Beyond Horizons is a marine lifestyle concept created by Mercedes-Benz Design in collaboration with Maybach, structured as a luxury club operating at sea. The project centers on a flagship yacht featuring an elongated hull, panoramic glass surfaces, and sculpted exterior volumes with integrated terraces. The vessel is designed to host communal spaces, including lounges, dining areas, sun decks, and shaded zones arranged along a central axis. Materials and finishes reference automotive luxury, with smooth surfaces, muted color palettes, and refined detailing throughout the exterior and interior environments.
The interior layout includes modular lounges, private cabins, and flexible social areas intended to support different configurations and group sizes. Supporting vessels and tenders are included as part of the concept to extend mobility and access beyond the main yacht. The project is presented as a conceptual exploration rather than a production-ready offering, outlining a vision for hospitality and leisure through a floating, club-based format developed for open water settings.
