Lazzarini Design’s spaceship-styled yacht hones a panoramic rooftop jacuzzi

Posted on by

Italian designs studio Lazzarini Design is at it again with yet another eye-popping water vessel challenging the limits of design that could well be the future of leisure in premium style. Meet the Royal Alpha One yacht that’ll instantly appeal to the fat-pocketed oligarchs, since it is meant for pure indulgence at sea. Even better, the hull is ready for construction for buyers, with an estimated time of 16 months to completion.

The avant-garde vessel measuring 20 meters in length is all about the luxurious cruising experience for days on end. The supercar-like flowing design is dominated by sharp features and loads of glass surfaces that lend it an ultra-dynamic persona. If you remember the Royal Jet Capsule by the design studio, there is more than one trace of similarity between the two. One cannot deny the spaceship-like character of the yacht highlighted by the private jet-like layout, stylish chairs, couches and dining area. There are spacious lounge sections on the main deck, and the three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms in the lower living level will make the owners and guests feel right at home.

That’s only the usual bit of this $4 million vessel – highlight here is the swanky panoramic jacuzzi paired with a large sunbed. For most this will be the favorite spot on this yacht to soak up the sun and surrounding views of the seas. Nature lovers can also soak in the natural beauty on the rear section of the vessel where the open space hones a retractable swim pool platform. The carbon-fiber structure on all sides is complemented by the large glass surfaces, so you’ll get breathtaking views even when in the cozy confines of the yacht.

Of course, a yacht is no fun without the water toys, so the Royal Jet Capsule houses them in the dedicated spacious garage. The yacht is proposed to get a twin/triple Volvo propulsion system which will propel it to a top speed of around 32 – 42 knots. Buyers can also customize it to have full electric sailing, powered by hydrogen. The electric propulsion model will have a range of 120 miles whereas the diesel-powered counterpart gets 680 miles on a full tank.

For now, the Italian design studio has constructed the hull of the yacht with the superstructure to follow soon. The pace at which they have taken things forward in the development of the real version shows their confidence in the design, so rich brats better keep an eye on this one.

Lazzarini Design’s gargantuan helium-powered airship glides on water too

Posted on by

Italian design outfit Lazzarini Design Studio is known for its larger-than-life concepts that give us a deep dive of transportation in the future. Their new concept design breaks all the confined barriers of propulsion on water and in the air, taking things to the next level with the Air Yacht.

This compressed helium-powered flying yacht (yes, an airborne yacht!) is targeted towards private owners who will stop at nothing, and push the envelope of adventure – laden in luxury and style. The mega yacht (or should I say a big catamaran) measuring 492 feet will be a revolution in the aviation industry with its twin airships filled with helium. These gigantic airships will be connected via a central carbon deck measuring 33 feet wide consisting of a master cabin, living area, and a large dining section. The outer edges of the airship have five en suite staterooms each, so taking along best buddies for the adventure of their lifetime is certain.

Designer: Lazzarini Design Studio

Propulsion assistance for the airship is actuated via the solar panels on top. The ultra-light batteries store power and deliver it to the eight contra-rotating electric rotors on the side when required. To propel such a large airship a huge amount of helium gas is required, and the Air Yacht stores it in honeycomb-like hives holding close to 14.1 million ft3 of compressed helium. As a result, this craft can fly for 48 hours non-stop, at a speed of 60 knots!

The filthy rich can also have the optional Helipad to extend their adventure into places where the Air Yacht cannot go due to its huge size. Right by the helipad is an exquisite swimming pool for sun-soaked leisure days. All these features make this flying vessel an exclusive possession for the affluent whenever someone is enchanted by Lazzarini Design Studio’s ideation. When it’s time to land the rotors shift the position downwards for the needed thrust to land smoothly. The helium is depressurized and the ballast anchoring system keeps it steady on the water while being propelled forward at a speed of 5 knots.

Having talked of all the advantages of such aircraft, we also have to dig our memories and remember the LZ 129 Hindenburg disaster. The perils of highly inflammable hydrogen gas have been replaced by non-inflammable gas for a safer journey while being airborne. But the gas leaks and the whole rig coming down crashing on the ground due to lack of adequate helium pressure in the airships cannot be counted out. But at face value, this aircraft is absolutely something the future will take with both hands open. I just hope, the advanced future technologies will solve the little loopholes with such aircraft for safer expeditions.

This superyacht with a gaping void in the middle is built for exploration in style

Posted on by

Could yachts in the future with gaping holes be the next big trend? If we are to believe what Lazzarini Design Studio has conceptualized in the past, and with this sleek piece of creation- the answer will be a resounding, yes! For the blueprint of their latest concept yacht, the design studio adapts the flair of the Shape yacht but with certain distinctions that make it stand out from the rest.

