At MTB Superyacht 2025, Allstars Design revealed two exclusive vessel concepts: Project LAYRA and Project AURA. Although distinct in tone and scale, both designs reflect the studio’s signature approach, blending technical precision with deeply human experiences at sea.
LAYRA: Sculpted Intelligence at 80 Metres
At 80 metres, Project LAYRA is a bold concept tailored to visionary shipyards and ownership-oriented clients. Scalable between 70 to 90 metres, its name stems from the vessel’s defining characteristic: a sculpted, layered profile that exposes the interdeck logic of its architecture. The result is a yacht that is not only structured and modular but visually intelligent.
LAYRA’s hull features horizontal lines and a slight bow flare, while integrated structural bands reinforce the sense of engineering clarity. Optional innovations include a solar canopy and a hydrogen-ready hull configuration, positioning the vessel at the frontier of sustainable thinking.
The layout places wellness, privacy and operational flow at its core. The Owner’s Deck offers a full-beam suite with spa, office, aft-facing dining, and direct access to a forward pool-lido and helideck. The Main Deck combines a panoramic lounge and infinity pool with VIP suites. On the Lower Deck, the beach club is uniquely positioned at the centre of the hull, directly connected to the vessel’s main vertical circulation for guests. Fold-out platforms on both sides extend the experience onto the sea while preserving the yacht’s balanced geometry.
A key highlight is the complete separation of guest and crew pathways, allowing the crew to move efficiently from stern to bow without crossing guest routes. A semi-infinity jacuzzi and grill bar crown the Upper Deck, offering a relaxed yet refined social space.
LAYRA’s exterior palette is clean and purposeful, featuring a white hull, darkened glazing and light blue detailing. The interior combines cool-toned stone, bleached oak, stainless steel and black accents.
AURA: Emotional Connection Meets Charter Potential
Project AURA, a 65-metre concept, is fluid, emotional and lifestyle-driven. With its smooth profile, bronze-tinted glass and curving hull, AURA draws on the reflective qualities of light and water. Its proportions and features are finely tuned to suit the high-end charter market as well as private use.
One of the concept’s defining features is a cascade pool on the Main Deck that gently overflows into a fully open outdoor pool at the beach club below. The beach club is equipped with foldable walk-on glass doors, a full-beam sunbathing area and a day bar, creating a seamless, immersive waterfront experience.
AURA’s layout encourages entertainment and flexibility. A forward cinema lounge, rooftop zen garden or minigolf area and adaptable social zones invite varied use. The charter-optimised accommodation includes two VIP cabins on the Main Deck and four convertible twin or double suites on the Lower Deck.
The material language is warm and tactile, featuring natural linens, pale oak, cream leathers and brushed brass accents. Externally, a warm champagne hull with wooden elements and seamless bronze glazing enhances AURA’s magnetic, contemporary presence.
Two Vessels, One Vision
Together, LAYRA and AURA represent two parallel paths in superyacht design: one grounded in modular structure and technical clarity, the other in emotional resonance and lifestyle storytelling. Conceived exclusively for MTB Superyacht 2025, they reflect Allstars Design’s drive to challenge convention and craft new benchmarks for beauty and purpose on the water.
