Yacht Into a Teeny-Weeny Pod of Luxury

Most of us will never afford the mega-yacht of our dreams, so Italian design firm Lazzarini has taken all the amenities and luxuries of a floating executive pleasure den and distilled them into a compact pod.
The Jet Capsule comes in at 25 feet long and a little over 11 feet wide and has all the comforts you’d expect of a high-end yacht. There’s seating for eight, a diving platform, teak flooring, toilet, a bedroom conversion, and the ability to add a kitchen into the main compartment.

A Hamilton water jet engine puts out over 300 diesel-powered horsepower, good enough to get the Jet Capsule up to a cruising speed of 25 knots, or you can opt for a twin-engine design that boosts output to over 500 hp.



In addition to the customizable interior, there’s a rooftop platform for lounging in the sun and a UFO light scheme inside, outside, and underneath.
According to the designer, the Jet Capsule was created as “a boat small enough to be easily maneuvered, yet spacious enough to take a handful of friends out for drinks, over to a port for an evening’s entertainment.” So think of it more as a camper van for the seas rather than luxo-barge.
Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but it’s sure to be considerably more expensive than your weekend fishing boat. And Lazzarini has plans to offer fleet customization services, including an emergency and rescue design, a water taxi, and even an armored version for the military.
