Inside the Lamborghini Yacht: A 63-Foot Supercar on the Water

Lamborghini, famed for its exotic supercars, has made a splash in the world of yachts. In 2020, Lamborghini announced a partnership with Italy’s superboat specialist, The Italian Sea Group (Tecnomar), to create a limited edition luxury speedboat. The result is the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63 – a 63-foot high-performance powerboat named in honor of Lamborghini’s founding year (1963) and capable of an eye-watering 63 knots top speed. According to Architectural Digest, this collaboration produced a “limited run of luxury yachts” that are making waves in harbors from Miami to Monaco. In this guide, we’ll unpack everything about the Lamborghini yacht: its design, performance, materials, lifestyle appeal, pricing, and more.

The Genesis: From Sant’Agata to the Sea

Lamborghini’s entry into boating might seem sudden, but the brand has long flirted with marine engineering. Lamborghini even built racing boat engines in the past. The modern leap came with the 2019 announcement of a joint project between Automobili Lamborghini and The Italian Sea Group’s Tecnomar brand. Their goal was to bring Lamborghini DNA – performance, design, and passion – onto water. Work on the yacht was led by Lamborghini’s Centro Stile design team, taking inspiration from iconic cars like the Miura, Countach, and the hybrid Sián FKP 37. The official press release calls it a celebration of Lamborghini’s heritage – “the new motor yacht… in a limited edition, designed and built to celebrate the year of Lamborghini’s founding”. Even Lamborghini’s executives acknowledge this is no mere showpiece; it’s meant to reflect the brand’s racing spirit at sea.

According to Lamborghini, “we are proud to see the essence of Lamborghini DNA that today sets out to sail the sea with the same attitude of our super sports cars”. That attitude is immediately visible: the yacht bristles with Lamborghini styling cues and boasts the same raw power Lamborghini fans know from the road.

Design and Innovation

Exterior Styling: Supercar Silhouette on Deck

The exterior of the Tecnomar 63 is deliberately “completely out of any typical nautical scheme,” blending automotive flair with futuristic naval design. From a distance, its sharp lines and dramatic profile look more like a jet or roadster than a classic yacht hull. Lamborghini’s design studio and naval engineers focused on a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette. The hard top canopy is modeled after Lamborghini roadsters, providing both shade and race-car-like performance. Even the bow lights are a nod to concept cars. Aesthetically, the boat heavily references Lamborghini’s past: the sharp corners and wedge shape recall the Countach, and sweeping curves hint at the Miura. Overall it “looks like a Lambo on water”, as one automotive writer put it.

Another standout is the color scheme: the flagship model debuted in “Ater Grey” matte paint (Lamborghini’s signature grey), accented with contrasting details and Italian tricolor fins on the stern. These fins not only display national pride but also emphasize speed. Other available colors follow Lamborghini’s Ad Personam customization palette, meaning buyers can pick any shade or finish reminiscent of the company’s car options.

Exterior Details and Features

• Hexagonal Motifs: Everywhere on the yacht, geometric hexagon patterns appear – in grills, floor panels, seats, and vents – mirroring shapes seen in Lamborghinis. These subtle automotive touches reinforce the supercar vibe.
• Y-Shaped Lights: The forward bow features Y-shaped LED headlights directly taken from the Lamborghini Sián supercar. These futuristic lights give the yacht a distinctive face at night.
• Carbon Fiber Construction: The hull and superstructure make extensive use of carbon fiber (also a hallmark of Lamborghini’s car designs). This not only provides the ultra-light structure needed for speed but also gives the boat a sleek, technical look.
• Cockpit and Helm: The command center resembles a fighter jet. It has two bucket-style helm seats upholstered in Alcantara and leather, adjustable for racing comfort. The steering wheel is a direct sports-car wheel with paddle shifters, and the console has dash screens and twin starter buttons just like a car.
• Lounging Areas: Despite the sporty focus, the bow hosts a large sunpad lounge, and the stern deck (where the engine is) has a roomy seating/entertainment area with sofa, table, and wet bar for guests. The walk-around decks are wide and low-slung, making it easy to move between the bow and cockpit.

Importantly, designers had to make this speedboat seaworthy. The hull uses a special high-performance shape optimized in fluid dynamics simulations. The enclosed cockpit windshield is reinforced (unlike in cars) to withstand ocean spray and airflow at 60+ knots. Yet the overall look remains aggressively low-profile, as if the boat is always on its side skids like a racecar.

