SPIRIT OF VENICE

Olivier F. Van Meer's unified design vision across naval architecture, exterior styling, and interior planning creates an uncommonly cohesive 27-meter sailing yacht in SPIRIT OF VENICE. VMG Yachtbuilders delivered this 2018 vessel with proportions that speak to performance sailing heritage—her 6-meter beam strikes the precise balance between stability and elegance that defines serious cruising yachts. Van Meer's exterior lines flow from a purposeful bow through clean sheerlines to a transom that sits naturally at anchor, creating a profile that reads as both contemporary and timeless. The single-designer approach extends beyond mere aesthetic consistency. Van Meer's dual role as naval architect and stylist means every curve serves both visual and performance functions, while his interior work maintains the same rigorous attention to proportion and detail. At 27.32 meters overall, SPIRIT OF VENICE occupies that sweet spot where serious sailing capability meets intimate scale—large enough for extended passages yet sized for hands-on sailing when the moment calls. VMG Yachtbuilders executed Van Meer's vision with the precision this type of integrated design demands. The result feels intentional in every detail, from the way her profile sits on the water to the coherent relationship between exterior and interior volumes. SPIRIT OF VENICE accommodates six guests in a package that prioritizes the pure sailing experience, her proportions suggesting speed and sea-kindliness in equal measure.
