We’re certain that we’re not the only ones who think of the gorgeous ancient Greek vessels, their simplicity, and their iconic designs when we consider this magnificent concept. This magnificent yacht, named Ardea Alba, is the product of designer Timothy Baldacci’s vivid imagination. It resembles a futuristic vessel evocative of ancient times.

This concept for a superyacht is so attractive that it gained its designer a spot among the top six finalists in the Young Designer of the Year competition. The modern and exquisite 80-meter vessel has a low profile that is irresistible from any angle, but if you ask us, its limousine tender, which can accommodate up to eight passengers, is even more alluring.

Ardea Alba is the Latin name for the Great Egret, and as you might assume, Baldacci was inspired by this magnificent bird for his most recent project, incorporating the S-shaped neck of the bird into the exterior profile of the yacht. The magnificent vessel also features numerous glass surfaces that play with natural light and our perception of it, enhancing the overall awe-inspiringness.

The limousine tender has a similar design, allowing passengers to enjoy a safe and comfortable ride in a spectacular, minimalist environment. It began with a bird, but it also has Greek origins, so we’re calling it a success.
