Ghost Yachts, a Dutch based yacht company, has recently introduced the G180 superyacht. This company worked closely with the Italian based yacht design company named Gloss Design on the project. The unique collaboration has resulted in the beautiful G180 superyacht. Ghost Yachts focused on the areas of engineering and basic technology surrounding the overall build of the water vessel. Gloss Design focused on the exterior and interior style of the luxury yacht. Here, you will learn about the G180 and what it brings to the yachting industry.

The total length of the luxury yacht is an amazing one hundred eighty feet total. This is equivalent to fifty five meters. The unique waterline of the yacht ranks in at one hundred seventy five feet. The beam has a max measurement of thirty feet and the draft measures in at nearly ten feet. The overall displacement of the water vessel is seven hundred ten metric based tons.
The G180 superyacht has a total tonnage of an amazing six hundred sixty nine GT. When it comes to fuel capacity, it can hold up to twenty nine thousand gallons. The fresh water level is an amazing capacity of five thousand and two hundred eighty five gallons. There are two main engines that power this luxury yacht. The first one is identified as the “MTU 12V4000 M70 2X168Okw” and the second is identified as the “MTU 20V4000 M73L 2X3600KW”. There is also a backup generator in place that is referred to as the “2X160KW”.

When evaluating the superstructure of the G180, you will notice that it exhibits a high level of sophistication and innovation as far as the design is concerned. There are unique angles that play to the actual shapes and contours of the water vessel as a whole. The surface and even the design are often referred to as “smooth” by those that are creating the mega yacht and by those that observe the design plans. When Ghost Yachts created the design scheme for the luxury yacht, they ensured that it would be ecologically correct. If you are seeking innovation, style, and clever designs, the Ghost 180 superyacht is likely to be a highly attractive luxury yacht.
