Kokomo Ailand: Private Island Luxury Yacht

The future of yachting has just become more…futuristic! Picture yourself on your own private floating island, enjoying the pool complete with waterfall and exotic birds, or perhaps getting a massage in the salon. Sounds boring? Boogie on the dance floor or take the underwater elevator to feed some sharks.

“Motion Code Blue” sounds like something ominous, almost like code in a spy movie. And indeed, we could easily picture James Bond or his megalomaniac opponents lounge on this super yacht – the latter plotting world dominion; Bond, of course, frolicking with beauties. Behold Austrian mega yacht design by Motion Code Blue aka Migaloo Submarines and their brand new Kokomo Ailand submersible yacht, which is designed to look and feel like a private floating island.

The self-propelled Kokomo Ailand features an owner’s penthouse 80 meters above sea levels, two elevators, beach club, beach gym, and glass-bottom Jacuzzi. The jungle deck, a sheltered enclave complete with exotic plants, vertical gardens, palm trees and wildlife, has a pool with waterfall and cocktail bars. On the spa deck you will find the gym and massage and beauty salons, while the garden deck is perfect for lounging – or you can barbecue on the beach deck. From there, an elevator takes you to the beach club.

Your guests, who come and go via helipad, can enjoy incredible sea views from their private balconies. Should that get boring, there’s plenty of entertainment: an outdoor movie theater, laser light shows, a dance floor and stage, and an underwater elevator for shark feeding. Aside from the owner’s three-floor, 300-square-meter penthouse, there are six suites and four VIP suites. In all, the yacht is configured to fit 32 people: sixteen crew, two officers, one captain, twelve guests, and two owners. Submerged, it can endure two to three days, and with Stirling air-independent propulsion about two weeks.

The concept was presented at the Monaco Yacht Show in September 2015, and the company has already received many inquiries from interested parties. The Austria-based yacht design studio has also designed the word’s first Hydrogen-operated, Energy Autonomous Superyacht, and the Icon Selazzio Superyacht, an over-the-top-luxurious floating mansion (see both below).

Aston Martin Unveils $4M Submarine

A classy car is a coveted item for many. Rolls Royce, Porsche, Ferrari — all of these names have come to represent a certain social status, a jet-setting lifestyle, and a taste for the finer things in life. Of course, these big-name cars also come with hefty price tags, and as such, they are often associated with the rich and famous. Several Hollywood bachelors — from hero James Bond to slickster Steve McQueen — have been known for their fast and furious “boy’s toys,” but Aston Martin has recently announced a new super-vehicle that’s sure to blow the cars of the silver screen gods out of the water. Enter the luxury submarine, which is expected to go for a whopping $4 million.

British luxury sports car manufacturer Aston Martin unveiled its latest concept vehicle at last month’s Monaco Yacht Show, and it even has a Bond-esque codename: Project Neptune. The project is a collaboration between the renowned car designer and submersible manufacturer Triton, and the result is a stunningly futuristic submarine that has all the panache and style of an Aston Martin car, with the obvious difference that you will be driving underwater instead of through the Tuscan countryside. Aston Martin is leading the design, while Triton is handling the practical aspects of making a submersible vehicle. Triton President Patrick Lahey says, “We have always admired Aston Martin. The marque represents a deeply held passion for technology, engineering, and timeless, elegant design. From our first interaction, it was apparent that Triton and Aston Martin were natural partners and our complimentary values will be realized in this truly exciting project.”

Project Neptune is being billed as “an ultra-exclusive, strictly limited edition submersible that will redefine luxury and performance for a select few.” The idea that the sports car/submarine hybrid will only be available to a small portion of the public shouldn’t be surprising given the reported price. In fact, the project is so clandestine, only a small amount of information has actually been revealed about it, except for some renderings that show the sub as having a streamlined form with two projecting arms at its front and a bubble-like capsule for the driver and two passengers to sit in, creating the overall effect of an underwater spacecraft. Apparently, there will only be 12 of these vehicles available for purchase each year, and no doubt the competition to own one of them will be fierce. The Vice President of Aston Martin, Marek Reichman, says, “Project Neptune is defined by its sleek, elegant exterior. We have used forms and proportions that express the same devotion to design, engineering, and beauty that shape our cars, such as the Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar project.”

Project Neptune is part of Aston Martin’s effort to further advance into the luxury market, and the car company has previously made forays into the nautical world in the form a luxury powerboat. Bradley Yorke-Biggs, the CEO of Aston Martin Consulting, encapsulated his company’s vision of the project by saying, “Project Neptune is a flagship project for Aston Martin Consulting. It is a clear and engaging demonstration of how Aston Martin’s expertise in sports car design and craftsmanship can be extended into new aspects of the luxury world.”
