This $100 Million Superyacht Mimics the Movements of a Whale

If you're going to drop $100 million on a yacht, it better have some pretty remarkable features—say, an on-deck tropical garden or a new way of moving through the water. The new Seataci superyacht ticks both of those boxes and more. Conceived by Montreal-based designer Charles Bombardier, the concept yacht looks more like a marine mammal than a traditional yacht. And for good reason. Instead of using a conventional rotary propeller, the Seataci operates through two stabilizing side pods and a third section that trails the vessel like a tail. All three components combine to create waves that advance the craft through water the way a whale moves.  

In comparison with other superyachts, Bombardier’s concept is an eco-friendly one. That’s because the Seataci is fueled by hydroelectricity, which reduces pollution significantly. The design also includes space for two swimming pools and two personal drone pads. Bombardier says each Seataci would be custom built, so size, passenger capacity, and speed would vary by client.
