The $86 million superyacht that can ‘fly’ over water – Photos

The superyacht of the future presented by Lazzarini Design Studio, giving an idea of ​​how we will sail the seas in the coming years.

Powered by a hydrofoil system, the 74-meter-long vessel, known as the Plectrum, can rise above the surface of the water and seemingly “fly” at high speeds.

According to the Italian studio team, the design was heavily inspired by the monohulls used in the America’s Cup, one of the oldest international yacht sailing competitions.

But instead of being pushed by the wind like a sailing yacht, this huge shiny orange vessel will be powered by three hydrogen engines capable of up to 5,000 horsepower each.

While foiling technology dates back many years, its popularity has increased recently. However, building a hydrofoil of this size would undoubtedly be an extremely important achievement.

Although the design is just a concept, the designers say it could be built within two years at a cost of around $87 million (€80 million) if a buyer is found.

“We like to remember that in 1964, the shipbuilding industry was already capable of similar boat construction,” the designers said in a statement.

This “different superyacht configuration” will enable “much faster sea voyages than conventional ships of a similar size,” adds the Lazzarin team.

Constructed from a blend of dry carbon fiber composites, the lightweight superyacht is “designed to be the fastest of its kind” and will be capable of reaching a top speed of 75 knots.

In terms of on-board amenities, the yacht will be equipped with six guest cabins, an owner’s suite, a helipad and a beach club with a pool on four levels.
