Giorgio Armani’s yacht in build, known only as “Project Metamorphosis,” is a 236-foot-long vessel currently under build at Admiral’s Marina di Carrara facilities. The third and largest superyacht owned by the famed Italian designer, Metamorphosis will differ from Armani’s other yachts with its ice-class hull, 6,000-mile range and touch-and-go helipad. The renderings of the exterior convey a hardy, world traveler.

At the same time, the interior is Armani’s own creation, defined by its open spaces, large social areas and massive owner’s deck. And, of course, decor by Armani Casa.

Whatever the yacht is eventually called, it promises to be one of the most noteworthy superyacht debuts when it launches in 2024.

Measuring 236 feet, the profile is defined by smooth surfaces, large social areas, an extended forefoot and lots of glass.

Armani mandated large social areas to distinguish the yacht from its peers, including this open upper deck with bar, and a counter-flow swimming pool.

This 1,000-sq.ft. open social area at the stern is unusual for a yacht this size.

The owner’s deck conveys the open, minimalist elegance of the rest of the interior.

The fine woodwork on this lounge was also designed to be practical, with built-in drawers.

The owner’s bedroom features a window to the sea that enhances the open space.

Even the guest stateroom offers exceptional views of the ocean. The yacht will have a total of six staterooms.
