A yacht inspired by a car: Kraken By Gray Design

Swedish studio Gray Design have created a huge superyacht inspired by a car of their own design too. See all the renderings of the craft here.

With a top speed of 35 knots, this 200 foot yacht is nothing short of impressive.

Gray Design came up with the concept of creating a matching set of vehicles for land and sea and that’s when Kraken was born. This sleek vessel was inspired by another of the Swedish design company’s creation, their Vapour T sports car, an impressive motor that reaches 180 miles per hour.

The yacht has been designed as a four-decked catamaran with accommodation in each hull. The owner’s deck and the captain’s house are raised and have the best panoramic views, thanks to a windscreen that functions as a skylight. The Kraken, named after a mythical giant sea monster said to be living in Norway and Greenland sea, boasts a large beach club and reception area at the aft of the yacht and a large space for a helipad at the bow. The top decking is large and is made of dark stained teak for a chic finish.

Just like the Vapour T the metallic paintwork is offset by intense red highlights and chrome brightwork. This yacht and car duo would appeal to a moneyed boat and motor sport lover with a penchant for high speed. We’ll now have to wait and see whether it’ll ever be built.

Swedish Gray Design are the designers behind yacht concepts Xhibitionist and Fairwei.
