Isaac Burrough Design unveils Stratos, an 80-meter motoryacht that redefines luxury with its sculptural surfaces, striking contrasts, and bold visual identity. Drawing inspiration from modern automotive design, Stratos embodies a harmonious tension between soft curves and sharp chamfers, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow that evolves with every movement."With Stratos, I wanted to capture the essence of modern automotive design, blending sleek forms with a bold, contemporary aesthetic. The result is a yacht that not only turns heads but also stands the test of time, remaining as relevant tomorrow as it is today", says Isaac Burrough.The design is accentuated by light bars that span the aft of each deck, casting a distinctive glow and emphasizing Stratos's form and presence. A striking transverse pool, cantilevered above the swim platform, adds a dramatic touch. The pool's glass bottom and aft wall allow light to filter through, creating immersive patterns and reflections that transform the platform below into an ever-changing canvas.Inside, Stratos is designed to foster a deep connection with the sea. Expansive glazing and low bulwarks ensure uninterrupted views, blurring the lines between interior and exterior spaces. The forward-facing owner’s suite, set behind the foredeck, offers panoramic vistas and private deck access. The expansive 150-square-meter beach club at the stern serves as a luxurious retreat, rivaling the size of those found on much larger yachts.The top deck continues the automotive-inspired theme with sweeping rooflines reminiscent of high-performance cars. This level is dedicated entirely to bridge, crew, and technical areas, optimizing the lower decks for uninterrupted luxury and guest experiences.Stratos redefines the relationship between yacht and environment, with its bold proportions, seamless detailing, and reimagined guest experience. The accompanying visuals celebrate the yacht's bold form and identity, focusing on light, surface, and form to present Stratos as a statement that pushes the boundaries of modern yacht design.Credits: Isaac Burrough Design

As the Invictus ST550 draws inspiration from classic motor yacht designs, the Invictus TT550 represents a significant evolution of the TT range, emerging as a must-have from Cantieri Aschenez. With enhanced open spaces and the unmistakable design touch of Christian Grande, the TT550, alongside the ST550, is set to make its global debut at the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival this autumn.Building on the success of the Invictus TT460, the TT550 embodies the vision of owners who dreamed of translating the beauty and style of the smaller model into a larger vessel. At 16.87 meters long and 5.04 meters wide, the TT550 becomes the flagship of the TT range, maintaining the defining characteristics of the TT460 while introducing reimagined forward and aft exterior spaces. These enhancements maximize the overall experience, offering even greater exclusivity.The TT550 is designed to embody the essence of the Mediterranean spirit, rather than merely serving as a luxury tender. It prioritizes outdoor spaces, with folding side terraces creating a sense of openness and freedom. The semi-reversed bow, a hallmark of all Invictus Yachts, remains a signature feature.From the stern, a submerged platform leads to the spacious living area, perfect for socializing and relaxation.The open-plan space can be transformed into a large sunbathing area, and the cleverly designed garage ensures easy access without disturbing those on the sun deck.Moving forward, the imposing carbon fiber hardtop provides protection for the dinette and galley up to the helm. A protected walkway leads to the versatile bow lounge, which is ideal for both daytime use and evening relaxation.Below deck, Christian Grande has designed two cabins (Master and VIP) with the option for the owner to choose the layout. A cozy mid-ship living area can be replaced with a third cabin or a galley, and an optional crew cabin is also available.Powered by a pair of Volvo Penta IPS engines, up to the IPS950 version, the TT550 will make its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival from September 9 to 14, 2025. Invictus Yacht will also participate in the Dubai International Boat Show from February 19 to 23. The Italian shipbuilder produced open type boats with multiple vocations. The debut production will include two ranges of leisure boats, corresponding with two types of propulsion: inboard-outboard for the “GT” series, more tending to leisure and sailing, and outboard for the “FX”, more technical and sporty.
