The design

About the design

Design project – shipyard TBD, build TBC

GEKO 60 is a 60.89 m (200 ft) new-build superyacht project by Arch. Franco Gnessi of Dynaship Yacht Design (DYD), conceived as a starting point for a greener, more sustainable yacht. Large windows, uniform symmetry and a limited number of decks give her a calm exterior that the designer likens to a Japanese pagoda.

Design and hull

The hull takes its cue from prismatic America's Cup forms, with a star-shaped bow, pointed yet rectangular, that gains volume toward the stern to minimise exit turbulence.

Propulsion

Designer's figures: hybrid propulsion with dual brushless electric azipod motors (1,940 kW), a 16-knot cruising speed and 22 knots maximum, a range of about 3,000 nm at 14 knots, and around 90 minutes of zero-emission electric running at 8 knots.

Life aboard

  • 10 guests in an owner's suite and four VIP suites
  • 16 crew in 9 cabins
  • Recessed foredeck pool, sheltered underway or at anchor
  • Stern pool with direct access to the water
  • Sundeck Jacuzzi and sun-lounging areas
  • Garage space for four Waverunners and a large tender

Project status

GEKO 60 is a design project: shipyard to be determined and build to be confirmed. Layout, specification and finishes can still be developed around the owner's brief. Ask us for the full brochure, general arrangement and an indicative build budget.

Building a yacht of this class

A custom yacht of this size typically takes three to four years from concept to delivery, in six phases. The figures above are for this project; the phases and payment schedule are typical for the class.

Estimated build budget€60M – €85M
Contract to delivery36–48 months
Typical annual running cost€5M – €8M per year
01 Concept confirmation & feasibility3–6 monthsDesign fees; slot deposit may apply

Confirm the general arrangement, prepare a preliminary specification and collect budget estimates from shortlisted shipyards, then discuss build slots. Italian yards with this capability include Tankoa, ISA, CRN and Palumbo.

02 Contract & technical lock4–6 months10–20% deposit

Sign a MYBA-style or shipyard build contract, finalise the detailed specification (often 200–400 pages) and choose classification society and flag, for example RINA or Lloyd's Register, Cayman or Malta. Structural changes become expensive after this point.

03 Engineering & production design6–9 months≈5–8% of contract

Structural calculations, hull optimisation, electrical and hybrid integration, HVAC, AV/IT and stabilisers, and class approval of the drawings.

04 Hull & superstructure12–16 months≈35–40% of contract

Steel cutting, keel laying, construction of the hull and superstructure and installation of the engine room, with tank testing and quarterly inspections by the owner's representative.

05 Interior fit-out & systems10–14 months, overlapping≈30–35% of contract

Owner's suite, guest and crew areas, pools, AV/IT, joinery and stone. The interior specification is the biggest single factor in where the final budget lands.

06 Commissioning & sea trials3–6 monthsFinal ≈10%

Harbour tests, sea trials, noise and vibration checks, class and flag certification, crew training and delivery.

Typical payment schedule (Italian yard)

  • Contract signing 10%
  • Steel cutting 10%
  • Keel laying 10%
  • Hull completion 20%
  • Superstructure 20%
  • Launch 20%
  • Delivery 10%

What moves the budget

  • Expanded hybrid battery capacity
  • Custom glazing
  • Custom marble and stone
  • Beach club redesign
  • Helipad certification
  • Tender garage engineering
  • Structural changes requested by the owner

Indicative planning figures for a custom yacht of roughly 50–70 m built at an Italian shipyard. Actual budget, schedule and payment terms depend on the shipyard, specification and contract. This is not an offer or a quote.
