Somnio embodies the new era of yacht life, blending ownership with community, privacy with intimacy. Memories will be made, deep friendships struck and no doubt new ideas take shape, to change the world or simply to nip along to a special spot.
A life of opportunity
Somnio’s service standards will include the amenities and service of a 6-star hotel, including full concierge services for both onboard and land-based needs: two restaurants with al fresco dining, a spectacular 10,000 bottle wine cellar and tasting room, a top deck lounge and library, a casual sports bar, the Connoisseur Club with fine liquors and a wide range of cigars, a cafe-style marketplace for the purchase of daily produce, a movie theatre, a state-of-the-art spa, world class medical and fitness facilities, the onboard beach club with watersports equipment and boats to facilitate beach landings, excursions, fishing, diving and snorkelling.
The restaurants on Somnio are designed to exacting standards that will also be made available for visiting world-class chefs to join the yacht in various locations to prepare mouth-watering dishes onboard, exclusively for Owners and their guests.
To support the voyages around the globe, Somnio will partner with a world recognised luxury tour company to provide destination driven excursions and, when warranted, bring on board local experts, guest lecturers or entertainers to immerse those on board in all aspects of a destination before it is reached.
A global itinerary
The focus will be on a slow paced, global cruise style itinerary, but with yacht styled access and destinations. Lengthy stays in port will be scheduled where warranted and much attention will be paid to locations that are more exotic or unavailable to traditional commercial ventures.
In tune with a private yacht lifestyle, the intent is to provide freedom for Owners to, on short notice, decide the destinations of a mini voyage between two fixed ports of call, along with any activities they would like to see included. This works particularly well when wishing to explore small, unique, destinations in places like the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia or the Caribbean.
Ocean sustainability
The oceans and their vast, and in some cases, untouched resources are critical to long term food security and human welfare. They also provide an essential buffer to global warming and the decline of biodiversity.
Through its alliance with Somnio Global, the advanced scientific research and development organization based in Detroit, Somnio will have the onboard capabilities that allows it to undertake focused ocean research. This will include comprehensive studies and prototype testing for solutions, notably those which reduce negative impacts on the marine environment.
Somnio is further intended to serve as a platform for organised philanthropic and educational events within the community and, even more importantly, connecting with local like minded representatives in the destinations she visits.
