Ship of the Year: Viva

The yacht's consistency in all aspects earned it the 2022 Motor Yacht of the Year award at the 2022 BOAT International World Superyacht Awards. The gigantic glass structure is a prominent feature of Feadship Studio De Voogt and Azure's exterior design. The hull, painted in a special pearly white colouring, has been designed and built to be as efficient as possible and reduce engine power. According to the jury, the Viva is a ship that excels in perfection from A to Z: 'Notable are the consistent material choices, the clever use of space and the complex constructions in steel, aluminium and glass. The curved windows running the entire length of the superstructure are a technical achievement. Under the bonnet, the unique performance and collaboration of designers, engineers, builders and management are underlined with an efficient, vibration-free and quiet hybrid propulsion system.'
