Stealing the show in three ways, the world's first hydrogen fuel-cell superyacht, 389.9ft (118.8m) luxury yacht charter BREAKTHROUGH, came away laden with trophies as the industry recognized her staggering entry to the world of yachting.
Held on 1 February in Kitzbühel, Austria, the latest edition of the Design & Innovation Awards commended the superyachts and production models that have stood out over the past year, with charter yacht BREAKTHROUGH and luxury yacht rental LOEWE showing how it's done for the charter industry.
Winning multiple awards in one hit, charter yacht BREAKTHROUGH continued in the footsteps of 400ft (122m) superyacht charter KISMET who also won three awards during the Design & Innovation Awards gala in 2025.
With connections to Bill Gates and an unmistakable silhouette, superyacht BREAKTHROUGH has made continual ripples of prowess since her launch, causing excitement wherever she berths, including her time at anchor during the 2025 Monaco Yacht Show and her recent appearance at the legendary St Bart's New Year's Eve celebrations.
Already crowned as Yacht of the Year at the World Yachts Trophies in 2025 and Gigayacht of the Year at the 2025 Robb Report Best of the Best Awards, charter yacht BREAKTHROUGH now also has these three awards attached to her name:
- Best Naval Architecture - Displacement Motor Yachts
- Best Interior Design - Motor Yachts, 1000GT and above
- Eco and Innovation Award
Consistently hitting headlines throughout 2025, Feadship charter yacht BREAKTHROUGH made lots of noise throughout 2025 in multiple ways, and not just for being the most expensive brokerage deal on record.
Paving the way to success for her award in the Eco and Innovation sector at the Design & Innovation Awards ceremony, the brief for superyacht BREAKTHROUGH was to build "the world’s most advanced and environmentally conscious superyacht".
Showcasing the direction of a greener yachting industry and the paths being followed in groundbreaking research, the presentation of the award reflects the widespread influence she has had on working towards sustainable solutions for eco-aware yachting.
Earning her Best Naval Architecture - Displacement Motor Yachts award, yacht rental BREAKTHROUGH impressed the judging panel with her outstanding levels of innovation that were specifically created to host the new propulsion system and the layout differences that were needed as a result.
Overlapping into her third award for Best Interior Design in the 1000GT and above category, the structural work that went into concepts such as the Nemo Lounge further enhanced the appeal and benchmark for design, with judges also commending the neutral color palettes throughout motor yacht charter BREAKTHROUGH's interior decor that deepen in shades as they progress down through the decks.
