Rodriguez Design studio has just unveiled its latest superyacht design, the 110-meter superyacht Malena, a towering four-deck superyacht that can accommodate as many as 24 guests and features a diesel-electric propulsion system, coupled to an Azipod system. Conceived with sharp, sleek lines, the yacht has an architectural design that focuses around a break in the wrap-around decks to starboard. This break, instead of offering deck space, is walled in glass and offers the internal volumes of amidships an unprecedented amount of natural light, and gives guests exclusive sea views.

This central break creates a balcony system not unlike residential apartments, with private balconies on the sundeck, owner’s deck, and upper deck. “With the side balcony system, we wanted to create the feeling of being on a super-luxury skyscraper. Wherever the yacht is docked or moored, the city will have a new addition to its skyline”, says Josh Rodriguez, founder of the studio.

In addition to this unusual design feature, Malena features exaggerated exterior spaces, with a massive sundeck with two 9.5-meter pools with sunbeds between them. Following to aft, there is a hydraulic swim platform, offering guests ease of access to the water.

On this main there is also a bar area forward of the pools, seating up to seven guests, and then a four-paneled door leads into the interior. Moving to the upper deck via one of the mirrored stairways, guests will find a twin seating area and a large dining table, which extends to accommodate her 24 guests. To the fore of the main deck is a certified helideck, able to accommodate an Airbus ACH 160 or similar.

Upward from the upper deck is the owner’s deck, access to which can be blocked to increase the sense of privacy. On this deck, the owner has exclusive access to an expansive aft area featuring a 2.2-meter Jacuzzi, a sun pad, and a dining area. To the fore of this deck, there is a Portuguese wheelhouse with private access for the captain.

The sundeck has been conceived as a ‘party deck’, with an open plan design concept aimed to make the whole area feel open plan and to encourage entertainment and to host all of her guests, and many more. This deck also accommodates a Jacuzzi, as well as a bar and an internal dining area that can seat as many as 16 guests for dinner.
