$200m Beluga super yacht ‘emperor of the seas’
A NEW superyacht designed to resemble the shape of a whale
is set to offer the ultimate in luxury – for $200m.
What is it? The joint product of a design group and a decorative glass company, this outrageous 90-metre yacht derives its shape from, they claim, a whale and a traditional fishing boat.
Why is it so special? The whole forward deck is for entertaining, with a lounge area, bar and proper swimming pool that can be used while the yacht is under way. The creative thinking of Will Erens, founder of Puresang, and the expertise of Glass Deco have combined to produce this startling yacht.
Unveiled at the Monaco Boat Show last week, the Beluga yacht won the title of ‘The Best New Super Yacht Concept’.
But the ship is not just a concept – its designers are in talks with a major Dutch manufacturer to produce the vessel.
The spacious yacht features two living levels connected by a glass staircase and mezzanine.
The front of the yacht will include a beach club with a 14m long swimming pool, cocktail bar and a lounge area spanning two levels.
The owner’s suite is located on the roof in an oval, glass room while the belly of the Beluga holds five luxury suites with extendable balconies and ensuite spa.
The sunroof opens like the mouth of a whale and measures 100 square metres, a spokesperson for Pure-sang, the company that designed the yacht, said.
