The 2025 Bee motor yacht stands out as a symbol of modern exploration, combining strength, elegance, and innovative design. Measuring 35.4 meters in length, this compact yet daring vessel is built for those who seek adventure without sacrificing comfort or luxury. Bee is now listed for sale through Jeremy Comport and Jack Gradus of Ocean Independence, and offers an unparalleled blend of high-end design, autonomy, and practicality.
A Strong, Unique Aesthetic
Designed by Sergio Cutolo, Bee’s exterior styling and naval architecture were developed by Hydro Tec, with luxurious interiors crafted by Dragoni Design Lab. The yacht is immediately striking, with a bold high bow and angular lines that evoke a sense of power and purpose. Finished in pristine white with dark window bands, Bee exudes an aesthetic designed for long-distance voyages beyond the Mediterranean.
The yacht’s vertical windows, wrapping around the main and upper decks, create a visually elongated superstructure while providing panoramic views from the interior. Cutolo’s design balances aggression with elegance, offering a contemporary edge that is both functional and refined.
Comfort Meets Adventure
Bee is not just built for exploration; it also excels in providing luxury and comfort. Upon boarding via the hydraulic swim platform, guests are greeted by an open, light-filled aft deck. Teak decking and a sculptural staircase leading to the upper decks enhance the sense of space, while a shaded aft seating area offers the perfect place to relax or dine outdoors.
The main saloon, accessed through sliding glass doors, is a modern, serene space designed with simplicity in mind. Soft neutral tones, brushed oak finishes, and matte lacquered surfaces create a calming atmosphere, while strategically placed reflective materials enhance natural light throughout the yacht.
A Design Focused on Intentional Luxury
Bee’s interior is a testament to its designers’ attention to detail. The yacht’s overall design brief called for a space that is trendy, modern, and open to the landscape. Natural light plays a central role, and the yacht’s clean lines and understated luxury ensure that every design choice has purpose. The overall theme is one of soft elegance, with rounded corners, brushed aluminium frames, and artwork from local artists adding cultural richness to the space.
The saloon is versatile, with comfortable seating positioned to take in both the view and a concealed television. The formal dining area, set beneath a custom lighting panel, comfortably seats ten and benefits from large windows that flood the space with natural light. Every detail—from the robust, considered surfaces to the hidden technical elements—reinforces the yacht’s commitment to longevity and seamless functionality.
A Private Owner’s Retreat
Forward on the main deck, Bee features a full-beam owner’s suite designed as a private sanctuary. The suite includes a king-size bed, walk-in wardrobe, and office space, all finished with luxury materials such as Nabuk leather and 3D-detailed dove grey leather. The ensuite bathroom, finished in light Calacatta Cremo marble with brushed stainless steel accents, features a large rainfall shower, twin sinks, and ample storage. This space offers both comfort and tranquility, ideal for long passages or quiet mornings at anchor.
A Thoughtful Guest Layout
Bee’s lower deck houses a family-friendly guest layout, with two ensuite VIP staterooms positioned amidships. These rooms feature large hull windows and soft ambient lighting, while two twin staterooms at the aft are designed with both style and practicality in mind. The yacht accommodates up to ten guests and can house six crew members in dedicated quarters forward, with a separate mess and laundry area ensuring excellent service and privacy.
Flexibility and Outdoor Spaces
Up on the upper deck, Bee’s skylounge is a multifunctional space designed for comfort and flexibility. It features a sofa, a Corian and White Onyx bar, and a layout that can easily transform from a social gathering space to a movie night venue or private lounge. The aft upper deck terrace offers the ideal setting for alfresco dining with a 10-person table and sweeping views of remote anchorages. A concealed crane allows for the seamless launch and retrieval of tenders.
The foredeck, often an underutilized space on yachts of this size, serves as an additional functional outdoor area, with a seating arrangement that provides a quiet place to enjoy the surroundings.
Superior Engineering for Long-Range Voyages
Beneath its elegant design, Bee is engineered for serious exploration. With a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, the yacht is built for long-range autonomy and smooth sailing in various sea conditions. The displacement hull ensures stability, while stabilisation systems enhance comfort. Powered by twin Caterpillar engines, Bee has a cruising speed of 12 knots, a top speed of 13 knots, and a remarkable range of 4,000 nautical miles at 10 knots.
The wheelhouse, reflecting the shipyard’s legacy, incorporates traditional elements such as dark green leather upholstery and black-painted oak panelling. This blend of heritage and modern luxury creates a commanding atmosphere for navigation.
The Ultimate Explorer Yacht
Bee is a yacht that combines the best of both worlds—robust engineering and refined luxury. Whether venturing off the beaten path or relaxing at anchor, she provides a sophisticated, comfortable environment for both long voyages and short stays. With her cutting-edge design, long-range capabilities, and unwavering attention to detail, Bee is an explorer yacht like no other.
