G Quest Superyacht

Designs have been unveiled for a £1 billion superyacht that could be home to a scientists wanting to work in ultra luxury.

The 215-metre G-Quest can be kitted out with an oceanographic laboratory, medical lab or even a small hospital. It is the brainchild of California designer Steve Kozloff. A sizeable 6,500 sq ft aircraft hangar can house two Sikorsky S-92 VIP helicopters, electric VTOL for the ship to shore transport of personnel and various smaller helicopters.

Resupply and transportation of personnel over long distances can be achieved via two Cessna Caravan Seaplanes hangered midship at the waterline. Trips on land are catered for with a garage designated for two SUVs, including one mobile self-contained Nimbl overland exploration vehicle.

For underwater exploration, the garage can accommodate and launch one U-Worx Research submarine.

The G-Quest accommodates 26 guests in full luxury, plus 150 crew that could include doctors, scientists, pilots, nurses, research engineers, and the ship’s operating crew. The 3,000 sq ft owner’s suite is located at the bow with panoramic views and a large private pool. The vessel has a long-range capability of over 20,000 nautical miles.
