If zooming
over the waves in a sleek
high-end vessel that looks right out of a science-fiction movie
is your idea of fun, then London-based firm Glider Yachts has the
answer: the
Super Sports 18, a futuristic-looking luxury craft that can reach speeds of up
to 64 miles per hour.
The
high-performance sports day boat—as the company describes it—boasts a striking
minimalist design, with an open cockpit with room for five atop a pair of
innovative hulls devised to cut smoothly through the water, even at high
speeds. The 60-foot-long hand-built boat, powered by four 270-horsepower
supercharged engines, is capable of traveling from Monaco to Saint-Tropez or
Miami to the Bahamas in just 45 minutes.
“We are
absolutely thrilled to finally show off the first Glider to the world,” Glider
Yachts managing director Robert McCall said in a statement. “The SS18 is unlike
any other yacht seen in the market today, with unparalleled design and
technological capabilities—we’re sure she is going to be a real game-changer.”
Along with its
streamlined exterior, the SS18 features a smart tailored interior anchored by
custom-made luxury leather sports seats by Corbeau and chrome detailing, adding
to the overall polished feel.
The yacht,
fitted with a specially engineered audio system by JL Audio and a bespoke
Garmin dashboard with a state-of-the-art navigation system, is priced around
$1.3 million. For more information, visit glideryachts.com/supersports/
