When you think of high-end luxury yachts, does Aston Martin come to mind? If you said yes, that’s one hell of a lucky guess. We don’t normally associate the Aston Martin name marine recreational vehicles but one European design house thinks a little differently than most others.
Luiz de Basto Designs have created a concept Voyage 55 yacht which is inspired by luxury-sport vehicles such as the Vantage, DBS, Virage, and Rapide. Now imagine those beautiful cars but on a boating platform. What you get is the “Aston Martin” Voyage 55. The Voyage 55 features two-person seating up front, luxurious interior, light luggage space, and plenty of room in the rear for a party. But the main selling feature of this boat is the unique design.
Design features that have been implemented on the Voyage 55 to resemble the Aston Martin include the golden Aston Martin logo front of the boat, the unique head lamps and bow clasp which can be found on earlier model Aston Martin vehicles. The Voyage 55 will not be using any wood on the boat to maintain a low carbon footprint. Most of the boat will consist of high quality fiberglass and of course, leather for the interior fittings.
If anyone is actually interested in purchasing this boat and the pricing, feel free to head over to Luiz de Basto for more details.
