A FUTURISTIC luxury yacht that’s dubbed a “sea spaceship” has been unveiled.
The vast, sci-fi looking ship has been designed for high-speed cruising – and comes with an equally soaring price tag.
The VanDutch 75 is capable of reaching speeds up to 40 knots with its twin 1,800 hp MAN V12 engines.
The yacht brand’s website states that the model aims to “modernize the iconic VanDutch style with a contemporary and Mediterranean flair.”
Measuring a total of 75ft in length, the yacht’s futuristic look also comes with integrated tech throughout.
It’s design is was inspired by Italian interiors.
Pricing will vary depending on the configuration – but it is expected to run into seven figures.
Describing the vessel, the company states, “The VD75 naturally evolves from VanDutch’s core principles, encapsulating sophistication, high performance, and innovative design.”
“With its huge cockpit and open living space, it offers a refined escape with maximum visibility and sleek simplicity.”
The boat has a three-cabin configuration below deck, which includes a master suite and a crew quarter for two staff members.
The brand further explains, “The exterior lines preserve the classic style that has driven VanDutch’s success, with added technical features that also serve as aesthetic components, harmoniously working together for optimal integration.”
It’s not the only high-tech vessel to have been launched in recent weeks.
Ferrari plans to build a 100ft yacht that can “fly” over the water with no engine.
The Hypersail project uses foils to stay afloat rather than fuel.
The company’s chairman John Elkann said: “[The] America’s Cup is regulated and this boat is thought to go beyond rules.
“This project gives us the chance to experiment in new areas.”
The Hypersail is currently under construction in Italy.
Ferrari aims to complete a prototype by some point in 2026.
Elsewhere, a luxury superyacht ‘sea hotel’ completed its sea trials earlier this year.
The Luminara was reported to be offering a glamorous trip that could cost as much as $78,377 (£58,120) for a seven-night trip.
President of The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection Ernesto Fara said: “With Luminara, we’ve raised the bar once again, uniting legendary service, elevated design, and an extraordinary onboard experience to further define our distinct approach to ultra-luxury travel at sea.
“This remarkable super-yacht opens the door to new destinations and deeper guest experiences, reinforcing our commitment to thoughtful exploration and continuous innovation across the fleet.”
