Luxury boatsmith Glider Yachts has created a performance seacraft that is sure to one-up any other at your yacht club. The Super Sports 18 is an 18-meter luxury boat powered by four motors and constructed with lightweight aluminium. The cockpit is decked out with touch-screen control systems and luxury leather seats in an open cockpit for the captain and four more.

Bringing sci-fi sensibilities to the ocean, this “yacht” is available at a starting price of $1.3 million USD.
