Inside futuristic superyacht with eerie AI tech that can predict everything you need before you even think about it
PLANS for a luxurious superyacht fitted with AI that can supposedly ‘predict guests’ every need’ has been tabled by an Italian shipyard.
The new superyacht concept, called Solsea, has been put forward by Viareggio-based Rossinavi, which has been building boats since the 80s.
The AI technology is set to be Rossinavi’s own system, the company announced during Miami’s cultural and design week on Miami Beach, Florida, as reported by Luxury Boat News.
It is designed to watch guests and anticipate what they may want next.
The sci-fi-style system aims to give lucky passengers exactly what they desire, before it even enters their head.
Partly powered by solar panels, the AI may also work towards making the hybrid-electric vessel more environmentally friendly, bosses at the shipyard suggested.
Having partnered with Swiss-born American designer Yves Béhar, the 43m-long catamaran superyacht is decked to the nines in luxury.
Solsea boasts a spacious platform off the back of the boat for water sports, a lounge pool and an owner’s cabin with 180 degree views of the ocean.
The top deck features a bar, and an elaborate outside seating area for daytime sunbathing and fine dining by night.
Rossinavi’s first AI-powered catamaran, Seawolf X, was unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show in late September.
“Now, following the success of the first catamaran equipped with artificial intelligence, we’re thrilled to unveil Solsea, a fresh reinterpretation of this cutting-edge naval technology,” Federico Rossi, CEO of Rossinavi, said in a statement.
Solsea is still just an idea on paper and has yet to actually get on the water.
He added: “It’s been an incredible journey to see how Yves Béhar reimagined the naval platform of our hybrid-electric catamaran.
“His fresh, external perspective brought a style that is both luxurious and refined.
“This collaboration began shortly after we developed the Seawolf X concept three years ago and marks an exciting new chapter for us.”
Yves Béhar noted: “For me, Solsea is a return to simpler, more respectful ways to enjoy the oceans while integrating the future of efficient propulsion, and cutting-edge technologies.”
