Hakvoort Shipyard in The Netherlands has announced that it has secured an order for a 44.9m (147ft) motoryacht that is due for launch in early 2011.

Designed with a displacement-type hull shape, the yacht will feature flared V-sections in the bow, large overhangs, a moderate deadrise amidships and a canoe stern. Her lines will be kept very low, in particular where the freeboard and superstructure are concerned, says Hakvoort.

When completed, the yacht will provide accommodation for up to 12 guests and another 12 crew members. The upper deck will be reserved for the owners, with a lounge that opens onto an aft space. Other highlights include a study with Pullman bed and a full-beam stateroom with luxurious his and her bathrooms.

Ensuite accommodations will also be found on the lower deck, which will contain four guest staterooms, a captain's cabin and a nanny's cabin. Crew quarters include a mess, four cabins and connections to storage areas and technical spaces.
