787
Beyond Extraordinary
The SHIFT 787 represents the pinnacle of modern cruising, a fusion of refined luxury, intelligent architecture, and uncompromising performance.
This concept design has been conceived for one of our most extraordinary clients, the brief was deceptively simple:
“Separate guests from crew, keep the crew comfortable in extreme climates, and go as fast as possible.”
Nothing delivers effortless speed like waterline length and the 787 is exactly 24.0 metres (78.7 ft) the maximum permitted under the ISO/CE Recreational Marine Directive. The SHIFT 787 stands at the very limit of what is possible in a private cruising yacht.
A new definition of privacy and comfort
The 787 can be configured for 6–8 guests in beautifully appointed ensuite cabins, with 4 crew housed in real comfort. In the current arrangement, the crew operate the yacht from a fully shaded, air conditioned internal forward cockpit, allowing them to access the galley, working decks, and their accommodation without ever entering the salon or guest areas.
Guests may enjoy complete privacy, or open the salon to the apparent breeze and the exhilaration of sailing at speed. Every circulation path has been considered to ensure serenity for guests and efficiency for crew.
Aerospace engineering, oceanic purpose
Constructed from aerospace carbon prepreg, Nomex Honeycomb cores, and engineered with absolute discipline, the SHIFT 787 achieves a projected lightship displacement of just 24 tons. This extraordinary figure unlocks a new realm of performance; effortless passage making, remarkable responsiveness, and the ability to compete at the highest level when called upon.
Innovation with intent
From its advanced drive train to its opulent interior design, every kilogram is precious and has been invested with purpose. The result is a yacht that is not only visually arresting, but one that embodies the philosophy of SHIFT: intelligent design, elegant engineering, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
The SHIFT 787 is more than a concept. It is a statement of what becomes possible when imagination, engineering mastery, and uncompromising ambition converge.
