Waterfront: Mighty Morpheus
Tim Heywood and Shipbuilder Fincantieri Announce Superyacht Project.

Fincantieri 378
London-based designer Tim Heywood is bringing the expertise he has developed over 33 years in the yachting industry and refined with projects such as the Lürssen superyachts Pelorus and Ice (ex-Air) to the new 115-meter (378-foot) Morpheus project. Named for the mythological god of dreams, Morpheus will be constructed by Italian shipbuilding giant Fincantieri, which recently announced its entry into the luxury yacht sector.

Tim Heywood Design has incorporated a number of amenities into the yacht’s design reminiscent of an exclusive resort spa, including a lower-deck "wellness center" with a gym, sauna, massage rooms and hair salon—not to mention a 9.5-meter swimming pool with a waterfall cascading into it from the deck above. The yacht’s accommodations include a private owner’s deck with a separate salon, outdoor cinema and terrace overlooking the foredeck. Eight additional suites hold 16 guests, who will be well pampered by the 47 staff and crewmembers housed on board Morpheus.
