A floating Marina for super: This could be a “Galileo 2”. What has dreamed of the Bremen-based company beiderbeck Designs as tops even makes the super-Yacht of two Pixel artists from Holland.

Not because of the Bremer design would be less pretentious or more affordable – according to the author it is “the largest concept of” what they created ever, and costs at least 500 million euros. Without meaningful Small accessories such as yachts, helicopters or submarines.

But two aspects of the thing approach, realistically: the first implementation is at least conceivable. Secondly, The source has experience in Yacht and ship design.

The gigantic cat appeared with Beck design Float magazine space for Bars, Spas, and Pool

But from the beginning: two weeks Ago, for the first time, Renderings of the head birth of the Internet. “Galileo2” is a huge, no gigantic catamaran, around 200 meters long, 80 meters wide. Such dimensions are similar to actually those of the Dutch carrier-imagination.

On the Deck between the high-rise, high-hulls fantasy of the green aircraft carrier is the same as in the Pixel-plenty of space for the befitting Bars, Spas, and suites. A Central Pool with 1,700 square meters of space, it fits.

In the configuration, which was designed by the designers, all the glory, but only to an illustrious circle: 38 guests, beiderbeck Designs, are allowed on Board. You rich 75 crew members in the water or the towels, caviar, apply, or the pillow, shaking.

Who tilts at this offer from the mountain, in good hands, of Course, will be aboard also space for a private clinic.

the drive of The colossal Kats must keep the promise of the futuristic dimensions and, therefore, the Galileo2 not draw their energy needs from gas turbines or a nuclear reactor, but Methanol, which is converted by fuel cells into electrical power.

Up to 22 knots, the design should be able to go around 40 km/h. The range of estimates beiderbeck Designs to be 19,000 miles – a little more than half the circumference of the earth at the Equator.

has brought the type of energy the Bremer to think cocky, is, however, unclear. A reader, a commentator for the British Daily Mail, which was two weeks ago, the theme has a suggestion: The passing, “when was Designer came to their children during the Corona-insulation for new ideas and questions”.

Really? “For us, this is an exploration of the possibilities”, so the two owners of beiderbeck Designs, Immo Lüdeling and Tim Ulrich, to float. Show, so to speak, the “next step”. The company has Aden the necessary experience and, apparently, also a Reputation for such a crowd: “We find ourselves on many large yachts again.”

to be responsible for So beiderbeck Designs has built nine years ago, completed the Refit of the 138-metre Yacht Rising Sun, 2004 at Lürssen,. For the 1976 incurred sailing yacht “Phocea”, 75 meters long, and originally a four-masted schooner, has, company founder Jörg Beiderbeck designed during the Refit in 1999, the interior.

Who searches the Internet for the name of the company is, however, rather misleading. Right, so the company heads, it looks so, “as we would do nothing”. This has its cause in the confidentiality obligations to their super-wealthy clients. As Lüdeling and Ulrich with a wink betrayal say In secret, “would you chop off our hands.”

From the classic Design of a large yacht with a sharp bow and well-structured constructions to Megakat belongs to such a representation of the giant a-modes, it’s a bold step, but “the industry is pain-free,” as the two designers say. The sun to the increasing openness of industrial design.

it is Obvious this was the case in the recent past, in projects such as the Phillipe Starck creations sailing yacht, A, built in Kiel, and in 2017, put into operation, or motor yacht, both on behalf of the Russian oligarch Andrei Melnichenko. He represents, moreover, a growing group of customers, the “is less tied to the traditional yacht design.”

another reason is more pragmatic and is likely to be yacht sailors are familiar with: The cat has many benefits that can not offer a monohull boat. Especially a lot of space in the outdoor area: “up Until a few years ago, mega-yachts were very interior-focused”, so Lüdeling and Ulrich. In the meantime, will also be placed on the Open-Air zones, a lot of value.

The floating Marina

“And the cat comes into play.” What ship has to offer, an 80-Meter-wide Deck? Between the hulls there is a lot of area to fill in several levels: On the upper deck contractors have almost free scope for design. It is not disturbing masts, winches or rescue Islands. At sea level, room for “Toys & Tenders” as the necessary fleet will be called a mega-yacht in the industry.

So the concept of a floating arises yacht harbour: The Galileo2 in your lap, so between the massive hulls of space for Piers of a total of 80 metres in length. Here you can create “ordinary” yachts and other water vehicles, and to maneuver.

of Course, cranes are ready to dinghies abzufieren or to get yachts to maintenance out of the water. Which brings us to the case of application of floating harbour. The Galileo2 is literally the “mother of all yachts”. And that makes sense, not have minimized the creators of just cause Fanta: “such A cat replaced a complete Shadow Vessel.”

With this term are referred to boats or ships, the escort is usually as a provider and a floating Accommodation for Crew and guests in a prestigious mega-yacht. The huge cat offers so much space that he so a whole ship one part. And at a very reasonable price.

An animated water castle similar to castle in the air – after presentation of the Beck-heads, a suitable bait, the design Studio placed like yours from time to time in the pond. Apparently one or the other of thickness of fish caught then: “There are talks”, we can already tell.

The requesting Person’s interest in a 120-Meter-long Version. This is significantly smaller than the large-gauge design. However, in the current comparison is quite realistic. And: “The super-yachts are getting bigger and bigger.” Think big.
