The Alfra Vico Marino 52 would be a dream boat for an evil [Decepticon transformer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robosen-soundwave) to be able to change into. First of all, it exudes a meanness that only Decepticons have mastered and it’s pretty damn luxurious. I mean, it always seems as though the bad guys are also the rich guys. Should I take that away from a bad Transformer just because he’s just a machine?

Aside from the fact that I essentially labeled the Alfra Vico Marino 52 ‘evil,’ this is [one beautiful boat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikonic-yachts). Chalked full of advanced gadgetry for effortless high-speed and comfort, this yacht will not just be coveted by living machines but probably by you as well.
