Meet Pegasus, an 88-metre superyacht with an endless range.
Italian design studio Jozeph Forakis has unveiled a bold concept for an “invisible” yacht, entirely 3D printed. Pegasus is an 88-metre, zero-emission vessel with an almost invisible profile, reflecting the concept of respecting the environment.
The authors of the project stated that the yacht will be in harmony with nature, imitating the combination of the sea and the blue sky, as well as “clouds floating above the waterline.” The exterior uses mirrored glass to create a multi-level superstructure of three “wings.” Thanks to reflective materials, the yacht blends into the surrounding landscape.
Solar panels are also built into the mirror surfaces of the yacht, powering electrolysers thanks to saturation with hydrogen from sea water. According to the concept, the ship will have an “almost unlimited” cruising range.
The Pegasus hull features a low-line metal hull and a steep nose. The interior features a multi-level “tree of life” that provides guests with fresh food and clean air. The vessel's four levels are connected by a gracefully sculpted spiral staircase. On the lower deck there is a swimming pool and garden.
The rooms are spacious and minimalist, with triangular windows allowing plenty of natural light to enter. The yacht's perimeter features numerous entertainment spaces, including a full-size bar, sky deck, and open-air dining areas.
The owner's suite is located on the upper deck, occupying the entire 15-meter beam of the yacht. The ship also includes six guest cabins on the main deck, including two suites and four double cabins. Aft is the beach club with Jacuzzi and folding balconies.
Jozeph Forakis notes that Pegasus is a “bold but achievable” project for the near future of superyachts, in which man and machine “live in harmony with nature” rather than compete with it. Thanks to the use of solar and hydrogen energy, the yacht will be able to reach a cruising speed of 12 knots and a maximum speed of 18 knots.
