Pangeos - The $8 billion turtle-shaped "terayacht"


This thing is insane. 550m (1,800ft) long and 600m (2,100ft) wide, with accommodation for 60,000 people, and space for airplanes. Not sure why it's called a yacht, though. I thought yachts were supposed to be smaller than ships.

It will probably never get made though.

Don't write it off just yet. It's being spearheaded by the Saudis, and we've already seen that when Arabs throw enough money at an idea nothing's impossible - (think Dubai's Palm Islands and the Burj Khalifa).

reply

I think the Arabs are getting a little wary of chucking billions into dream projects after the failure of those islands.
and compared to this turtle boat bullshit they were a dead cert!

True dat.

Reminds me of Waterworld.

Stick a bunch of turrets around its perimeter to fend off pirates and it certainly does look like it would make an interesting setting for a post-apocalyptic movie.

You don’t want to get sucked under that thing! Lol

Imagine it sinking. 😱😱😱😱

Will better not think about THAT one. ☺
True, it looks somewhat gruesome.

We'll see if the Orcas will like it. 🌀​

There going to need a bigger pod.

reply

Yep, that would be a further step in development if the orcas would cook their prey. ☺

It's a lot nicer than the Principality of Sealand

That's funny! Never heard of this place, but after repairing it from its 2006 fire damage they should have changed its name to........ New Sealand... *ba-dum-tss!*

Put it into international waters and let it become of a den of opulence and crime. Plus I'm sure they'll just dump all their sewage and garbage into the ocean as well.

Jabba the Hutt barge

Well, the people that I pictured there did kind of resemble Jabba.

The perfect portable base for a Bond Villain!

Seriously, this is where SPECTRE trains their henchmen.

It will never be built.
