PROJECT METAVERSE - Delta FOR SALE

PROJECT METAVERSE is the world’s first Superyacht NFT, uniting the vision of famed naval architect Gregory C. Marshall with the renowned Delta Marine shipyard. The result is a blue-chip, custom new-build Motor Yacht poised to make a lasting mark on the Luxury Yacht, Mega Yacht, and Explorer Yacht landscape.

This first-of-its-kind new construction leverages bespoke augmented-reality and holographic design tools, giving owners an unprecedented metaverse build journey. Throughout the process, clients can meet with Gregory Marshall, the project lead, and the Delta team inside the metaverse, collaborating live as this groundbreaking Expedition Superyacht takes shape.

The concept draws inspiration from the award-winning 45m custom expedition yacht Big Fish, delivered in 2010 and still roaming the planet’s most remote waters. PROJECT METAVERSE carries that adventurous spirit forward with modern technology and an elevated level of sophistication.

A full-displacement steel hull paired with a composite superstructure showcases Delta’s expertise in robust, long-range construction. At 1,245 GRT, volume is abundant across every deck. Anticipated performance includes a top speed around 16.5 knots and a 4,000nm range at a 12-knot cruising speed, ideal for global passagemaking. Accommodations include 7 generous en-suite staterooms for 14 guests and quarters for up to 18 crew, aligning with true Superyacht and Expedition Yacht standards.

Signature features enrich life on board: touch-and-go helicopter operations on the bow; an expansive beach club framed by approximately 37 meters of fold-down terraces; an elevator serving all decks; fully accessible circulation; two large VIP suites forward on the main deck; four guest cabins on the lower deck with direct beach club entry; a commercial-grade galley; a dramatic crow’s nest lookout above the sundeck; and a striking glass-bottom pool set aft on the main deck over the beach club. The 87-square-meter owner’s apartment is full beam, with private balconies to port and starboard—one fitted with a spa pool. Forward, a tender garage with gull-wing doors simplifies launching and retrieval of tenders, a submersible, and an array of water toys. Hallmark elements—helipad, beach club, tender garage, and glass-bottom pool—position this as a category-defining Custom Yacht.

From the brokerage perspective, PROJECT METAVERSE represents a union between Gregory C. Marshall Design and Delta Marine that blends two leaders in their fields to craft an iconic global explorer. It’s fully custom, top pedigree, and distinguished by build methodologies not previously applied in yachting—hence the name PROJECT METAVERSE.

Building upon the success of Big Fish, this 63-meter long-range Motor Yacht amplifies the wow-factor: an open, multi-terrace beach club, sky-high crow’s nest, glass-bottom pool, forward tender bay, and a private, full-beam Owner’s Suite with twin balconies—one featuring a spa pool. Every detail has been choreographed for effortless flow from bow to stern. Crew routes are discreet and efficient, minimizing interruption to owners and guests, while tender operations are streamlined for seamless adventures.

The project is poised for an owner’s input. Final styling, interior decoration, and any bespoke modifications can be tailored to individual taste, lifestyle, and cruising plans. Pricing will be driven by the ultimate LOA, gross tonnage, interior fit and finish, and any selected options or customizations. Once technical specifications and contracts are finalized, the estimated build schedule is approximately 32 months.

Marshall Naval Architects has a history of shaping some of the world’s most celebrated Adventure Yachts—VvS1, Big Fish, and Artefact among them—collectively earning more than twenty major Superyacht awards. These yachts have ventured to some of the most distant corners of the globe, carrying their owners and guests in uncompromised style and safety. PROJECT METAVERSE continues that legacy as a collaborative effort between Alex Clarke at Denison Yachting, Cloud Yachts, and Delta Marine, harnessing advanced holographic design to connect clients directly with the design studio and shipyard throughout the design-and-build journey like never before.

