Meet the Futuristic Trimaran Concept, the High-Tech Vessel That Resembles the ‘Star Trek’ Enterprise on Water

With his most recent trimaran design, Anthony Glasson is venturing into uncharted territory.

M51 Concepts

The disruptive designer who leads M51 Concepts has just unveiled a new 275-foot vessel modeled after the fictional starship from the popular Star Trek franchise. However, it wasn’t until Enterprise was completed that the designer could see his inspiration plainly.

“I had been watching the first season of Star Trek and unknowingly designed a yacht that resembles the original Enterprise,” Glasson explained in a statement.

The courtyard

The hull shape was chosen for a completely distinct purpose: functionality. The designer desired to integrate a “courtyard” and thus required the characteristically wide beam of a trimaran. This unique space is located on the sundeck and is fully enclosed to shield you from the elements but has an open roof to let in sunlight. You will find a hot fountain, a bar, and comfortable sofas forward, followed by a full fitness center and a day lounge aft. A central, circular elevator that services all platforms provides access to the courtyard.

Beginning on the uppermost level, the bridge deck is reserved for the personnel but also contains an owner’s office and day lounge. The upper deck features the open-plan main lounge, a bar, and a dining room with panoramic views, whereas the main deck has a beach club, a hot tub, and the remaining spacious living accommodations.

The main lounge

As for accommodations, Enterprise has a full-beam owner’s suite and seven adaptable visitor cabins that can accommodate a total of 12 passengers. She features an expansive forward deck with a settee, an alfresco dining area, and a third hot tub, providing ample space for outdoor relaxation.

In addition, Glasson asserts that the all-aluminum multihull has numerous advantages over monohulls of comparable length and capacity. You can anticipate using approximately 30 percent less fuel while at sea. Admiral Kirk would be pleased.
