LYNX YACHTS UNVEILS INTERIORS OF CROSSOVER 27 YACHT AVONTUUR
The Dutch shipyard , Lynx Yachts , has revealed the first interior images of its flagship Crossover 27 superyacht Avontuur , ahead of her hotly-anticipated debut at this year ’ s Cannes Yachting Festival .
Lynx Yachts ’ Crossover 27 model brings together the best of two worlds : offering the robustness , versatility and generous storage space of a support vessel alongside the comfort and elegance of a superyacht . This makes her ideal for the next generation of adventurous owners who want to make the most of their time at sea through watersports or exploration . The vessel ’ s concept design and engineering were completed in-house and she features exterior design by Dutch studio Bernd
Weel , interiors by the French designer Franck Darnet and naval architecture by the Alkmaar-based studio Diana Yacht Design .
Measuring 27.3 metres and delivered to her owner earlier this year , Avontuur is the first Crossover 27 to be built by Lynx Yachts , incorporating numerous custom elements into her layout to meet the requirements of her outdoorsy American owner . Befitting her name ‘ Avontuur ’ ( the Dutch word for adventure ), the concept behind the vessel was to maximise tender and toy storage , whilst still keeping the look and feel of a superyacht .
Franck Darnet explains the concept behind the interior design : “ We were aiming to create something which is pleasant to live on , not just to look at . This is a very important through-line in all of our designs , as I am also a sailor so have spent a lot of time on a boat over the years ! Not only this , but we wanted to create something which uses the best quality materials , but is still easy to maintain and durable .”
