“The Name is Bond” H2 Design Reveals New 82m

H2 Yacht Design proudly announces role in John Staluppi's new 82m custom superyacht, named Bond.

With over 30 years of experience in superyacht interior and exterior design, H2 Yacht Design continues to define a highly personalised approach to custom yacht design, where each project is shaped entirely around the client’s lifestyle, vision, and way of living at sea. H2 Yacht Design is behind the interior design of the new 82m, currently under development at Bilgin Yachts in Turkey.

Interior Design Led by Client Vision

“A defining strength of H2 Yacht Design lies in our absence of a fixed house style—allowing every yacht to become a unique expression of its owner.” Jonny Horsfield, Founder & CEO of H2 Yacht Design.

On superyacht Bond, this approach is particularly evident. Working closely with Jeanette Staluppi, we are developing an interior that is both highly personal and architecturally refined, with a strong emphasis on, natural light and seamless transitions between interior and exterior. The result is an environment designed not just to impress, but to feel intuitive, comfortable, and deeply connected to the sea.

A Collaborative Design Process

H2 Yacht’s interior design process is rooted in close collaboration with our clients, translating ideas into detailed spatial planning, material selection, and photo like renders.

From initial concept sketches through to final construction, the studio remains closely involved – ensuring that every detail reflects the original vision while meeting the technical demands of a modern superyacht.

This hands-on approach, developed over decades of new build yacht projects, is what allows H2 Design to consistently deliver interiors that are both elegant and highly functional at sea.

Project Bond has been engineered with the American market in mind, combining; shallow draft for access to key cruising destinations, 5,000-nautical-mile range for global travel, top speed of 17.5 knots with stability and comfort. This creates a yacht equally suited to East Coast cruising and worldwide exploration, without sacrificing refinement or onboard experience.

A Yacht with a Story

Beyond design and engineering, project Bond carries a deeply personal narrative. Owner John Staluppi has famously named his yachts after James Bond films, a tradition spanning 18 yachts.

In this context, Bond represents a natural culmination of that legacy.

A Distinctive New Build

With its sleek exterior lines by Unique Yachts, advanced engineering platform, and fully bespoke interior by H2 Yacht Design, Project BOND is set to become a standout in the world of 80m+ custom superyachts.

For H2, it is another opportunity to demonstrate its core philosophy:
No signature style, only signature results, shaped entirely around the client.
