NOBISKRUG_77 M BLACK SHARK
[ WORK IN PROGRESS ] [ WIP ]
T
he 77-metre M/Y Black Shark is currently on schedule to meet her 2021 delivery date. Her builder, Nobiskrug, the German shipyard, which is celebrating its 115th anniversary this year, came late to superyachts. However, its first project, the 92m Tatoosh in 2000, proved a huge success. This combined with its pledge to focus on building one superyacht at a time quickly earned Nobiskrug a reputation for quality and class. It is also renowned for innovating and pushing the boundaries of both naval architecture and design, thanks to an ability to build up to 426 metres. At last year’s keel-laying ceremony, Chief Executive Evgeniy Kochman of Imperial, the superyacht management firm representing the owner, declared M/Y Black Shark to be a major milestone for his company too, as she is the very first Imperial vessel designed with Winch Design and Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design. Black Shark’s name is reflected in her imposing dark livery and highly distinctive reverse bow which will ensure she cleaves the

waves very much like a shark on the hunt. The head-turner’s powerful dynamic exteriors are the work of design legends Winch Design, while Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design has brought a sleek contemporary vibe to her expansive interiors which are spread over three decks. There is no stinting on amenities either as Black Shark will have two luxury tenders, a very generous on-deck whirlpool, and a large beach club and spa area. It is significant too that she is being built to comply with the new IMO Tier 3 regulations and Red Ensign Group Yacht Code Part A – no small feat in itself. Nobiskrug is so excited to be working with not one but two high profile design teams and the highly experienced Imperial on this absolutely bespoke project that they have decided to provide exclusive behind-the-scenes access throughout the normally highly-secretive build process. Now that says a lot about the confidence the German yard has in its latest project. www.nobiskrug.com
