internationally renowned urban planning architect in a very unusual shape.
Seventy-six meter long "Oculus," which is designed for 12 guests, looks like
a large sea creature, with one end looking uncannily like the jaw and eye
socket of a shark or a killer whale.
A second design, the futuristic, 91-meter "Infinitas," is based on the
figure-of-eight shape of an infinity loop.
The pair are the brainchild of Kevin Schopfer, a Boston, Massachusetts-based
architect who felt the design of luxury yachts should move away from generic
boat shapes to something more playful.
The two eye-catching designs, which include inside swimming pools and
helipads, are still looking for an owner. With a starting price of $95
million for Oculus and $140 million for Infinitas, they don't come cheap.
But Schopfer has teamed with naval architecture firm Sparkman & Stevens to
build more of the vessels.
"There are several potential clients interested in both Oculus and Infinitas
and discussions are ongoing," he told CNN. "And we are also working on
several more yachts."
