# Lavish Water Taxis The VT36 Speed Yacht is Luxury Aqua Transportation for Business Big Wigs By Michael Hines | Published 2011-06-15 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vt36-speed-yacht References: [tuvie](http://www.tuvie.com/vt36-36-feet-speed-yacht-for-business-transportation/) & [yachtndesign](http://www.yachtndesign.com/) The future of business transportation may very well be the VT36 Speed Yacht. Designed by Hyun-Seok Kim, the VT36 Speed Yacht is designed to take business men and women across small bodies of water in lightning-fast speed. Many of the world's major cities are built next to bodies of water, so [traveling by boat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yamaha-crosswave-waverunner), especially during rush hour, seems to make a lot of sense. The VT36 Speed Yacht isn't just a normal boat; it has a [luxurious design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikonic-yachts) with hardwood floors and shapely, futuristic chairs that appear to swivel a full 360 degrees. The boat can be used for transportation or impromptu business meetings. Traveling to the other side of town on a yacht may seem ridiculous, but when you consider the fact that the alternatives are either walking or sitting in traffic, it doesn't sound like such a bad idea. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 92% | Activity: 85% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Water Transportation:** The luxury water transport trend is disrupting the traditional ground transportation industry by offering business professionals an alternative with unique features of style, speed, and convenience. - **Personalized Yacht Design:** Personalization is a growing trend in the yacht industry, with yacht designers and manufacturers offering their clients bespoke design services that cater to individual tastes, preferences and lifestyles. - **Green Yachting:** The Green Yachting trend focuses on sustainable, eco-friendly yachts that minimize the environmental impact of yachting while enhancing travel experience for business commuters. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Transportation Industry:** The transportation industry is ripe for disruption and has been in recent years, with the emergence of new luxury transport options and personalized services. - **Yacht Industry:** The yacht industry is experiencing an evolution in design and function, catering to high-end business commuters who demand bespoke services and experiences from their watercraft. - **Green Energy Industry:** The Green Energy Industry is poised to capitalize on the green yachting trend that emphasizes eco-friendly yachts that minimize the carbon footprint of water transportation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Riproaring Luxury Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opulent-luxury-yachts.md) - [Humongous Hydrofoil Luxury Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydrofoil-luxury-yachts.md) - [Hydrofoil-Equipped Yacht Tenders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alte-volare-yacht-tender.md) - [Quad-Deck Vehicle Brand Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vnz-lamborghini-mega-yacht-88m.md) - [Seafaring Sky Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airyacht.md) - [Ultra-Luxe Jet Skis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supermarine-mm01.md) - [Luxe Electric Hydrofoil Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-icon.md) - [Haute Electric Cruising Boats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persico-zagato-1002-hyperboat.md) - [Jet-Ski Powered Yachts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-16.md)