Marshall with the renowned Delta Marine Shipyard to create a top‑pedigree, new‑construction project destined to leave a lasting legacy on the yachting industry. This first‑of‑its‑kind build harnesses custom augmented reality technology to deliver the ultimate metaverse build experience, enabling the client to meet Gregory Marshall, the broker, and the Delta team in the metaverse throughout the entire process as this historic superyacht takes shape. The design lineage draws inspiration from the award‑winning 45 m custom expedition yacht Big Fish, delivered in 2010 and still cruising the most remote regions of the world’s oceans with enduring capability and style.

Beneath her confident explorer profile lies a full‑displacement steel hull and composite superstructure, expertly executed by Delta Marine, a global leader in this category.

Main salon/dining

Spanning 1,400 square feet (140 square meters), the main salon and dining area are bathed in natural light through full‑height windows, crafting an atmosphere of cinematic openness. Along both dining‑salon sides, double sliding doors open onto fold‑down port and starboard balconies, dissolving the boundary between interior and sea. A dining table comfortably seats 14 guests, while a large forward concertina partition provides elegant buffet staging and discreet storage. Grand port and starboard entrance foyers separate the main and dining salons, each with full‑height sliding doors to ensure a spectacular arrival regardless of the docking side. The fully equipped bar, complete with refrigerator, ice maker, wine cooler, and sink, anchors convivial moments, and a 100‑inch forward projection screen transforms the space into a private cinema whenever desired.

Main deck aft

The aft terrace steps down from the main deck to preserve uninterrupted sightlines from the salon, unfolding a private resort over the sea. Centerstage is an 18‑foot (5.5 m) edgeless swimming pool with glass ends and a cascading waterfall from the deck above; it can be specified with a glass bottom to shower the beach club below with dappled natural light. Generous port and starboard loungers adapt from al‑fresco dining to sun pads with options in shade or sun, while substantial mooring stations flank both sides. A starboard‑side passerelle, widened for wheelchair access, ensures graceful boarding for all.

Beach club

With beach platforms deployed, the shoreline extends to an impressive 121 feet (37 m) of dock‑length, welcoming every adventure. There is ample space for all tenders, jet‑skis, a submarine, and guest craft, while a wide transformer platform simplifies entry to the water for kayaks and more. Inside, the beach club unfolds as a wellness‑lounge with room for a gym, relaxed seating, casual dining, and a wet bar. Overhead, skylights from the pool above flood the space with natural light, animating the water’s reflections across the lounge.

Lower deck guest cabins

Aft on the lower deck, four identical guest cabins blend generous proportions with ocean‑level connection. Each stateroom enjoys expansive windows measuring 8 feet wide by 3 feet high, and is large enough to accommodate king‑size beds with additional Pullman‑style wall berths or to be configured as twins for maximum flexibility. Every suite features a spacious bathroom with both shower and bathtub plus double sinks, while 50‑inch televisions enrich private downtime. Guests move effortlessly with direct access aft to the beach club and forward to the elevator and stairs.

Main deck VIP cabins

On the main deck, two identical VIP suites celebrate light, space, and accessibility. Each stateroom presents windows 8 feet wide by 3 feet high with shades and blackout screens, and the footprint accommodates king‑size beds with optional Pullman wall berths or an easy twin conversion, ensuring every cruising scenario is perfectly met. Large bathrooms offer both shower and bathtub with double sinks, while full wheelchair accessibility has been engineered into both suites. The area is sufficiently generous to be configured as a single full‑beam VIP with his‑and‑hers bathrooms if desired, convertible between port and starboard on demand. Each VIP includes walk‑in wardrobe lockers and 50‑inch televisions.

Owner's apartment

The owner’s apartment spans 875 square feet (87 square meters), conceived as a private sanctuary with terraces to port and starboard. The port‑side balcony hosts a large spa pool that can be heated or cooled as desired and remains entirely private from other decks, while the starboard balcony offers an expansive open‑air sun pad. Dual his‑and‑hers bathrooms complete a suite crafted for true seagoing residence.

