If you’ve imagined a cigar lounge for yourself at sea, plus multiple areas to watch movies, RMK Marine has a project of interest. She’s an explorer yacht called the 55m XXL, measuring 180 feet. The steel hull is already finished, too, to save construction time.
RMK Marine and Hot Lab Yacht & Design based the yacht on a previous collaboration from a few years ago. That was the RMK 5000 concept, a long-range cruiser. Similarly, the 55m XXL has extra-long range: 6,000 nautical miles at 12 knots. The figures are based on power from twin MTUs. However, RMK Marine can recalculate them if you select alternative engines.
Certainly, though, you’ll keep the 12-person and 16-crewmember capacity. Hot Lab Yacht & Design has a suggested arrangement that boasts the above-mentioned cigar lounge. With the cinemas, the sky lounge serves as one, while a dedicated cinema on the main deck serves as the other. Better yet, this dedicated cinema leads out to the pool and alfresco lounging space. More than 7,535 square feet (700 square meters) of space aboard the 55m XXL is for you and your guests to enjoy. Of that, 3,229 square feet (300 square meters) is outdoor space. Given a beam of 40 feet (12.2 meters), inside and outside areas should feel plenty spacious. Hot Lab Yacht & Design has additionally specified wide side decks for the crew’s convenience.
Speaking of space, you might consider having three generous guest suites instead of five. You might also like to have two of them on the main deck, near the cigar lounge (or library, if you don’t smoke). Be sure to keep your suite forward on the 55m XXL’s upper deck. Panoramic views are yours to enjoy.
So, too, is the spa, with a steam room and massage area, on the lowest deck. Furthermore, you and your guests get a beach club. It gains additional usable space when the tender to starboard and forward is in the water.
