Glass, silence and no offices -- What the super rich want on a superyacht

(CNN)Shhhhh ...

When millionaires go on vacations on their superyachts, there's one thing some crave more than anything: uninterrupted silence.

"For some people the greatest luxury you can have is that you don't hear the boat, so anti-vibrations and making sure you feel comfortable," Heesen Yachts CEO, Arthur Brouwer tells CNN Sport of one of the growing trends in superyacht design.

When you have enough money to buy a superyacht, luxury and attention to the smallest detail knows no bounds -- even if that means buying silence.

That also means gone are the days of opulent offices where owners can carry out business meetings on their yacht, now it's all about peace and quiet -- a place where they can switch off entirely. 

For Winch Design, creating an award winning superyacht entails much more than just a beautiful aesthetic; It should be bespoke, a nod to the owner's lifestyle and individuality.

"We don't set out explicitly to produce designs which are 'radical,'" Jim Dixon from Winch Design tells CNN Sport.

"We're always trying to be as creative as possible and go beyond what our clients expect.

 

"Ultimately it's delivering the perfect project for them. At this level all our clients want to have individual projects as a demonstration of themselves as individuals.

"They don't want to buy something that's standard, something that others have got -- something that's off the shelf. That would be the easy option."

Dixon adds that everything you see and touch on board their superyachts -- both the interior and exterior -- is entirely custom-made.

"We deliver the yacht from the shipyard with everything on board -- down to the last piece of tableware and flower arrangement," he says.
