The enclosed upper deck changes how the yacht is used

The Deluxbridge concept replaces the exposed upper helm with a protected skylounge that can be used in hot, cold or wet conditions. Large windows preserve visibility while air conditioning and shelter make the upper level more useful throughout a wider range of climates.

For owners planning long seasonal migrations, that protection can matter as much as another knot of speed. The yacht can move between tropical cruising grounds and cooler coastal regions without forcing the upper helm to become a fair-weather-only space.

Three ensuite staterooms support extended stays

Outer Reef arranges the lower deck around three ensuite guest staterooms, including a full-beam owner's cabin. Aft accommodation can be configured for crew, additional guests or other purposes, giving owners flexibility according to whether the yacht is professionally operated or largely owner-driven.

The 5.63-metre beam creates substantial volume for a yacht under 22 metres, while the main deck remains focused on long-term living rather than transient day use. Storage, galley capacity and comfortable circulation are central to the model's passagemaking brief.

Moderate speeds support the long-range philosophy

The builder publishes cruising speeds from roughly 9 to 15 knots and maximum speeds between about 13.5 and 19 knots depending on engine choice. This places the yacht well below fast planing cruisers but gives owners a broader range of economical operating points.

Fuel capacity approaches 2,000 US gallons, reflecting the expectation that the yacht may spend long periods away from convenient refuelling. Range will vary with speed and conditions, but the machinery and tankage are clearly designed around endurance rather than short high-speed hops.

The Deluxbridge offers a different kind of luxury

Outer Reef's emphasis is less on dramatic styling and more on the comfort that comes from protection, storage and autonomy. An enclosed skylounge, substantial tankage and flexible aft accommodation can have a larger effect on a long voyage than another decorative feature.

For LYG buyers, the 720 Deluxbridge therefore represents a practical interpretation of luxury yachting. It is aimed at owners who measure the quality of a yacht by how easily it supports months of travel rather than by how quickly it crosses a short stretch of coastline.
