The WHY Yacht - $160 million Yacht from Wally Hermès

Quote:
Such a yacht is currently being designed and developed in a collaboration between French yacht builder Wally and French fashion house Hermès . When built, the 58 metre long and 38 metre wide "floating island" is expected to have a price tag of $160 million. A full sized model of the WHY was displayed, at the 2010 Abu Dhabi Yacht Show. However, it is currently unclear exactly when the yacht will be completed and ready for sale.



A famous French shipbuilder ship company and one of Monaco
joined hands together to build this yacht with enormous dimensions: the WHY 58x38.
(58meter long and 38 meter wide) After the first pictures of this project.(computer generated)




The yacht, an area of 3400 m2
with seating for 12 passengers and 20 crew.




This is a "green" yacht.
Wally et Hermès use green energy to 20 to 30% fuel savings
and 40 to 50% electricity consumption on board.
Therefore there are 900 m2 equipped with solar panels, producing a daily output of 500 kW.




Three decks, a 25 meter pool, a spa helicopterpad a 100m2 with hammam,
sauna, gym and massage room, a promenade of 130 meter, a music room, a dining room,
a cinema, sun decks, suites, terraces, a lounge, a bibi . The luxury is at the rendez-vous.
The decks are connected by stairs but there is also an elevator.




The suite of the owner.
With an area of 200m2 and completely covers the third deck. (This is the bedroom)
The sea view is great and there is a private terrace of 25
meter long.




Dining Room
The dining room opens onto the sea view.




Suites for the guests
For the guests, 5 suites with sea views (on the middendek). There is also a reading room equipped.




The spacious lounge.
On the lower deck are the common premises, such as lounge, piano bar and dining area





A sea of light.
The yacht has the shape of a horseshoe and has a roof so everything is bathed in a sea of light.









So...anyone have some spare change?...

Whats old is new again. The "WHY" looks very much like a project that a large hotel chain considered in the 80s. The plan was for a fleet of non powered yacht "look alike" hotel barges, to be anchored up in Florida bay.
