When Skat’s owner asked for as much light as possible, Espen Øino responded with a glass conservatory on the bridge deck that allows sunlight to shine in from above and below while affording magnificent views of the yacht’s surroundings. The yacht’s straight sides, high bow, faceted superstructure, and conning tower of a mast give the stealth vessel a military-like aesthetic, which in 2002 made it a polarizing design. Notably, it was the first Lürssen to feature a helideck and the first to have all guest and owner’s cabins on the main deck or above.
