Caronte is a concept - let's say bold - of a 200-foot superyacht, proposed by the Italian studio Lazzarini Design. This same studio to whom we owe the Jet Capsule a mini-yacht all in roundness with a bumper car look.
With this new design, Lazzarini revisits the concept of the 17th century pirate ship with a superstructure that rises 6 m above the waterline. In other words, a fortress imprenable?! This architecture makes it possible to create a large interior volume to integrate a garage capable of accommodating two luxury cars. In addition to hosting supercars, the garage walls expand to form balconies on the water.
On the main deck, there is a 4.5 m swimming pool, a heliport and a sports hall hidden in the forepeak. Speaking of the forward point, we will notice this strange advance, a kind of dolphinière.
On board, there is also a reception room with a dining room for 10 people, three double cabins, a large lounge and a large wheelhouse at the end of the superstructure. This arrangement is supposed to be reminiscent of the former pirate ships, where the captain's command post was located at a height.
The feasibility of such a design can be perplexing, as can the concept, which is much talked about on the web, such as this commentary:"It really seems like it was designed by someone whose experience in boating is limited to playing with plastic ducks in a bathtub. This monster will be a real horror at sea, even in moderate winds, and impossible to maneuver in a marina." But after all, original concepts are born every day and some are even born, like the Sailing Yacht A admired or hated.
