The Beluga: Emperor of Seven Seas

The Beluga: Emperor of Seven Seas

A whale of a time? $200m Beluga super yacht that's inspired by Moby Dick.

It has been dubbed the ‘Emperor of the Seven Seas’, is designed to resemble the shape of a whale and will cost a cool $200m.

These futuristic designs for the Beluga super yacht were unveiled at the Monaco Boat Show by its designers, Pure-Sang.

They claim to have drawn inspiration from Moby Dick and Pinnochio, and the yacht’s 100m² sunroof is designed to open like the mouth of a whale.

Inside the vessel features two living levels, which are connected by a glass staircase and mezzanine to emphasise its height and create light.

The main suite is located on the roof in an oval, glass room and there are five further suites in the the belly of the boat all with extendable balconies and ensuite spas.

Entertaining your guests won’t be a problem as the yacht will include a beach club with a 14m-long swimming pool, whirlpool, cocktail bar and a lounge area spanning two levels.

There's an onboard tender garage which has the capacity to hold two custom-made trailers and can be turned into a nightclub with an illuminated glass dancefloor.

There will also be a state-of-the-art gym, cinema, bar, library and a greenhouse with real palm trees plus a vegetable garden.

And don’t worry about the housekeeping - the yacht features a separate living area and kitchen that can accommodate up to 30 staff.

The slick and ambitious designs won Pure-Sang the title of ‘Best New Super Yacht Concept' at the show.

The designers hope their concept will soon become a reality and have entered into talks with a major Dutch manufacturer with a view to building the vessel.