Galley/service areas

Engineered to commercial standards, the galley is the heartbeat of seamless hospitality. A professional cooking suite incorporates double combination steam ovens among a full complement of equipment, while a generous central island is sized to plate every seat at the dining table simultaneously. Walk‑in dry stores and multiple refrigerator‑freezers safeguard provisions, and a dumbwaiter serving all decks is large enough for a hot‑cold food trolley. The trolley is housed in a dedicated, powered locker in the main galley to remain charged and ready. A discreet stewardess station, thoughtfully positioned out of circulation, offers personal‑item storage so staff need not return to cabins during service. The service pantry connects directly to crew accommodations and all decks, and double doors to the dining salon enable continuous, high‑service flow. Large table‑service lockers accommodate three full sets of china alongside all staging essentials.

Sundeck

The sundeck unfolds in three distinct moods. Aft, a private sun‑lounge encircles a petite plunge pool/hot tub, framed by sun pads and chaise longues for leisurely afternoons away from the bustle of the yacht. Access is effortless via an interior staircase and an elevator sized for six persons and capable of accommodating a full‑size wheelchair with attendant if required. To port of the central foyer, a large day head with shower adds welcome convenience. Forward, the deck divides into two zones: an open‑air observation area designed for relaxed forward‑looking reverie, and a sociable core where a bar and Teppanyaki kitchen serve a dining table seating up to 14. Crew move directly from the service stair to the galley below, with parallel service from the main dumbwaiter, while generous port and starboard seating invites larger gatherings. The central section sits beneath a hardtop with large skylights and a forward glass wind‑screen, allowing guests to enjoy the outdoors without the wind.

Crows nest

A private staircase leads from the sundeck to the elevated crow’s nest, a sanctuary of 360‑degree views whether underway or at anchor. Built‑in seating and complete privacy make this aerie one of the most coveted retreats on board, perfect for sunrise meditations and sunset toasts alike.

Tender garage forward

Positioned forward and fully enclosed, the tender garage keeps exterior decks pristine and allows crew to service tenders and toys without encroaching on owner and guest domains. As one of the yacht’s busiest hubs on arrival and departure, it is thoughtfully separated from the tranquil beach club to preserve the latter’s resort ambience. Locating tenders where motion is higher preserves the quietest, most comfortable areas for accommodations. The garage is sized to house a 24–28‑foot recreational sportfisherman, an 18‑foot jet tender, two full‑size personal watercraft, six Seabobs, and four kayaks. A large appliance hatch enables the removal of large equipment and machinery from the laundry room two decks below. Direct access to the deck above, the aft main‑deck areas, and the crew quarters below gives outstanding flexibility, and once tenders and toys are off the mothership, the space converts into an excellent crew recreation room. The submarine shown is a three‑passenger U‑Boat Worx, handled by the overhead gantry crane.

Helicopter 'touch & go' option

The helideck concept envisions a Eurocopter EC 130B seven‑passenger twin‑turbine model operating in touch‑and‑go mode. To accommodate this option, the foredeck would step up three risers from the aft area to eliminate bulwark hazards; safety railings here could be removable stanchions with lifelines or folding permanent rails. The pad would feature full approach landing lights, and the foremast retracts to clear the landing profile. While loose seating and awnings can be arranged, note that the helipad diameter is not certified to the 10‑meter requirement of international regulations for commercial operation and therefore is limited to private use.

Crew accommodations/lounge area

Crew spaces are accessed from the upper service area on the main deck and have been designed for comfort, efficiency, and morale. A supernumerary cabin sleeps two with a private head, complemented by a first officer’s cabin and an engineer’s cabin, both with queen‑size berths and private baths. Eight additional crew cabins offer single berths and share four Jack‑and‑Jill‑style bathrooms, while the two forward crew cabins each enjoy private facilities. Every crew cabin includes drawer storage, hanging lockers, a desk, and shelving. To starboard, the crew lounge provides a dedicated dining and relaxation area with a pantry equipped to galley standards and a food lift to streamline service.
