A spectacular superyacht has been designed by an internationally renowned urban planning architect in a very unusual shape.

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.

You're too generous. Proof (again) that money can't buy taste.

I seen this pic on another forum and I actually think its kinda cool. I mean think about it...The last 50+ years yachts have really had the same basic lines and design. Why not try something different! Breakin the mold. Now this still doesn't mean I'd own one...

Thats what they said about the Chrysler "K" car, the electric spaghetti fork, the Ford Pinto, the dollar coin, the Pontiac Fiero, etc...LMAO

Kidding aside, the bow and the eyeball have to go....even if I had the $100,000,000, no way.

Me thinks you're right. Gack, that thing is proof that money can't buy good taste.

I liked this comment from a CNN visitor...

"I pray that people with money acquire taste and people with taste acquire money. It is rare to find an individual with the entire package."

How the hell are you going to wash the sides of it?

After spending 95 mil I'd just pay someone a mil or 2 to wash it. Let the peons figure out how to do it.
As long as they get it cleaned before I go fishing in the channel, it's cool.

Bet the owner would bring it to the MacRay gas dock if you offered a free wash with a fill up.

Looks more like a Dolphin than a Killer Whale.

Interesting, I'm not sure I like it. I would love to see the inside though.

If you follow the link I posted it has pics of the inside. The "mouth" in the pic is actually the stern of the boat.
