The HYSWAS Tetrahedron Super Yacht by UK-based designer Jonathan Schwinge is a futuristic water craft that looks like a pyramid floating on the water. While the design may look like something out of a fantasy film, Schwinge's idea is surprisingly feasible.

In collaboration with the [Marcel Müler](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-domino-act), INMAINCO and The Maritime Applied Physics Corporation, Schwinge outlined his designs for the HYSWAS Tetrahedron Super Yacht. The vessel itself consists of side-mounted adjustable foils that form the shape of a pyramid. This portion sits atop a vertical strut that is attached to a submerged torpedo hull. The unique design makes the vessel appear as though it is levitating as it glides over the water.

While the [futuristic yacht](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beyond-horizons) is still just a concept, the design demonstrate the future of [luxury water crafts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aman-amangati-yacht).
