New details and renderings have been released of Admiral’s 66 metre in-build yacht GC Force 66.

Started on-spec, the yacht is due for delivery in 2023 and offered for sale with Burgess and FGI Yacht Group . 

Key features include a 10.6 metre beam, three metre draft and large 1200GT interior penned by Mark Berryman , who previously penned the interior of Admiral’s 65 metre superyacht Life Saga .

The GC Force 66 features a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, with exterior design and naval architecture courtesy of Nuovi Cantieri Apuania .

A huge winter garden is described as a “standout feature” on board. Located on the main deck, the garden “flows” aft through folding doors to a large sunpad and bar. Sliding doors forward lead into the main saloon.

A touch and go helipad sits on the sun deck with steps leading down to a raised Jacuzzi. Sliding doors lead to a bar, oven, BBQ and DJ station.

On the lower deck, the beach club fitness centre opens on all three sides to maximise the connection to the sea. A swimming pool, sauna, steam room, mud room, “emotional shower” and scuba diving store also sit on the lower deck.

Home › The Fleet › Qilak 66

End 2018 we delivered custom sailing yacht Qilak 66, to its Belgian owners – father, son and daughter – in the port of Zeebrugge. Safety and robustness were important criteria for them. This is reflected in the design by Owen Clarke Yacht Design from England. It features a collision bulkhead in the forepeak, 10 mm ice reinforcement skin plates, an ice-girder and 5 watertight doors. The ship is built to sail with guests in high latitude areas, pole to pole as the owner puts it. The chartering will initially be done from Tromsø in Norway, from where the yacht will put into Spitsbergen, Iceland and Greenland. The ultimate goal is to sail to the Southern Hemisphere and navigate the Beagle Canal in southern Chile and Argentina.

Owner and captain Phil said on delivery: “Forty years of dreaming, four years of planning and now, after one and a half years of building, the time has finally come. This is one of the best days of my life! To do this together with my son and daughter is very special for me, and I really look forward to making fantastic trips aboard Qilak and showing guests the beautiful world in the North and far South.” The beautiful scenic photos shown here from one of those charter trips to Spitsbergen were made by www.andyexplorestheworld.com.

Route 66 // ISA Yachts

The ancona-based shipyard isa yachts presents the route 66 currently under construction and scheduled for delivery in spring 2017..

The project name ROUTE 66 is based on the famous highway route in the United States which was a 4.000 KM street from Chicago (Illinois) to Santa Monica (California).  The name embodied freedom, which is also the concept of this motor yacht concept without compromising the space and comfort that the owner would expect from a steel and aluminum displacement yacht. The overall beauty of yachts over the years has been lost to interior space, on the contrary ROUTE 66’s offers space for owners who love the sea and like to be outside.

Key Features: Elegant lines with balanced proportions of the superstructure Sleek hull increasing efficiency and motion comfort Large outdoor spaces on all three decks – Very spacious beach club including complete wellness center

ROUTE 66 is a motor yacht with lots of space in relation to the total volume and her lines are sleek and graceful. The design does not achieve extra deck space by stacking the decks, there is not the piled-up effect – one layer after the other, the philosophy of the whole concept is to guarantee the owners space and comfort they would expect.

Developed from the 65m Granturismo platform, this full displacement yacht is a 4-decks vessel with an aluminum superstructure and steel hull which architectural structure is based on a strong contrast between the harmonious and curvaceous lines of the decks and the rigorous and diamond-like geometry of the transom and of the sundeck. The hull shape and bow are optimized for both efficiency and comfort. Her 11-meter beam confers ROUTE 66 a sleek and elegant line.

The interior layout emphasizes the osmosis between indoor and outdoor areas. The main deck saloon presents the idea of a lounge which opens to the cockpit with a unique perception of spaces. The dining room, situated forward of the salon, totally enjoys the light coming from the full height side bulkhead windows. The enormous beach area can be easily shaped as a real sensorial SPA, as the layout easily allows a sauna, an emotional shower, and hammam.

The interior layout is completed by the 5 guest cabins plus the master suite so that ROUTE 66 can accommodate 12 guests. Forward the flush deck can easily enclose an helipad. Mooring area and tender garage for 8m-rescue tender and jet skies are underneath this area. The main tender garage is located starboard on the lower deck opposite to the gym.

Powered by 2 CAT engines, this 66M designed by Andrea Vallicelli, can reach 18 knots max and cruises at 16 knots. Thanks to a spectacular stern and an aggressive plum bow, this outstanding 66 meters is destined to become an icon yacht in its segment.

The naval architecture is developed in-house by ISA Yachts Technical Department.

The Kraken Standard

When it comes to equipment specification we’re raising the standard here too. That’s why all Kraken’s come loaded with the equipment we know you’ll want and need.

All other boat builder’s ‘standard’ will require the owner to add another 20-40% to the cost of the boat to bring it up to a reasonable specification for the task of world cruising.

At Kraken, our standard means you’ve already got everything and you don’t need to spend another Dollar, Euro or Pound to sail off the delivery dock to anywhere in the world.

Here's just some of the equipment you get, you’d never expect as standard

Build Specification

10 features included with every kraken, one piece hull and integral zero keel.

All Kraken’s comprise of a one piece hull and integral Zero Keel which houses a sealed lead ballast bulb.

The hull lay up is built using 17-22 layers of composite engineered fabrics bonded together by vinyl-ester resins. The general hull thickness is a minimum of 15mm. Aramid fibre composites (Kevlar) is also used in all impact areas, the bow stem, the front of the keel and the keel base.

