If you are unfamiliar with Kurt Strand’s extraordinary yacht designs, this futuristic vessel will ensure that you never forget his name. The brilliant yacht designer from Southern California has just unveiled California, a 135-meter luxury yacht concept with a magnificent design that emphasizes glass and water.
Large glass walls and glass balconies, combined with folding glass doors and retractable sections, create the illusion of indoor and outdoor spaces merging into one large area on this magnificent vessel. There are three pools on the lower aft platforms, one of which features a surf-riding machine and a small waterfall.
The bow’s design is inspired by ancient gladiator headwear and features glass sections with cutouts for the eyes. In conjunction with the yacht’s superstructure, the yacht’s angular windows give it a contemporary appearance and contribute to its masculine aesthetic.
The automatic elevator system operates the foredeck lounge, leisure pool, helipad, and hangar, among other features.
The interior design is influenced by zen philosophy and features a great deal of reclaimed wood and natural stone to create a pleasant and calming environment. There are Koi ponds, wall waterfalls, and aquariums, as well as a nightclub and bar, a spacious lounge, a gaming room, a gym with a hammam, the ubiquitous massage studio and wellness spa, a movie theater, and a bowling alley.
There is even room for a collection of classic automobiles. The yacht will be equipped with a hybrid electric propulsion system fueled by ultra-efficient diesel turbine generators and a 60-ton lithium-ion battery, allowing it to operate for up to five hours at a reduced speed of 11 knots. The maximum pace is 20 knots, which should be sufficient for anyone.
