A spectacular superyacht has been designed by an internationally-renowned urban planning architect in a very unusual shape – a huge sea creature! Seventy-six meter long “Oculus,” which is designed for 12 guests looks like a large sea creature, with one end looking uncannily like the jaw and eye socket of a shark or a killer whale. A second design, the futuristic 91 meter-long “Infinitas” is based on the figure-of-eight shape of an infinity loop. The pair are the brainchild of Kevin Schopfer who felt the design of luxury yachts should move away from the generic boat shapes of most yachts to something more playful. The two awe-inspiring designs, which included inside swimming pools and helipads are still looking for an owner. With a starting price of $140 million for “Infinitas” and $95 million for “Oculus,” they don’t come cheap. But Schopfer stated: “There are several potential clients interested in both “Oculus” and “Infinitas” and discussions are ongoing. And we are also working on several more yachts.”
Schoepfer Yachts was founded in 2008 as a US based company dedicated to the pursuit of advanced yacht aesthetics and technology. Schöpfer Yachts is among a new breed of yacht companies, which will secure strategic alliances with the world’s finest naval architects and shipyards. This strategy will allow the flexibility to explore a wide range of design venues while insuring these designs meet and exceed the highest level of maritime standards. Schoepfer is also pleased to announce that Sparkman and Stephens (New York, Ft. Lauderdale and Newport) will be the naval architect for their first venture, the Oculus. As they enter the next generation of yachting design, Schoepfer offers his design collection to the global yachting community and to prospective owners who share his vision of innovation and excellence.
