Size Doesn't Matter

Despite its modest dimensions, the ST550 from Invictus Yacht promises a full-scale luxury experience.

AS YACHTS AND superyachts grow ever larger, naming a 16.87m vessel ‘Space’ seems ironic. That, however, is exactly what Invictus Yacht has done with its new flagship vessel, the ST550 (the ‘S’ stands for Space). But as seasoned yachtsmen will attest, size alone should not be the defining criterion when evaluating a vessel’s aesthetic allure and functionality.

The ST550 embodies this sentiment. Sporting a gracefully curvaceous silhouette that is reminiscent of retro tender vessels, the yacht appears to offer a surprisingly seamless and expansive onboard experience. Designed by Christian Grande, the ST550 boasts a substantial bow living area, which is often sacrificed for other areas in vessels of this size.
