An incredible yacht that looks like a floating bird could be the future of luxury vessels.

Wakinyan, a 130-metre-long (426 feet) trimaran shaped like a "floating bird", has a 26m beam and total width of 38 meters.

The vessel boasts plenty of natural light thanks to its glass decks and some of its key features include a pool and a spa.

Turkish yacht designer Aras Kazar said the yacht's name is the Lakota word for "thunder".

He said: "The word is usually translated as 'Thunder Spirits', 'Thunder Beings', or 'Thunder Birds'."

Interiors feature five guest cabins, one primary suite, crew cabins and a spa.

The yacht has been equipped with electric and hydrofoil technology and can reach impressive top speed of 32 knots.

Describing the yacht, Aras explained: "This floating bird on the water is 130 metres long. I followed my sleek line on this project.

"The full glass decks provide almost 360 views with lots of natural light for the interior.

"The interior design follows the soft, gentle, cloudy feeling of the exterior.

"Wakinyan is designed to make you feel calm and relaxed, either when you are enjoying it from the inside or just looking at it from outside."

Guests can enjoy a pool on the aft, a spa inside, as well as five "soft, comfy, cloudy" bedrooms and one master bedroom.

Wakinyan is equipped with all-electric and hydrofoil technology that would reach a maximum speed of 32 knots.

"It is not one of those boring, slow superyachts," added Aras.

The designer said Wakinyan is at a "concept level" at the current time, but could go into production if an investor is found.
