Have you ever thought of living on a lifeboat when the end of the world arrives? Growing your own fruits and vegetables? It doesn't seem to be a dream anymore. The German design studio 3deluxe has recently launched a new superyacht concept named VY-01, as one of the highlights at the Monaco Yacht Show, which is a carbon-neutral 110-meter superyacht that complete with a "garden-like" interior.

Back to the wild, the interior concept adopts a nature-oriented philosophy, generating a light-suffused, loft-like space including a greenhouse, lounge living space, kitchen, bar, and vegetable garden. Luxury is rewritten entirely with natural surroundings replacing acrylic glass and brass, while natural healthy air replaces excessive air conditioning.
Healthy food cultivated on-board, fresh fish captured from the ocean, while additional water needed for the plants is made available by the seawater desalination system, powered by the zero-carbon solar panels on the roof and the exterior.
Simple Elegant Design

The simple elegant exterior of the ship is characterized by a homogeneous, closed shape. Reduced and streamlined, the volume offers minimal resistance to wind and weather, and the hull merges seamlessly with the side facade right up to the highest point of the ship. Sensor-controlled louvers are integrated into the raised side walls to regulate the amount of light reaching the upper decks and can be closed during fast sailing and adverse weather.
The protected flat roof is glazed and lets daylight into the interior. in addition to which the side sensor-controlled louvers also boast transparent photovoltaic cells, which provide power for air conditioning, light and the desalination system.

The wheelhouse is unconventionally located at the bow so the open sundeck behind it can extend seamlessly through into a generous one-space interior concept. At the open stern there is a saltwater pool and a small marina with direct access to the sea.
Response to Climate Change
The effects of climate change are felt in every industry, and in every part of the world, which is why many organizations have been forced to rethink their future as it relates to the sustainability of the planet. Within the boating sector, there are a number of factors that can be improved upon to mitigate climate impact, including zero emission ships.
The most attractive and progressive key technology for zero-carbon propulsion of cruise ships and yachts is currently considered to be fuel cells driven by hydrogen. The hydrogen required for the fuel cells can either be refueled or produced locally using methanol from emissions-free production. Methanol is more readily available and less complex to handle than hydrogen, and with one full tank of bio-methanol a fuel-cell yacht travelling at slow speed can still cover a distance of 1.000 nautical miles.
Private Yacht and Educative Vessel in One
"Ideally," says the 3Deluxe team, "the ship will be made available by the future owner for educational purposes while it is at rest. Our aim is to use the project as a communicative platform for discussion of the complex challenges of our time and as an unconventional location for summits, conferences and think tanks."
