This New Superyacht Looks Like a UFO on the Water

By Kimberly Peterson

If zooming over the waves in a sleek high-end vessel that looks right out of a science-fiction movie is your idea of fun, then London-based firm Glider Yachts has the answer: the Super Sports 18, a futuristic-looking luxury craft that can reach speeds of up to 64 miles per hour. The high-performance sports day boat—as the company describes it—boasts a striking minimalist design, with an open cockpit with room for five atop a pair of innovative hulls devised to cut smoothly through the water, even at high speeds. The 60-foot-long hand-built boat, powered by four 270-horsepower supercharged engines, is capable of traveling from Monaco to Saint-Tropez or Miami to the Bahamas in just 45 minutes. “We are absolutely thrilled to finally show off the first Glider to the world,” Glider Yachts managing director Robert McCall said in a statement. “The SS18 is unlike any other yacht seen in the market today, with unparalleled design and technological capabilities—we’re sure she is going to be a real game-changer.”

Along with its streamlined exterior, the SS18 features a smart tailored interior anchored by custom-made luxury leather sports seats by Corbeau and chrome detailing, adding to the overall polished feel. The yacht, fitted with a specially engineered audio system by JL Audio and a bespoke Garmin dashboard with a state-of-the-art navigation system, is priced around $1.3 million.

This Menacing 492-Foot Gigayacht Concept Looks Like a UFO Hovering on the Water

This new 131-foot all-aluminum superyacht lets you take a dip at tip and tail, this 92-foot yacht has a deck big enough for your chopper.

Aras Kazar ’s latest concept doesn’t look much like a superyacht at all, and that’s precisely the point.

The European yacht designer, who has been penning “minimalist, futuristic and sleek” vessels for the past decade, says the new 492-footer is meant to look like “an unknown object hovering above the horizon.” How very mysterious.

Christened Ono, the yacht has a wedge-like silhouette with a sharp reverse bow and a sleek superstructure that tapers to the stern. This creates the illusion that the unknown floating object (see what we did there?) is emerging from the depths of the ocean below.

The gigayacht’s extra-long foredeck comes equipped with a helipad for your chopper.  Aras Kazar

Another distinctive feature is the supersized foredeck. It’s so long, in fact, that it has been fitted with a helipad to facilitate comings and goings. The aft deck is nothing to sneeze at, either, with an infinity pool that cascades down onto a beach club below. Another few steps down is the sizable swim platform that offers a space for waterside cocktails as well as direct access to the ocean.

Featuring a mix of aluminum, fiberglass and tempered glass, Ono has a menacing black exterior that feels very futuristic. Put it this way, she wouldn’t look out of place in Darth Vader’s fleet. Kazar has included a few technical elements at the bleeding edge, too, such as rooftop solar panels that can generate clean, green electricity and a pair of fold-out platforms amidship. Inside the two terraces, you’ll find a garage for water toys and a movie cinema that appears to be screening a Bogie and Bacall flick.

Onboard, Kazar says Ono is like “a floating villa.” It is equipped with three master suites, five staterooms and space for a full crew. Of course, there is ample space both indoors and out for entertaining.

Kazar says he has a few more projects on the horizon that will be released in the coming months. Let’s see what emerges, then.
