BIG FISH receives Judges Commendation – Best Motor Yacht Under 500GRT at the World Superyacht Awards 2011
Following her award as Winner of the Best Innovation Under 50 Metres at the World Yachts Trophy 2010, and Winner of the Most Innovative Yacht Design of the Year at the Boating Asia Awards 2011, BIG FISH has now been awarded the Judges’ Commendation – Best Motor Yacht Under 500 GRT at the World Superyacht Awards 2011 which recently took place in London.
Conceived by Aquos Yachts, BIG FISH is a luxury expedition yacht combining the best attributes of a strong long-range motor vessel with the comfort, stability and amenities of a traditional luxury yacht. BIG FISH can welcome up to ten guests in ecological but luxurious surroundings. Using leading-edge design and innovative materials BIG FISH has redefined expeditionary-style yachting.
The interior has been designed in a light and neutral style, using materials that have been carefully selected to have minimum impact on the environment. The main salon features a wealth of comfortable seating to relax in, while full height windows throughout the area as well as sky lights above bring the outside in.
The adjoining dining area continues the light and modern theme and features a round table for guests to dine on the exquisite delights of the chef. The neighbouring full beam galley is spacious and well designed, also featuring large windows and even a seating area for guests to watch the chef at work.
The Master Cabin is located on the bridge deck and features its own outdoor area with sunpads that can be raised, lowered or converted to an al fresco dining area for relaxing and dining in privacy. Floor to ceiling windows surround three sides of the master cabin offering uninterrupted views from the king sized bed.
The four luxury guest cabins are located on the lower deck and can be converted from four queens to two large full beam VIP suites providing guests with a number of options for accommodation. All guest cabins feature ensuites and are luxuriously appointed and decorated in a light and modern style.
BIG FISH also offers a well equipped gym to enable guests to exercise while on board, the gym features several machines from the technogym range. A more unusual feature is yachting’s first video wall located in the atrium. This video wall spans three levels of the open plan atrium and can be used to display any video or even create a virtual aquarium.
Outside, BIG FISH offers an abundance of outdoor space for guests to relax and unwind. The top deck features a large Jacuzzi and sunpad area for catching the sun’s rays, while a permanent bimini offers shelter over a dining area for up to ten guests, a bar and barbeque area, perfect for entertaining.
The decks on BIG FISH are revolutionary; being one of the first to be made completely from epoxied granite and therefore are much more environmentally friendly than traditional teak. The decks are comfortable to walk on, didn’t harm the world’s tropical rain forests to be produced, are easy to maintain and very durable, even if guests want to wear high heels onboard!
Other unusual features on BIG FISH include a crow’s nest for guests to relax and watch the world go by with 360 degree views, as well as side opening aft bulwarks which can be combined with the swimming platform to create a 14m wide “beach” around the aft deck. This is the widest swim platform of any yacht under 65 meters.
The 8.2m Triple Ripple is the custom designed tender for BIG FISH which enables guests to explore even further. One of the most stable and secure tenders ever built, Triple Ripple will allow you to fish, dive, snorkel, surf and ski in safety, comfort and style. The tender is cleverly stored underneath the foredeck and can be easily launched using a specially designed hydraulic crane system. Other toys stored neatly in their own garages include two RS Feva Laser dinghies and six kayaks.
