UK-based studio Dixon Yacht Design has unveiled a 39-metre power catamaran, Aristo, designed with a flexible upper deck, allowing exploration for a multitude of uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 499GT, the full-aluminium design combines a striking orange twin hull with an expansive upper deck which, according to the studio, is capable of accommodating a helicopter, watersports equipment or even a basketball area.<\/p>\n\n\n

Spanning the 13.6-metre beam, Aristo holds a generous main saloon, designed to be close to the waterline, allowing the space to be framed by the surrounding sea through panoramic windows. A contemporary colour palette of soft beiges and light wood \u2013 showcased through minimal, low-profile furniture \u2013 creates a calming atmosphere on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al fresco living is a key design focus across the decks, featuring a host of amenities to keep guests entertained. On the main deck, a spa pool sits furthest aft to benefit from uninterrupted views; paired with sunpads and seating areas, the space creates a dedicated relaxation hub on board. Nearby, a large al fresco dining table and a bar lie beneath the upper deck overhang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up on the flybridge, another al fresco dining area crowns the yacht, paired with a bar and a second spa pool to offer an alternative lounging space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accommodation is across four guest cabins within the hulls and two main-deck VIP cabins, which can be combined to form one large owner’s suite. Alongside this, there is space for eight crew members in four cabins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Power for Aristo is provided by twin 1,300hp Scania D116 engines, expected to deliver a 13.5-knot cruising speed and 16-knot maximum speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last month, the British studio lifted the lid on OXO, a 48.3-metre motor yacht born from the desire to “rethink efficiency through a sailing yacht lens”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
