High-Tech Living on the High Seas – Mansion Global

Tired of land-based luxury living?

Wish you could take all the comforts and conveniences of home to travel upon the waves?

Well, youre in luck. Weve rounded-up a sampling of sea-faring estates that will have you traveling the world without sacrificing any of the luxurious, and connected, lifestyle to which youve become accustomed.

For the high-end apartment owner who appreciates versatility and doing a lot with little space, there is the EVO 43, from Evo Yachts.

Think of it like a Transformerbut instead of shifting into some battle-ready robot, this 43-foot masterpiece morphs into a number on environs ideal for the idle rich.

What begins as a minimalist motorboat, seamlessly slicing the waves, can easily be transformed into a sun deck, complete with built-in seating, diving board, step ladder and 40% more useable space, as soon as you find a suitable swimming spot.

Best of all these on-the-fly formations take place with just the touch of a button on your accompanying smartphone app.

The EVO 43 also features two lower-level cabin spaces (including one that converts from a dinette into a bedroom) so that after a day of sunning and soaking you can easily fall into saltwater-encrusted slumber.

Theres a lot to love about the Majesty 155. The stylish and expansive living spaces, for example. Or the walls of windows the allow for ample natural light. Or the multiple exterior lounging terraces and water features.

But where the 156-foot superyacht really shines is with its award winning smart home integration system.

Spread throughout the Majesty 155 are a series of strategically placed on-wall monitors, powered by Savant Control. Owners can use these monitors to control certain features you might expect, like the ships lighting or audio/visual entertainment, and one which might surprise you: the ships navigation.

Yes, you can drive the Majesty 155 from anywhere on the boat. Quite literally, because even if you are not near an on-wall monitor, you can access the the Savant Control via your smart tablet and steer your superyacht to open waters. Just make sure you dont hit an iceberg because you were too busy playing Angry Birds.

If youd rather let your staff handle the driving while you focus on more light-hearted fare, every cabin in the vessel includes a 40- or 60-inch HD television, equipped with Apple TV, Bluetooth and AirPlay, letting you stream any of your media to the screen.

If youre searching for the peak of superyacht splendor, a ship that would make Poseidon himself blush, then look no further than the Galactica Super Nova.

This massive floating mansion clocks in at 229 feet in length, with 3,842 square feet of deck space spread across four levelsand is replete with all manner of amenities designed to thrill the affluent.

The Super Nova includes some of the versatility displayed by the EVO 43but on a much grander scale. The bridge deck can alternatively serve as a sunbathing space, outdoor movie theater or helipad.

The main deck aft features a 19-foot infinity pool, which includes a glass-panelled bottom as well as lighting features and a waterproof sound system that can be set in sync to bring a strobing club atmosphere to your daily swim.

If water-adjacent (rather than water-enveloped) partying is more your style, the Super Novas built-in beach club features a number of LED light clusters that can be controlled via your iPadsync them with music for a more celebratory scene, or pick a more mellow lighting scheme, perhaps if you need to nap off the previous nights activities.

But the Super Novas brilliance is not just borne out in style. It has some substance too. Its revolutionary Fast Displacement Hull Form reduces resistance by up to 20%, while a central booster jet built by Rolls Royce gives the ship an added layer of agility.
