Orca-Inspired Superyacht Concept Kills It When It Comes to Design and Luxury

What we have in the cover photo above is known as the DreamScape superyacht. It springs from the mind of FanChung Meng, a design director from Taipei City, Taiwan. As you have probably guessed, it is inspired by the Orca, also known as the ‘Killer Whale’.

Now, like any good concept, this one includes several design aspects worth mentioning. Aside from the usual bits we can see, we sometimes find technological aspects too. And yes, we have one or two technological ideas as well but we’ll get to that later on.

We have no information as to what sort of materials went into the hull design, but we do know that the hull length comes in at 213 feet (65 meters). This doesn’t make it a huge vessel, so we won’t see any helipad or anything like that. Still, there’s definitely room for you to do nothing on board.

One of the aspects that sets this vessel apart from others is the bow shape. Unlike real ships, the bow of the Dream is wide and flat. This doesn’t make it the fastest boat on waters, but it does offer a perfect platform for partying as there’s plenty of room.

The hull color scheme is the classic white with black glass; not all the black paneling we see is glass, though. The large black band that circles the hull and extends into the superstructure aft is completely covered in photovoltaic cells. Since shaping solar panels like this is quite difficult, what the designer has done is use ‘paint on’ solar panels. Imagine taking your car into the shop for a new coat of paint. That's exactly what happened here too, only with solar panel flakes that somehow work some magic and produce an electrical current.

Because of its relatively small size, we also see a smaller superstructure. But it’s only small as far as the height is concerned. If we analyze its width, we find enough deck space as on a superstructure with more than three or four levels. As always, the top deck is specifically reserved for lounging and sunbathing. We find 8 lounge beds and a long table at the center of the deck, while an opening in the floor reveals a staircase heading down to the decks below.

We don’t have any details regarding the interior because the main focus of the design was on the generous outdoor spaces. About that, aft is really where the vessel seems to shine through. The hull design allows for large balconies that overlook the party-hubs below. Here we also find large open spaces that allow for whatever furnishings you’d like, plus two stairwells that lead down to a hot tub.

That’s all we see. There is a space near the beach deck that looks like it would lead to a garage underneath the hot tub, but this is just speculation. But the exterior design is a one-of-a-kind look that we haven’t seen until now. We're quite sure someone will take some inspiration from it.
