The Internationally acclaimed French creator, designer and architect, Philippe Starck is one of the most celebrated figures in the industry due to its capacity to work in a wide variety of disciplines. Starck has actually worked on many luxury yachts, and today, we are going to feature the best of them. These vessels showcase his true versatile mind and his enduring passion for the sea.
Virtuelle
This yacht was one of the earliest yachts that Starck had worked on. Virtuelle was launched in 1999 by Tencara. Starck worked closely with naval architect Andrea Vallicelli. Accommodating up to six guests, this 24-metre all-GRP sailing yacht is notable for her extensive use of curved teak decking.
