July 2012 - The Showboat Design Awards held in Monaco this weekend granted Designer and Naval Architect Vripack from Holland with a Neptune Award. It is the ultimate showcase of Vripack her strong philosophy that the inside is equally important as the outside; they won specifically on their design of the layout of Expedition yacht E&E.

“We applaud the jury with their insight that a happy owner starts with a happy crew and that on board E&E the crew is very happy since they have a complete crew deck. A unique sight on a 500GT yacht”, explains Bart Bouwhuis of Vripack while smiling ear to ear.

“E&E is designed by us fully on the bases that form follows function and our Team is so proud to be rewarded with a Neptune for this. We already ordered cake for all of them!”
