10 Most Unique and Futuristic Yacht Designs

Yachts have always been something for the rich and famous. Most of us can only dream of ever owning one. I’d like to fuel this dream with amazing futuristic yacht designs. These creative designs show us that a yacht doesn’t always have to be dull or luxurious only they can also be inspirationally beautiful.

So here are some of the most unique futuristic yacht designs. Not all of these yachts are concepts, some of them are real. I hope you will like these.

Code X Yacht

This extremely cool yacht was designed by Code X AG, a Swiss company based in Meggan on Lake Lucerne. This yacht combines solar technology with Formula 1 engines. If you combine these ingredients with a kick-ass design, you end up with this jaw-dropping yacht.

Wally Hermes Yacht

The Wally Hermes Yacht was designed around space, shade and light. This yacht offers 200 square meter suite covering the entire third floor. You can even invite plenty of your closest friends, because there are five guest suites located on the second floor.

Eden

The Eden is a luxury yacht that was designed by Daniel Hahn. The goal of this design study was to create luxurious yacht which relied on its aesthetics more than technical innovation. All in all, I think this is a really striking design that will definitely turn heads.

Ocean Emerald

The Ocean Emerald is the first of four identical yachts that will be launched over the next two years. The next two super-yachts will be called ‘Ocean Pearl’ and ‘Ocean Sapphire’. This cool yacht has four deck levels where you’ll find suites, a saloon, bathrooms…

Earthrace

The Earthrace is an alternative fuel powered trimaran. The goal of this project is to break the world record for circumnavigating the world in a powerboat. It actually succeeded with a time of 60 days, 23 hours and 49 minutes.

Oculus

This 250 foot beauty has an awesome exterior which symbolizes the bone structure of the jaw and eye socket of large oceanic fish and mammals. In my opinion, this is the coolest yacht in this list. It looks so stylish and elegant, unlike anything I’ve seen before.

118 WallyPower

The 118 WallyPower is a high performance super-yacht with some striking features. This boat looks like the aquatic offspring of a stealth bomber and KITT from Night Rider. The superstructure is made of a carbon frame to ensure the best possible performance.

Infinitas

The design of the Infinitas was inspired by the symbol for infinity which has been abstractly expressed within the yacht’s elevation. A central ‘spine’ holds the loop together allowing the yacht’s superstructure to seamlessly flow within itself.

Poseidon 180

The Poseidon 180 is a yacht that was designed by the Giancarlo Zema Design Group. It measures 180 feet in length. The main features of the Poseidon 180 are the huge glass dome. This glass dome ensures you have the best panoramic view possible.

Marino 52

Well, according to Barrett Prelogar and Franco Marino Cagnina it can. They describe the Marino 52 as motion art. The function and purpose of every single component has been studied at the most finite level of detail. This eye for detail results in a sleek, high-tech yacht.
