Turquoise Yachts: 80m Rafale marks a new era of confidence

22/09/2025 - 13:38 in Superyacht by Turquoise Yacht

Defined by flowing, dynamic lines penned by H2 Yacht Design, the 81-meter Rafale is a yacht that exudes power, even when still. A sculptural sheer line cascades from bow to stern in an elegant, undulating wave, visually elongating her five decks. Each level is organically contoured and wrapped in seamless glazing, enhancing her sleek aesthetic while delivering uninterrupted panoramic views throughout.

Behind her bold exterior lies a refined approach to outdoor living. Rafale’s exterior spaces are thoughtfully tiered to invite both connection and retreat, featuring a generous beach club at water level with openings on three sides, three pools– located on the main, owner, and sun decks – and a mix of shaded and open-air zones for dining, entertaining, and relaxation.

H2 Yacht Design’s interior reflects the same philosophy of versatility and balance. The owner’s suite – complete with private office, his and hers dressing rooms and bathrooms, and direct access to a private terrace and pool forward – sets the tone for a calm, contemporary guest experience. Six additional guest cabins and a series of lounges and entertainment areas are spread across the main, owner, and bridge decks, connected by a sculptural spiral staircase at the heart of the yacht. Constructed with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, Rafale is being built to Lloyd’s Register classification and will be flagged by the Cayman Islands. Her hybrid propulsion system pairs twin MTU 12V4000 M65L engines with up to 1920kWh battery capacity, enabling flexible, efficient cruising with reduce demissions.

At once futuristic and timeless, Rafale speaks to a new era of yachting – one that embraces sculptural form, emotional connection, and environmental consideration in equal measure.
