YACHTS & YACHTING 61
The interiors by Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez
On the Seadeck 9, the iconic Fun Island evolves into a full 180 ° Pool Deck whose concept lies in embracing life, at sea. The amphitheatre-shaped lounge captures every moment, directing the gaze past the pool’ s transparent glass straight to the horizon. It is an architecture of pure connection and versatility, manifested in the central table that effortlessly converts for dining.
Look at the 7-sqm transformer, a true swim platform: it lets everyone slip into the blue or simply rest effortlessly immersed in the water. The Fun Island sets the vibe and energises life on board, inviting guests to dive in, head out, and make the most of every moment in the water with Jet Ski, Seabobs and paddleboards at the ready. In an era obsessed with acceleration, Seadeck 9 carves out the ultimate luxury: space and time to live to the full.
Exterior designer Alberto Mancini’ s vision extends to the stern, keeping a strong emphasis on openness and continuity. Exterior circulation flows with intuitive simplicity, offering an elegant perspective even when viewed from the flybridge. By fully concealing the anchor, the yacht preserves a clean, uninterrupted profile that stands out as a sculptural presence against the horizon.
STEPPING INSIDE:
“ Touch with the eyes. See with the hands”
As you step inside, the magic lies in how the Main Deck acts as a natural architectural extension of the terraces, as the external lounge transforms into an unhurried interior saloon facing aft. Fullheight windows and a completely disappearing glass door continue that sense of outdoor freedom, while the generous ceiling height beautifully opens up the space.
The interiors, curated by Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez, serve as a masterful interpretation of this gentle connection with nature.
Driven by a shared vision of luxury founded on wellbeing, the duo has spent decades reshaping international architecture around principles of longevity – meaning creating designs that last physically and emotionally, empathy for human needs, and responsibility. On board the Seadeck 9, they bring this philosophy to life once more.
Right at the entrance, a Bonacina bamboo chair reflects the yacht’ s ethos. Selected by Thun & Rodriguez, its radiant summer flair bridges indoors and outdoors while harmonizing tactile warmth with minimalism. Within this balance, the entire interior design unfolds in inviting spaces played out
