The Worlds' Largest and Stupidest Yacht

[Mako]

Honestly I cannot believe people waste their time even drawing up a pretty picture for things like this. Perhaps it's just designers trying to get their names in the press so they can land real projects.

Perhaps an updated version of ResidenSea??

Nice dinghy.

I can't think of any marinas that could accomodate such a monstrosity, so can we talk about anchors? Type, weight, color, how many?

The logistics are staggering. It's the stuff of horror stories. Doomed to be forever at sea. No port able to accomodate the monstrosity. At five knotts not even able to avoid storms, perfect or otherwise.

Class 3 hurricane anyone?

Maybe the killer whales off the coast of Spain will develope a taste for turtle.

Pfft...

If $8 billion might be just a touch too pricey for some skinflint mega-billionaires, how about this: a submarine superyacht.

A 132 ft superyacht that is also a submarine, can dive to 200 meters, stay submerged for 4 days - and best of all, is targeted to cost a mere $25 million. Pocket change! That's less than waking around money for not just the uber-wealthy like Musk and Bezos, but well within the reach of your run of the mill dime a dozen in Greenwich Connecticut mere centi-millionaire hedge fund managers and private equity types.

It's as great an idea as the Novgorod.

Just because you can think of it doesn't mean you should draw it. Showed it to my grandchildren (7 & 10) - made them laugh. 7 thinks it looks like a turtle.
