A Concorde-shaped superyacht could be the future of luxury vessels.

The jaw-dropping new design sees a 130-meter-long (426 feet) trimaran shaped as a "floating bird."

Turkish yacht designer Aras Kazar has called his creation Wakíŋyaŋ, which he explains is a Native American Lakota people word for thunder.

He says: "The word is usually translated as 'Thunder Spirits,' 'Thunder Beings', or 'Thunder Birds."

Describing the yacht, Aras said: "This floating bird on the water is 130 meters long. I followed my sleek line on this project.

"The full glass decks provide almost 360 views with lots of natural light for the interior.

"The interior design follows the soft, gentle, cloudy feeling of the exterior. Wakinyan is designed to make you feel calm and relaxed, either when you are enjoying it from the inside or just looking at it from outside."

Guests can enjoy a pool on the aft, a spa inside, as well as five "soft, comfy, cloudy" bedrooms and one master bedroom.

Wakinyan is equipped with all-electric and hydrofoil technology that would reach a maximum speed of 32 knots.

"It is not one of those boring, slow superyachts," Aras said.

The designer says the Wakíŋyaŋ is at a "concept level" at the current time, but could go into production if an investor is found.
