An $86 Million Superyacht Concept that Can ‘Fly’ Across the Water

Defying the universal laws of transportation, where cars drive, planes fly and boats sail, Lazzarini Design Studio has just unveiled a new flying superyacht concept that will alter everything we thought we knew about water travel. The concept vessel, named Plectrum, has been designed with hydrofoil technology, or what could be considered an underwater fin that allows the boat to lift off of the water’s surface and “fly” at top speeds (about 75 knots or 86 mph).

How does it accomplish this stunning feat, you may ask? Answer: three hydrogen-powered motors capable of 5,000 horsepower, each pushing the yacht up from underneath.

Hydrofoil technology is not new. According to the Rome-based studio, the inspiration behind the

Plectrum concept can be found in the foiling monohulls used in America’s Cup, one of the oldest international sailing yacht competitions. Said the designers in a statement: “We like to remember that in 1964, shipbuilding was already capable of similar vessel construction.”

The 246-foot, four-deck Plectrum will be equipped with plenty of splashy amenities fit to impress even the most experienced of yachtsman: a helipad, beach club, swimming pool, six guest cabins, and an owner’s suite and storage for water toys and cars.

Despite the challenges of building a hydrofoil of this size, Lazzarini Design Studio remains confident that if a buyer is found for the concept, the Plectrum could be constructed within two years. And it wouldn’t come cheap: The designers have put the cost around $86 million.

TUSCANY ITALY

Maybe it’s the influence of The White Lotus, but it seems like everyone is dreaming about “la dolce vita” these days. And when you start to explore the many regions of Italy and all they have to offer, Tuscany may be the perfect location to start your Italian chapter.

For your consideration, may we suggest you look at Siena, a small city of roughly 50,000 within the Tuscany region. Famous for its wine varietals, picturesque villages, and home to the epicenter of Italian Renaissance, Florence (or, Firenze), Tuscany may be the perfect location to start your Italian chapter. Siena has smalltown charm with big-city proximity, and you can find the perfect domicile, whether it’s a village apartment or a castle or villa nestled amongst the vineyards.

“Our history dates back to the

Etruscans and we have one of the largest cathedrals in Europe, among many other Medieval architectural jewels,” boasts Moira Mancini, broker-owner of Coldwell Banker Chianti Heritage. “And of course, The Palio is a famous annual horse race that offers one of the best-known festivals in all of Europe.”

Maybe it’s time to pack your bags and explore Siena and all it has to offer. After all, the next Palio race takes place on July 2, 2023; plenty of time to plan your trip and visit the Coldwell Banker Chianti Heritage office!
