This is the Arctic Owl, a submarine-style yacht that can cross the Atlantic Ocean, twice, on one tank.
Aside from its technical merits, it also looks incredible.
A combination between a ferry, a yacht, and a submarine, this concept is truly one-of-a-kind.

This 200-footer was designed as a go-anywhere, do-anything ship.
Thanks to its sharp curves and sculpted bow, it can cut right through ocean waves and ice.

In addition to that, it combines a stainless steel hull with an aluminium superstructure.
That has a double effect: it makes it corrosion resistant and durable.
Once on board, among other things, you’ll find a helipad and ports that can accommodate U-Boat submersibles.
Don’t let the all-business exterior fool you because inside you’ll find enough room to accommodate guests in lavish luxury.
There are cabins for 10 guests, including two master cabins with panoramic views.
You also have a swimming pool and a lounge bar at the bow, and even a spa on the flybridge.
You need a lot of power to move this behemot around but the Arctic Owl has plenty.
It has two massive hybrid diesel-electric engines, giving a top speed of 18 knots (20 mph) and a cruising speed of 16 knots, or 18 mph.
The ship can cover 6,000 nautical miles on a tank – that’s New York to Portugal and back.
The bad news is this is just a concept and we don’t know whether the production model will ever come to life.
If it did, it would easily become one of the largest and most expensive passenger boats in existence.
You’re looking at a half billion dollars or more.
