The Design
About Goldfinger Jaht
Goldfinger është një koncept mega jahti 65 metra i gjatë me një profil të jashtëm të ulët dhe të skulpturuar. Një brez i vazhdueshëm xhamash anësorë shtrihet përgjatë gjithë gjatësisë së anijes. Xhamat sjellin dritën e ditës në hapësirat kryesore të brendshme dhe ofrojnë pamje të gjera të detit. Trupi i anijes është ndërtuar nga seksione blloqesh çeliku të salduara, ndërsa kuverta e tretë e sipërme është prej alumini për të reduktuar peshën e pjesës së sipërme dhe për të përmirësuar stabilitetin. Hapjet e mëdha të dritareve mbështeten nga një strukturë e kujdesshme kornizash që e mban trupin e çeliktë të fortë dhe të papërshkueshëm nga uji. Katër kuverta përmbajnë zona sociale, kabina private dhe hapësira të hapura në natyrë.

- Unique Properties
- Goldfinger is a contemporary superyacht concept defined by a low, sculpted profile and a continuous ribbon of glazing that floods interiors with natural light while preserving privacy. Efficient hull lines and integrated terraces enhance seakeeping and outdoor living, delivering a discreet yet powerful presence underway and at anchor.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Name: Goldfinger. Type: 65 m mega yacht. Length overall: 65 m, beam: 11,500 m. Construction: steel hull; aluminium upper third deck. Decks: lower deck, main deck, upper deck and open sun deck. Key feature: extensive full length side glazing for high daylight and panoramic sea views.

- 65m megayacht, Goldfinger, panoramic windows, steel hull, aluminium superstructure, contemporary exterior design, lightweight topside, indoor outdoor connection, naval architecture, yacht concept design
- Production Technology
- Steel hull fabricated in welded blocks sections, aligned on the building berth and fully seam welded. The upper third deck is aluminium to reduce topside weight and improve stability. After structural completion, all piping systems like fuel, fresh, grey, black water, tanks, hvac and electrical cableways are routed and fixed in place. Final phase: insulation and full interior outfit like bulkheads, ceilings, floors, furniture and finishes.
- Design Challenge
- The hardest challenge was integrating the full length side glazing while keeping structural stiffness, safety and buildability. large openings in a steel hull require careful framing, watertight detailing and compliance with class fire rules, while the aluminium upper deck had to minimize topside weight without compromising strength. The design balanced aesthetics, stability and production feasibility.
- Research
- Type of research: applied design research. Research objectives: define a 65 m concept with strong sea connection and balanced topside weight. Methodology: iterative exterior space studies and feasibility checks. Data collection and research tools used: reference benchmarking, 3D cad, naval architecture inputs. Results: full length glazing and lightweight upper deck strategy. Insights and Impacts: brighter interiors, stronger indoor outdoor experience. Effect: improved user comfort and perceived space.
- Inspiration
- Goldfinger takes its name from the iconic Sean Connery 007 film. Drawing on my experience as a mega yacht design supervisor, I develop new concepts where expansive sea facing glazing creates a direct, continuous connection with the horizon. The sculpted, low silhouette and long ribbon windows maximize daylight, enhance views, and balance privacy with a bold, contemporary presence.
- Project Duration
- The project was developed as a concept from February 2025 to January 2026 in Venice, Italy.
- Operation Flow
- Goldfinger is operated by a professional crew from the bridge; guests simply move through the yacht’s decks and outdoor areas. The large side windows bring daylight and sea views into the main interior spaces, making inside and outside feel connected. Daily flow is intuitive: arrival, social areas on main deck, private cabins on lower deck, relaxation on upper and sun deck.
