Designer Anthony Glasson, the creative lead at Studio M51, showcased a visionary luxury vessel named Enterprise, a concept that blends opulence with ultramodern naval architecture. The model highlights include mini-pools and a private helipad, elements that underscore a desire for resort-like indulgence at sea. This presentation first surfaced through Super Yacht Hours, signaling strong industry interest in high-end, future-facing yachting concepts.
Glasson noted that the Enterprise draws aesthetic inspiration from the famed Enterprise starship from the Star Trek franchise. Exterior details echo the vessel’s iconic lines, while the interior aims to deliver expansive, airy spaces. The proposed build is an 84-meter trimaran, a tri-deck configuration that stacks decks in vertical tiers to maximize deck area and living space without enlarging the vessel’s footprint on the water.
Designed to accommodate up to 12 guests across eight luxurious rooms, the Enterprise promises multiple relaxation zones with wide viewing angles, a fully equipped gym, several intimate pools, and a dedicated helipad for seamless transfers. The concept emphasizes a balance between private leisure and social common areas, allowing guests to enjoy panoramic views while engaging in tranquil moments far from shore.
As a concept stage project, the Enterprise remains a theoretical model, with no confirmed plans for construction. Glasson and Studio M51 continue to explore feasibility studies, performance targets, and material choices that could make the yacht a tangible asset should funding and practical constraints align. The team’s ongoing work emphasizes optimization of stability, efficiency, and guest experience in a vessel of this scale and ambition.
Earlier conversations around future yacht concepts included the Pegasus design by Jozeph Forakis, a companion example discussed when Studio designers explored how certain shapes could render a surface-sitting profile nearly invisible on the water. Peggy’s concept demonstrates how advanced hull geometry and surface treatments can influence perception, contributing to the broader discussion of stealthy, low-profile yachts in luxury design circles. This conversation illustrates the field’s fascination with blending bold form with practical performance—an ongoing dialogue within high-end maritime design. — Source: Super Yacht Hours and industry discourse
