Unusual and sometimes provocative looks, original shapes and innovative design. These boats – each in their own way – were able to influence the development of the yachting industry. Do you like their appearance or not, one thing is true: they attract the eye wherever appeared.
Crazy Me
Judging by the title, the owner of this yacht is well aware of the effect she should produce. However, the main project was not the form but the content. The developers of the Dutch shipyard Heesen Yachts has literally put his soul to a Crazy Me was so unique. You would never have thought that this vessel, reminiscent of a space cruiser of some star of the Opera, quite a lot of open spaces to relax on the upper deck – they are just not visible for the bizarre superstructure.
50-meter yacht Crazy Me was built in 2013 by Heesen Yachts design developed by private architects of the shipyard, with the participation of designers from Gary Grant Design (exterior) and Cristiano Gatto Design (interior).
The yacht has an all-aluminum hull and superstructure. Maximum hull length (LOA) is 50 meters, a maximum width of 10 meters. On Board the vessel provides accommodation to 12 guests in 6 staterooms. The maximum speed of the yacht is 21 knots.
Yas
One of the most controversial projects of 2015 was the 141-foot motor yacht Yas built in the UAE in the shipyard of Abu Dhabi Mar. This is a huge ship, like a Dolphin, was once a Dutch military frigate 1977 built, and in 2011 became a yacht Swift141, which was subsequently revised.
Can you imagine how many lights inside this glass-bound ship, which currently occupies the 8th place in the top ten largest yachts in the world.
The maximum length of the steel hull Yas is 141 meters, maximum width 15 metres, draught of 4.3 meters. On Board there is space for 60 guests and 56 crew members. The numbers are impressive no less than appearance, isn’t it?
Ocean Sapphire
Due to the nearly symmetrical case design, it is very difficult to understand, approaching the boat or removed. But it’s absolutely certain that you some time can’t take my eyes off her. It was calculated in 2010, the creators of Ocean Sapphire – shipbuilders and architects from Rodriquez Yachts, the designers of the exterior and interior of Foster & Partners.
The yacht has a aluminum case maximum length of 41 meters, a maximum width of 8.4 meters and a draught of 2.3 metres. On Board there are 6 cabins for 12 guests.
Regularly Ocean Sapphire for Charter, its cost per week is 115 000 – 130 000 Euro per week.
Guilty
Perhaps the second most famous yacht from our list. Still, this colour simply impossible to forget. This is a real blinding Razzle Dazzle camouflage, which was painted ships in the First world war, recreated on sketches by the artist Jeff Koons. Not surprising and even seem quite obvious that the owner is Guilty – a collector of works of art.
Guilty yacht was built in 2008 by Italian shipyard Cantieri Navali Rizzardi by the architect Arrabito Naval Architects. Designers of the exterior and interior were made by the Studio Porfiristudio.
Hull length of not Guilty is 35.3 m, width of 7.4 meters, a draught of 2.2 meters. On Board provides accommodation for 10 guests and 5 crew members. The maximum speed of 29 knots.
Motor Yacht A
It is believed that the name of the Russian businessman Andrey Melnichenko became known to the world only because of this boat. Up to the present time “A” is considered to be one of the most eccentric and ambitious yacht projects. 119-metre mega-yacht was designed by Philippe Starck and Martin Francis and built in Kiel under the control of German shipyard Blohm + Voss in 2008. The project cost amounted to $ 300 billion.
The ship is equipped with two 20-cylinder diesel engine MAN RK280 with a total capacity of 12 000 HP Maximum speed at full speed in calm weather is about 23 knots. At a cruising speed of 19 knots cruising range of the yacht is 6,500 miles that she can overcome for 16 days, spending 750 000 liters of fuel.
Interior trim and equipment of the yacht complies with the status of such vessels and includes many designer finds and a lot of entertainment equipment. On Board in seven cabins accommodate 14 guests and a crew of 42 people.
