It’s no secret that luxury yacht designers have been borrowing design ideas from the automotive world for many years. Over the past few years, the yachting industry has seen several exciting collaborations with leading car marques, including Lamborghini, Porsche, BMW, and Ferrari.
Here, we look at two of the most exciting luxury yachts that take their design inspiration from the automotive world: the Tecnomar Lamborghini yacht 63 and THIS IS IT, also by Tecnomar.
Tecnomar Lamborghini yacht 63
One exciting collaboration is the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63, a head-turning 20-metre vessel that is the result of a collaboration between Lamborghini and Tecnomar.
Described as a high-speed supercar on water, the Tecnomar Lamborghini yacht combines the signature style of both legendary brands.
Tecnomar, part of the Italian Sea Group, has long been recognised as one of the world’s leading luxury yacht builders, known for its cutting-edge design and advanced technologies combined with the best Italian nautical traditions, while Lamborghini is considered one of the world’s leading luxury high-performance car marques.
The Tecnomar Lamborghini yacht 63 boasts sculptured lines and geometric patterns, a distinct design reminiscent of both brands’ shared Italian style and tradition. Like many yachts built by Tecnomar, the Lamborghini yacht 63 was built to break conventional boat-building rules.
The yacht’s inspiration comes from the Lamborghini Sian FKP 37, a hybrid sports car, and her colour and style details can be customised to suit each owner.
Speed and weight are this yacht’s two highlights. She can reach a thrilling 63 knots, thanks to her two powerful engines, cleverly designed aerodynamics, and lightweight hull, which enables her to meet the classification range of ultralight boats with a maximum weight of 24 tons for 63 feet (19.2-metres) in length.
Her beautiful interiors are reflective of refined made-in-Italy design and Lamborghini styling, boasting high-tech materials and exceptional craftsmanship. The pilot cabin boasts an automotive cockpit in a nautical key, with Lamborghini’s iconic start and stop buttons, one for each of the yacht’s two engines.
Tecnomar THIS IS IT
The luxury Tecnomar yacht THIS IS IT is a luxury 43.5-metre motor catamaran that is also heavily inspired by the automotive world.
Gian Marco Campanino, THIS IS It’s yacht designer, explains: “The main inspiration comes from the automotive world, like a sports car or a powerful car. There is no convention. The luxury is given by the materials used, and there is much more behind what you see. Of course, not everybody will catch this.”
He adds: “Our main goal was to create something that is an architecture on water, fascinating, seductive, and mysterious. Nothing is straight, nothing is as it is supposed to be. There are lots of curves and random shapes on one section, then on the other side, everything is straight. It’s a catamaran, left, right, feminine and masculine.”
THIS IS IT enjoyed her global debut at the 2023 Monaco Yacht Show and is available for exclusive yacht charters in Greece during the summer and the Red Sea in winter.
This superb Tecnomar vessel can accommodate up to 12 guests across six elegant cabins, including a spectacular owner’s area that boasts an extraordinary height of 3.3-metres, organically shaped skylights that flood the suite with natural light, and a wonderful private terrace, ideal for soaking up the warm Mediterranean sunshine.
Alongside her exceptional, automotive-inspired design, her many highlights include a vertical garden that spans two decks, a swimming pool on the aft deck, an extravagant salon with an elegant bar, games, and cinema area, a show kitchen, and a superb selection of tenders and toys.
