Not only striking in appearance, the Rome-based design studio’s project would be the widest superyacht ever built, with a 34m (111.5ft) beam, which not only delivers huge living areas but also creates her own port, with a berth for an additional superyacht of up to 30m (98ft).
The scale of the design will also put PRODIGIUM well and truly in the top ten longest superyachts ever built and she is bursting with features that would befit a yacht of her size. Spread across six decks, PRODIGIUM provides accommodation for 44 guests, can carry a total of eight tenders stored across two garages along with three helicopters and has three pools.
The scale of the design will also put PRODIGIUM well and truly in the top ten longest superyachts ever built.
The concept is the second of six nature-inspired yachts by Lazzarini, the first being 137m (450ft) swan-inspired concept AVANGUARDIA, details of which were released in September. PRODIGIUM takes inspiration from a very different water-dwelling creature with an upper deck, constructed from carbon and aluminium, that is designed specifically to resemble the form of a shark.
Also mixed in are design elements taking their inspiration from the Roman Empire, most notably two Roman columns are positioned at either side of the main entrance.
Accommodation is concentrated further down in the hull to ensure onboard comfort, whilst extendable 7m (23t) terraces on either side of the superyacht allow guests to relax waterside.
The engineering is as innovative as the design with the carbon and aluminium superyacht powered by a hybrid propulsion system to give a cruising speed of 22 knots. PRODIGIUM’s 300 square meter rooftop is home to a helipad and a large area of solar panelling which will give enough autonomous power to light up the superyacht when docked.
Lazzarini estimated it will cost an Owner around $550million (€450million) to build with a construction period of around 28 months.
Currently PRODIGIUM is just a concept, if you are interested in buying a yacht of a similar scale you can view all new and used superyachts for sale.
