Anthony Glasson from M51 Concepts unveiled Forge II, a follow-up concept to last year's volcano-inspired explorer yacht, Forge. This 82-meter vessel, designed for more reserved seafarers, retains the angular silhouette of its predecessor but with a touch more subtlety.

Designed inside and out by the Hong Kong studio, Forge II combines an ice-class steel hull with a lightweight aluminum structure. Unlike the original Forge's obsidian black and bright orange exterior, this vessel boasts subtle metallic grays. The interior showcases a traditional minimalist approach in the living quarters, featuring a soft color palette and natural materials. In contrast, the cabins adopt a modern aesthetic with dark surfaces and vibrant furnishings.

Forge II ditches the helipad and storage hangar in favor of a massive swimming pool on the aft deck. The main deck features a semi-enclosed dining area and lounge that can be enjoyed year-round. Outdoors, the sun deck includes a hot tub, BBQ, bar, and day beds, while the bridge deck offers a formal 14-person dining table.

Forge II accommodates up to 12 guests in two VIP suites and four twin cabins, making it ideal for charters. The VIP suites, each with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, are situated on either side of the upper deck, while the remaining guest cabins are on the main deck.

Forge II is designed to run on engines powered by Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) and batteries, offering a versatile range of 5,000 nautical miles.
