Futuristic yacht designs that float the waves with opulence

Buying a boat/yacht has always been a favorite pastime of the rich. Thanks to innovative designers and improvements in technology, the luxury transit industry has taken a life of its own with several new concepts hitting the market ever so often. Here we present to you a few of the top concepts to hit the recreational sports market.

Wakejet:

We shall start with a very personal wakeboard that is carbon fiber and seeks to alter the very landscape of water sports. From Raddin, this wakeboard electricity powered and can be controlled with energy-triggering wireless hand control. The creators claim that this oneโ€™s completely at home at ocean, sea, lake or even up a rapid.

Quadrofoil:

Quadrofoil 2

Moving to a two-person thing we present a personal watercraft tagged Quadrofoil. This electric hydro foiling watercraft is easy on the eye, water and environment. The outboard is custom-designed with c-foil technology, which gives it a buoyancy force. As a result, the vehicle floats on the water surface, minimizing the drag and improving the battery use. Going up to 100km on a single charge, the boat can clock up to 40km per hour.

C-explorer 3

Scuba diving is for the poor. Why risk limb when you can have the views safely ensconced in a submarine. From U-boat Worx, the c-explorer 3 is a spherical beauty that offers 360-degree panoramic views to a crew of three. Primarily designed for scientific exploration, c-explorer 3 operates on a 3-liter oxygen capacity for up to 16 hours and can go up to 1000 meters. It comes with a 43.2 kWH electrical lithium-ion battery which can propel it to an underwater speed of 3 knots. The submarine is 423 x 320 x 233cm in dimension and weighs in at 5950 kg.

Belafonte

Belafonte

For our last two items, we have picked out multi-million dollar super-yachts. The first among the two is the Belafonte designed by Federico Fiorentino. Gorgeous as can be, this one is inspired by sports cars and comes with five staterooms and a skylounge. The bronze colored beauty has a 2.5-year delivery time and comes with a hefty tag of $26.4million.

Star:

Star

We have saved the most dazzling concept for the last. The strikingly beautiful Star measures 435-foot Star looks like a pyramid from fronton. The concept is envisioned by the duo of Italyโ€™s Lobanov Design and Britainโ€™s BMT Nigel Gee. The boat is powered by eight generators and rotates in the water for maximum sun exposure thanks to its two azimuth thrusters. Now that is a recipe for a great tan.

So what do you have to say on our take on luxury and recreational travel? Do you have a favorite concept of your own? We would love to hear.
