The volcano-inspired superyacht concept with a ‘molten trap’

And this new volcano-inspired design from Anthony Glasson of design studio M51 looks like it has the potential to be truly explosive.

Made of aluminum, the pyramid-shaped superstructure, which has a black-orange exterior and an ice-class steel hull, and what the designer describes as a “molten staircase”, although it looks suspiciously like a typical staircase.

With an estimated price tag of up to $100 million, the ship can accommodate up to 12 guests in its eight suites.

With fold-out balconies, a walkway deck and the aforementioned staircase, which leads to a counter-current pool, Forge is as eye-catching as it gets.

According to Glasson, the ship’s distinctive shape will allow for vaulted ceilings in the sky lounge, one of the many impressive features on board.

Guests can also take advantage of an onboard health club complete with a fully equipped gym, as well as a sauna and flotation tank.

As for entertainment, the ship will have its own private cinema, with a dedicated VR room, as well as a tender garage stocked with an array of water toys, such as jet skis, extreme sports gear, and scuba and snorkeling gear.

Equipped with a hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system, the vessel will have a range of approximately 5,000 nautical miles (approximately 8,046 kilometers).

While it’s just a concept at the moment, Glasson said it would likely take about two and a half to three years to build the superyacht if picked up.

While there hasn’t been any “serious” buyer interest yet, the concept has been getting a lot of attention since it was first unveiled earlier this month.

The impressive design comes just months after Glasson’s futuristic superyacht concept Solar Express, inspired by the 2004 film “The Polar Express,” was unveiled.

Meanwhile, earlier this year Italian studio Gabriele Teruzzi Yachts & Design unveiled the 110-meter Stella del Sud concept, inspired by the famous Cartier 128-carat diamond.
