Yacht design studios Van Geest Design and Rob Doyle Design have developed a trimaran concept that should be “the first zero-emissions yacht with a gross tonnage of over 750 tonnes.” The Domus mega yacht will be powered by a combination of hydrogen fuel cells, water production – power generation through navigation – and solar power.

The designers say this will give the yacht unlimited range and the battery storage system will allow the ship to operate at night. The ship will be completely silent with no generator noise or exhaust gases.

Van Geest Design (VGD) and Rob Doyle Design (RDD) designed the interior to create a “villa” where all the living spaces are on the same deck.

Domus is a trimaran, meaning it has three hulls, not two like a catamaran. VGD and RDD developed a vessel to find out how efficient boats in this class are compared to a catamaran.

The ship will be just over 40 meters long, but its interior space will be almost 800 square meters, which is more than four times the interior space of most single hull sailing yachts of the same length.

According to the studio, the trimaran is also easy to build and moves faster than catamarans of similar size, offering more space and more comfort. The reason why it is easier and cheaper to build is that all systems and engineering are in the central hull and do not need to be duplicated in two hulls as in a catamaran.

The studio says they’ve doubled the interior space compared to 40-metre catamarans because the ship’s functions can be organized more efficiently.

We believe that the current trend of designing large superyacht catamarans is fundamentally wrong,” said representatives of the two design studios. “We firmly believe that trimaran is the only practical solution if you want to take advantage of multihull vessels longer than 40 meters.”

All Domus’ services such as galley, laundry and crew canteen will be located in the middle hull, while the outer hulls will be used mainly for storage and the entire length of the upper deck will be given to the owner and his guests.

The main deck will feature two VIP cabins and four guest cabins, two sunshade atrium, spa, gym, swimming pool, beach platforms, cinema and seating area.

VGC and RDD said they reviewed every aspect of yacht design to create the Domus concept. “Since the idea of ​​Domus had never been thought of before, we had to highlight key features and incorporate them into the design for maximum impact,” said founder Peter van Geest. “The yacht has the same amenities as a 60-metre motor yacht, but the interaction of the spaces is completely different.”
