Design & Construction
Designed around a displacement steel hull and an aluminium superstructure she features a 12.8m beam and a 3.4m draft. The yacht is built over 4 decks with an internal volume of 1,989 GT (Gross Tonnes).
Construction started in mid 2018 with the keel laid under the project name 'Kensho'. The yacht was designed and constructed in compliance with the Lloyds Register technical standards. Launched in November 2021 this yacht undertook sea trials over the following months. She was delivered to her owners in July 2022.
Exterior Design
The 75.2m Admiral Kensho has one of the most distinctive profiles in recent superyacht design. Developed by Azure Yacht Design with archineers.berlin, the yacht departs from the tiered look common in large yachts and instead uses long, flowing surfaces that soften the height of the superstructure.
The most immediate visual feature of the Kensho yacht is the metallic blue-green hull finish. Known as “Kensho metallic,” the colour shifts between turquoise and deep green depending on the light and contrasts strongly with the dark bands of glazing that wrap around each deck level. In the photo, this colour gives the yacht a striking presence against the water and emphasises the smooth, sculpted hull form.
Rather than traditional stepped decks, the Admiral Kensho superyacht uses curved deck edges that run aft in sweeping lines. These horizontal ribbons of glazing and metal visually compress the height of the yacht while maintaining generous internal volume.
Forward, the bow is unusually open for a yacht of this size. A broad teak foredeck stretches from the bridge forward with minimal obstructions, while the hull sides feature a sequence of rectangular portholes that run low along the waterline.
Aft, each deck terrace has a different role. The upper aft deck is arranged for outdoor dining, while the levels above and below provide shaded lounging areas beneath the overhangs. The flowing superstructure lines guide the eye down toward the stern where the yacht’s lower decks step gradually toward the water.
Glass side rails replace traditional bulwarks in several areas, allowing uninterrupted views outward from the decks and strengthening the connection between the guest spaces and the surrounding sea.
Interior Design
The interior of the Admiral Kensho yacht was created by Jouin Manku and follows a design language based on natural materials and layered textures. Spaces rely on wood, leather, stone and metal rather than decorative excess, producing a calm atmosphere that feels closer to a contemporary residence than a traditional yacht interior.
The main guest areas on Kensho use curved furniture layouts that mirror the flowing exterior lines. On the upper deck forward lounge, sofas can be arranged for conversation, cinema viewing or quiet relaxation while facing the sea through wide glazing.
Material layering is a recurring theme throughout the Kensho superyacht interior. Harder materials such as metal and glass appear closer to the exterior, while softer surfaces such as leather and silk appear deeper within the rooms. This arrangement creates a gradual transition between exterior deck spaces and the interior lounges.
Lighting is subtle and integrated into architectural features rather than used as decorative centrepieces. Ceilings in some areas include relief patterns inspired by nautical chart contours, bringing a subtle maritime reference into the design.
Instead of a traditional aft saloon arrangement, Kensho places greater emphasis on internal dining and shared social spaces positioned deeper within the yacht’s structure.
Accommodation
The Admiral Kensho yacht accommodates guests in seven cabins, with two additional cabins that can be used for staff when required.
The owner’s suite occupies a large section of the main deck and spans the full beam of the yacht. The suite includes four distinct areas: the main sleeping cabin, a private lounge, a dressing room and a large bathroom.
A standout feature of the owner’s bathroom on Kensho is the bathtub carved from a single block of Carrara marble, where the stone’s natural veining becomes part of the design.
Guest cabins are arranged to take advantage of the yacht’s large windows and the absence of traditional side corridors. This layout allows cabins on the Kensho yacht to feel larger than those on many yachts of similar length.
Crew accommodation supports a team of around 23 crew, ensuring the yacht can operate comfortably during extended cruising.
Performance & Capabilities
The Admiral Kensho yacht uses a diesel-electric propulsion system designed to prioritise efficiency, low noise and flexible power management.
Propulsion comes from twin Veth azimuth thrusters driven by permanent magnet electric motors, each producing around 1,911hp. Power is supplied by five variable-speed generators, producing roughly 3.5MW of electrical output and allowing the system to match generator use with real-time power demand.
This configuration removes the need for a conventional shaft drive, which reduces vibration and improves manoeuvrability. The azimuth thrusters also allow precise control when docking or operating in confined areas.
The Kensho superyacht reaches a top speed of around 15 knots and cruises comfortably at 13 knots. With 145,000 litres of fuel capacity, the yacht has a range of approximately 4,500 nautical miles at 13 knots, allowing extended passages without refuelling.
Machinery spaces are positioned on the tank deck, keeping mechanical noise away from guest areas while freeing additional interior volume. The yacht also includes a class-approved battery room, allowing future installation of battery systems for silent or reduced-emission operation.