The silhouette of the Xenomorph head from the Alien franchise is an apparent relatable element, and the traces of Avanguardia yacht are also evident. So, has the Italy-based design house finally hit saturation with its thinking cap on? Most definitely not, as the 279-foot Icaria vessel hones massive deck space for two helicopters to park and a full-fledged tender garage to house a couple of watercrafts, accessible via two foldable doors. The superyacht has an imposing bow followed by a large glass bridge. Icaria is more tailored for explorers who like to tread out into the rough waters. For times when adventure seekers need to relax in the warmth of the sun, there is the gorgeous deck right by the hollowed-out area the designers refer to as “hole deck.”

This unique needle’s eye-like area is for the clients to customize as per their liking. It could be used as a dining section, a lounging area, or a cool open club like none other on the face of the planet.  By default, Lazzarini Design Studio wants to offer it as a flamboyant bar since the beam is almost 49 feet tall. As opposed to the Shape, the design studio hasn’t detailed in on the propulsion system of the Icaria superyacht. A wise guess would be, it also runs on the hydrogen-powered guts. Any which way, if this yacht meets fruition sometime in the future, it’ll be a head-turner for sure!

The folding rear deck of this Prancing Horse-inspired hyperyacht holds your Ferrari!

Posted on by



A hyperyacht inspired by Ferrari instantly reflects the signature design language of the famous Italian carmaker. In addition to pulling design inspiration, the Gran Turismo Mediterranea (GTM) also makes room for a Ferrari in the back!

Luxury yachts or superyachts, if you may, inspired by supercars are not new to the marine world. Yacht-makers have toiled in the space one a million times and there are some fine examples like the ‘phenomenal Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63’ which comes to mind. Now taking that same idea beyond the Lambo to Ferrari, Lazzarini Design Studio has crafted an impeccably sleek GTM concept that evokes the Prancing Horse in mannerism, style and consciousness.

Delivering to the desirous a notion of how a Ferrari would look like on the water, the Lazzarini GTM doesn’t give out the car it may be based on, but does replete the Prancing Horse DNA without a doubt. The two companies have not collaborated on the design, so you cannot earmark this one as official, but the concept has a design worth seeing the light of the day someday. Beyond the inspired look, the Gran Turismo Mediterranea is an 88-foot, sporty yacht, made using the Ferrari-favored carbon fiber.

Undeniably Ferrari for the seas, this design renders appear with a Ferrari badge on the front, gullwing doors and a cabin that welcomes the owner and crew into a sportscar-esque cockpit that ensure you don’t feel any difference from the Italian stallion’s driver seat to the pilot seat of this hyperyacht. As expected, this isn’t just a peach on show; for some muscle-power, the marine genius is powered by a hybrid propulsion system comprising a trio of MAN v-12 engines. It also features an Arneson transmission and a central Hamilton Jet drive for propelling the sea-beast into high speeds.

Discussing the top speeds, this hyperyacht with a folding sundeck that doubles as an extending garage for your Ferrari – so you can drive in and out of land most conveniently, can reach top speeds of 70 knots (approximately 80mph). Meant to glide over the waves with more speeds and less drag – akin to how the Ferrari rides on land – the GMT will make some billionaires cringe if it didn’t ride its way to the waters in the near future.

This shape-shifting superbike deserves a cameo in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts!

Posted on by

Motorbike concepts come and go – but there are some that leave a lasting impression. The Hypercycle by Lazzarini Design is one of them, courtesy of its Cyberpunkish personality and the shape-shifting rear design that turns it from a cafe racer to a drag racer in the blink of an eye!

Lazzarini Design has bamboozled the design community with their extravagant yachts and powerboats in the past – but they have also created the odd superbike design that has gone under the radar. Fortunately, this one dubbed the Hypercycle is nothing that you would normally associate with a bicycle, rather, a superbike destined for an expressway skirmish with other fellow bikers. The streamlined shape of the motorbike and the big chunky tires are a tell-tale sign of its racing character. Just as I’m about to label it a cool superbike for the racing tracks (glancing over at the pointy front section), the side profile with the extendable rear wheel section having an independent horizontally aligned wishbone suspension, makes me believe it is a drag racer. Also, I can’t help but give it the café racer tag for obvious reasons. So, this one is your race track bike, drag racer and café racer, all-in-one; thanks to the movable rear wishbone!

