The world's first hydrogen-powered
superyacht was unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show. Here's a look inside the
game-changing 367-foot vessel concept.
A model of a 367-foot yacht designed to run on liquid hydrogen
was unveiled last week at the Monaco Yacht Show,
the world's biggest superyacht event, Forbes reported.The detailed miniature model, presented by a Dutch firm called Sinot Yacht & Architecture Design, is just
over 6 1/2 feet and showcases the innovative direction the superyacht industry
is taking.
The watercraft, named Aqua,
would be the first superyacht to run on liquid hydrogen and fuel-cell
technology, Sinot said. The yacht's only emission would be water, and the
system would depend on two 28-ton vacuum-sealed tanks of liquid hydrogen stored
at -423 degrees Fahrenheit.
Beyond cutting-edge technology, the vessel would feature
state-of-the-art design and amenities. Here's a look at renderings of Aqua and an inside glimpse at the
future of eco-conscious superyachting.
Aqua,
the 367-foot superyacht designed to run entirely on liquid hydrogen, would
operate at a top speed of 17 knots and have a range of 3,750 nautical miles.
The
technology depends on two 28-ton, vacuum-sealed tanks that store liquid
hydrogen at a cool -423 degrees Fahrenheit. The tanks would be viewable through
a glass panel at the base of a spiraling staircase at the center of the vessel.
The
superyacht's futuristic looks aim to complement its eco-conscious, cutting-edge
technology with the luxurious air of a typical superyacht, according to the
designer.
The
team at Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design spent five months designing Aqua.
"Our challenge was to implement fully operational liquid hydrogen and fuel
cells in a true superyacht that is not only groundbreaking in technology but
also in design and aesthetics," the lead designer, Sander Sinot, said in a
press release.
The
exterior was inspired by the flow of ocean swells, resulting in curved exterior
lines and glass band windows.
The
five-deck superyacht would accommodate 14 guests and 31 crew members.
It
would have a master pavilion, two VIP staterooms, and four regular staterooms.
All rooms would feature floor-to-ceiling windows and have a minimalistic,
Japanese-inspired style.
Amenities
would include a cascading infinity pool and extensive outdoor lounging space.
In
addition to several casual indoor-outdoor entertaining spaces, the yacht would
have a formal dining area that seats 14.
The
superyacht would also have an expansive indoor health and wellness center
featuring a gym, a hydro-massage room, and a yoga studio, reflecting the
wealthy's growing interest in wellness as a status symbol.
And
because superyacht owners love their toys, Aqua would also have carrying space
for two 32-foot tenders and three Jet Skis.
