It’s no mystery that beach clubs have become a popular addition to luxury yachts, but the one that adorns the new megayacht Indah is unique. In actuality, it resembles an epic waterfront entertainment venue with sufficient space for you, your friends, and even your friends’ friends to appreciate.
The beach club is the focal point of the 394-foot design, which was conceived by the Opalinski Design House. The vessel has a steel hull, an aluminium superstructure, and a perpendicular bow that pierces waves. It also incorporates origami-like engineering to increase space in the rear.
The patented design features rotating transom bulkheads that expand to expose additional superstructure. These extended decks are then elevated to the same level as the swim platform to form an expansive beach club. This area has sunpads for seaside lounging, as well as a gym and sauna that are discretely concealed behind translucent glass. Seafarers will also have direct access to tenders, which will be able to dock next to the bulkheads’ apertures.
Beyond the beach club, the “beautiful one” (Indonesian: Indah) boasts a vast 5,500 GT interior and an abundance of luxurious amenities. She can accommodate 24 visitors in 12 cabins, one of which is a spacious owner’s suite with its own private aft deck balcony. She can also accommodate 32 crew members.
In addition, Indah provides a foredeck jacuzzi with loungers and a retractable sunshade, a sizeable aft pool that overlooks the beach club, and an assortment of water toys. Additionally, owners have the option to add a helicopter landing platform and hangar for additional exploration at sea.
Indah, marketed as a “true ocean-going vessel,” will be equipped with a diesel-electric propulsion system for greener and more efficient ocean travel. She will be propelled by four MTU16V engines that collectively produce a maximum speed of 24 knots and a range of 7,000 nautical miles. Additionally, she will be equipped with solar-generating surface coatings and vertical wind turbines to produce renewable energy.
Although Indah is presently just a concept, the company is offering licences for the rotational transom bulkheads to select manufacturers. Consequently, there may be an increase in the number of enormous seashore clubs in the future.
