Dastinas Steponenas reveals Riviera inspired 110m concept Ectheta

Young designer Dastinas Steponenas has revealed renderings of his latest 110m-superyacht concept, Ectheta.

Inspired by Sky Atlantic television series Riviera, this design is intended to be the perfect yacht for leading character Constantine Cilos, who lost his 55.4m yacht M/Y Turquoise in the opening episodes. As a result, she features a gallery for storing an extensive art collection, and an en-suite gun cabin.

Steponenas, who was the winner of the 2016 Superyacht UK Young Designer Award said of his creation, “My focus here is not the craziness of the surfaces, but opulence, which is derived from classic designs. In my opinion, this design would easily blend into a French Riviera environment.”

Ectheta’s key features include a foredeck helipad, an aft-deck infinity pool and an open-air cinema on the upper deck.

She offers accommodation for up to 16 guests across six cabins, including a master suite and VIP cabin. Crew quarters accommodate a staff of up to 35, including auctioneers and art galley curators.

Her propulsion system has not yet been disclosed, but Ectheta is designed to achieve a top speed of up to 19 knots, with a range of 5,000nm at 12 knots.
