New project of philippe briand will be built at lurssen shipyard
The boat is built in Alustar, a material superior in strength to aluminum. The total focus of the architect on efficiency has led to an extraordinary optimization of the required propulsion power. The yacht reaches top speed at more than 20 knots and has a very comfortable cruising speed of 18 knots. The boat’s fuel consumption is half that of a conventional yacht of identical size. Her range, as a consequence, is as far as 4,000 miles at 15 knots; more than enough to cross an ocean.
Vitruvius is an ocean going vessel. She is in total harmony with her environment, providing a delightful experience to her owner and his guests. She is powerful, but remains totally manageable. The owner can easily take command, as the best spot on the boat has been chosen for the wheel station. From the flying bridge, he has 360° vision.
The salon, the cockpit area and the aft terrace flow together in a spacious area of 8.5 meters wide by 18 meters long. Under a tropical sun, a shaded area opens up to the guests. Under a breeze, the translucent sides of the salon accommodate easy living in a protected setting but still provide the feeling of being outside.
For the owners’ comfort, his spacious suite has been located midship and fills the total width of the yacht. The result is a master suite of exceptional dimensions where one is always at ease during crossings.
The boat easily accommodates 10 guests in very comfortable and luxurious surroundings. All service areas (crew area, galley, technical zones and engine room) are equipped to the customary standard for a 180-foot yacht.
Her silhouette is low and sleek. The minimalist shapes and her strong lines create a very particular feel from the inside. Mostly, however, they contribute to her flawless integration with the environment. The yacht moves in the water with total harmony; the guests are at all times close to the water and can experience its freshness in total safety. The vast platform aft of the boat provides very natural access to the sea. The sunbathing area and the plunge pool on the front deck provide an excellent spot to relax.
The sea is of course the perfect recreation area, and all the desirable toys are readily accessible on board. Tender, jet skis, water skis and even a laser can be stored in the garage.
The yacht is efficient and its drag minimal. This results from a displacement well below 400 t and a low windage. The whole design is geared on this aerodynamic feature. The superstructure is streamlined and reduced to three decks (lower deck, main deck, flying bridge). The vertical center of gravity has been radically lowered: this has allowed the designer to reduce the surface of stabilizers - a step which additionally reduces drag.
Vitruvius is a new concept to experience cruising in a totally harmonious way:
Connectivity - The guests live close to the water and enjoy a large living area on the main deck.
Efficiency - There is less displacement and windage than on any other motor yacht of this size in the world. The ratio between energy and performance has been optimized to its maximum. A Safe Haven - Comfortable cruising is ensured as the motion of the yacht is reduced because the center of gravity is lower and rolling and pitching is limited. A Piece of Art - The outstanding aesthetic, the sketched lines, the flush deck and the very clean look create an unmatched purity of design. Vitruvius is the result of proven experience, passion for design and devotion to flawless execution. This distinctive yacht definitely announces a new era in yacht design.

Vitruvius is a brand new design project developed by Philippe Briand and Lürssen Yachts. Philippe Briand, who has mainly concentrated in the past on sailing yachts, has drawn a very innovative 180-foot motor yacht, which at first glance gives the impression to be a sailing yacht. In co-operation with Lürssen, this new project was presented for the first time at the Monaco Yacht Show.
