Lexus Working on LY 650 Luxury Yacht

After showing off its design prowess with a one-off boat that never was introduced for consumers, Lexus has decided to get into pleasureboating with the Lexus LY 650 yacht.

 
Bearing the most contemporary expression of Lexus design language, L-finesse, applied beyond the world of automobiles, the production LY 650 picks up where the Lexus Sport Yacht Concept left off.
 
Encouraged by the robust public interest in the Lexus Sport Yacht Concept, a follow-up maritime effort was fueled by Executive Vice President Shigeki Tomoyama’s desire to, “present a dream-like vision of the luxury lifestyle; one where the Lexus Yacht expands the potential of Lexus mobility to the ocean.”  Making this vision a reality, Marquis-Larson Boat Group was selected to build, sell and service the next Lexus yacht based on its involvement with bringing the Lexus Sport Yacht Concept to life.
 
Several features from the 42-foot concept boat have made their way onto the LY 650. Measuring 65 feet in overall length with a 19-foot beam, the Lexus yacht has a strong, pronounced bow, curved deck accents and accentuated aft curves.

The first completed Lexus LY 650 is expected to be finished in the second half of 2019 and will make its global debut late in the year.
