Servo Yachts shipyard in California introduced a groundbreaking concept of an exceptionally stable yacht at the end of last year, designed to be unaffected by wave movements and thereby preventing seasickness among its passengers. A glimpse at the company’s website tells the story.
The Martini 7.0 is a catamaran stabilized by hydraulic systems that keep it in a stable horizontal position over time, regardless of wave height. The yacht, which is fifty meters long, is constructed from carbon fiber foam. When the sea is calm, the vessel’s body rests on the skis; and when the sea becomes rough, four pneumatic spring mechanisms lift the vessel’s body above the skis. David Healy, the shipyard owner who conceived the idea for the vessel’s horizontal stabilization, says the unique mechanism opens up the possibility for people who have previously avoided sailing in the open sea.
The yacht’s upper deck, spanning 430 square meters, features a helipad, swimming pool, jacuzzi, sunbathing areas, and a lounge with a dining table. The sleeping quarters are located on the main deck and can accommodate up to ten guests. The owner’s suite includes a bedroom, private spa, and office. Crew quarters are situated on the lower deck, adjacent to a sea-accessible storage area designed to house a speedboat, jet skis, and diving equipment.
There is also a smaller model of the yacht, named Martini 6.0, which is 45 meters long and constructed from composite materials.
Bottom line: A perfect place to sip a martini.
