Imagine owning a luxurious Manhattan triplex apartment, but instead of being anchored to the bustling city streets, it gracefully glides across the open seas. That’s the essence of Extra Yachts’ latest masterpiece, the X130 Triplex, a 130-foot superyacht that redefines opulence on water. But here’s where it gets even more intriguing: this isn’t just another yacht—it’s a floating sanctuary designed to blend the comforts of home with the thrill of maritime adventure. And this is the part most people miss: it’s not just about size; it’s about how every inch is meticulously crafted to offer an unparalleled experience.
Extra Yachts, known for pushing boundaries in maritime design, has outdone itself with this addition to its Triplex line. The X130 Triplex boasts a three-deck layout, complete with a sundeck and a mezzanine deck, making it feel like a three-story seaside mansion. Designed by Studio Agon, the exterior is a stunning blend of soft curves and bold geometric lines, a signature touch that screams Extra’s aesthetic. But it’s the interior, brought to life by Laura Brocchini Design, that truly steals the show. With a voluminous 397 GT space, the designers have masterfully balanced light, materials, and movement, creating an ambiance that’s both inviting and awe-inspiring.
Now, let’s talk about the aft, arguably the yacht’s crown jewel. The mezzanine deck, elevated 35 inches above the main deck, features two lounge areas offering breathtaking views of the lower decks. Picture yourself sipping a cocktail while gazing at the ocean, all while cozying up next to a sculptural fireplace. Directly below is an open-air beach club with fold-down platforms that expand to create a staggering 645 square feet of space suspended above the water—perfect for sunbathing or hosting a seaside party. Nearby, you’ll find a storage area, a swim platform, and a tender garage, ensuring every need is catered to.
Step inside, and the main deck salon welcomes you with its light-filled interior, featuring two semicircular sofas and a 10-seater dining table ideal for entertaining. Further forward, a galley, lobby, and an owner’s suite await, complete with an office, vanity, walk-in wardrobe, and en suite. But here’s the controversial part: the upper deck can be transformed into an exclusive owner’s deck with a panoramic primary suite aft. Is this the ultimate in privacy, or does it isolate the owner from the rest of the yacht’s amenities? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
Below deck, four double cabins—two VIPs and two twins—accommodate family and friends, while three crew cabins ensure a seamless experience for up to six crew members. The captain’s cabin, strategically located on the upper deck near the helm, offers both convenience and commanding views.
The upper deck itself is a haven of luxury, featuring a large salon with a bar and an alfresco lounge. But it’s the sundeck that truly takes your breath away. A panoramic lounge, a 12-seater dining table, a large bar, and a sea-facing infinity pool flanked by sunbeds create the ultimate sky-high retreat. All of this is protected by a rigid T-Top, ensuring the space can be enjoyed year-round, regardless of the weather.
Under the hood, the X130 Triplex is powered by two 2,000 hp MAN engines, delivering a top speed of 16 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots. It’s not just about luxury—it’s about performance too.
Extra’s Triplex line now includes four models, ranging from 93 to 130 feet, with the X130 set to become the flagship upon its launch. But here’s the question: in a world where sustainability is increasingly important, how do superyachts like this fit into the conversation? Are they a symbol of excess, or can they be designed with eco-friendly practices in mind? Let us know what you think.
