KM Yachtbuilders launches minimalist Bestevaer 53 M/Y yacht with "bare aluminium" exterior
Dezeen promotion:Â Netherlands-based yacht manufacturer KM Yachtbuilders has launched the Bestevaer 53 M/Y, a motor yacht with a minimalist design and an "understated elegance".
The craft is based on the same design principles of the illustrious Bestevaer expedition sailing yachts and is designed to offer users comfort in all weather conditions.
"It is quite a radical design statement in a world of slick bling look-alike motor yachts," KM Yachtbuilders said.
"We prefer our yachts to show the bare aluminium because aluminium is such an extraordinary material. It is lightweight, strong, maintenance-free and environmentally friendly."

The yacht has two cabins: one with a master bedroom and another with two singles
Bestevaer 53 M/Y's interiors are designed by Christien Starkenburg, founder of Studio Slow, and made from natural materials including Danish wool by Kvadrat and brushed oak.
The yacht contains two cabins with en-suite bathrooms: a primary bedroom with a double bed and another with two single beds.
