Sail into the future with these stunning super yachts (if you happen to be a billionaire): New designs for superich revealed that feature hybrid power systems and luxury spas

Faster, lighter and more fuel efficient: The Blue Coast 60m Power Trimaran, built by French multihull specialist Coste Design, features luxurious accommodation and excellent vistas with wrap-around windows

From James Bond-style helipads on the bow, to ocean-facing penthouse suites and multiple swimming pools peppering the decks, these futuristic super yachts promise to take luxury sailing up a few knots.

Images of never-before-seen boat concepts, published in Futureyachts, also show how the greater emphasis is set to be placed on energy saving in the nautical world, with hybrid propulsion systems and back-up sails.

One yacht in the pipeline aims at being a luxury boutique hotel for well-heeled travellers. The Y-Club, masterminded by German naval architect Frank Neubelt, is set to be managed by a five-star hotelier, with enough room to carry 36 guests, pampered by 50 crew members.

Another standout vessel is the Adventure 4008, designed by Netherlands-based shipyard Damen. It's pitched as the perfect vessel for outdoor thrill-seekers, with the aft deck carrying all the necessary water toys, including submarines and kayaks. It can also serve as a helipad for incoming copters.

Equally impressive is Project Norse, a sail-assisted exploration vessel with a robust body making it capable of voyaging to both poles through ice and treacherous waters.
