The 109 Metre (357ft) “Bravo Eugenia”, rumored to be owned by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, was one of the most remarkable 100+ metre launches of 2018. Built by celebrated Dutch Shipyard Oceanco, Bravo Eugenia marks a milestone for the Omani owned shipyard; whose ever increasing fleet of remarkable yachts has made the firm one of the most sought after builders.
“Project Bravo” as the yacht was then known while under construction, is characterized by her LIFE Design; that stands for Lengthened, Innovative, Fuel efficient and Eco-friendly. All of which characteristics stand at the forefront of cutting edge Giga Yacht design.
Bravo Eugenia’s particular standout features include a unique slim hull design with a 16.3 metre (53’6ft) beam, which still benefits guest accommodations by offering generously proportioned living areas. The vessel also enjoys a single level, yet very long engine room that is a result of the yacht’s slender hull. This hull design allows for superior propulsion and reduced power demand.
With a sharp exterior design by the world class team at Nuvolari Lenard, Bravo Eugenia is certain to turn heads around some of the world’s most prestigious ports. Naval Architecture and engineering for the vessel was completed by Lateral. Bravo Eugenia completed sea trials with flying colors in rough Winter conditions back in November, and was delivered to her owner over the holiday season.
“The excellent sea keeping and performance demonstrated during Bravo’s sea trials confirmed that the LIFE Design qualities are indeed embedded in Bravo’s DNA,” stated James Roy, Managing Director of Lateral. “Coupled with her hybrid propulsion system, Bravo delivers exceptional performance and is configured to offer multiple operational modes, each matched to the variable operating profile of a yacht designed to adventure autonomously across the world’s oceans.”
Although Bravo Eugenia is massive in size, Nuvolari Lenard has created a stunning yacht with proportions that remind us of the firm’s work with Palmer Johnson. The sharp aggressive lines and low profile standout in a segment of yachts that typically consist of massive width and height. “This new style will certainly create a new design stream,” said Carlo Nuvolari of Nuvolari Lenard.
Little is known of Bravo Eugenia’s Reymond Langton designed interior, however, we do know that the yacht’s modern and sophisticated interior showcases ample use of light maple wood, white pearl lacquer, and contrasting accents of walnut and ebony throughout. Bravo Eugenia’s lower deck offers guests a luxurious beach club, gym, and spa that includes a massage room, steam room, sauna, and plunge pool with rain shower.
“We worked very closely with the Owner to find the perfect artisans and craftsmen in creating bespoke artworks, fabrics and signature furniture pieces that reflect the Owner’s style and essence and combine to create a warm, inviting environment for all on board,” said Pascale Reymond of Reymond Langton Design.
Additional stand out features of Bravo Eugenia include two helicopter landing platforms fitted to both the foredeck and the aft deck, as well as an over sized tender garage to accommodate a large collection of water toys.
“Oceanco credits the success of this extraordinay new benchmark yacht to the dedicated team effort of all individuals at Oceanco, Lateral, both design studios, Burgess, and the Owner’s team”, said Project Director Edske Smit of Oceanco.
