This 358-Foot Megayacht Offers a Glimpse into the 1980s Vision of the Future



The new superyacht concept by Enzo Manca combines the past and future of marine design in an exquisite manner.

The 358-foot Juno, which was given its name in honor of classic vessels from the 1980s, is outfitted with cutting-edge technology. The aluminum vessel, according to the Italian designer, has pointed, futuristic lines and a long, slender bow that is “reminiscent of some renowned yachts from bygone eras.”

Aboard, six expansive platforms provide sufficient space for socializing and relaxation. The living quarters feature a fusion of contemporary furnishings and materials with nostalgic elements reminiscent of the enchanting aesthetic of the 1980s. The main salon features enormous panoramic windows, an upscale bar, and plush lounges, which contribute to its moniker as “an oasis of luxury.” In other areas, the accommodations are sufficiently roomy to accommodate 16 passengers and 36 crew members.

Undoubtedly, the most desirable lodging option is the proprietor’s suite. Situated on the fourth deck, the cabin serves as both a private living and sleeping area. A piano is also available for those who wish to practice plucking the ivories.

The beach club at the aft is divided into two levels. The upper section features an expansive sundeck and a swimming pool that can accommodate fifteen guests, whereas the lower section features a beach club and a bar. As is the case with the majority of contemporary vessels, fold-out terraces provide direct access to the water from the stern. In addition, a helipad is located in the bow to facilitate air travel over and under.

Manca provided no information regarding propulsion; however, this colossus would require a substantial amount of horsepower to propel through the water. The yacht will feature a novel electronic anchoring system, according to the designer, which safeguards the seabed and provides dependable mooring regardless of water depth.

This is not the initial absurd superyacht concept that Manca has proposed. The designer debuted a megayacht in March with the intention of designating it as the official flagship of the United Arab Emirates. Known as UAE One, this 459-foot vessel was conceptualized in conjunction with an unidentified sheikh who desired to establish the country’s official megayacht. Manca undoubtedly possesses an abundance of creativity.
