Thanks to two solar-powered blimps instead of traditional parallel hulls. 🚢 engineering

The Air Yacht is a new addition to Lazzarini's series of unusual, luxurious designs. The floating catamaran is lifted by two 492 feet long airships connected to either side of a 262 feet long central hull.The central hull is 33 feet wide and allows for panoramic 360-degree views of the skies and ground below.

This allows the Air Yacht to fly at a leisurely pace of 60 knots for slightly more than 48 hours before it needs to be refueled. When it's sailing on the water, the Air Yacht moves at a speed of five knots . On top of the central hull is a helipad, presumably for passengers that have to get where they want to go a little quicker than 60 knots.
