Two of Ken Freivokh Design’s projects were voted finalists in the 2012 World Superyacht Awards judging: the 55m Heesen built M.Y. Quinta Essentia and the Sunseeker 130’ Predator “Never Say Never”.

On Quinta Essentia the Freivokh team took design to its ultimate level of detail, matching many of the external details to the extraordinary interior, which included a free flowing treatment of floors and ceilings, glass shards and glass and polished stainless stairs within a unique atrium. The interior décor was finalised with input from Michela Reverberi.

Never Say Never was a deeply custom interpretation of the semi custom Sunseeker Predator 130. Developed for an owner for whom Ken Freivokh had previously designed boats and private jets, the interior is a very special blend of leathers and deep lacquers to create a warm and strikingly colourful interior.
