Oceanco unveiled its new 377ft superyacht concept ‘Tuhura,’ conceived in collaboration with Lobanov Design Studio, BMT Nigel Gee and the interior designer Achille Salvagni. Though it won’t get into the list of the most expensive yacht all over the world Tuhura is truly in a category of its own, unlike any yacht on the market. Its design harkens back to ancient times. The exterior styling is reminiscent of early canoes; dugouts and other vessels used hundreds of years ago by indigenous people all over the world. The Polynesians, in particular, famously made long voyage explorations across thousands of miles of open Pacific Ocean in their outrigger canoes. The thinking behind revisiting basic primal forms is to evoke a sense of exploration and discovery.

Kathreen by Marko Petrovic is a design study of an electric sailing yacht with the elements of modern contemporary art. It has been designed as a 45m long luxury yacht with elegant design. Massive shape and 2 solid structured solar sails. The inspiration was taken from modern architecture where main goals were simplicity, volume and aggressive but yet sophisticated design line. As for the sea inspiration the design resembles the body of a sword fish. This luxury sailing yacht is imagined as a 2 floor glass cabin yacht (first floor to be a lounge area and the second control center) 2 massive sails consist of solar power panels that were imprinted in sail material creating a giant web of collectable energy. Height of these sails is around 30m. Sharpe and edgy design perfect for cutting waves and together with large sails reaching high speed. Though this is just a concept once it’s made it could be listed in the top most expensive yachts of the world.

Most ships are dedicated to either luxury or discovery. The Scenic Eclipse Discovery Yacht is designed for both.

Named the ‘Alpha Centauri’, this sharp vessel combines the luxury of a super-yacht with the speed of a hydroplane race-boat. The 8.3m prototype has the looks of Batman’s personal power boat and has enough power to match the looks. A 9.5-liter V8 Big Block Chevrolet engine capable of developing 750 hp is used as power source coupled to a two-stage Scott jet-drive. The result is a mind-blowing top speed of 60 knots. This makes the Alpha Centauri vessel one of the most fastest superyacht tenders in the world. Built from a stainless steel frame, and a lightweight composite structure, the ‘Alpha Centauri’ hydroplane has a total displacement of just 1650 kgs. Interior refinements have been kept to a minimum, with four red leather racing-style bucket seats, bright red detailing, a Raymarine navigation system, and a Rockford-fosgate sound system that includes two subwoofers.

Sourcing a futuristic style that aspires to transcend imagination to become an advanced and modern reality, the “L’Amage” superyacht concept is the work of visionary designer H.Bekradi, founder of HBD Studios. Its exterior displays minimalist profiles with clean lines, such as an inclined character edge running from its helipad to its beach club tender, and touches of personality with large details of complementing wooden decking. With a total measurement of 190 meters in length and 28.6 meters in width, the vessel’s hull design presents an inverted bow that creates a strong and sleek shape. First previewed at the 2017 Monaco Yacht Show, the 190 meter HBD studios’ “L’Amage” superyacht has a passenger capacity of 28 guests, featuring 14 staterooms, a private apartment for the owner, and space for up to 70 crew members. Furthermore, it is equipped with advanced technologies to push the concept to the forefront of naval design. Claimed to be the “first superyacht project to incorporate the flat panel satellite technology by KYMETA”, the concept replaces the unsightly domes that normally sit on top of yachts. Instead, the flat satellite panels are hidden away behind exterior walls, resulting in a much lighter and purer aesthetic. Enhancing CODAG – an advanced propulsion system which combines diesel engines and gas turbines – as well as controllable-pitch propellers, the “L’Amage” superyacht produces 95,000 hp that pushes it to a max speed of 32 knots. Additionally, the water vehicle has a fuel capacity of 1,500 tons and approximately 6,000 nautical miles of independence.

Sometimes the only thing boats share with the sports cars that “inspired” them is their name and a coat of paint. That is demonstrably not the case with the Palmer Johnson x Bugatti Niniette 66 Yacht. The curving line that defines the sides of the Chiron is carried over to the 20-meter-long vessel. On deck, there’s a luxurious lounge area, with a hot tub, fire pit, and champagne bar, and the interior quarters are similarly posh, with plenty of leather, suede, carbon, and polished metal, a guest bathroom, a galley kitchen, a skylight, and an enormous bed. Despite all this, the Man V8 engines are still able to propel the boat up to 48 knots, giving you the performance you’d expect from a yacht inspired by one of the world’s fastest cars.

