Should you fly or take the yacht? How about both. That’s the idea behind this audacious concept – a flying yacht designed by Yelken Octuri. The design has the 150-foot long yacht transforming its four mobile masts from sails to wings.
The flying yacht would have a range of about 370 miles.
The yacht has two main decks, a half-deck in the aft and another half-deck in the fore for the cockpit. Access inside the boat is through two doors located above the aft floats. The lower deck features a main room, a kitchen, a toilet and a storage room. The main room’s floor is above the sea level, so that the windows can be just above the boat’s waterline. The upper deck features three rooms and a bathroom
Octuri’s design was commissioned by three Omani princes. No time table for putting the concept into development has been announced.
