The Eden MotorYacht concept is a portrait of grandeur

This luxury motoryacht concept called, The Eden by Daniel Hahn, a German design professional, is drool-worthy owing to its sleek lines and luxurious silhouette. The “Eden” name itself is intended to evoke “desirability, freedom and personal space.” The 21 meter (72 foot) fast motoryacht is powered by a pair of 1,250 horsepower inboard engines. The hull and body of the Eden is formed from two primary materials to provide an interesting contrast. The lower hull section is formed from lightweight carbon fiber, while the main body of the craft is sculpted from wood to give it a luxurious finish. The yacht features a single-piece windshield to keep the overall shape as slippery as possible. Even the anchor is integrated into the body. The interior of the speedyacht has room for 3 guests and a single crew member. The proposed range at maximum speed (40 knots) is 360 miles.
