The world of luxury yachting and cryptocurrency has come together once again, as Denison Yachting announces the sale of a 41-metre superyacht to be built at Aegean Yacht’s facilities in Bodrum, Turkey. The yacht, named Project Obsidian Blade, was purchased using cryptocurrency and is set for delivery in time for the 2027 Mediterranean season.
A Customized Evolution of Project Tempest
Project Obsidian Blade is based on Aegean Yacht’s 37.3-metre Project Tempest, but with key customizations to meet the owner’s requirements. The client was drawn to the original design and worked closely with the shipyard to tailor the yacht to their needs.
Sleek Design with a Naval Influence
The yacht’s exterior features a high bow and minimal glazing, taking inspiration from naval vessels. The interiors, meanwhile, will embrace a beach-house-style aesthetic, offering a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere.
Spacious Accommodation & Luxury Features
- The yacht can host up to 12 guests, one more than its predecessor, thanks to an additional cabin.
- A full-beam master suite on the main deck includes an en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe.
- Dedicated crew quarters provide comfortable space for up to six crew members.
Expansive Outdoor Spaces
- The open aft deck is designed to accommodate two large tenders.
- A sundeck will feature a central bar and al fresco dining area.
- Multiple lounging spaces will offer versatile relaxation areas.
Aegean Yacht’s Expanding Portfolio
Project Obsidian Blade is one of several projects currently in progress at Aegean Yacht, with at least three units on order or under construction. The largest of these is the 66-metre Haifa.
A Step Forward for Crypto in Yachting
With another high-profile yacht sale completed using cryptocurrency, the luxury yachting industry continues to embrace digital assets as a viable payment method. As Project Obsidian Blade takes shape, more details are expected to be revealed.
