Kitson Yachts Announces 88M Admiral Project

Slated for delivery in 2027, Kitson Yachts has announced the 88M Project Spyder, an Admiral Superyacht, featuring layouts by design studios Espen Øino International and FM Architettura. Project Spyder prioritizes custom design at the forefront, offering expansive spaces for both entertainment and relaxation tailored specifically to the commissioned owner’s specifications. Kitson Yachts managed the project from its inception and will continue to oversee all stages of production to ensure the yacht’s timely delivery and flawless execution.

“Negotiating yacht specifications on behalf of our clients is what we specialize in,” says Kitson Yachts Co-Founder Brandon Kummer. “Our goal is to guide clients through the entire design process, helping them bring their vision of owning the yacht of their dreams into a reality.”

The owner played a hands-on role in shaping Project Spyder’s design, with Kitson Yachts providing support throughout every stage of the process. After evaluating a number of pedigreed shipyards for the build, The Italian Sea Group was chosen for its cutting-edge 3D technology and integrated digital platforms, offering the confidence needed to bring the family’s vision to life. Espen Øino International was engaged to design the yacht’s sleek exteriors, while FM Architettura was entrusted with executing the interiors.

With a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, Project Spyder prioritizes innovation and open-space optimization without sacrificing performance. The yacht is equipped with an advanced diesel-electric propulsion system powered by electric Azipods, significantly reducing both emissions and fuel consumption.

Project Spyder’s exterior layout blends expansive indoor and outdoor living spaces, creating an ideal setting for gathering, unwinding, and making lasting memories at sea. With an impressive volume of approximately 3,000 gross tons, the yacht accommodates up to 18 guests across nine staterooms, including a master suite on the bridge deck, complete with a fully circular private deck offering unmatched privacy and views.

Spyder’s communal areas feature a spacious main salon and a forward-facing observation lounge on the upper deck. The main deck features a 10.3-meter by 3.5-meter swimming pool, which overlooks a 100-square-meter expandable beach club with four openable hatches that can be used as terraces in an effort to maximize available space. The bow converts into a multifunctional space, doubling as a pickleball or basketball court and a helipad when needed. The sundeck is dedicated to wellness and relaxation, offering a gym, a jacuzzi, and lounging areas to enjoy the journey in total comfort.

“When designing a custom yacht, great design isn’t just about aesthetics, it’s about solving the limitations in standard market options and creating something truly unique for each buyer,” says Michael Tabor, Co-Founder of Kitson Yachts. “Our goal is to make the investment feel completely worthwhile. You see other yachts out there and think, ‘You paid how much for that?’ We want to change that narrative by opening up more possibilities for our clients. It’s what drives us to deliver the absolute best while meeting every detail of our clients’ specifications.”

Inspired by natural light, the yacht’s interiors, designed by FM Architettura, showcase a carefully curated palette of colors, textures, and finishes that beautifully enhances the abundant daylight. Project Spyder also features generous ceiling heights, custom furnishings, and carefully selected materials to continue elevating the bright, airy atmosphere throughout. Every detail embodies the client’s vision of creating one of the most exclusive yachts in the world, designed for their multi-generational family to enjoy on unforgettable vacations.
