On their largest Elite Flybridge 22-metre Motoryacht.
Weber Marine in Gulf Harbour has commenced construction on their largest Elite flybridge motor yacht to date, a 22-metre marvel that combines cutting-edge engineering with custom luxury. The yacht will be built using epoxy resin, E-glass, and PVC foam core over a male mold, ensuring a vessel that is both lightweight and robust. Nina Heatley of Cleaver Fox Projects is overseeing the structural engineering.
Powering the yacht are twin MAN V12 engines, each providing 1550 horsepower, coupled with Twin Disc gearboxes that feature their EJS docking system for precise manoeuvrability. The yacht’s design includes four staterooms: a full-beam master suite amidships, a VIP stateroom forward, and twin guest cabins, all with ensuite bathrooms. The spacious lazarette will accommodate all the necessary equipment for outdoor activities, including mountain bikes, various water toys, and a tender garage. The main living area is designed to emphasise entertainment and relaxation, featuring an open-plan layout. The fully enclosed flybridge, accessed internally, will serve as the centrepiece when underway, offering extensive lounges and large windows for panoramic views.
As a custom build, the owners have been deeply involved in the design process, ensuring the yacht reflects their personal vision. Bill Upfold and Braden Weber have assembled an expert team of industry leaders for the project, noting, “We have brought together top professionals across all trades, from engineers and electricians to painters and interior designers, to create an outstanding vessel.” This yacht promises to be a standout in both design and performance, exemplifying the pinnacle of luxury marine craftsmanship.
