A superyacht that is Solar-Electric / Hydrogen Hybrid with Zero Emissions and Infinite Range.
International designer Jozeph Forakis reveals plans of Pegasus, a substantial 88-metre superyacht envisioned for introduction in 2030.
“I was inspired to create a yacht as close to the sea and nature as possible, made of clouds floating above the waterline,” Forakis says, “I wanted to honor nature by blending into it, becoming virtually invisible.” This desire for “invisibility” drove Forakis to develop a true zero emissions yacht that is “invisible both in design and in her environmental impact.”
The superyacht will require the use of robotic 3D printing to create a mesh framework integrating both hull and superstructure.
The result would be a strong and lightweight structure that can be produced using less energy, material, waste, space, and time compared to conventional construction. The exterior design starts with a low, linear hull with a plumb bow and silvery metallic finish, which blends chameleon-like with the water’s colors and movements. This foundation at the waterline supports the superstructure with multi-tiered, ephemeral glass wings that reflect the clouds and the sky.
The interior spaces of Pegasus guest lounges showcase the juxtaposition between minimalist design and living nature, both inside – with living greenery and rich appointments skillfully integrated throughout where copious daylight penetrates across the entire boat. The top level is exclusive to the owner, with a forward-facing primary suite featuring a large private terrace. The forward pool club has an aquarium-style lap pool and expansive horizontal windows that transform into open balconies on both port and starboard. The versatile pool cover also functions as a helipad. The open beach club features a substantial Jacuzzi and collapsable terraces at the aft of the ship.
“Now is the time for courageous leaps toward our collective sustainable future. Pegasus is a bold but achievable vision for the near future of the superyacht industry, where man and machine live in harmony with nature rather than competing or compromising it,” said Jozeph Forakis.
