Flying Yacht?

An incredible futuristic yacht levitates over the waves and takes up to six passengers at speed of 43mph across the seas. Looking more like a James Bond villain’s secret lair, the luxury concept features a vertical strut attached to a submerged hull. Created by London-based architect Jonathan Schwinge, the space-age concept could carry a total of 10 individuals including crew of four.

 

The yacht features sun decks, an outdoor dining area and retractable stairs for divers.

 

Schwinge said: "The design is instigated by the rethinking of the form, superstructure and propulsion of the modern superyacht into a radically simple enclosure and an elevated mode of travel above the water line.”

 

"A three-based pyramid consisting of four faces and six leading edges provides fundamental stability and enclosure.

 

"Long distances are achievable with reduced out-of-water drag and stormy ocean conditions would incur virtually no slamming."
