Now I don’t think you’d be seeing this anytime soon on the Sydney Harbour, not unless they’re filming the new James Bond film. The CODE X yacht concept made in Switzerland is a 47 foot catamaran with a whopping 710hp (twin F1 engines) with all the mod cons, LED touchscreens, solar/hybrid power, a GPS virtual anchor. CODE- X has a refreshing avant garde minimal styling design of angular chrome shape, a glass canopy over its’ deck and solar panels between the catamaran spires. And a really cool name CODE-X! Sorry I can’t stop saying it, it’s just fringing cool!

 The AVANGVARDIA is a concept yacht by Lazzarini design studio, Rome, Italy. This 137 metres (450 ft) Swan shaped mega-yacht is a stunner but it’s not all just looks. Has 5 decks for 60 passengers, can get up to 18 knots with the help of a Rolls Royce engine, now all they need is someone to finance it.
