Remember the solar powered Dubai Sea Limousine (an eco-friendly mode of transportation to and from the islands of The World)?

Raising the bar further, Dennis Ingemansson has designed this 45m superyacht that shows the trend toward the eco-friendly yachts of the future.

Designed for the Dutch company Esthec, the superyacht generates solar energy to propel the yacht’s electric engine.

The 125m 7Cs superyacht was created in-house by Drive, a leading company in Marine and Automotive design.

Drive’s designers were keen to challenge the traditional proportions of a superyacht and create a vessel that borrowed tried and tested ideas from the automotive industry.

This concept yacht has a sunken pool, helipad, retractable cover, Jacuzzi and a boatload of luxury for the interiors.

Roman Abramovich recently launched the 557-ft. Eclipse, the world’s largest and most expensive privately owned yacht at a cost of about $450 million.

Now renowned naval architect Donald Starkey is offering to top that feat with a 656-ft. behemoth called Everest (named after the world’s tallest peak).

Currently under construction in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the Everest will be longer than two football fields

The new 41 Super Leggera from Rhode Island’s Outerlimits Powerboats can do 100 m.p.h., costs $650,000 and is the closest thing we’ve seen yet to an oceangoing Lamborghini.

Based on race boat technology, the 41 Super Leggera is available with a wide range of power options…

From deafeningly loud to the the new silent underwater muffling system introduced by Mercruiser, and a host of exclusive finishes.

Tom Perkins, the American venture capitalist, is close to completing the sale of his clipper-style superyacht the Maltese Falcon.

The 289ft boat is believed to have fetched about £60m ($100m) after being on the market for more than a year.

The yacht, named after the Dashiell Hammett crime novel and its Humphrey Bogart film version, has three carbon-fibre masts carrying 15 sails.

As if the Pearl 60 yacht wasn’t luxurious and desirable enough, Pearl Motor Yachts has teamed with Bentley and is offering a free Bentley GT Continental Coupe with purchase of the Pearl 60.

“Bentley and Pearl have been working together for a while now, as the brands complement each other so well,” Pearl’s managing director Iain Smallridge said.

“Both offer exceptional British craftsmanship and bespoke finishes, so no two models are the same.”
