The art of contemporary yacht design finds exquisite expression aboard Sanctuary, a 34 metre motor yacht that epitomises the finest traditions of Dutch maritime engineering. Built by the esteemed Lynx Yachts in 2013, this exceptional vessel marries meticulous technical prowess with an interior aesthetic of considerable sophistication and grace.

Main salon interior featuring high ceilings, large windows and bright open-plan living space

At the heart of Sanctuary’s appeal lies a fundamentally sound design philosophy. Her steel hull, combined with a commanding eight metre beam, provides the substantial volume and stability that discerning owners demand, yielding a gross tonnage of 287 GT. This generous displacement allows for accommodation of up to twelve guests across five generously appointed staterooms, each conceived to offer a sanctuary of comfort and refinement throughout extended voyages.

A Luminous Interior Vision

The design excellence extends throughout the vessel’s interior spaces. Weber Yacht Design has orchestrated an environment of remarkable openness and luminosity, where expansive windows and soaring ceilings transform the main salon into a gallery of light and proportion. This thoughtful spatial arrangement facilitates the intimate gatherings and leisurely repose that define the luxury yachting experience, whilst the carefully curated design language ensures an atmosphere of understated elegance that transcends fleeting trends.

Naval architecture by Diana Yacht Design underpins every technical consideration, from seakeeping characteristics to operational efficiency. The result is a yacht that performs with assured competence across ocean passages whilst maintaining the refined comfort standards expected of a vessel of her stature.