Either way, the Hypercycle is made for high-speed, adrenaline-inducing fun. Just look at that color theme dominated by red and white with hints of gray on the bodywork. The spoked golden allow wheels match perfectly with the suspension. Coming back to the front section, the sharp aesthetics and the flashy character give it the Transformers-like vibe, and those mean headlights further strengthen the assumption. It could very well be a part of the Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, that’s if Stephen Caple acknowledges the idea!

The rider should be able to hit break-neck speeds without any discomfort or lack of confidence – the wide wheels and the whole visual balance of the bike reassure the fact. Overall Lazzarini Design has managed to create a superbike that doesn’t look overdone, and in a way goes toe-to-toe with other impressive concept bike designs we’ve much appreciated all these years!

Lazzarini Design’s Cyborg hypercar steams into a future dominated by performance oriented EVs

Posted on by




A concept hypercar destined to set the tarmac on fire, as the machine stamps its authority over other four-wheelers. The beefy build and the intimidating front section of the car are comparable to a super fit bodybuilder in his prime.

Lazzarini Design Studio is the epitome of perfection and future-forward designs that’ll pave way for transportation, architecture and aerospace. The founder Pierpaolo Lazzarini has created a niche for his brand in the design space and their automotive creations are an inspiration, to say the least. Along with the flamboyant yacht and watercraft designs, the design studio wants to change the future landscape of commuting in style with equally impressive automotive creations.

The gull-winged Cyborg is a good example of this radical thinking that’ll shape the element of ludicrous style and power for four-wheeled beasts in a decade’s time. Machines capable of breakneck speeds while being powered by an electric powertrain. All this without compromising on the bold character capable of intimidating any other hypercar on the freeway. A form that’s comparable to a muscular fighter in the heavyweight category. Lazzarini Design seems to have drawn its inspiration from the acclaimed Bugatti Chiron on the front section, having a contoured flowing shape well complimented by the slim array of LED headlights.

From the sides and the rear section, it gives off the peculiar Bugatti Bolide hypercar vibe. The middle sections look a lot slimmer though and the muscular build-up on the front and rear makes me draw parallels with a toned bodybuilder who’s had the right dosage of steroids for muscle mass just at the right spots. The design studio refers to this creation as a half-human half-machine, which goes perfectly with my analogy (I hope so). The Cyborg indeed is a racing machine built for the future – one that you would keep staring at each time it blasts past you on the highway. The future indeed is exciting if Lazzarini Design Studio’s concept meets fruition!

This sleek hyper boat with a gorgeous translucent hull is styled to deliver speed in its tiny package!

Posted on by

A speed boat made for the influential lot, who crave the adventure of riding calm waters with style and panache.

Exquisite yacht and boat designs are nothing alien to Lazzarini Design Studio, and the anticipation for what’s new coming from their kingdom is always on my radar. Such is the creative IQ of the Italian design studio headed by Pierpaolo Lazzarini. The sublime design of The Shape, the cuteness of the swan-shaped Avanguardia, or the distinctiveness of the crab-inspired Pagurus – Lazzarini Design is millimeters perfect with their skill.

Their latest creation, christened Embryon is a super cool cruise boat designed for the adventure of riding the open waters. A machine made for thrill-seekers who want to feel the air in their hair, and head towards the horizon, with no bounds. This 24 meters hyper boat is dripped in luxury on the inside as well as the outside. The high pointed nose on the front is tailored for cutting through the waves, as the Embryon glides at top-notch speeds in the seas and oceans. The translucent honeycomb design on the hull reflects the landscape around, signifying a hypnotic symphony of speed and the tranquil blue waters.

The sun deck section is where all the adrenaline-inducing action happens as the crew takes the opulent owners and their friends for the ride of their life. This area has an L-shaped lounger on either side, and further down there is a luxe sunbed. When the sun sets down and the chill in the air calls for the much-needed rest, the plush bedroom and the owner’s cabin are the ideal sanctuary for a restful time. The crew cabin gets its own small cabin for dozing off. The hyper boat can accommodate 6 people in total with additional two members of the crew, which is quite commendable.


Lazzarini Design truly impresses with this sleek boat design that looks good in the blueprint, and also when it finally hits the waters. Zooming away into the distance on this hyper boat with the golden sunset spilling over the seas is what I’m imagining right now with the Embryon. What’s your fantasy?

This sleek superyacht with its hollowed out center challenges and revolutionizes the luxury automotive world

Yachts are a synonym with luxury and flight of the fancy, and this incredible-looking concept yacht is all of that with something special that has never been seen in the past. A large void right in the middle just like a hole in the needle.

