HOIA 100 is a 30.50 m (100 ft) motor-yacht design by Franco Gnessi / DYD, shown in the MY 2026-02 brochure package. Its broad 8.20 m beam supports a layered arrangement of exterior lounges, a forward owner’s suite on the main deck and separate guest accommodation below.
The concept
The designer’s renderings pair a compact, upright profile with substantial outdoor living space. The foredeck is shown in different leisure configurations, including dining and a pool, while the upper terraces offer shaded seating and open-air entertaining.
Life aboard and deck arrangement
-
Main deck: an open-plan salon and dining area, a separate galley, and a forward owner’s suite shown in the general arrangement.
-
Lower deck: four guest cabins, forward crew accommodation, machinery space and aft tender storage.
-
Upper level: a forward helm area with sheltered interior seating and exterior terraces.
The specification table lists one owner’s suite, four guest cabins and two crew cabins. It does not state a certified passenger capacity, so no such capacity is claimed here.
The concealed tender system
A dedicated concept diagram explains the aft tender garage: deck lids open to expose the stowed tender and its launch arrangement, then close to restore the deck surface. Both the technical diagram and the rendered open-deck arrangements are retained for review, rather than replaced with generic imagery.
Propulsion and range
The designer specifies twin IPS40 propulsion, three Volvo D13 generators and a proposed thirty-minute full-electric mode. The stated targets are 16 knots maximum, 14 knots cruising and a 3,500-nautical-mile range at 10 knots. Generator power is ambiguously recorded in the sheet and needs engineering clarification; these are design figures, not measured results.
Specifications
Designer's figures: length overall 30.50 m (100 ft), beam 8.20 m (27 ft), draft 1.80 m (5.9 ft), displacement 135 tonnes. Glass-reinforced plastic / aluminium construction, as specified by the designer. Five guest cabins including the owner's suite, plus two crew cabins. Twin IPS40 propulsion, three Volvo D13 generators and a proposed 30-minute full-electric mode. Design speeds are 14 knots cruising and 16 knots maximum, with a target range of 3,500 nm at 10 knots. Fuel 12,000 L; fresh water 2,000 L. Final generator ratings and classification remain to be confirmed.
Drawings and source package
The gallery includes original elevation, general-arrangement, specification and tender-system sheets alongside the concept renderings. Snow and fjord settings are artistic concept scenes; they do not establish ice-class certification or polar operating capability.

Project status
This is an unbuilt design project, not an available finished yacht. Shipyard appointment, final engineering, classification, equipment, contract price and delivery schedule remain subject to confirmation. Performance and range figures, where stated, are designer targets rather than sea-trial results.
Images: photorealistic renderings based on the design studies by Arch. Franco Gnessi / DYD. This yacht has not yet been built, so these are not photographs of a finished vessel. Original technical drawings are shown separately; rendered equipment and layouts remain subject to the final build specification.
