The Earth 300 super yacht is an ultra-modern vessel that maintains a futuristic form and function on the ocean that would provide researchers with a way to better understand our environment and climate change.
The yacht is 300-meters in length and puts a science sphere in the spotlight right in the middle of the vessel, which boasts a staggering height of 13 stories. The vessel would be outfitted with 22 laboratories with state-of-the-art equipment along with a cantilevered observation deck as well as space for up to 160 scientists, 164 crew members and 40 VIP guests.
The Earth 300 super yacht concept is the design work of Founder of Iddes Yachts naval architect Iván Salas Jefferson and would run entirely on nuclear energy to maintain an emissions-free functionality.
