Introducing: the world's first 3D-printed yacht

Sneakers, houses and even meat: almost everything comes out of a 3D printer these days. But never before has a yacht been 'printed'. If it is up to Jozeph Forakis, this will change quickly. The designer recently presented the futuristic design of superyacht PEGASUS.

The futuristic yacht was created on the island of Koufonissi, Greece. Jozeph was inspired to create a yacht that is as close to the sea and nature as possible;  made of clouds, floating over the waterline. Now this may sound a bit vague, literally and figuratively, but it must become reality. The yacht has a metallic, mirror-like finish that reflects the clouds and makes the yacht almost invisible at sea.  

The construction of the 88-meter-long yacht is made using 3D printing technology. The result is an exceptional lightweight structure that can be produced using less energy, material, waste, space and time compared to conventional structures. 

Tree of Life

The centerpiece of the futuristic design is the Tree of Life. This extends to several levels and forms the core of the so-called hydroponic garden which provides freshly grown vegetables and purifies the air on board. 

Pool club 

On the top floor you will find the master suite with a large private terrace. Jozeph Forakis designed a pool club on the foredeck. Handy extra: when closed, the pool cover functions as a helipad. 

PEGASUS will emit no CO2 and have a virtually unlimited range, since there solar energy is used to convert seawater into hydrogen. Thanks to this technical tour de force, the theme of 'invisibility' not only translates into the aesthetics of the yacht, but also into its impact on the environment. 

The PEGASUS is expected to brave the waters in 2030.
