TheFuture — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 06:05:27 +0000

This amazing Oculus yacht design by Schopfer Yachts is really an amazing looker that literally can be said to be a design of the future. This 250 foot long yacht has luxury written all over it, be it the design or the interiors. In overall design, the added effect with the 12-foot high dome shaped ceiling is simply mesmerizing. The yacht is divided into three levels with the ground level being a common area for the guests to be entertained and the second and third level being private for the owner if chosen so, which are subsequently connected by stairs. All one can say is welcome to indulgence!

Text from website:
Oculus is the first “design launch” of Schöpfer Yachts LLC. This 250-foot vessel was designed by E. Kevin Schöpfer, founder and owner of his namesake company.

Designed to accommodate 12 guests in extraordinary comfort and style, Oculus is a long distance cruising yacht capable of speeds upwards of 25 knots.

The exterior styling is representative of the jaw and eye socket bone structure of large oceanic fish and mammals. Featuring a dramatic reverse bow configuration, the yacht’s armature balances an elegant expression of symmetry and structure.

In addition to the bow, Oculus also features a “low rider profile”. This slightly lowered surface allows for new side recreational areas, alternate dockage access and light cruising openness. Lateral retractable side panels close this area when heavier wave action is indicated.

The interior features of Oculus focus on a 12 foot high ceiling in the main salon, a cylindrical double height dining room, central stair and elevator tube, and seemingly anatomical ceiling and floor lighting extensions giving definition to the seating areas.

The second level is the dedicated Owner’s suite. Living areas and bedchambers are divided by a series of four freestanding tubes, which house bath and storage necessities.

In addition to the main common stair, the second Owner’s stair connects to the third level aft private salon and deck / water feature.

The third level also contains the forward pilothouse and separate captain’s quarters. The generous open decks with separate water features are located forward and aft for convenient guest use. Specifications and plans are in the final stages of completion and will be posted at a later time.

Mides Design Green Jet Yacht, Sailing To The Future …

TheFuture — Tue, 20 May 2008 06:03:35 +0000

Designed by Erik Sifrer, the Green Jet of Mides design is with all the anticipated quality, technology, and appointments but the thing, which stands out, is its environmentally friendly primary power source – wind. The upper deck has a wave like design, which is split, into two sections; the front one is for the crew members and the pilothouse whereas the mid section and the rear is for the owner and the guests. The central gyroscope build up Jacuzzi pool acts as a visible divider between the two areas. When the sails are up, the rigging appears so alluring almost sculpture like.

Not only this, but the pool is also designed to create a connection between and water outside. The skylight windows around the pool allows the light to pass into the large main salon of the Green jet, which gives a stunning effect of lavishness in the water

After Zeydon Z60 yacth, we’ve never discussed another luxury yacht. This time SABDES caught our eyes, a conceptual super yacht. SABDES is not just luxury icon of a yacht but also focusing to be environmentally friendly yacht, good contribution towards a greener earth. To produce yachts that stand out from the crowd requires an intuitive knowledge of design and styling crossing many industrial disciplines. Scott Blee, the designer, was thinking ahead for future system upgrades as technologies advance, eliminating major redesign and structural changes.

Each yachts systems are carefully considered in the early stages of design in order to minimize power consumption and emissions. Hull designs are optimized for minimal surface and hull wake, reducing their impact on sensitive marine life, and shoreline erosion. Aside from this yacht eco-sensitive slant, SABDES yachts are ultimately designed to be stylish.

Zeydon Z60 : Luxury of A Car in A Yacht

TheFuture — Mon, 30 Jul 2007 02:04:15 +0000

Do you think that you can have both the luxury of a car and a yacht ? If your answer is no, then think again, because that combination might happen sometimes in the future. BMW Designworks USA has worked with Belgian boatbuilder Zeydon to produce a 60-foot clas yacht, perhaps BMW will use the term of ‘Luxury Sports Cruiser’, since BWM usually refers to luxury SUV. This yacht is designed to fulfill the desire of having luxury yachting and great performance sailing.

The Zeydon Z60, an offshore yacht of the 60-foot class, combines the sailing performance potential of an offshore yacht with an ‘uncompromising’ range of equipment and the elegance of a modern luxury cruiser. DesignworksUSA was incorporated into the conceptual work during the initial phase of the project. It is believed that partnering in the project from the very beginning ensures that all requirements – both for performance and luxury – can be incorporated with minimal compromise.

The main goal of both the concept and the design of the Zeydon Z60 was to eliminate the ever-increasing contrast between offshore yachts and luxury cruisers.
