Life is a boat trip

When dreams come true, it is often the result of hard work, passion and a special dedication to perfection. An outstanding example of this is the superyacht Cinderella Noel IV, a 50 metre long Smart Custom yacht with hybrid drive built by the renowned Heesen Yachts Builders B.V. shipyard. This dream yacht combines a sense of adventure in a private atmosphere with style and fuel efficiency. It is a masterpiece of shipbuilding and at the same time an example of excellent handcraft that goes far beyond the sea to Gotha.

Handcraft refines superyacht

We at KMD have worked closely together with interior designer Silvia Margutti from Luca Dini Design & Architecture to realise the elegant design concept with natural stonework. Hand in hand we created a unique floating home for family and friends of the Swiss owners Konrad and Trudy Schnyder. The couple plan to spend a large part of their lives on the yacht and therefore a high level of comfort and quality was very important.

With over 150 m² of high-class natural stone, KMD has realised the yacht's bathrooms, day heads, galley, lounge, bar and beach club as well as the sauna area. They created luxurious oases of well-being from the planning to production and installation on site.

Passion for natural stone

The owner is not only the captain of his own superyacht, but also a man with deep expertise and a clear understanding of the construction process. For this reason, he not only visited the Heesen shipyard, but also KMD in Gotha to explore the company and the creation of his dream yacht in person. During the visit at KMD, he was impressed by the exactness of handcraft and the passion that goes into every detail of the design and manufacture.

It was an honourable experience to see the owner's intense commitment to the production process and team. The respect shown to every member involved in the project was clearly noticeable.

The marbles Palissandro Bronzetto, Calacatta Cremo and Azul Cielo were chosen because of their elegance and simple structures. The Eramosa and Sequoia Brown Dark will create a mystical and fascinating character in the rooms. The Estremoz will give a cosy and warm atmosphere, while the Kashmir White and Antique Brown granites impress with their fine veins and granulated texture. This natural work of art, which was formed from the earth over millions of years, ensure that the yacht has a timeless and elegance beauty thas ist beyond comparison.

The most beautiful experience in shipbuilding

The cooperation on the Cinderella Noel IV was a very emotional yacht building project for KMD. It is our passion and motivation to help people realise their dreams with our work. This yacht is not just a ship, it is a home, a place full of life, joy and adventure.

Cinderella Noel IV is a place that is more than the sum of its parts. It is the result of passion, expertise and the work of all who live perfection. This exciting project will always remain an outstanding memory for everyone involved. We are extremely grateful to have been part of this unique journey - a journey that has left an unforgettable impression.
