In this episode of the YachtWorld Legends videos series viewers get to step aboard the extraordinary, eye-popping, 235-foot superyacht Kogo for an insider’s look at what makes her one of the most luxurious, innovative and impressive custom-built yachts in the world.
Constructed by Alstom Marine in 2006 with a refit in 2016, the vessel combines a striking Tim Heywood exterior design and superior construction quality with a wonderful oriental-flavored Terence Disdale interior. Warm sophistication, zen and natural elegance are themes that run throughout the entire boat with many interesting finishes and textures coupled with the soft, warm, neutral tones. The overall atmosphere is one of spacious tranquility and relaxation.
As soon as you step on board it is easy to see why Kogo has won so many awards including motor yacht of the year award in 2007 and best interior design.
Layout And Accommodation
Kogo offers luxurious accommodation for 12 charter guests in 5 luxuriously appointed double rooms and 2 twin suites and accommodates 21 crew members. The sensational layout of KOGO’s interior adds to the flow and harmony of the décor, making it easy to want to pick up anchor and sail away for a very long time.
She features a large jacuzzi and helipad as well as two cinemas, a fully-equipped gym with steam room, spa and massage room. She also has a dedicated dive room, innovative water level beach club with an 18-shower-head waterfall plus an impressive array of water toys. Also onboard are a full medical facility and hospital onboard.
One standout feature that sets Kogo apart from superyachts is that it is also rated to have the helicopter onboard while you’re underway. The vessel has been engineered to support the extra weight so you can ratchet that helicopter down in place and keep it on the helipad while you’re cruising.