The ‘K7′ from Austrian company, Kormoran, is a versatile luxury vessel that can speed on the seas as a catamaran, trimaran, monohull, or a hydrofoil. A pair of hydraulically actuated hulls allows the watercraft to transform on the sea, even when in motion. The kormaran ‘K7’ is a 23 foot speedboat that can change shape + pilot settings at the push of a button. Its electronically activated hydraulic-arms are central to its adaptability: when drawn inward, the outrigger hulls fold into a monohull watercraft; when deployed partially, the body stands above the water surface, acting as dual hulls of a catamaran watercraft; when deployed completely, the body is submerged effectively becoming the third hull of a trimaran watercraft. The luxury watercraft also features a set of fold-out hydrofoils, enabling it to lift the body further above the water in monohull mode, creating a smooth experience that reduces water resistance by up to 80 and consumes less fuel. Kormaran complements the ‘K7’s’ innovative design with materials that create a sense of prestige. Its overall structure is crafted from carbon fiber, the hydraulic arms are a blend of titanium and stainless steel, while the interior is trimmed in soft leather. The hull + deck surfaces are covered in veneers of black-jointed teak wood, providing ample room for occupants to sunbathe, or dive into the water. During the evening, an intelligent lighting system navigates the pilot through dark conditions, while red LEDs + aquamarine strip lighting provides the perfect ambience to appreciate the seascape at night. The luxury watercraft’s 493 horsepower ‘triple-jet-drive’ allows it to reach its top speed at 45 mph (70 km/h), travelling up to nmi (200 km). It measures 7 m (23 ft) in total length, and between 5 and 11.5 ft (1.5 and 3.5 m) in width, from the monohull to trimaran configurations. Sat at the rear of the pilot is a leather seat for two rear passengers, allowing the to get cozy while revelling in the luxurious cabin.

Montreal-based industrial designer Charles Bombardier created stunning concept. Named Seataci, this concept yacht uses Bombardier’s propulsion system in each of its connecting pods that would house an oscillating foil that pushes water like that tail of a whale. This system, Bombardier proposed, would generate less noise underwater, prove more efficient that propellers, and allow the vessel to venture into shallow waters. The yacht would also feature a ballast system used to sink its main hull as to allow passengers an underwater perspective, host a dining hall for events, observatory lounge, and a tropical garden on the deck with a pool and landing pads for personal drones. And since the Seataci boasts the unique ability to navigate shallow waters with ease, it would be used to traverse various atolls and archipelagos in fantastic fashion. This is just a concept for now but if you want to check real super yachts – check our list of top 10 expensive luxury yachts.

The 37-foot Aston Martin “AM37” powerboat made its world debut at the Monaco Yacht Show, marking the luxury British brand’s entry into the nautical world. The new day-cruiser is offered in two versions with the AM37’s expected to reach speeds of 50 knots. It arrives as the the result of two years of research and development, challenging the status quo of the nautical world and combining innovative technology and bespoke craftsmanship. The powerboat was a true team effort, bringing in the most experienced Aston Martin designers to style and create a truly unique product. The British-automaker’s master craftsmen who worked on cars such as ‘one-77′; “Vulcan”; and the new “DB11”, provided their automotive experience, which was reinterpreted onto the boat with outstanding results. The yacht is a day cruiser that can be transformed into an overnight berth by transforming the table into a comfortable bed. Tthe cabin is well appointed with mood lighting and air-conditioning. with a refrigerator, microwave oven and coffee machine–and a lavatory on board, absolute comfort is guaranteed. Crafted from the finest leathers, elegantly laid out rear seating is available for up to eight people. The exterior of “AM37” features dynamic proportions in a design that is simple, yet immaculately executed. The boat is set apart by the attention to detail in every element of its design. The wraparound windscreen has been created from a single piece of sculpted glass fluidly draped over the foredeck. With extreme double curvature it sets a new industry standard. Sliding deck technology allows owners to cover the cockpit of the boat completely at the touch of a button. The three lightweight carbon panels, operated by the ‘AM37′ key, fold under the aft deck when the cockpit is uncovered. An electro-hydraulic carbon fibre bimini top is stowed under the engine hatch when not in use and, extending from the aft deck, a swim platform allows for easy access to the water. At the helm, a carbon fibre dashboard echoes styling elements from aston martin’s most advanced sports cars. It includes fine leather with functional features, such as the steering wheel, throttle handles and joystick in polished metals. The boat’s navigation, control monitor and entertainment systems are all integrated, with advanced multimedia functions. The 37-foot model is available in two versions–the “AM37” with an estimated top speed of 45 knots and a choice of two 370 hp mercury diesel or two 430 hp mercury petrol engines. And the powerboats version with an estimated 50 knots derived from its twin 520 hp mercury petrol engines.

Award-winning studio, Hareide Design, has recently developed a concept for a super yacht that goes by the name “108M,” which comes from the form of the classic 108M mono hull design. Unlike many yacht designs that feel heavy and isolated from their surroundings, this one is designed to offer a number of spectacular views that encourage connections with the natural surroundings. An elevated dining and viewing area, a tranquil garden surrounding a 20m pool and a seamless transition to the water at the stern contribute to a completely new experience. Osn board, some of the design features of the yacht include dining and entertaining areas, as well as a garden, pool and helipad. “Today’s megayachts are most often designed like floating luxury hotels with interiors based on traditional luxury. With this hybrid megayacht concept we want to shift the focus from extrovert admiration to creating a platform for actively experiencing the beauty of nature and the changing elements,” says Einar Hareide, founder of Hareide Design. The “108M” also features high-efficiency solar panels with lithium-ion batteries that supply the large-scale sea vessel with a sustainable source of energy for moving along at a light cruising speed. As an alternative to this, cruising on the mega yacht can also happen at higher speeds with a switch to diesel-electric propulsion.
