Fill´er up and go around the world. Bring your toys and tools, including a yellow submarine and the helicopter. This yacht is designed to look more as an explorer than a yacht, on the outside. Inside she should look like an old atlantic passenger steamer, if you ask me. With a few exceptions, like the diamond elevator that brings you up to the crows nest, or the extensive bridge with all modern equipment including a color sonar. The hullsides has a special teflon treatment for less maintenance during extensive passages.
Then you can really say; been there - done that...

[AMG]

Key words are, No-nonsense, go-anywhere, owner-operated, casual-living, low-maintenance and why not dream-yacht? With heavy-duty equipment, large deck areas and practical space for diving gear and other necessities in the stern garage with its transom hatch/platform.
This yacht can serve as your home for years while exploring remote areas of the world, without getting the attention as a luxury yacht would.
Can be built with or without a flybridge as you see.

[AMG]

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.

Exactly seven years ago I got the brief from a shipyard to come up with a stylish Yachtfish around 40 m. She should have twin MTU/DDC 4000 and a TF50 Gas Turbine to achieve a top speed of 40 knots.
You can see my proposal here.

I never really heard what the client thought about it, but he choosed to build a 46,6m Feadship said to reach 33.5 knots with the same engines.

[AMG]

This afternoon I thought I should try to design an expedition style yacht with a helipad and garage. As you can see on the development, often the concept gets bigger after a while and what started as a 70 m became a 91.5 m in the end.
The way yachting seems to go these days, bigger and bigger...

[AMG]

As if 90 meter wasn´t enough, but I wanted to see if it was possible to make a yacht of 170 m without the look of a cruise ship.
Since there are almost no marinas taking this size of yacht, you have to carry a number of good size tenders and maybe more than one helicopter. So I made two big landing pads and a heli-garage under the aft one. Two Solas approved life boats are stored in a pocket at the transom.
Well, how long will it take before we see yachts of this magnitude?

Hej LArs,

Thank you for posting so much of your work on this site, that is truely inspiring to me. It appears that i have a similar history of drawing boats , and striving to design vessels that will oneday exsist in their element. I have also many designs and concepts perhaps not as detailed as yours, but have alwys kept them to my self in fear of one day seeing a design of mine floating around with someone elses name on it. However your openess to post your design here, and the quality and in somecases the similarity between your designs and soem of my ideas has inspired me to post some of my designs here too, perhaps one day it could lead to a a real build.

I can say that I too have developed a proposal for the royal yacht, unfortunately that is one design lost in the archives of some old PC. So ill begin by complimenting you on the comuter design, curently in production, an in a spooky turn of fate here is a design for a 60ft cruiser with a litte similarity.

Ill have to post this one later after i upload one to a web server.

[AMG]

Thank you for the kind words!

I look forward to see more of your designs, just create a thread and upload them. You need to shrink them to fit into the frame you can see on the screen though, to avoid scrolling and to not interfere with the ads.

I am using Freehand, almost the same as Corel I think? 3D-programs are too limited when it comes to alter the design in process, and time consuming.

As a spin-off from the 42 m Yacht-Fish above I once made a smaller yacht to fit in under the magic 24 meters. She can be owner operated and features a small office outside the owners stateroom. Still with nice crew accommodations forward. The wheelhouse can be enclosed as well as the galley. More of a big yacht in a smaller size than a traditional flybridge. Can have shafts and tunnels or waterjets for a cruising speed around 25 knots.

[Rene GER]

Its beautiful. I think, in a size of 50m she will be a good support vessel for a (sailing) yacht (like Lady Lola's shadow (but more beautiful) - submarine, HELICOPTER and some other toys...thats the coolest way for world cruising )

After looking through all the designs on these pages, both mine and others, I think I have nominated my final Dreamyacht. You can see all of her on the first page in this thread, except I have extended her and raised the wheelhouse a bit. She can now be built by Moonen Shipyards on the DIANA designed hull they used on the classic Moonen 85. Like this, with a lower superstructure she will be more stable at sea and also easier to handle shorthanded in ports.
The wooden trim and doors should be epoxy treated for minimum maintenance and the classic Donzi 16 would make a nice tender, like most yachts had in the early seventies.

[AMG]

Which yachts of today will be the future Classics?

Will it be the "bubble design" with teardrop windows or will it be the "new edge" with minimalistic styling? Or something else?

Since I have problems with too curvy designs, I am leaning towards more architectural and clean lines and decorations. This 120-footer has some lines similar to Bauhaus or Californian houses and could have an interior with Le Corbusier, Mackintosh, van Der Rohe or why not Starck, all of them modern classics.

To look back might be a safe way for the style of tomorrow ?

[AMG]

Since most people will never get access to a Harrier VTOL-jet, I have reduced the size of the 300´ yacht I made a couple of weeks ago (above), to 280 feet. She will still have a heli-garage under the landing pad, tenders in pockets in the hull and spacious accommodations over six decks.

[AMG]

Another Gigayacht along the same design theme as Pandora and Modesty.
This time in classic white and with a pretty high and wide body. As many new yachts she will most likely have diesel-electric pods for quiet, vibration-free, fuel efficient and clean propulsion.

And what about the 200m design?
