Inspiration comes in all shapes, sizes, or speeds! Meet the GWP-345, a 344-foot superyacht concept that looks like a tuxedo-clad warship and draws inspiration from the legendary Blue Riband record holder, Destriero. Back in 1992, Destriero crossed from New York to the British Isles of Scilly in just 58 hours, 34 minutes, and 50 seconds, shattering the world record.
French design agency Alexander McDiarmid Design teamed up with Dutch company Ghost Yachts to reimagine and extend the Ghost G250 platform. The result? A sleek, striking silhouette powered by a more efficient high-speed propulsion system, combined with enhanced sustainability and circular design.
Step inside, and the vibe transforms completely. While the exterior feels commanding, the interior is warm and inviting. According to Boat International, the main deck houses five VIP guest cabins and a full-beam owner’s suite, making it easy to socialize without wandering around to find your crowd. This deck also features the main saloon, framed by floor-to-ceiling glazing, a cozy dining area with balconies for scenic meals, and even a swimming pool for a spontaneous dip.
The only reason to head below deck is to unwind at the beach club and wellness area, a peaceful, minimalist space infused with calming materials and a serene ambiance. Up front, a helipad graces the foredeck, while the sundeck is all about leisure with a Jacuzzi and bar. And when the sun gets too intense, a semi-rigid motorized canopy comes to the rescue.
“The GWP-345 is the concept that we simply had to do,” said Björn Moonen of Ghost Yachts. “We explored the limits of what’s possible with today’s technology and construction methods without sacrificing comfort and practicality.”
Brokerage firm Globe Regal Yachting is handling the sales and marketing of this zen-like vessel that clearly means business.
