Gigantomania for a good cause: With the “G-Quest”, the Californian yacht designer Steve Kozloff shows a ship that, if realized, would break all records in private shipping in one fell swoop. His design is a 215 meter long yacht – a whopping 35 meters longer than the currently longest yacht in the world, “Azzam”.
Luxury and philanthropic endeavors
But Kozloff didn’t just have luxury and abundance in mind when he designed it, but – quite modestly – the well-being of all of humanity. He says. Specifically, it says Presentation of the “G-Quest”: “The mission of ‘G-Quest’, a 215-meter yacht, is to enable its owner to monitor his philanthropic efforts while living in luxury at sea. She is designed for both humanitarian and research purposes .”
The supposedly noble project is intended to underline the planned equipment of the yacht: although three decks are dedicated to the well-being of the owner and his 26 guests, the remaining 9 decks are full of equipment for research and medicine. Kozloff is planning to install several research stations, laboratories for experiments with sustainable drives and fuels as well as the accommodation of an entire hospital with 20 beds and a robot-assisted surgery with fast internet connection.
The remaining data reads as if the buyer should ideally live on the yacht all year round – because the ship’s range is sufficient to cover large parts of the world. In addition, despite all charitable intentions, the fun should not be neglected: the yacht should offer space for two helicopters, an air taxi, two seaplanes and several dinghies. The “G-Quest” will also house a submarine for underwater discoveries.
The most expensive yacht in the world – if someone orders it
A solarium, several pools, a 300 square meter apartment, a basketball court and a beach bar will provide variety on board. So that the “G-Quest” is not completely dependent on the continuous operation of the engines at anchor, it should be able to design generators for wave energy in order to be able to maintain operations in a more environmentally friendly way.
The magazine “Robb report” writes that Steve Kozloff is assuming a price of one to 1.2 billion US dollars. This would not only secure the ship’s place as the longest yacht in the world, but also as the most expensive. Currently, “Dilbar” ( 800 million US dollars), “Eclipse” (700 million US dollars) and “Azzam” (600 million US dollars) share the podium. With one crucial difference: the three yachts mentioned exist – whether anyone has ever seen the “G -Quest” is currently not foreseeable.
