| The Radical NEW Marco Polo!
I'm getting the editorial prepared right now. Will upload shortly. This one is a STUNNER!!! Benetti, in conjunction with Fincantieri Yachts, introduced a new Camillo Costantini design at the Miami Boat Show. Here comes Marcopolo...

I don't mind new designs but this one is to far from my traditional tastes.
I'll pass.

Nice sky lounge!
I would have thought that there would be more deck area for dining / parties ect.
Looks a bit too enclosed.

Far out design I like it. But I see no way for the crew to get to the bow. Is there a website for that builder?

If you look at the picture of the top of the yacht, you can see a dark grey cross on the bow, just in front of the bridge, I think that cross has stairs leading up from a curved walkway running under the overhang under the bridge windows. You can just see the end of the walkway if you look at where the hull makes it's final step up for the bow.
Did I make sense?  
I've seen two other pics of this yacht before, there is a pool under the glass rear that looks beautiful.

I really hope the designer will do the first washdown on those aft windows!
Oh I forgot nobody minds salt spots and streaks on the windows.

While it has some neat aspects to it, there's more not to like about this design visually for me. I'll give the designer some credit for thinking outside the box, though. At first glance, I think the only aspect I really like about it is the stern (see model pic). It's got a neat, retro style to it, seemingly pulled from a classic car or one of the many tenders that have this style (see tender thread). Definitely different...

We evidently think alike... yesterday afternoon as I was driving home I suddenly thought to myself "that yacht should be named Nautilus, not Marco Polo..."

Probably after Disney buys it for an upscale cruiser to send parents on.. 
Pretty cool design, love to see when someone sees the box is not made of concrete or metal, but of something more pliable.
Cheers,
Pete
