Buy Megayacht and get a Personalised Supercar free!
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.

The Amazing Oculus megayacht from Schöpfer Yachts
Introducing the Oculus Yacht by E. Kevin Schöpfer
"The pursuit of advanced yacht aesthetics and technology" - That is Schöpfer Yachts' promise and by looking at the pictures of their new breed 250-foot OCULUS they deliver.The beautiful Oculus luxury yacht was designed by E. Kevin Schöpfer. It is able to accommodate 12 guests and can do long distance cruising, capable of speeds upwards of 25 knots.
The exterior styling is representative of the jaw and eye socket bone structure of large oceanic fish and mammals. Featuring a dramatic reverse bow configuration, the yacht’s armature balances an elegant expression of symmetry and structure.
Oculus is the Latin word for eye - It is not hard to notice the large eye shaped design feature in the rear of the boat.
In addition to the bow, Oculus also features a “low rider profile”. This slightly lowered surface allows for new side recreational areas, alternate dockage access and light cruising openness. Lateral retractable side panels close this area when heavier wave action is indicated.
Oculus yacht main features:
The interior features of Oculus focus on a 12 foot high ceiling in the main salon, a cylindrical double height dining room, central stair and elevator tube, and seemingly anatomical ceiling and floor lighting extensions giving definition to the seating areas.
The second level is the dedicated Owner’s suite. Living areas and bed chambers are divided by a series of four free-standing tubes, which house bath and storage necessities.
In addition to the main common stair, the second Owner’s stair connects to the third level aft private salon and deck / water feature.
The third level also contains the forward pilothouse and separate captain’s quarters. The generous open decks with separate water features are located forward and aft for convenient guest use. Specifications and plans are in the final stages of completion and will be posted at a later time.