Lazzarini Design is known for its eccentric future-forward creations, superyachts in particular. Founder Pierpaolo Lazzarini pushes the envelope of design, modeling and engineering with every concept design of his – the latest one being right up there with his best concept ideations. Christened “The Shape” this superyacht breaks all the fundamental rules of sailing and yacht design that we’ve seen so far. It has a gaping hole right in the middle (just like the ones in modern skyscrapers) that serves as the sun deck and a never-before-seen unique visual attraction. How it will address the turbulent seas when the weather is hostile, is a question for another day!

The beastly concept is 69 meters long and having a draft of 3.90 meters yacht offers a living area of 35 meters past the void. It has three decks hidden in the colossal structure – the first floor having the suites, the second one being the shared living space, and the command center on the third. There will be three small pools on the aft deck and a normal-sized beach club if ever it makes it to the real world. Just above the gaping hole is the glass-bottom swimming pool which will be another eye-popping lure on-board.

There’s not much space to give the yacht enough room for things like a big nightclub, cinema room or an expansive gym – but then the huge deck could be used for socializing or enjoying the open view on a sun-baked day or starry night. The Italian design studio doesn’t provide much information on the propulsion system but we assume it is going to be a hybrid propulsion system that is in part powered by the solar panels on the sundeck.

Everything said “The Shape” superyacht will be the preferred toy for billionaires who want to enjoy the calm waters with their close ones. A machine that is good-looking and made for magazine covers – the perfect recipe for people who like to be in the spotlight of things!

This futuristic superyacht doubles up as a floating seaport for other boats & costs $300 million!

Posted on by




Remember that swan-shaped megayacht that was costing $500,000,000 to make? Well, Lazzarini Design Studio is here to wow us again with this 328-foot long (100-meter) superyacht that also doubles up as a private seaport for smaller boats! Elegantly named ‘Saturnia’, this conceptual superyacht is designed to be made entirely with dry carbon fiber structures that will make it 50% lighter than similar-sized vessels and push the top speed up to 30 knots!

the main body of saturnia subdivides into five floors plus the top antenna area. the vessel can be configured into different layouts, accommodating between 10 and 20 guest suites and 20 crew members.

Lazzarini’s concept features an all-around walkable deck area and openings on both sides that lift up to reveal a private port for tenders. tenders with up to 1.5 meters of draft can moor inside the private port or be easily loaded while the yacht is navigating.

the upper part of the openings extend into glass-bottomed decks. inside the centrally-located private port, large sliding windows maximize connection to the outside. meanwhile, the side openings can extend from the upper deck into glass-bottomed lounge areas.

designed with hybrid propulsion, the yacht utilizes twin side diesel engines and a central electronic water jet system, which can push the yacht with zero emissions. Lazzarini Design Studio estimates that the saturnia superyacht concept could be built for $300,000,000 USD in about 30 months.

This ultra-light carbon fiber sphere can fly, run on land and float on water!

Posted on by




Italian designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini has crafted a niche for futuristic designs under the Lazzarini Design Studio since 1982 – with most of the creations simply outlandish. The projects by Pierpaolo are mostly centered on the automotive and watercraft concept designs – centered on the future of comfy mobility. The latest blueprint for an amphibious vehicle that can fly is right up there with the best for its sheer design excellence. The Italian design studio calls it the Stratosfera – and it can move on water, land, as well as in air. According to the designer, there are submarine and snowcat variants of the vehicle also under development. I can already imagine getting on board and having a thrilling ride on this futuristic concept!

The vehicle is dubbed Stratosfera Aquatica in watercraft mode – having a spherical design measuring 1.65 meters in diameter – like a small pod for two people. The sphere is made out of ultra-lightweight carbon fiber material, and in the water mode, it has a very low center of gravity since the batteries are fitted inside the lower end of the extendable foil setup. This acts as a gyroscope to keep the sphere pod stable via the self-balancing system for a smooth ride en route to the destination. This ensures the tilting angle of the Stratosfera counters any abrupt movement for a comfort-laden ride for the passengers. The pod is powered by twin 150 hp electric jet engines – propelling it forward high above the water at speeds of 30 knots – and when the speed is slowed down the pod comes down on the surface of the water.

In the flight mode, the Stratosfera Volatile adapts the characteristics of a quadcopter, flying at speed of 250 km/h eVTOL or can be set up for solar-powered flying mode too. The good news is that the Jet Capsule company plans to launch Stratosfera as an open-source project by mid-2022. This will immensely help in futuristic mobility study as owners will be able to contribute to the development and designing upgrades of the watercraft.
