ARKHAUS debuts the Villa 50 at the 2026 Miami International Boat Show
The next-generation floating villa — with interiors designed by Pininfarina — previews a new vision for life on the water inside the Ferretti Group exhibition.
Miami Beach, FL — January 28, 2026
ARKHAUS, the company redefining how people live, gather, and work on the water, today unveiled the design vision for the Villa 50, its next-generation reimagined 50-foot floating yacht and residence, at the Miami International Boat Show 2026 (February 11–15). The new design will be presented inside a dedicated ARKHAUS space within the Ferretti Group exhibition at the Miami Beach Yacht Collection.
More than a yacht, the Villa 50 is designed to feel like real architecture on the water. Stable, spacious, and built to function as a true livable environment, it is equally suited for private waterfront living or hospitality and social experiences. Instead of anchoring, the vessel uses deployable spuds that lift and stabilize the structure, creating a calm, solid, almost land-like feeling.
At the heart of the Villa 50 debut is a bold and completely new interior language designed by Pininfarina, the Italian design house known for its work with Ferrari, Maserati, Related, Coca-Cola and other legendary brands. Shaped through an in-depth exploration of materials, the interiors embrace a philosophy of lightness and comfort — combining marine-grade and commercial solutions with the sensibility of contemporary architecture.
"Villa 50 suggests a new way of living; an alternative residential model capable of expanding into a modular, floating community where nautical design and architecture merge into a people-centered experience."
— Paolo Trevisan, SVP of Design, Pininfarina of AmericaThe Villa 50 platform supports multiple configurations, including one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and commercial layouts. Some owners envision it as a waterfront residence or guest house, while others see it as a floating lounge, creative studio, or private hospitality venue.
"Pininfarina's approach brings a refined sense of style and emotion to the Villa 50. This collaboration defines how ARKHAUS will look and feel across recreational and commercial expressions moving forward."
— Sam Payrovi, CEO of ARKHAUSThe Villa 50 is built by Lyman-Morse, the storied American boatbuilder celebrated for precision craftsmanship. At the Miami International Boat Show, visitors will be able to step aboard the current ARKHAUS yacht and preview renderings and design materials showcasing the new Pininfarina interior concept.
Appointments are now available during the Miami International Boat Show to preview and pre-order 1-Bedroom, 2-Bedroom and commercial floorplans of the Villa 50.
