The first all-carbon 49m Superyacht
Launched in 2015, the charter markets “golden girl”, the 49m Supersport M/Y Khalilah holds the position as one of the most striking Superyachts out there. Firstly because of her exterior design, and secondly because Khalilah is the first all-carbon Superyacht to ever be built! The concept behind this was to “design a next-generation Superyacht that freed itself from the conventional compromises that yacht design generally seems to accept” said her owner. The end goal was to build a vessel with “exceptional operational performance and onboard experience, not incremental improvements.”
