Capable classic

That’s why the Commodore 57 includes a 34-foot enclosed expedition tender, a fantastic machine from which to explore.

Being the perfect companion to the mothership, this 10.4-metre craft has been called Blackthorn, after the stick a commodore traditionally carries.

Liebowitz and Partners has already proven their expertise in explorer yachts, having designed the 55-metre ice-class expedition yacht Steel, launched in 2009 by Pendennis.

The Commodore 57 and the 55-metre Steel are both classically timeless, functional and robust ships that can faithfully and safely accommodate family and guests around the world in all conditions.

With regard to the external envelope, this vessel denotes enduring aesthetics and proven maritime forms that ensure comfort both under way and at anchor.

The flared, wave-breaking bow provides safety on deck, while the heart-shaped stern guarantees a smooth ride in various sea conditions.

The combination of easy-going hullform, large yacht tenders, versatile deck spaces, effective crew circulation and logical service layout make the Commodore an effective leisure machine. The exterior has a wide range of spaces that will appeal to both large and more intimate groups.

This explorer has a logical layout and many functional elements, arranged artfully. One of her hallmarks is the transformability of some areas, such as the Aft Deck and the Sky Lounge.

The bow deck hosts one of the two spa pools aboard, a raised seating group positioned ahead of the foremast and a 5.5-metre rescue tender that can be launched in seconds using a pre-programmed robotic crane. From there, the access stairs bring the guest to the Coachroof Lounge. A walkaround observation bridge connects this lounge area to the control bridge.

The second pool lies at the heart of the leisure operation: the deck lounge. The entire owner’s party can get comfortable on this deck with pool, shaded drink bar, various sun loungers, and great views. The 4.7-metre long saltwater heated pool is a prelude to sunbathing one deck up in the Sky Lounge.

The beach club area is one deck below, and it includes a sauna as well as a treatment and massage suite. A unique clamshell stern door gives access to a teak wood swim platform. A second, bottom-hinger beach platform emerges from the port side.

Liebowitz and Partners has unveiled two proposals for the interior of the Commodore 57: light colours are the essence of the first concept, while the second is based on a darker palette.

Both solutions are ready to be customised to the owner’s requested style. LP Design blends rigorous architectural order with engaging vignettes, various finishes, appropriate detailing and insightful lighting.

The interior is detailed not as a home, but purposefully and discretely fitted out as a seagoing ship.

The owner’s personalisation is essential for creating a welcoming and pleasant atsmosphere: ideally the client would provide personal objects, which LP Design would sensitively integrate into the décor to make the yacht more of their home.

The interior of Commodore, like the exterior, features multi-use spaces: the arrival lobby serves as a drinks bar and the skylounge serves as a day lounge, reading room, formal banquet hall, or business meeting centre.
