3:24 "You've got a blindspot right in the middle of your view which you're not really used to on a normal boat" Sailing boats would like to have a word with you, sir
Watching this, I couldn't help but think how cool this would be as a slightly larger Trimaran. It was beautifully smooth while on the foils but once stationary, it moved quite a lot side to side.
They could separate the trimaran hull from the superstructure and have a type of gimbal (stewart platform) in between to eliminate all motion when stationary.
I think the idea of this is mostly to keep moving from A to B. With no heads onboard, it would make sense that this is a short-trip vessel, and not one to spend loads of hours on. Perhaps more like a tender to transport from superyacht to shore and back again?
Completely impracticable, strange, and equally amazing. If you consider the cost that car companies pay to create a vision of the future then 2 million is virtually good value. And on top of that it works and functions.
The price is similar to custom tenders made for super yachts, and it's fairly common for large yachts with several tenders to have a dedicated "limousine" tender for transporting passengers between yacht and harbours, a role in which this would excel. It would also work well as a water taxi, though with the high price and minimal passenger capacity, this usage would seem to be limited to a luxury resort (as mentioned in the video), island estate, or other similar use cases.
It's like a Tesla truck mated with my grandparents' living room from West Palm Beach in the 90s. The foiling drive and controls are great. However, I guess I'm just not cultured enough to appreciate the interior design elements.
What tech? You mean hydrofoils which have been in use since the 1950's? Or battery electric drive which is an environmental disaster in boating, and never in any way financially viable? Or glass windows?
@@pistonburner6448 People confuse technology and design. The technology is the electric drive - which has been around for a while. Technology is not really important or useful in it's self - it's when it is turned into a product that it becomes something important. Computer mice and Graphical Interfaces existed for a decade before Apple turned them into a product. Sabine Hassenfelder has a good video on why Capitalism is Good that goes more into this in general. These will become like Teslas - they will serve as a symbol for a certain class of people, but aren't a serious general purpose car. On the other hand a Prius is. They are the in demand car for NYC Taxis. You will see these in elite settings and in parts of Asia where image is more immediately important than the actual practicality of them. You could expect a few here in NYC as a modern Commuter Boat between NYC and the Hamptons and points in between.
@@pistonburner6448 Name another boat like this. Electric motors are superior to internal combustion engines and they're just at the start of their journey where countries, especially China, are ploughing money into motors, batteries and charging. If we're talking about environmenmtal disaster, that's the oil industry for you. China are already producing small family cars with battery packs that can do 400 miles and don't use Cobalt or Nickel. The rate at which battery capacity, kilowatt hours are increasing while prices and charging times are decreasing is outstripping any room for improvement of internal combustion engines that rely on petrol and diesel. The second thing you fail to factor in is the price of oil is being controlled by OPEC+, led by Russia and Saudi Arabia and they're cutting production by millions of barrels to push up prices. If the USA continues to unilaterally sanction whatever country it wants, countries, especially oil producers, will push back, dumping the petro dollar. BRICS with it's 6 new members will control 40% of the global reserves of oil and 30% of it's consumption. When Venezuela joins, and they will join, BRICS will control 67% of global oil reserves. What's the US gonna do, sanction BRICS countries and in doing so, the countries that control two thirds of global reserves? How do you think they'll respond? By cutting production, pushing up costs in the West while seling to each other cheaply. So unless you live in a BRICS country or the global south, you'll be paying more and more for oil products, one more reason why electric motors are the way ahead.
That boat would be the perfect choice for like a chartered dinner cruise along a coast line. One captain/host going slowly down the ocean with a very nice meal and drinks.
@@chrisc7265 Yes I run a floating greenhouse operation growing tomatoes in northern Canada and its the largest tomato greenhouse in Canada.. Also I approve of C02. Air con is a power hungry device..Probably not such a great idea in a power limited situation.
@@storytimewithunclekumaran5004 I get it, luxury experience. And why not air condition it? They are aiming for the absolute top-end of town. Not sure there is air con in this model though
As a yacht tender? Maybe! As a water taxi? Ok! As a private boat, just a gimmick! As a commuter down the Dubia ? Yeah I could see it! At $2 million? Why? If you could link them together in an office configuration in Dubai on! But for $2 mil I want all the things missing, oh and the other come with a desk to work at!
Finally we can see the ultra rich being taxied around like in sci-fi movies and games :D Surely this will be used in a bond movie or something. Kinda puts a smile on your face seeing stuff like this.
Amazing design, and brilliant execution. Love that big windowed cabin. It would be excellent as a cruise boat for scenic tourism, perhaps in cooler climates where getting outdoors is more challenging for guests. But in any real world that rear deck would be legally required to have a railing around it. Navier have a similar, smaller but probably more manoeuvrable electric foiler.
I love how he uses what is basically an inflatable raft with a motor as a comparison to how smooth the multi million dollar superboat travels across the water.
Super whacky and idk how practical it is but its definitely beautiful and futuristic... It looks like it would be an amazing driving experience and the interior with the wide open views is breathtaking......id like to see these become a reality
OK. This electric foil boat WINS for unique style and futuristic design. Not a boat ready for the masses but these reality 'concept' boats stretch the mind of possibility and will impact future designs of production ready boats. Kudos.
Wow, this is truly a revolutionary design! I can totally envision this as an upscale taxi boat for harbors, offering a unique and efficient transportation experience. However, as breathtaking as it is, I personally find it a bit challenging to imagine myself relaxing on board. It seems more like an exhilarating ride than a laid-back cruiser. Nonetheless, hats off to the creators for pushing the boundaries!
As that pointy eared chap would say, 'fascinating'. I like It for what it is, a luxurious taxi but I wouldn't want one myself, I'm still stuck on watching your Sargo 45 vid at least twice a week. 👏👏👍❤️🇬🇧
Beautiful boat, but I won't take it cruising around the Bahamas... sand bars, coral head... y'all got the point. But it would be a perfect boat for the islands with some improvements. 😊
Great video of this amazing vessel! It would make more sense to have the helm positioned at the bow and build it as a catamaran. Everything in the future should have a hydrofoil system.
Very, VERY cool design exercise and execution. Definitely a vessel for generally calm sea states at that size. Any sizable waves that grab even a slippery nose is going to launch loose articles and humans on a ride towards that center post up front, lol. But with relative calm it has to be an awesome experience. I’ve been on much larger foil vessels and it’s amazing how smooth and seemingly effortless they move across the water even as a relatively massive vessel. 😎😎
Bravo! ❤your openness to future tech and to see BMW entering the marine world. On which, it would be curious to see if BMW adapt their Hydrogen tech (their car tech from the late 90’s, gathering mothballs). On this Tide, its fascinating. Perhaps impractical now, but a promise for the future. ❤ foiling! Cant wait to see more. Is it a luxury candela? Keep up the good work. Best.
Looks like the controls should be right in the front of the boat for the driving experience and put in a nice bathroom and a kitchenette in the blind spots with a nice living room with a king size bed with solar panels on top for emergency backup with retractable foils and you might be on to something
She looks revolutionary, I'm sure the technology will make it into other designers'plans for boats. She looks safe and comfortable but the shape of the cabin a 🔺 is odd, but she looks amazing. Somehow they need as you suggested Jack a toilet and a bar even if she is a shuttle, and solar panels are good addition. At night she looks woth hef lights very Star Trek.
As a prototype, it's interesting. Still at this point it's not good for much. Sort of hard to fish off of it. You cannot sleep on it. As you said, it doesn't have a bathroom. I'm wondering if it needs gas engines and the placement of wings on the top to help increase the lift and the speed. Well I can only imagine the cost is astronomical. This had better be designed down the road to be sold to the ultra rich with purpose (or not). Thanks for the video.
I was thinking the same thing. It's basically a floating sun-room for millionaires lol I'll take my 10ft pedal drive fishing kayak over that thing any day 🎣

