BMW Flying Glass Yacht!

We got to drive BMW and TYDE's brand-new futuristic flying yacht 'The Icon'! It's one of the most futuristic boats ever made with an interior that's taken straight from a VIP lounge.

Best of all, it can literally fly above the water when it reaches 18 knots! It even features sound design from legendary composer Hans Zimmer, to go with the extremely smooth ride as you fly across the sea.

It's the definition of a luxury watercraft and we had a lot of fun taking it for a spin!

The efficiency is impressive , but it's more like a water taxi than a yacht ....

All this amazing Technology! Makes this retired 65 year-old Mechanical Engineer grin from ear to ear. Too bad I can't afford one...
Many years ago I built a R/C hydrofoil. Everything was fixed in place and it actually worked if you kept the speed "just right". 😁

I actually think this is a great concept. Good for someone who maybe doesn't want a full on yacht with cabins and staterooms but wants something they can spend a day on the water in. It desperately needs a small bathroom and a minimal kitchenette though.

I like how she explained how to operate the yachts...she expects us to own it soon...😊😊😊😊

Whatever one may say, this “yacht” has a spectacular presence. And wherever you go, you will make an incredible impression. I wouldn't mind having this amphibious living room. Congratulations on the different review 👏👏🇵🇹

[beardown]

Ok that was super cool and futuristic looking. Cool concept. Must be a wild experience to have that smooth ride

[dstorm]

I took a hydrofoil ferry from Copenhagen to Malmo in 1971, so this "flying" concept has been around for a while

[luxelist]

So futuristic and luxurious. Loved this.

[kurtking]

Congrats to BMW and TYDE, I do like the concept. ❤

[frankrich]

That's not a yacht, it's a dinghy with a living room 😂😂😂😂

[muhammedjaved]

They missed a huge opportunity to put solar panels on top and get free charge because boats don’t go out everyday

[williampearl]

BMW finally bought a tech from a Indian bases US company 👏👏👏
It was featured two years ago by a Indian founder and CEO "Sampriti Bhattacharyya". She founded the company called 'Navier'.
Navier's electric hydrofoil boat, the Navier 30, is America's first electric hydrofoil boat. The boat can rise off the surface at about 17 miles per hour and stands on three struts.

I don’t even like being on the water but I would buy this 😍

[editkirandangiofficial]
