Now for something distinctly different. The 75-metre (247ft) KENSHO is a remarkable yacht that throws convention out of the window (and into the sea) with a unique approach to design and layout that makes clever use of asymmetry and embraces the unexpected to create extraordinary living spaces on every level, with a real sense of fun. She’s designed to host 12 guests in eight highly configurable cabins.

The walkways are unusually wide, creating an almost open plan layout of living spaces when the interconnecting doors are left open, and the ceilings are almost 9ft (2.7m) high throughout the interior, which gives a great feeling of abundant space. `The décor is bright, soothing and sophisticated. Warm hardwoods, soft lighting and Asian-inspired detailing combined create a finely crafted and intricately decorated, yet calming, uncluttered and exceptionally comfortable home where you can’t help but relax and breathe deeply.

One of the stand-out spaces on board is the main saloon – located on the upper deck – with floor-to-ceiling windows. It’s divided by a broad walkway into two halves: an aft-facing, sociable lounge that spills out onto the upper aft deck, and a forward-facing observation lounge with a spectacular 180° sweep of glass. The dining room is equally impressive with twin six-seat tables beneath an immense chandelier and display cases of rare sea life artefacts.

The sun deck has a glass-fronted jacuzzi facing forward with a commanding vantage point over the sea and ample shade from the hardtop above. It’s a perfect place to relax, watching the coast slip by. There’s an enclosed lounge up here too, which transforms into a cinema and a well-shaded living and dining area facing aft, with incredible night lighting. Another great feature is the swimming pool, almost at sea level, next to the bathing platform on the lower deck. There’s also a dedicated, well-equipped gym and KENSHO is an RYA-approved watersports centre with jet skis, e-foil boards, e-bikes and more.

The owner’s suite is simply sublime, with four large rooms that occupy the front half of the main deck. The master cabin flows into a big private lounge, which in turn leads into a dressing room and study. Another door from the cabin leads into a huge en suite bathroom with a free-standing bathtub as its central hub. Come on board and prepare to be amazed.
