When Russians spend, they spend. “Philippe Starck designed Motor Yacht A with Martin Francis for Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko. Built by Blohm+ Voss, Motor Yacht A is 119 meters long and weighs approximately 5500 tonnes. Reminiscent of a submarine warship the mega yacht’s name is a tribute to Andrey Melnichenko and his wife Serbian fashion model Aleksandra Nikolic. (designboom)

Riva Iseo Day Cruiser Yacht
This vessel is absolutely crazy! Looks more like a space ship than a boat.
What I’d like to see is what they did with the interior. I can only imagine. Who says money can’t buy happiness?
Pretentious and uninteresting design as a whole, this guy should go get a sailing boat and learn how to sail, and Stark should retire…
I saw this boat anchored off the island of Capri for a week. It’s absolutely amazing.
Saw her in the Tobago Keys in the southern Caribbean a few days ago. We first saw her when she was about 5 miles away, then again as she motored slowly into the anchorage and dropped her “hook”. Truely astonishing! Because of the unusual design it is difficult to grasp her true size – very smooth and graceful “in the flesh”. Moves through the water with virtually no wake! Hey – if ya got it, flaunt it!!!!
I just saw it in St. Maarten last week, Beautiful display of craftsmanship. I would hate to have to pay the gas bill.
This boat is in my bay… Les saintes in Guadeloupe. FWI. ouah
[...] Gizmodo – Seletism – [...]
It is in Richardson Bay right now… totally crazy looking.
I just saw it in Curacao, the dutch Caribbean. It’s really amazing!
Would be disappointing not to see the interiors?! Will it meet expectations?
would love to see her finally someone has designed a conventional hull yacht like it should be , ultra efficient. Yes it would leave no wake with the extended hull length and flat stern, more length out front under the water would dissipate the surface tension, allow the yacht to glide effortlessly. Would love to get the stats on her speed and fuel efficiency. brilliant design. Hardly say it was uninteresting or pretentious……
seen it last week at peurto portals mallorca, UNREAL…………….even left the queen of spains cruiser in the shade, pretentious yes, uninteresting no………….robin P is green with envy
