Concept Boat

Yamaha previously announced it would show a prototype hydrogen outboard at the 2024 Miami Boat Show. Instead of simply revealing the motor, it's installed it on a prototype boat complete with fuel delivery system. Testing will begin this year.

Winnebago Industries has been advancing the prospect of electric recreational vehicles for land, and now it's brought that effort to water. The Chris-Craft Launch 25 GTe is a fully operational 420-hp electric concept boat built for speeds up to 43 knots.

Pierpaolo Lazzarini is certainly no stranger to unusual designs, but the Pangeos is his most ambitious to date. Taking the form of a gigantic turtle, it would create a movable "city" that he estimates would be the world's largest floating structure.

One of the sleekest, sharpest boats of 2022, the Alte Volare is a new design study from Cockwells. The limousine tender relies on a combination of electric powertrain, retractable hydrofoils and fuselage-like hull for fast, efficient shuttling.

The Jet Capsule isn't an ugly duckling by any means, but designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini imagines a beautiful swan with the Avanguardia. The mega-yacht would feature a small watercraft that would serve as a removable cockpit in this ambitious project.

The aft swim platform is the cherry on any yacht design, and the Nauta 78m Slipstream supersizes that cherry with an expanding "island" retreat.

One of the truly grand superyachts previewed at last week's Monaco Yacht Show, the 165 Wallypower combines hard, sharp angles with natural curves for a look that's positively arresting.

The Aqua is a 360-foot monster that would run entirely on liquid hydrogen and offer a range of 3,750 nautical miles. And boy, is it nice to look at from just about any angle.

It's Miami International Boat Show time again, which means it's time to take a look at the latest collaboration between Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing. This year's 41-foot AMG Carbon Edition is a four-motor, 1,600-horsepower, 83mph ocean rocket with a carbon fiber sandwich construction.

It's quick, it's quiet, and it's covered in 300 sq m (3,229 sq ft) of solar panels. The 78-ft SolarImpact yacht is a concept designed as the first of its kind – an ocean-going solar-powered yacht. The solar panels can serve as the vessel's sole power source – if you're prepared to take your time.

What the heck is Peugeot doing building a sideless, bottomless speedboat/yacht hybrid thing with Benetau? How does that thing even float? Won’t your feet get awfully wet? These are a number of questions that entered my head before I realized the Sea Drive concept isn’t actually a boat at all.

​Italian designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini has delivered some compellingly strange concepts over the years and his latest flying car design is no exception. The Hover Coupè is a gorgeous looking blend of retro-style with future-tech.
