There are some people who want to take their sports car with them on their yacht, and there others who want their yacht to be like their sports car. If you’re the latter, this list is for you.
Luxury car builders from Aston Martin to Bugatti, are venturing into the world of yachts, and with a clientele that can afford cars like the Bugatti Chiron at $2.9 million, sport yachts seem like a natural progression for these luxury brands.
Aston Martin
Love cars? Love boats? Of course you do. The Aston Martin 37 should have any number of suitors who are looking for something sporty and a little bit different.
Bugatti
Bugatti’s venture into the yacht industry was first announced with renderings of the Niniette in 2015. Now, we have the first yacht in the Niniette line, a 66-footer to look forward to.
Mercedes-Benz
Named for the fabled Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrows racing cars of the 1930s, the Arrow 460 Granturismo followed the same design process that Mercedes-Benz Style uses to create its luxury automobiles.
Jaguar
This concept sport yacht is described at “Seductive Design” by Jaguar Cars. She was designed to complement the Jaguar XF Sportbrake and she has a carbon fiber fin inspired by the Jaguar D-Type. Jaguar collaborated with Ivan Erdevicki Naval Architecture & Yacht Design Inc. and Seventy Seven Design to draw up the concept. Now, we wait to see if she comes to fruition.
Lexus
Lexus stepped into the yacht-design world with its 42-foot Lexus Sport Yacht concept. A sleek, speedy, carbon-fiber vessel, this design takes Lexus luxury into new waters.
