A few billionaires who are obsessed with health and love the ocean may finally be able go wild in nature.

A German design firm released a concept model for a zero-emission superyacht equipped with a huge greenhouse, vegetable garden, and a massive greenhouse.

The ship will be called the VY.01, and it will measure 110m in length. It was designed by Berlin-based 3deluxe design studio. They called it a paradisiacal biological tope’.

The superyacht will be powered with liquid hydrogen. This should give billionaires who are passionate about growing their own fruit or veg the opportunity to do so while enjoying a life of luxury at sea.

Instead of using soil for plants, the ship will have hydroponic sources. This means that the ship can grow flora with aqueous mineral nutrients. 

A seawater desalination system powered by zero-carbon solar panels will allow the vessel to remove salt from water for the greenhouse’s plants.

It will include a saltwater swimming area, a glazed roof, and open sides that can be closed during severe weather or to increase speed.

Although the ship’s construction would consume a lot resources, the designers stated that they hoped its owner would make it a learning center for those who aren’t enjoying the boat.
