Raven, redefining luxury in motion
In a world where engineering meets desire, few objects manage to redefine contemporary luxury. Raven is one of them. Radical yet refined, futuristic yet deeply elegant, the Baltic 111 semi foiling superyacht has just announced its arrival on the global stage with a statement that goes far beyond sport.
After more than two years of development, testing and over fifteen thousand miles at sea, Raven completed her first official competitive appearance by crossing the Atlantic and claiming monohull line honours at the RORC Transatlantic Race, finishing in Antigua and Barbuda. More than a victory, the achievement confirms a vision. One that places innovation, elegance and experience at the very centre of modern yachting.
Designed to be the fastest superyacht of her generation, Raven was conceived with a bold philosophy. Inspired by the visual language of America’s Cup craft, she is engineered to semi foil, lifting her hull above the water while remaining grounded by a keel. The result is a striking balance between extreme performance and composure, allowing her to move across open seas with confidence, speed and grace.
What truly sets Raven apart, however, is her dual nature. Beneath the cutting edge technology lies a refined interior that embraces minimalism, comfort and lightness. This is not performance at the expense of luxury, but performance as luxury. Every detail on board reflects a new understanding of exclusivity, where intelligence replaces excess and experience outweighs ornamentation.
The Atlantic crossing was both a test and a revelation. Initially envisioned as an experimental project, Raven evolved so convincingly during her sea trials that her team decided to enter one of the most prestigious ocean races in the sailing calendar. The outcome was remarkable. She not only completed the course with confidence, but shattered the previous monohull record, reinforcing her status as a superyacht built to move, not merely to be admired at anchor.
Throughout the journey, Raven faced changing conditions, from calm stretches to tropical squalls, yet maintained consistency and composure. Sustained speeds above twenty five knots became part of daily life on board, redefining expectations of what a luxury yacht can achieve. It is this ability to merge adrenaline with serenity that positions Raven at the forefront of a new yachting era.
More than a trophy, Raven represents a shift in mindset. A new generation of superyachts designed for owners who seek meaning in movement, innovation in craftsmanship and emotion in experience. This is luxury stripped of noise, where technology, design and performance come together to create something quietly powerful.
By securing the IMA Trophy in her competitive debut, Raven did more than win a race. She established herself as a symbol of what lies ahead for luxury yachting. A future where the journey matters as much as the destination, and where true exclusivity is found in the freedom to move faster, further and with purpose.
