The well-known British designer Tony Castro has unveiled the concept for a 75-meter motor-sailing expedition yacht Peregrine. The vessel will be capable of cruising both under hybrid power and sail and will include solar panels to power onboard hotel loads in zero emission mode. The hybrid propulsion system provides "virtually unlimited range" for exploring remote regions and diverse climates.
According to Castro, the motor-sailing vessel significantly reduces travel costs, enhances operational efficiency, and offers guests the true pleasure of sailing without engine noise and environmental pollution. It allows for unrestricted travel, akin to the limitless freedom of a peregrine falcon in flight.
The heart of the design is the expansive aft deck, featuring a starboard alcove lounge area. This unique space includes sofas, an electric fireplace, an infinity pool, and a swim platform for easy water access or tender boarding. From here, guests can reach the upper deck and the main aft lounge beneath the helipad. A similar space on the port side houses the tender.
On the main deck are the owner's quarters, which include an office with a library, a bathroom, and a large dressing room with access to a private terrace. This deck also features a central foyer with a staircase and a main salon with glass walls. Additional guest accommodations are located on the lower deck, along with crew cabins and a cinema room, which can be converted into a conference room or an extra guest cabin for charters.
In addition to the hybrid propulsion system, the vessel is equipped with two carbon masts with in-boom furling sails.
