Arno Schuurs and Paulien van Noort of design agency Getaway Projects have already impressed us with their innovative cabin designs, but when they told us they were building a cabin that was actually a boat, we sat up and paid attention. We knew Arno and Paulien had won awards for their boat designs before, but this was something new.

Inspired by their experience with their terrestrial cabins, designing great interiors in small spaces, they have created a warm contemporary (almost industrial) space with huge windows that offer panoramic views and allow light to flood in. Interior details include an elegant fishbone oak floor, a large zinc-finished kitchen, and soft leather banquettes. 

The ship has 70m2 interior living space, with 70m2 outside living space (rooftop and aft deck).

Living level:

Aft deck with access to the upper deck and entrance living area. Spacious kitchen with a large dining table for 12 people; a modern kitchen unit with built-in appliances.

Sitting area with fireplace.

Modern bathroom with a toilet; walk-in shower and sink.

On both sides of the boat there is access to one of the two double bedrooms with both a double bed (1.80 x 2.00) and an extra bunk bed (1.90 x 2.10).

Upper deck:

The upper deck is equipped with 12 solar panels. A very spacious roof terrace. Wheelhouse with all controls.

Spacious aluminum ship of 20m long and 5m wide
