# Hardtop Convertible Yachts The Hyun-Seok Kim Yacht is Sleek, Sharp, and Futuristic By Michael Hines | Published 2010-10-20 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyun-seok-kim-yacht References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/futuristic-and-luxury-yacht-with-moveable-roof/) & [yachtndesign](http://www.yachtndesign.com/) I challenge you to find a yacht either conceptual or real that looks anything like the Hyun-Seok Kim Yacht. This yacht has a hardtop roof that folds out to let the sunshine in and an interior that looks straight out of a [sci-fi film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meta-turismo). This yacht looks like it was designed for secret missions, but the [sofas and bedrooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aman-amangati-yacht) suggest otherwise.