Not a huge fan of the interior but a foil of that size on a motorboat is incredible. I would not be surprised if foils become much more popular in the near future.
Very unique vessel. It's actually really nice looking. If there were options to change or rearrange the seating, that would be nice. But, the deal breaker for me is that there is no day head. Unless I'm on a dinghy, I expect the convenience of a day head for the amount that I would be spending to purchase this. As well as some kind of cold storage. It wouldn't take much, and this would be a fun vessel to own. It seems a bit short sighted to showcase this without those two items.

No, it's really cooler. Takes all the bad things about boating and makes them better. Nothing will keep up with that thing in the chop.
Astonishing! What a remarkable vessel and a fascinating appraisal too. A tantalising glimpse of the future? Thanks Jack and team
Thanks for watching! - Jack
This future is ONLY for the happy few robber barons and their WEF minions .... Your future is the 15 minute city and facemasks with lockdowns.....

❤ imagine this thing with a nano-reactor replenishing the batteries when needed ❤
Im imagining of a modern looking minimal flying yacht with suspension fins including a driveable drone and a 2 car garage
Great concept. 2mil and no toilet or a cold beverage. And as tender it needs a lot more features. Like a way to get on the yacht you'd be tendered to
Would make a fine tender for the Motor Yacht “Pretentious”
AMAZING!!!!

they should be using the water moving against the boat to generate electricity to be put back in the batteries while cruising. looks amazing!!
