The 122.55m (408ft) Alpine has been designed with exploration in mind. The new yacht will be able to travel in the hot and tropical conditions of the Caribbean, or in the cold and isolated climate of the Arctic regions.
Alpine features main dining, theatre, gym, library, and VIP suites on Deck One. Deck Two is designed to house the owner or special guest suit, with an access to the main helicopter pad. Deck Two accommodates a more exclusive dining area, with a lounge and bar. These elements are situated on the back deck overlooking the main pool area.
Deck Three will host more living area, with lounges on the outside deck, second helicopter pad, and the bridge. Deck Three will have further access to Deck Four, which is where another pool and sun chairs are placed for further relaxation, and guests can really enjoy the spectacular view.
Back down and under Deck One, is featured the Main Deck. This is where more guest cabins, crew quarters and living areas are located.
Alpine’s distinctive design features are a spiral stair case and a cylindrical glass elevator, which will allow access to all the decks. Two trended bays are located towards Alpine’s stern. A starboard side door will turn into a swim/dive platform. The port side will fold up to help crane Alpines tenders into the water. It will have room for a RIB inflatable, small sailing tenders and a couple of jet skis.
Alpine’s propulsion will be derived by diesel-electric, with approximately 6 by 2000kW gensets, which will power two Pod drive units. Alpine will be engineered to reach an estimated top speed of around 18 knots, and estimated cruise speed of around 15 knots.
Christopher Seymour has recently opened a design studio named Christopher Seymour Designs. Christopher has also designed a custom 36ft express sports fisher, which will be built by Lightning Yachts and will utilize the latest in exotic materials. The custom tender can be set for cruising, with clever fold in sun beds, or setup for a serious tournament day fish.
