Imagine being a megayacht designer whose concept drawings strike the fancy of a shipyard. That’s apparently what happened with Ivan Erdevicki and his Adamantine project. This 281’5” (85.8-meter) megayacht caught the attention of Nobiskrug, which will jointly promote the project at the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show.
Erdevicki created Adamantine to showcase styling and features rarely found, primarily faceted glass. It’s fitting, given that “adamantine” means an object resembling a diamond’s luster or hardness. The way the glass panels are individually shaped, then positioned together along the megayacht’s side decks reflect far more light than usual. Combine that with rounded glass forward, and Adamantine has an even more eye-catching appearance. All of this, with the streamlined hull shape (ideally painted black or blue, for stronger contrast), convinced Nobiskrug to adopt the megayacht project and offer her to clients.
As you’d expect, the faceted glass will make for excellent views when the owner and guests are inside Adamantine. The master suite gets the master treatment for sure in this regard, having a private lounge forward on its upper level (it’s a two-deck suite) with 330-degree views. Erdevicki further has doors from the lounge lead out to a private terrace-like area. A private gym and sauna can also be included in the suite, as can a personal dining area, though naturally Erdevicki plans to arrange the six-deck megayacht’s interior according to a client’s wishes.
If the design tickles your fancy, and you do want to follow his suggestions, know that Erdevicki envisions Adamantine with six guest staterooms and 12 crew cabins, plus a captain’s stateroom. Two VIPs are on the upper deck, as are two smaller sized but no less luxurious guest staterooms. The last two guest accommodations are on the lower deck. All guests get use of a gym, cinema, sauna, and steam room, plus a central elevator and spiral staircase. The megayacht’s 46’9” (14.3-meter) beam promises good elbowroom.
Guests also get use of a helipad, while you get your own; Erdevicki penned Adamantine with space to accommodate touch-and-go operations for both, should you so wish, on the bow and the upper deck. If you’d rather there be just one helipad, either of two good-size tenders can ferry your guests from shore to your anchorage for the day. A variety of other watertoys can round out your flotilla, with PWCs and the tenders launched to the sides, via hydraulically opening hatches. This way, the transom can remain the domain of the beach club at all times, especially when the transom door folds down and extends.
Since any good concept design has some pre-engineering done, Adamantine is expected to enjoy a 5,000-nautical-mile range at best cruise, slightly slower than her 14½-knot cruise speed. Top end should be 19 knots, courtesy of twin MTU 16V 4000 diesels. Draft is a healthy 12’8” (3.9 meters).
Regardless of creature comforts, Adamantine will be built by Nobiskrug to Lloyds classification standards and meet the MCA’s LY3 requirements. She can further be all steel or feature a fiberglass superstructure.
