106 Feet Isn't the Point: Wanderlust95 Turns Every Inch of Deck into Double Duty

106 feet converts to 32.49 meters in metric—hardly a head-turner in today's superyacht market, where 50-plus-meter builds are routine. But DYDXL Design Forge's new concept, Wanderlust95, isn't out to prove how big this size can go. It's about how much can be packed into it.

Designer Franco Gnessi's approach is refreshingly straightforward: rather than carving up space into single-purpose zones, let every deck do two jobs at once. The flybridge is the clearest example—pool, sun loungers, a large dining table, and a fully stocked bar all sharing the same footprint, blurring the line between chill-out zone and social hub. The stern is designed to extend outward, functioning as a beach club by default and transforming into a launch platform for water toys and tenders when needed, with movable furniture and storage built right into the structure. A separate pool up at the bow comes flanked by daybeds on either side, while the aft deck adds yet another lounging area. Almost nowhere on this yacht is space wasted on simple pass-through.

Interior details remain conceptual for now: a central salon flooded with natural light, floor-to-ceiling glass windows pulling the ocean view straight in. It's designed to host up to 10 guests and 4 crew, though the studio has yet to release any interior renderings—the finer points are still to come.

Hull material is planned as either fiberglass or aluminum, with a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system paired with a sizable onboard battery bank—switchable to full-electric, silent-running mode when needed. That's not a gimmick; it's a genuinely useful feature for navigating protected coastlines or marine reserves.

Gnessi founded the studio (formerly Dynaship Yacht Design) back in the 1990s, and the portfolio has always leaned bold: a 244-foot yacht styled after an orca, a 147-foot design drawing on rationalist architecture, a 200-foot build with supercar-inspired lines, and a 190-foot vessel channeling the aesthetic of a WWII warship. Against that backdrop, Wanderlust95's "manageable" scale (the studio's own words) reads as a rare moment of restraint for this designer.

Wanderlust95 remains at the concept stage for now, and whether it moves into actual production depends on whether a buyer is willing to turn this "wanderlust" into an order. Pricing and delivery timeline have yet to be announced.
