks amazing but also features
advanced onboard technology. Dutch hydrodynamic
specialist Van Oossanen Naval Architects, Dynamiq longterm
partners, designed the fast displacement hull with
an aft Hull Vane foil for extra lift underway that decreases
drag and improves fuel efficiency. As a result, the yacht can
achieve a top speed of 17 knots when fitted with modest
MAN 6-cylinder (537 kW) engines.
Transatlantic crossings are possible at 14 knots and the
maximum range at an economical speed of 10 knots is
4,000 nautical miles. Those looking to priorities speed can
upgrade to the S version, which will offer a more powerful
pair of MAN V12-1800 engines for a top speed of 23 knots.
An optional hybrid system with zero-emission electric mode
can provide silent cruising at up to 8 knots.
“The idea was to create the most attractive proposal
for a superyacht of just under 50 metres.” says Sergei
Dobroserdov, Dynamiq founder and CEO. “There are so
many 50-metre yachts below 500GT available, but they all
look very similar with pretty much the same functionality.
We asked ourselves ‘What can we bring to the market that
makes more sense for our clients?’ The answer was to focus
on modern owners’ priorities and leave the less important
things aside. So we decided to design the GTT 160 with the
accent on the key factors: well-being, efficiency and price. In
terms of naval architecture, we selected a slender hull with a
long waterline that is much more efficient and comfortable
than a short, wide one. So rather than maximising the
interior volume we analysed everything an owner wants
or needs in terms of general arrangement and features. We
then arrived at a concept that provides the motion comfort
of a 55-metre yacht with a conventional flared bow.
To complete the package, the GTT 160 houses a 21-foot
tender in the forward garage and is equipped with a touchand-go
helipad platform with a maximum take-off weight
3,000 kg.
The GTT 160 can be configured at www.bedynamiq.com
with almost endless amount of options.
