The oceans are drowning, but the 300-meter-long, nuclear-powered megayacht “Earth 300” from Iddes Yachts could save them all.
Although “Earth 300” is longer than the Titanic, 150 feet wide at its widest point, and has a capacity for 160 scientists, 165 crew members, and 40 VIPs, its purpose is not to conquer our oceans but to save them. As you may have guessed from the term “scientists,” this yacht will serve as a floating base for the world’s leading climate scientists to investigate climate change and other earth-damaging events.
Utilizing robotics, AI, and quantum computation, the vessel is equipped with everything the world’s top scientists require for deep-sea exploration and climate change analysis. Such as that large circle on the deck? That is “science city,” a sphere that will function as the scientists’ home.
According to Iván Salas Jefferson, founder of Iddes Yachts, “We sought to create a design that would inspire… We want those who view the sphere to be inspired to protect Earth. When someone enters the sphere, which now houses the science city,’ and experiences the action of all the ongoing scientific work, we want them to be inspired to become a global solutions alchemist.”
As for amenities, “Earth 300” is equipped with an observation deck, a helipad, and underwater expedition vehicles for investigating the ocean’s deepest depths. Those previously mentioned VIPs will also be invited onboard to experience the ship for a fee of $3 million USD each.
The structure is powered by a zero-emissions energy source derived from an onboard molten salt reactor developed by Bill Gates’ TerraPower company to ensure it does not further damage the environment. Iddes Yachts anticipates the launch of “Earth 300” in 2025; until then, you can learn more about the yacht online.
