Ir I s s e r I es From Eramotiv E

Coming across these unique creations at a recent exhibition, we were instantly drawn to the futuristic designs and the myriad possibilities they offered.

ThE FolloWIng are a new trio of bold Solar Hybrid Multi-Hull Superyachts, offered in lengths of 45 metres (three deck), 75 metres (five deck), and 125 metres (seven deck), from Eramotive.

It should be mentioned at this point that these are still just concepts, and that none have yet taken to water – Eramotive are currently showcasing the designs and the versatility they offer. The multi-hull design serves to increase the stability and deck space of the yachts, making for even more options as to what they can be used for.

The elliptical shape was chosen for its aesthetic appeal and unusual design (for a yacht, anyway), as well as its allowance for much more voluminous interior spaces. A vast range of customisable interior possibilities open up for each individual owner, from a private leisure yacht, home on water to a vessel for scientific expeditions, a floating convention centre, an entertainment venue or even as a one-of-a-kind boutique hotel.

However, the appeal of the elliptical shape goes even further, allowing for eco-friendly yachting courtesy of the solar panels that can cover the exterior of the yachts, while maintaining wide angle views from within. The Photo-voltaic panels wrapping the exterior are also revealed as retractable awnings on the top decks, making it possible for Iris One Twenty Five to maintain zero carbon cruising at a speed of 10 knots.

The Iris Series is offered in full or semi Photovoltaic coverage. Iris One Twenty Five, with a coverage span of an area of 2000+ sq. m. and partial coverage of 1100+ sq. m on solid surface. Transparent glass areas may be utilized for an additional coverage of 1500+ sq. m.

The helipad on the Iris One Twenty Five has a retractable enclosure as well, allowing the space to be easily converted into a recreational area for all types of climates.

A hydroponic garden can even be added for true self-sufficiency at sea. An open layout two-tiered salon, VIP suites with saunas, multiple pools, an art gallery, cinema, grand library, tender garage with bamboo drop doors and area for showcasing up to twelve collector cars are also among the many possibilities available.

The Iris Forty Five features an array of sliding glass panels on both sides of the structure which open up the interior and fully expose an outside deck. The decks seamlessly retract at 1.8 metre lengths thus harmoniously merging the inside and outside spaces into one.

The Iris Series is designed to change your perception of what a yacht can be, whether you are looking at it from the outside or from within.