The hull topsides incorporate 25mm closed cell foam, the FRP foam sandwich which extends from 40cm (16″) above the waterline to deck level. This structure improves insulation and overall hull form rigidity. A Kraken’s hull and structures exhibited no flexing.

ALPHA™ Rudder System

The rudder and steering system is the most vulnerable element of any yacht, in recognition of this, the Kraken engineering and design team have developed the world’s safest rudder and steering system.

The rudder is fully protected and supported by a full length skeg with an integral stainless steel beam, which has at its foot the first rudder bearing. The 3 ¾” (82mm) rudder stock has a second (main) bearing at its centre as it passes into the hull at the transom. This bearing is accessible and removable from the inside of transom. Even at sea!

The rudder stock has a removable third bearing at the top inside the stern lazarette. The rudder itself, comprises an integral stainless steel armature, which is welded to the stainless steel rudder stock. It is then finished and faired using FRP/vinyl-ester. 

Solid crash zone at bow waterline

A heavily reinforced ‘solid crash zone’ below the anchor chain locker, incorporating high density closed cell foam with substantial reinforcements in aramid fibres extends from above the waterline to 40cm below it. This solid area runs through to the first sealed bulkhead providing maximum collision protection.

Structural frames and stringers

All longitudinal and latitudinal structures are individually bonded in during the hull layup stages with no prefabricated structural components . The video below explains how the structural frames and stringers work on a Kraken Yacht.

All bulkheads are vacuum infused FRP with 25mm structural foam core. No plywood is used. There are two watertight sealed bulkheads forward, one between the anchor locker and the forward lazarette and a second one between the forward lazarette and the interior. A further watertight, sealed bulkhead at the stern divides the interior from the aft lazarette.

The structural bulkheads are fully bonded into the hull stringers & frames.

Deck Structure

The deck is vacuum infused FRP using composite fibres and vinyl-ester resin with a structural foam core. This provides high levels of rigidity and insulation. 

The deck structure is single-skin FRP around the base of all deck fittings.

The outside finish of the deck is panelled non-slip gelcoat with Flexiteek side decks and cockpit sole as standard. 

Integral Kraken moulded safety bulwark

All Kraken have an Integral moulded safety bulwark with concave internal surface for superior deck safety at sea.

Saloon/coach roof windows

Ultra-high impact-resistant laminated glass is used in the wrap-around saloon windows and port lights so that accidental damage will not result in water ingress to the interior.

Hull Finishes

Standard hull gelcoat colour is Signal White. Many colour options available at owners choice. 

Double line boot top in Alwgrip to owners colour choice.

3 x coats of primer and sealer applied below the waterline before standard antifoul in dark grey, other colour choices available.

Build standard and certification

All Kraken’s are designed and built to exceed ISO CE RCD Category ‘A’

Key Features

All of our yachts include some of the best-designed features available on a new sailing yacht today and the Kraken 66 is no different.

The Zero Keel™

Super Yacht 66-Meter Catamaran “Hodor” : A Toy Box

Hodor is a 77-meter-long catamaran built to accompany one of the world’s largest superyachts. This all-aluminum support boat includes all of the nautical equipment needed for a day on the water as well as a luxurious and sophisticated design. It’s a floating dream for adventure enthusiasts and thrill-seekers.

Introducing the Hodor catamaran

At 66 meters long, Hodor is the world’s largest “shadow cat,” designed to efficiently store, maintain, launch, and recover superyacht toys. Australian naval architect Incat Crowther, best known for designing high-speed catamaran ferries, created Hodor based on an all-aluminium 55-meter fast ferry platform. The hull has been stretched by 11 meters to accommodate the toys and exact specifications of the 17 full-time crew members who keep the yacht running on a day-to-day basis.

The interior of Hodor is as impressive as the exterior, with high-end furnishings and a fully stocked bar. The guest lounge walls and staircase feature laser-cut Corian panels with Moorish design. The crew quarters are also spacious, with light-filled, open-plan communal areas and generous cabins with full-sized bathrooms.

Toys on board Hodor

Hodor is packed with all sorts of toys, there are nine jet skis, four Yamaha quad bikes, two Yamaha side-by-side ATVs, four Yamaha TW200 trail motorcycles, two Laser dinghies, and one Hobie Cat stored in the huge garage below deck. Additionally, there’s a Seamagine Aurora-3 submersible, which is yet to be delivered, and a 17-meter Nor-Tech 560 Sport center console, which takes the spot of the largest beast on board.

The vessel is designed to accommodate big and bulky items such as the Nor-Tech, which can be safely handled thanks to Incat Crowther’s existing catamaran design. The design also allows for a fast launch and recovery system, which is scalable to a suitable size, allowing the chase boat to be launched easily and quickly between the catamaran hulls.

On the top deck, guests can find a 7.3-meter Novurania catamaran RIB, a nine-meter Metal Shark landing craft, a 16-meter Hydra-Sports 53 center console sports boat with quad Seven Marine 627 engines, a Ski Nautique, and a 388 Skater race boat, capable of a genuine 240km/h. The collection of toys ensures that even the most adventurous guest will be entertained. 

The fun isn’t limited to water activities; Hodor features a dive room stocked with oxygen, Nitrox, and compressed air, and an emergency decompression chamber, stretcher, and triage area. There is also a petrol room capable of holding 7,500 liters of fuel and an engineer’s workshop to keep all the toys running smoothly.

Hodor is a floating dream come true, a true amalgamation of a luxury superyacht and a thrill-seekers’ paradise. With all its toys, it surely is one of the most unique vessels ever built.
