This 350-foot megayacht comes with its own private 'beach' onboard
Award-winning Norwegian design studio Hareide Design has released new renderings for a concept yacht.
Its name, the 108m, refers to its 108-meter-long "mono hull." To differentiate itself on the crowded superyacht scene, the boat includes a garden, a "beach" area, two pools, and a double-story "Grand Hall" with an enormous floor-to-ceiling window.
These features were designed to give the boat a seamless indoor-outdoor experience and provide a connection to nature, according to the designers.
"Today's mega yachts are most often designed like floating luxury hotels with interiors based on traditional luxury," Einar Hareide, founder of Hareide Design, told DesignBoom.com. "With this hybrid megayacht concept we want to shift the focus from extrovert admiration to creating a platform for actively experiencing the beauty of nature and the changing elements."
The design is just a concept for now, but it would certainly make a statement should the plans come to fruition.
The Hareide Design studio has created plans for the 108m, a huge superyacht concept with some pretty special features.
It has a "classic" monohull design, which has the "unique combination of elegance and modernity of Scandinavian design," according to the agency.
One of the most noteworthy aspects of the ship is near the rear, where the aft of the ship lowers into the water to form its own private beach-like shallow pool.
There's no sand, so it's more of a sloped wading pool with waves. This is just one more example of the boat's embrace of its natural surroundings.
On the upper deck, a garden and infinity pool would provide a peaceful place to relax.
From another deck above that, the views speak for themselves.
The galleys are spacious with clean lines. No matter where you are on the ship, the outside can be clearly seen or felt.
Inside, the Grand Hall provides a multiuse space. Its clear glass wall provides fantastic views of the surrounding sea.
The yacht would be powered by over 3,000 square feet of solar panels that could provide enough power for the boat at low speeds. At higher ones, the diesel part of the hybrid diesel-electric engine would kick in. There's also a helipad for quick boarding and de-boarding.
