PROJECT PETRA - CUSTOM FOR SALE

PROJECT PETRA is a contemporary world-roaming explorer yacht conceived by the Milan-based atelier Hot Lab and slated for construction at the respected Turkish yard RMK Marine. Hallmark attributes include a full‑displacement steel hull, an aluminum superstructure, and an ocean‑spanning cruising range. This is a fully engineered new-build, ready to enter production immediately with an anticipated 24‑month delivery timeline.

The vessel’s core architecture centers on a purposeful profile with a commanding bow engineered for bluewater passages, and an expansive aft deck that can be arranged in multiple modes for pool, helicopter operations, or tender and toy stowage. A 6 guest cabin arrangement is complemented by proper crew quarters and meticulously planned technical spaces, emphasizing efficiency, redundancy, and the autonomy one expects of a true global cruiser and expedition yacht.

PROJECT PETRA is presented in three distinct iterations to suit differing owner profiles and cruising agendas. These thoroughly resolved platforms address varied mission profiles and regulatory frameworks aligned with intended itineraries.

The first, the CORE variant, is the baseline configuration to Pleasure Class; the second, AURA, is built to Commercial Class; the third, INFINITE, is engineered to 1D Ice Class, extending capability for high‑latitude cruising.

Each model is priced commensurately with its classification, and each offers a curated menu of features including 6 & 7 cabin layouts, optional helicopter operations, an aft‑deck pool, and davits rated from 2–4 tonnes, giving every yacht the capability to carry on‑deck tenders from 6–10m and efficient deck flows.

The ambition is to welcome an owner for whom a truly bespoke package can be crafted, aligning the right model and options to their vision and enabling them to explore the world exactly as imagined.

PROJECT PETRA stands as a tough yet refined new-construction luxury superyacht, defined by timeless lines, pedigree naval engineering, and the signature elegance one anticipates from Hot Lab and RMK.

Main machinery

Power comes from four Volvo Penta D13 diesel engines, each producing 735 kW at 2400 rpm, working through the Volvo IPS40 Professional integrated pod drive. Propulsion is delivered by two Volvo IPS40 pod units with forward-facing twin counter-rotating propellers, and for the INFINITE configuration an IPS + Hybrid (optional) package is available.
