Each floor is placed on one another with unusual arrangement to allow views from various living rooms for guests and crews. When you approach this superyacht, the acropolis-like stairs are lit, slowly while the cantilever of the floor provides a warm arrival and welcome you.

One thought on “Glass Superyacht by Lujac Desautel

  1. Obviously this designer has never been to sea, nor has he calculated the cost/effort/crew necessary to keep such an ugly thing habitable and afloat.
