The Xhibitionist is a concept yacht being designed to host celebrations and fancy parties for up to 600 guests. It is designed by legendary high-end yacht, car and motorbike designer Eduard Gray, and is essentially a 70 meter trimaran powered by a diesel-electric hybrid system. It includes fast-charging engine batteries, and can operate solely on battery for hours.
The design includes a huge restaurant, conference venue, lounge areas, catwalk and fashion show facilities, in addition to a disco, bar, casino and nightclub.
The highlight of the Xhibitionist is a massive deployable platform stashed at the front of the craft. This four-piece platform can be unfolded to provide space for three helicopters, or as a stage area for bands and live performances.
Construction on the Xhibitionist is set to begin soon and will take 18 to 24 months.
