Italian shipyard Codecasa has unveiled plans for the new 230-foot aircraft-inspired yacht called Codecasa Jet 2020, which looks like a floating jumbo jet. Codecasa describes it as “a one-of-a-kind creative explosion” that fuses aviation and marine design.
Sporting numerous stylistic features “borrowed” from aviation, the Codecasa Jet 2020 has been hailed by the yard as “breaking the mould” of yacht design. “The result is something that has never been seen before on the sea,” the yard said. The design will include “clean and minimal lines” with “huge exterior and interior spaces”.
The bow emulates the nose of a jumbo jet and the forward section is solid and round in shape similar to a cockpit. Meanwhile, the aft “develops vertically, recalling the “tail of an aircraft,” and there are small rounded rectangle windows dotting the sides of the vessel just like a jumbo jet.
The main deck bow area is dedicated to the owner’s suite while the eight guests are accommodated in four cabins on the lower deck. The crew quarters sit forward of the lower deck while the captain’s cabin meanwhile is adjoined to the pilothouse on the bridge deck. This deck is serviced by a lift connecting all three decks.
The design’s centrepiece is a remarkable sundeck that will span approximately 65 feet in length and 32 feet in width. Here, guests will have access to an expansive recessed swimming pool, which will measure 20 feet long, as well as a sunbathing area and covered gym. There is also a sea-level Beach Club which boasts its own lift and adjoining sky lounge with large glass windows.
To top it off, Codecasa Jet 2020 will be fitted with a helipad to accommodate medium- or large-sized choppers and a double tender area, which will be able to accommodate all manner of sea explorer.
Inside, the jet-yacht hybrid will have space for 10 guests. A luxurious owner’s suite will occupy the whole main deck bow area, while four well-appointed guest cabins will be located in the lower deck next to the crew quarters which comprise the forward area.
Construction on the project will begin in the first half of 2020.
