The Ghost is the first 92-foot mass-produced motor yacht with foiling technology to enter the superyacht category. While most yachts have to choose between speed or stability, the Ghost offers both and adds a third element that no one expected: absolute silence. At 40 knots, passengers can talk quietly, move freely and feel no vibrations. The trick is in the underwater wings or foils that lift the hull about two metres above the water when the yacht reaches speed, basically making it fly over the waves like an aeroplane, but at sea, reports Luxury Launches.
This is the Ghost yacht
Designed by Turkish studio Bozca Design and built by the ENATA shipyard in the United Arab Emirates, the Ghost is the first 92-foot mass-produced motor yacht with foiling technology to enter the superyacht category, which starts at 24 metres. The aforementioned website adds that the carbon fibre and titanium structure reaches speeds of over 40 knots with fuel consumption that, at 30 knots, is similar to that of a conventional yacht sailing at 8 knots. The total fuel economy is between 40% and 50% compared to traditional planing yachts. When the foils are deployed, the effective wingspan reaches almost 20 metres, which explains the impressive stability at high speed.
The foils are fully retractable, so in shallow water or at rest, the Ghost behaves like any 92-foot vessel. Timur Bozca, director of Bozca Design, explains that every structural and aesthetic decision is made with intention, without decorative elements, only forms that serve performance, reliability and clarity. The yacht can accommodate between 8 and 10 guests in 3 to 5 cabins and offers 133 square metres of open-plan living space.
The design is minimalist, with no grand pianos or unnecessary salons, but it has everything you need for a complete experience at sea. It includes a beach club at the stern that connects directly to the water and a hidden crane system to quickly deploy a jet ski or tender without breaking the aesthetic. Floor-to-ceiling windows surround the main deck and make it look like a modern villa. The superstructure roof is almost entirely covered by high-efficiency solar panels that generate clean energy. The Ghost was unveiled at the Abu Dhabi International Boat Show, and construction of the first unit is expected to begin in the next 12 to 18 months, with the first launch scheduled for 2029.
