The goal of M51 Concepts is to produce “modern, stylish, and functional yacht designs” that might be realized in the future. According to Glasson’s own statement on the studio’s website, “feasible original designs that don’t have to be drastically changed when taken from the screen and into production to sailing the ocean” are the result of his extensive experience working as an engineer on vessels up to 295 feet (90 meters).
Glasson claims that the concept’s name makes clear where the inspiration for the outside designing of the new yacht came from. The design has long, curved lines that flow from bow to stern in a manner that is reminiscent of the way ocean waves travel.
Swell has a beautiful, well-proportioned design, but it also has a narrow, pointed bow that resembles an axe, which helps it cut through the water and pass over waves with less pitching.
Huge windows on Swell’s facade provide a stunning glimpse of its opulent interior designed in the penthouse style.
Outdoor areas encourage natural movement between decks and offer lots of interaction opportunities. The upper deck has a dining room that seats twelve people, a large entertainment area that revolves around a Jacuzzi, and a number of sun loungers and sun pads that guests can use to unwind and soak up the sun.
Although the internal area was designed with a minimalist approach, there are certain aspects that unquestionably elevate the vessel to a luxurious level.
