A yacht that's goal is to provide charter guests with an unforgettable holiday is what Vripack, a leading full service design, naval architecture, engineering and brokerage organization based in The Netherlands, launched in August.

To achieve this objective, not only is this new 180-foot yacht design equipped with all the expected toys, it boasts decadent flourishes. For example, there are four massive guest rooms on the lower deck. The main deck features two VIP staterooms with separate baths that are cleverly designed around the man height windows, which give a unique in-out side feeling. There's also a disco and dance floor, health spa and fitness center aft on the top deck, along with a stream pool.

Ship motions, vibrations and related seasickness have a huge impact on the guest. Subsequently this is a strong focus point in the design process. Vripack optimized the hull form to avoid vibrations due to slamming and evaluated the roll response with active fin stabilizers. Model tests fine-tuned the anchored condition in a swell like environment triggering a resonant roll response. Also the comfort levels during transit in a moderate sea environment have been mimicked.
