| Disco Volante 53 m/174´
This design is quite anonymous and could of course be more sexy if made today, or just paint the whole thing black if you like to turn heads.
But she will outperform most or all existing luxury yachts over 50 m when it comes to speed. The idea is to have a big diesel over a central steerable waterjet and two gas turbines with straight out waterjets each side. Benefits are of course more power at less weight and only when you need it. Normal transportation over long distances is with the single central diesel engine at about 15 knots. With the turbines at full effect she will exceed 50 knots.
Interior is also a little special with the bridge deck fully enclosed and just a walkway around the large upper saloon. You can see most of the planning yourself, but note the cabin below owners cabin for children or bodygards, connected via a private stairway to the office above.
