Measuring 204 metres in length, the Colossea superyacht is a floating platform for an airship that can reach speeds of up to 167 km/h. Pierpaolo Lazzarini's project helps transport passengers in areas that are difficult for yachts to reach.

Italian designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini presents the 204-meter superyacht Colossea, a floating platform for a detachable airship. By D.Boom, ozziesmall.

The structure above the yacht has a landing pad designed to fit the shape of the balloon, making it easy to take off and land. According to D.Boom, ozziesmall.

Colossea is designed with modern materials and technology. The airship is made of carbon fiber and moves thanks to 8 electric propulsion engines. According to D.Boom, ozziesmall.

The Colossea superyacht can accommodate 44 passengers and 20 crew members. Meanwhile, the airship has a payload of 10,000 kg, can carry 24 passengers and 10 crew members. According to D.Boom, ozziesmall.

Not only can it transport passengers in areas that are difficult for superyachts to access, it could also become a primary means of transportation for long periods of time. According to D.Boom, ozziesmall.

Inside the Colossea's airship are 22 separate compartments that house components such as liquid hydrogen tanks, batteries, cabins, and various other internal structures. According to D.Boom, ozziesmall.

Liquid hydrogen is pumped into the chambers to adjust the required weight balance and also serves as a hydrogen reserve in case of gas loss. According to D.Boom, ozziesmall.

The top of the balloon is covered in solar panels, but its engine runs on liquid hydrogen and is capable of reaching a top speed of 100 mph. According to D.Boom, ozziesmall.

Meanwhile, the superyacht's propulsion comes from four HTS engines with a top speed of 41 km/h. According to D.Boom, ozziesmall.

The yacht could use the propellers of the balloon to gain support and move more efficiently. According to D.Boom, ozziesmall.
