Amphibious crab-like designs, futuristic interiors and underwater glass helipads — there is a lot to love about the <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/news/design" target="_blank">yacht design</a> concepts that have landed on the scene over the past month. Read on to see a selection of the latest concepts presented to the industry during January 2021.&nbsp; <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/52321" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luxury 50m Explorer getaway yacht concept from MP Yacht Design (2021-01-25 15:30:00 +0100)">50m Explorer by MP Yacht Design</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/185615/image/large-58a022aecb3ab73aff8fde72287d1b8a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/185615">The design of this explorer-style 50.26-metre yacht, also named Explorer, has been optimised to comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests and 11 crew. The vessel comes with an efficient hull to provide long-range cruising and transpacific autonomy – which the designer said is to appeal to those owners wanting to travel for long periods of time to escape the pandemic. Notably, the yacht sports a large 115-square-metre aft deck to accommodate tenders, submarines, cars, and more. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/52271" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Kyron Designs reveals 70m Nzuri expedition superyacht concept (2021-01-13 13:30:00 +0100)">70m Nzuri&nbsp;by Kyron Designs&nbsp;</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/184136/image/large-187630de6604cf6f58f79d59fa6dd4e3.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/184136">This 70m concept marks the first release by the new startup design studio, which has networks in both New York and the Bahamas. In a word, the design of this yacht is futuristic, housing the latest window technology by Kinestral. She features a steel hull with a partial fibreglass superstructure, which means she can operate in all kinds of climates. The design includes 10 cabins providing accommodation for 20 guests and eight cabins sleeping 28 crew plus the captain. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/52236" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ludes designs sunken glass heli garage for new 107m yacht concept Ocean One (2021-01-11 12:00:00 +0100)">107m Ocean One by Ludes&nbsp;</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/183962/image/large-79f652d5ee03362c8a9c2d9605c9ac10.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/183962">The OI yacht design concept by Ludes aims to be a chic vessel harking back to the “unobtrusive” looks of earlier yachts in the 1920s; the design pays homage to classic ocean liners. With an impressive length of 107 metres, she will have a beam of 17 metres and a total height above water of 27 metres. She will feature three pools, the largest of which will sit at 11.5 by 5.5 metres. In addition, she will also have a helipad, hydraulic sunken helicopter garage with glass walls. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/52251" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Meet the €24m solar-powered amphibious catamaran concept (2021-01-07 16:30:00 +0100)">25m Pagurus by Lazzarini Design&nbsp;</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/184099/image/large-4e41fd0d0156bd35b7c9d121f126fda1.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/184099">This crab-inspired yacht design from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6004" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lazzarini Design Studio (Company)">Lazzarini Design</a> is the latest in the creator's line of nature-inspired concepts. Solar-powered and coming in at 25-metres, the “amphibious catamaran” draws its power from both sun and water. When the Pagurus reaches land it can increase its draft by lowering down the rotating cylinders to transform the catamaran into an amphibious vehicle, able to move on sand or mud terrains to speeds of up to 30kmh.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/52365" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="120m Emir: The new green yacht concept with 2 helipads and multiple grand saloons (2021-02-03 15:30:00 +0100)"></a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/52365" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="120m Emir: The new green yacht concept with 2 helipads and multiple grand saloons (2021-02-03 15:30:00 +0100)"></a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/52365" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="120m Emir: The new green yacht concept with 2 helipads and multiple grand saloons (2021-02-03 15:30:00 +0100)"></a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/52365" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="120m Emir: The new green yacht concept with 2 helipads and multiple grand saloons (2021-02-03 15:30:00 +0100)"></a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/52365" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="120m Emir: The new green yacht concept with 2 helipads and multiple grand saloons (2021-02-03 15:30:00 +0100)">120m Emir by Gresham Yacht Design</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186499/image/large-ecb3f4f474e5e31fee49ae3b6819e9ee.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186499">London design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4359" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gresham Yacht Design (Company)">Gresham Yacht Design</a> has revealed its latest concept: the 120-metre Emir. The yacht features two certified helipads and space on board for 36 guests assisted by 40 crew. The yacht will contain a biodigester to eliminate organic waste, NOX and harmful particulates by up to 90%, among other features, to reduce her environmental impact. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/52331" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The Viking-inspired 26m yacht that uses AI to charter independently (2021-01-27 10:30:00 +0100)">26m Drakkar S by Max Zhivov</a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/185311/image/large-cb3b4318a08eade743df1ba676d07a82.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/185311">This Viking-inspired yacht design uses artificial intelligence, meaning it can be controlled by autopilot with the possibility of remote control and artificial intelligence allows her to moor and avoid potential obstacles. On board, guests can use their smartphone to set a destination for the yacht in a dedicated app and stay cruising for up to four days. Plus, on account of solar panels that cover 80 square metres on the yacht’s roof and an electric propulsion system, the Drakkar S is an environmentally-friendly vessel.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/52343" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="33m yacht ROCK XL added to ROCK series by Vripack (2021-01-28 16:30:00 +0100)"></a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/52343" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="33m yacht ROCK XL added to ROCK series by Vripack (2021-01-28 16:30:00 +0100)"></a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/52343" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="33m yacht ROCK XL added to ROCK series by Vripack (2021-01-28 16:30:00 +0100)"></a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/52343" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="33m yacht ROCK XL added to ROCK series by Vripack (2021-01-28 16:30:00 +0100)"></a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/52343" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="33m yacht ROCK XL added to ROCK series by Vripack (2021-01-28 16:30:00 +0100)">30m ROCK XL by Vripack</a>&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186095/image/large-02f230f10530cd6f7d338e8d3c2954b7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186095"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/15" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Vripack (Company)">Vripack</a>’s new yacht design takes their 25-metre explorer ROCK and adds not just size but some functional improvements. The builders have expanded the living spaces onboard ROCK XL by 50% compared to the original design.
