This spacecraft-inspired customized superyacht is the ultimate gaming spot for its billionaire owner.
The 67.5-metre (223-foot) superyacht was customized for its billionaire owner to include a dedicated indoor video game room.
To unwind between video games, the sleek vessel also features a steam room, hydrotherapy space, and three swimming pools.

It’s the billionaire’s version of this shipwreck in the middle of the ocean converted into a gaming lounge.
‘Fluctus’ (Latin for ‘wave’) is the creation of Italian designer, Giorgio Pidalà, as reported by Boat International.
The futuristic silhouette with an elongated bow is said to be inspired by space exploration on the near horizon.
“All these design aspects come together through the concept of aerodynamics,” Pidalà explained.
Making the most of the resources on this planet, however, the customized superyacht is fitted with 190 square meters of solar panels to reduce its carbon footprint.
This is currently a huge focus in luxury and futuristic travel, like this eco-friendly AirYacht.
Pidalà’s aim is to ‘maximize the connection with the surrounding environment’.
Continuous spaces have been achieved via the removal of partition lobbies.
With a design concept labeled as ‘majestic minimalism’, this is achieved by opulent touches such as a swimming pool within the owner’s suite, and a walk-in closet – but the main event is a spiral staircase made entirely from glass.
The staircase allows for airflow to keep the vessel breezy, as the unconventional overhangs shelter the deck spaces against the sun to keep passengers cool.
Fluctus can accommodate up to 10 guests in its five lavish cabins, assisted by 17 crew.
And, in the spirit of ‘maximizing the connection with the surrounding environment’, it boasts sea views from every room.
When you’re not connecting with fellow gamers, you can connect with your inner self in the yoga and fitness space on the main deck or head to the dedicated steam and hydrotherapy rooms.
Chat through strategy in one of the lounges, or get to work in the dedicated workspace.
Head down to the lower deck and you can swim or relax by the pool with a drink in hand thanks to the stunning bar area, or head out and explore in the tender or two Jet Skis stored in a side-loaded garage.

All Supercar Blondie contributors undergo editorial review and fact-checking to ensure accuracy and authority in automotive journalism. After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
