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 megayacht’s transforming design opens up like a bird’s tail for a deeper interaction with the ocean!

Yachting is about exploring beautiful, untouched locations to connect with nature and your environment. While most vessels – as elaborate as we have seen – keep occupants “confined within the shell,” a new concept of a megayacht presents closer access to the nature it has ventured out to explore. Meet Indah, Malay for “beautiful”, conceived and patented by Florida-based designer Lukasz Opalinski of Opalinski Design House. The 120-meter megayacht concept features the biggest beach club ever thought. In addition to being spacious, this central attraction of the yacht extends into large deck space. This is made possible by the rotating transom bulkheads.

This yacht, with the extending beach club, has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure. The wide terrace at sea level leads back to the beach club which also features a gym and sauna with tainted glass aft. The owner would have the option to include a helipad with an optional hangar below the deck. Opalinski Design House dubs this as a “true ocean-going vessel,” which comprises 12 cabins with a massive 5,500 GT interior. 24 guests, with 32 crew at service, can be mesmerized in luxury and personal care on this megayacht featuring a private owner suite directly connected to a dedicated aft balcony.

The idea of rotating bulkheads allows the occupants more usable space at the water level. The seamless transition fashions a closed shell vessel to cruise and when anchored, the beach club can be deployed, guest can immerse themselves in surrounding waters – interact more closely with nature. As Opalinski put it, it’s “more space than just a relatively small swim platform.” It’s “space that can be used for all outdoor activities including water sports,” he adds. Indah is not just exquisitely designed, it is fathomed to have a conscious side for the environment as well.

The vessel is powered by small electric motors requiring less power, have surface coating layered with photovoltaics, and vertical wind turbines on board. Capable of reaching a top speed of 24 knots, truly the Indah megayacht is a new experience on the water no billionaire can deny!

This conceptual swan-shaped yacht will cost $500,000,000 to make!

Let me start this one with a huge bang, sit down before you continue reading. This mega yacht will cost $500,000,000 to construct if it ever happens! Are we still breathing? Good, now let’s move to the details.

Pierpaolo Lazzarini of Lazzarini Design Studio is known for his unique and extraordinary watercraft creations and this swan-shaped concept yacht called ‘Avanguardia’ tops the list. The name means ‘vanguard’ and it comes from the position of its control tower which is perched like a swan’s head. Can you guess which 1970’s Japanese manga unintentionally inspired this? Avanguardia is subdivided into 5 decks and can fit up to 60 passengers. The  ‘swan head’ is the control tower which is used to maneuver this 137-meter long, almost outrageous, yacht. Another interesting feature about the control tower is that it can detach from the ‘neck’ and transform itself into an auxiliary 16-meter boat. When in motion, the mobile control tower can adjust Avanguardia’s position by lowering itself right into the center of the yacht.

Moving away from the swan’s crown, you’ll see a personal port for two jet capsules on the rear deck and they are also designed by Lazzarini. These jet capsules can be attached to the structure thus creating extra auxiliary propulsion for the giant yacht. The concept imagines propulsion with twin, fully electric side engines and a central MTU Rolls-Royce engine for a boost in the speed which will let it smoothly cruise at 18 knots. If it actually comes to life I would like to see how the brand uses the budget to invest in designs and technology that makes this mega yacht more sustainable. I am sure designers will also see that is is mostly a stylistic exercise but Lazzarini says they can make it happen if they find the right investor – know anyone with $500,000,000 to spare?

Oil Tanker Turned Luxury Toy

Posted on by

From the same designers of the MY50M and Migaloo Submarine comes the world’s largest yacht design concept based on a 280 meter long SuezMax tanker platform. The project is named Imāra. The mega-ist of mega-yachts, the upcycled oil tanker turned private luxury floating residence may be larger than life but it’s also more environmentally friendly in comparison to newly constructed vessels. See what you get with all that room!

The exterior design is dominated by the slick hull painted in bright white with golden accents. For the superstructure of the tower, the design studio went for a custom design, but based on the shapes of common tanker superstructures. The overall exterior design concept was to generate a highly precious aesthetic combined with modern architecture-like elements but also incorporating every state-of-the-art super yacht feature.

The raised fore deck is dedicated to host 3 large helipads which guarantee fast departure or arrival of the owner and the guests. 2 of the helipads are lower able to the hangar which is located directly underneath. In total, the yacht is able to carry 5 choppers, 2 in the hanger and 3 on the heli deck above.

Another main exterior feature is the large atrium located amidships right above the wet garages and beach clubs. It stretches over 4 decks and generates imposing views from all angeles to the wet garages below, where tender and toys can be operated easily through 4 side hatches (2 on each hull side), each 15m wide. Tender up to to 90 feet can be docked in the yachts hull or can drive through the whole hull thanks to the 2 sided hatches.
