DESIGN firm Lazzarini is planning a new yacht called Pangeos, which if built, will comfortably be the largest anything at sea.
Pangeos is shaped like a turtle, and is estimated to cost around USD$8 billion to build.
The “tetrayacht” – which designates a vessel larger than a superyacht, a megayacht, and a gigayacht – will be 550 metres long and 610 metres at its widest point – double the size of the Colosseum.
According to Lazzarini, Saudi Arabia is the intended location of the build.
Pangeos will house hotels, resorts, shopping centres, parks, and even a port for smaller ships and aircraft to allow guests access to the boat; if the thought you’re conjuring up is “floating city”, that is exactly how the yacht is being designed.
The flippers of the turtle will also offer 19 private villas and 69 apartments on each side.
Underneath the living areas, there will be 30,000 “cells” which will allow for Pangeos to float, buttressed by steel with 30 metres of draft, which will make her “unsinkable”…or so they say…
