Vripack and Oceanco’s yacht Lily gets a curled exterior
Vripack and Oceanco’s yacht Lily has a curving exterior that mimics the shape of the flower’s petal. When viewed from the aft, the exterior reveals the form of curling leaves or petals. This design wraps around the hull, extending to the asymmetrical bow of the yacht. Lily also features a walkway starboard side and a helicopter landing pad portside. Under these spaces lie the storage for four tenders as well as a helicopter.
From the aquatic plant’s petal form, the design team also draws the look of the yacht Lily from a sailing boat. These influences emerge through the steel hull and aluminum superstructure, as well as the continuous lines throughout the water vehicle’s design. Vripack and Oceanco opt out of putting side walkways and terraces. Instead, they replace them with one-way glass windows, extending the interior spaces while letting the passengers fully view the outside.

split-level design for sight lines and more airflow
The split-level design of the yacht Lily by Vripack and Oceanco allows for sight lines and more airflow. It also highlights the curving exterior more. The water vehicle spans 331 feet, and its top deck is dedicated to the 4840 ft² owner’s split-level quarters. Here, they have their private sundeck terrace and interior lily pond, a design element that harks back to the vessel’s name. For the interior, the decks overlap to continue the split-level design.
They resemble lily’s closing petals because of their layers, which create light and shadows in the cabin depending on the time of the day. The design team uses glass to divide the spaces and reduce visual blockages, making the interiors ‘open.’ Passengers enter the yacht Lily by Vripack and Oceanco using the main deck. Here, they see the four-meter high ceiling as well as the wellness area with an integrated swimming pool, a gym, and a watersports gallery.

open-plan cinema and a children’s play ‘nest’ for the interiors
Passengers can see the wellness area, where the bar and dining area are also located, from the aft deck lounge and the balcony on the deck above. Vripack and Oceanco intend to layer the levels of yacht Lily for this reason. By doing so, they’re able to create subtle or semi-hidden spaces, unlike conventional water vehicle interiors. When passengers enter the heart of the vessel, the half decks soon visually come together through a glass mezzanine and stairway.
These stairs lead them to nine double guest cabins, each sized at 538 feet square. On this floor, passengers also find the open-plan cinema as well as the children’s play ‘nest’ which they can access through a suspended bridge. Specs-wise, the yacht Lily by Vripack and Oceanco comes with hybrid Dynafin propulsion and fuel cell technology for green-energy cruising. The setup draws upon Oceanco’s Lateral Naval Architects’ Energy Transition Platform.
