As special offers go, it's one of the better ones. If you've got 20.5 millioneuros to spare, that is.
Forget your buy-one-get-one-free, this prototype megayachtwith the staggering price tag comes with a free gift - a 233mph designer supercar.
The 122ft luxury yacht has four double state rooms, a reception area and a salon with 52" LED TVs. It can reach top speeds of 43 knots, though you'd never know it from the calm Art Deco interior.
Meanwhile, when you get back to dry land you can drive off in the 'free' matching supercar, which is powered by a 880hp twin turbo V12 engine, can do 233mph and is be parked in the built in garage.
But be quick. Swedish firm Strand Craft, who have designed the matching boat and car, say only six will be made and already there's interest from potential buyers in the Middle East.

Azimut 105 - An Italian masterpiece
Italian yachts are such strong sellers in the American market. To get a better understanding why you have to see the Azimut 105.
Azimut is a sister company of one of the big names "Benetti". The Italian builders have worked very hard to maximize production efficiencies and keep prices competitive, while continually introducing new models to stimulate interest. An excellent example is the Azimut 105, an all-new flying-bridge design that replaces the company’s venerable 100-foot Jumbo.
The Azimut 105 is available in two basic arrangements. The standard arrangement has the owner’s stateroom up, the optional with it down.
The owner-up version has a master stateroom that rivals those aboard much larger yachts. Narrow side decks result in a nearly full-beam house, which allows the space necessary for a king berth, a comfortable sitting area with two chairs to port and a desk/vanity to starboard. The wow moment, though, comes when you descend a few steps to the bath and dressing area forward. It occupies the space that would normally be filled with two crew cabins.
On the forward bulkhead is a huge tub, complete with a clear side panel that echoes the oversized window in the 105’s hullside. It provides an aquarium-tour experience unlike any other. Opposite, on the aft bulkhead, is a glass-enclosed trapezoidal shower that’s large enough—roughly five feet by seven—to host a small party. His and hers sinks flank the tub, and there are hanging lockers here as well as in the main part of the stateroom.
The crew cabins, one with a double berth and one with upper and lower twins, have been shifted aft and given a separate stairway from the galley. The four guest staterooms lie between the crew and the engineroom, and are accessed via a curved stairway from the entry foyer on the starboard side. The two forward staterooms, fitted with twin berths and Pullmans, each has an en suite head with shower. The two aft VIP staterooms have queen berths and benefit from the big three-panel hullside windows evident in the 105’s profile.
Our test boat, as mentioned, had the country kitchen and media room, an arrangement that Azimut developed in deference to the American market and our generally more relaxed cruising style. A media room, outfitted for big-screen entertainment, lies just aft of the galley.
Belowdecks, the crew cabins are returned to their usual position in the bow, and again, four staterooms are situated between the crew and the engineroom, but in a different arrangement. There’s a single full-beam VIP stateroom forward with queen berth, and two twin-berth guest cabins with Pullmans, port and starboard, all with en suite heads.
Aft is the owner’s suite with a king berth, his and hers heads with a large shower between them, and a spacious walk-in closet and dressing room. This stateroom lies in the way of the hullside windows and takes full advantage of them. To port is a desk/dressing table that runs the length of the room, and to starboard is a sitting area with two lounges and small table between them. Whether used for the ultimate in intimate dining, for quiet reading, or for catching up on a bit of unavoidable paperwork, this is a fabulous little nook that evokes another wow moment.
The remainder of the arrangement plan is common between the two versions of the Azimut 105. The dining area and saloon, with three sofas to port, share a single space with a small bar and an entertainment center to starboard. It is a relaxing layout, but the modern interior décor, with its crisp lines and clean details, keeps it more sophisticated than casual. The joinerwork is cherry, finished in a dark matte on my test boat and a high gloss on the other, both with teak decks. Aft is a curved glass bulkhead with a sliding door that leads to the open deck, which is protected from the sun and rain by the extended bridge deck above. A large curved settee overhangs the transom, with a table adjacent for alfresco dining. Twin stairways lead to the integral swim platform, and a passerelle slides out of the upper end of the stair when needed for stern boarding.
The pilothouse has a leaning post in lieu of a helm chair, but for long runs, a nearby L-settee and table are convenient. A skylight in the starboard side of the console floods the entry foyer below with natural light. A second helm station is up a few steps on the flying bridge, situated to port of the steps. Optional hardtops cantilever forward and aft from the central radar arch, providing shade to the bar and dinette that lie amidships. Accordion-fold panels in the hardtops open when sun is preferred. There’s also a whirlpool spa and sunpads aft, plus space for lounge chairs. Tenders are stored below in a garage aft of the engineroom.
The engineroom is a compact space, but is well arranged, well finished and fairly accessible. The engines are fitted with V-drive gears and include shrouds over the jackshafts for safety. The V-drive configuration yields a flatter shaft angle for better propulsive efficiency and less likelihood of propeller cavitation.
