Incredible plan for $500million 500ft superyacht dubbed Shaddai with towering 125ft ‘sky cabin’ for ultra-rich owner
INCREDIBLE designs for a new 500ft superyacht shows the beauty has an elevated viewing platform sat 125ft above the water complete with a bar and infinity pool.
The vision of Italian designer Gabriel Teruzzi would take guests from the sea to the sky if the ambitious $500million project is ever bought into reality.
Dubbed Shaddai, the superyacht offers breathtaking views from its “sky cabin” to the high perch houses that sit alongside an infinity pool, dining area and bar on the 1,130 square foot terrace.
The name of the yacht, Shaddai, translates from Hebrew into “almighty” as the boat was intended to give the owner a sense of power.
The future owner could feel like royalty as they enjoy a picturesque sunset from the privacy of their own cabin.
Terruzi said: “From there he can reach the feeling of a higher power, surrounded by the immensity of the sea and sky, reaching the clouds where everything reflects his place in the world: at the top.
“Furthermore, the infinity pool produces a visual effect of water with no boundary, merging with the sky.”
The estimated price for the grandiose idea is one for the royalty too – coming in at a whopping $500million.
As well as the never-seen-before viewing tower, the yacht also has plenty to boast on its lower levels.
Terruzi said the boat would be bestrewed with textiles from top designer houses and decorated with the finest furniture.
On the main deck, another infinity pool with a glass floor connects to the 3,000 square foot beach club.
A floor-to-ceiling aquarium stands in the middle of the room in the main aft deck under the glass ceiling looking up to the swimming pool.
The unusual shape of the yacht was inspired by contemporary architecture which can also be seen throughout the interior.
He said: “To ascend from the ground has been a desire in the human kind since the very beginnings.
“There are precious examples like the Tower of Babel, the Pyramids in Egypt and today in the magnificent skyscrapers.
“The wish to touch the clouds continues to be present in the most powerful minds.”
It comes after jaw-dropping plans for a $1billion mega-yacht that comes with its own detachable airship were unveiled.
Dubbed Colossea, the flashy floater stuns in a presentation video flaunting its sleek design – while making a cheeky plea to multibillionaire Elon Musk.
And bizarre plans for a £400million superyacht shaped like a giant swan have also been revealed.
Dubbed the “Avanguardia”, the 449ft sea titan includes a retractable “head” and a viewing deck “beak” and is set to revolutionise the luxury vessel market.
