The 388-foot Livao has a sleek black hull. approximately the previous century, the five-production hall German yard has delivered approximately 6,500 vessels. Livao is its largest luxury superyacht.

Joseph Dirand Architecture created the interior and exterior. The Parisian business prioritized technical features without compromising silhouette. The crew chose inconspicuous underwater anchors instead of anchor pockets. A&R claims they improve efficiency and mobility.

“I wanted this boat to be timeless, elegant, pure, thine, classic, contemporary with a large amount of outdoor space to be immersive with the surrounding landscape,” designer Joseph Dirand said. “This is what I see today—the black hull is really spectacular and looks completely monolithic.”

Livao’s 55-foot beam accommodates 12 guests and 33 crew in its spacious interior. It’s also well-equipped. The Neptune Lounge’s large underwater window offers stunning views of the world below sea level. The mast’s crow’s nest provides more views. The main deck has a 40-foot marble-clad pool that can be moved to the upper level. A sky deck helipad and a sundeck luxury alfresco lounge are other highlights.

A seven-person Triton sub, three tenders, and other water toys may be stored in the larger main deck garage of the yacht Livao, which also has capacity for a 52-foot day boat. As a cherry on top, Livao is able to house a whole arsenal of watercraft.

Livao also excels. A diesel-electric propulsion system with two 2,200 kW electric motors, two 2,240 kW Caterpillar main generators, and three 599 kW auxiliary generators powers the hybrid. The boat can reach 18 knots and 7,100 nautical miles at 15 knots. A&R also reports quiet seas.
