Pictured: The stunning £70million superyacht that cuts through the water in style – thanks to being shaped like a giant knife

  • According to its designers the 233ft (71m) Unique 71 is designed to penetrate the water ‘like a blade’
  • Worth £70million ($90million), the eye-catching superyacht can sleep up to 12 guests across six cabins
  • Highlights of the vessel include a sky lounge and a water-level dining area that are ideal for ‘crowded events’

Superyachts don’t get much more ‘cutting edge’ than this one.

The stunning £70million ($90million) ‘Unique 71’ has a dramatic bow shaped like a giant knife, with its designers, SkyStyle, revealing that in fact Blade ‘was one of the possible names during the selection’.  

SkyStyle co-founder Lucas Colombo told MailOnline Travel that the 233ft (71m) vessel is designed for ‘comfort at high-speed cruising, penetrating into the air and water masses like a blade’.

Unique 71 has six guest cabins that can sleep up to 12 people. There are also nine crew cabins, meaning the yacht’s owners can be looked after by up to 18 members of staff

Onboard, the four-deck yacht features a sky lounge with a 914-sq-ft (85-sq-m) rooftop.

Another highlight is a spacious water-level dining area at the stern. 

Lucas revealed that these areas lend themselves perfectly to hosting what he calls ‘pretty crowded events’.

The yacht also features a helipad and an open-air swimming pool, as renderings show.

Unique 71’s superstructure and hull are made from aluminum and the vessel is able to reach 30 knots (34mph)

On the accommodation front, Unique 71 has six guest cabins that can sleep up to 12 people. There are also nine crew cabins, meaning the yacht’s owners can be looked after by up to 18 members of staff.

The front of the vessel, meanwhile, has what Lucas calls a ‘hermetical’ design. 

Lucas explains that this area includes several openable side and roof panels ‘but mainly protects the occupants and guarantees the best possible sound and vibration comfort’.

 SkyStyle is currently in discussions with USA-based yacht brokers Denison Yachting to find a buyer for the project
