 It's a natural partnership, an innovative luxury yacht company and a high end luxury fashion brand so there are no real surprises there. What is a surprise is what that partnership has yielded. From the company that has delivered some of the most super of the Super Yachts, Mega Yachts and even Giga Yachts, now comes the aptly named WHY.
The WHY 58X38 is more a floating island than it is a yacht. It's resemblance to a yacht is in the simple fact of it floating, otherwise it looks more like a luxury five star apartment building but...flatter....and floating. You can see why they called it WHY, but perhaps they might have also named it WHAT?!
The Hermes designed super structure is built over three levels, has a 25metre interior pool, a 36metre 'beach' at the rear and an on board spa, dining room, music room and cinema. It has guest suites, solar panels, weighs 2,400 tons and has a square meterage of 3400 sq.
It is, says Monaco based Wally, an entirely eco friendly, low environmental impact, sustainable energied super structure. Calling it a yacht whether Super, Mega or Giga just doesn't seem apt. It is quite simply an astonishing development for super luxe Ocean-goers which delivers the space of a private island and the freedom of a yacht all wrapped up in designer duds, and is kind to the planet. Whoever wrote that design brief was ambitious beyond belief but it looks like they have done it.
A €160 million price tag may be a slight hitch for most people but let's hope it will at least be the centre piece of the Monaco Yacht Show in 2010 and we can all at least all get a good look at it. |
