Mercedes-Benz Style is collaborating with UK-based Silver Arrows Marine to create a motor yacht that brings the style of the luxury automobiles to the water.
The 46-foot Granturismo yacht will be a day tripper, though will also be capable for an overnight stay on the waters.

Mercedes Benz is actively involved in selection and planning of the yacht’s interior and exterior materials and color combinations along with Silver Arrows Marine. Silver Arrows will be entirely responsible for the technical equipment and construction.
The public got its first look at the exterior and interior designs for the luxury yacht at the 2012 Monaco Yacht Show.

This won’t be the first watercraft to bear the Mercedes-Benz badge, as the automaker teamed up with Cigarette Racing on an AMG-inspired custom racing boat in 2010.
Previous Mercedes-Benz Style projects include a cabin fitout for a special run of Eurocopter EC145 helicopters, and designer furniture pieces.
