Schöpfer Yachts is a busy firm. First, they brought out the Oculus 250-foot super yacht and had the world drop its jaw. And now they have unveiled a gorgeous new second design by the name of Infintas. Presented as their flagship design, this 300-foot vessel is the baby of designer E. Kevin Schopfer along with Sparkman Stephens of Naval Architects.
We hear that the Oculus drew it’s inspiration from an oceanic fish, on the other hand, the Infintas is influenced the symbol of infinity that gets highlighted in the yacht’s elevation. This very infinity loop has the stern all carved out and the mid section constructed in the elliptical shape. A central structural spine holds the loop intact.

The concept of whaling may lead to heated disputes between different countries and animal rights activists. It is as yet unclear to me on which side of the battle this massive luxury yacht modelled after a whale is fighting on.
The Oculus designed by E. Kevin Schöpfer is a massive luxury yacht stretching to 250 feet in length. The Oculus is indeed meant for only an elite group since it can accommodate only 12 guests at a time. It includes a main salon, cylindrical dining room, central stair and elevator tube with 12 foot ceilings in a design that can blow your mind off. Extravagantly done, the interior decor reeks of comfort beyond luxury. The concept yacht can hit speeds of 25 knots but putting the decadently rich design aside, the most fascinating aspect of the Oculus is the fact that the backside of the yacht can open up resembling the hungry jaws of a whale.
