A designer has unveiled jaw-dropping yacht concept that looks like a floating bird on the water. The luxury 427ft vessel – complete with full glass decks, a spa and a pool – is the brainchild of Turkish yacht designer Aras Kazar. Named after ‘Wakínyan’, the Lakota word for ‘thunder’, the 130-metre vessel is described as a “thunderbird” on water.
The boat is a trimaran, as it has three hulls, and comes equipped with electric and hydrofoil technology, giving it a top speed of 32 knots. Full-height tempered glass wraps each deck and allows natural light to fill the interior from all angles with sculptural wave-like designs shielding the open main deck aft from the elements. Inside, guests can enjoy five “soft, comfy, cloudy” bedrooms and one master bedroom.
Aras Kazar said: “Wakinyan is designed to make you feel calm and relaxed, whether you are enjoying it from inside or just looking at it from outside.”
The designer said Wakinyan is at a ‘concept level’ but could go into production if an investor is found. There is currently no estimated price for the model.
