The result is a dual-purpose bridge concept that seamlessly integrates the wheelhouse into the yacht's living environment whenever navigation is not underway, while remaining fully operational and immediately available when required.
At the heart of the concept is a new bridge architecture featuring a next-generation Human Machine Interface (HMI) designed to make navigation more intuitive, efficient and user-friendly. A distinctive vertical display arrangement optimises space utilisation and enhances situational awareness, while an advanced Head-Up Display projects essential navigation information directly into the captain's field of view.
Point Break has been designed as a dynamic and adaptable space. When navigation is not taking place, the displays retract, creating an open space that can be used for alternative onboard purposes that allows one of the yacht's most valuable spaces to become part of the owner's lifestyle experience. This approach enables designers and shipyards to rethink interior layouts and create greater flexibility without sacrificing operational readiness.
The concept also anticipates the next generation of digital onboard solutions through the integration of future AI-supported functionalities for onboard documentation management and full compatibility with mtu NautIQ Foresight, Rolls-Royce's advanced platform for predictive engine and systems health management. Together, these technologies enhance operational awareness, simplify maintenance planning and supports captains and crews in daily operation and maintenance planning.