Performance and Engineering

The Lamborghini yacht lives up to its brand’s reputation for performance. Its heart is a pair of MAN V12 diesel engines, each producing about 2,000 horsepower. Together they give the 24-ton (about 53,000 lbs) yacht roughly 4,000 hp. According to Goodwood’s review, “with twin MAN V12s churning out 4,000PS (2,983 kW),” the Tecnomar 63 can exceed 60 knots (about 70 mph). Lamborghini touts it as the fastest in the Tecnomar fleet. In practice, captains report a comfortable cruising speed around 40-45 knots (46-52 mph), with full throttling up to 63 knots in ideal conditions.

The power is delivered via surface drives (a type of outdrive that lifts and angles the propellers), which add to the high-speed performance. However, these surface drives require skill at slow speeds: the yacht has a lot of prop wash and torque even at idle, so docking can be a challenge. On the plus side, there is a high-powered bow thruster and joystick control to help close maneuvering in tight marinas. Owners are advised to take formal surface drive training before piloting one of these beasts.

Because Lamborghini’s emphasis is on speed and weight reduction, the Tecnomar 63 qualifies as an “ultralight” yacht: the extensive carbon fiber structure brings the displacement to around 24 tons for 63 feet length. By comparison, a typical traditional 60-ft fibreglass motor yacht might weigh 30–40 tons. This low weight-to-power ratio (around 6 lbs per hp) is even more extreme than some supercars on land.

Acceleration and Handling

Owners report that reaching top speed is a jaw-dropping experience. Under full throttle, the bow quickly lifts, and the yacht picks up speed with surprising smoothness. The controls provide a “supercar-like” sensation – the steering wheel and throttle feel mechanical and precise. Reviewers note that at 40 knots, the ride is extremely stable, with the yacht carving through waves like a speedboat racecar. Passengers often remark that it “feels like a roadster on the water.”

At the dock or low speed, caution is needed. The twins 2,000HP engines have so much power that even in idle gear the hull wants to surge. As one test report explained, even on “dead slow ahead” the yacht wants to blast forward at 8–10 knots. Good rudder command and practice are required when coming alongside. Still, once outside and running, the Tecnomar Lamborghini 63 delivers the “thrilling” and “intense” ride one would expect from Lamborghini’s pedigree.

Materials and Technology

Advanced materials are a key part of the yacht’s appeal. The entire hull and deck structure use carbon fiber composites – similar to the construction of Lamborghini’s carbon-fiber monocoque chassis – to reduce weight without sacrificing strength. Even in the interior and furniture, lightweight materials (like aluminum honeycomb panels and Kevlar) are used. The result is a vessel that is surprisingly light: at 24 tons for 63 feet, it’s roughly half the weight of some comparable-size yachts.

This ultra-light weight helps in performance (acceleration and top speed) but also in fueling economy (relative to power) and maneuvering. Lamborghini engineers aimed to keep the 63-foot beast below 25 tons so it could be categorized as an “ultralight” boat. Special attention was also paid to sound and vibration insulation; though two big V12 diesels roar, the crew cabin and saloon use foam dampening to maintain comfort.

Technological systems onboard are similarly cutting-edge. The navigation suite includes dual Garmin marine displays, digital engine readouts and diagnostics, and even a hydraulic active stabilizer system for reduced roll at speed. Environmental systems match what you’d find in a top megayacht: air-conditioned cabins, LED lighting, stereo entertainment, and even a small wastewater treatment system to comply with marina regulations. In essence, you get supercar thrills without sacrificing the creature comforts of luxury boating.

Interiors and Customization

Cockpit and Interior Features

Step inside the cockpit, and you’d swear you were in a Lamborghini road car — only bigger. The center console sports a high-resolution touchscreen, flanked by aircraft-style toggles and the signature twin red start/stop buttons. The two helm seats are racing-style bucket seats trimmed in leather/Alcantara (patterned with hexagons) and mounted on hydraulic pedestals for height adjustment. Behind them, a compact cabin houses two guest cabins and a small galley/kitchen. One cabin has a double bed, the other has twin berths, each with wardrobes and portholes. A bathroom with shower is forward by the bow. Materials inside mix high-tech and luxury: carbon-fiber panels, polished metal trim, and leather or fine fabric upholstery everywhere.

Customization options are vast through Lamborghini’s “Ad Personam” program adapted for the yacht. Just as with a car, buyers can choose nearly any color scheme, interior finish, or custom stitching. Want Lamborghini orange leather seats and green accents? It can be done. Even bespoke carbon inlays or personalized nameplates are offered. The goal is to match the owner’s taste, whether they want something understated or flamboyantly exotic. In interviews, dealers say most buyers end up customizing floor mats, sunpad cushion covers, or selecting special fabrics – the sky is the limit for personalization.

Custom Colors and Themes

• Paint and Hull Colors: The 63 comes in a palette of single-tone and bi-color schemes. Lamborghini’s official option (Ater Grey) draws most attention, but clients can request any PPG automotive color or even special finishes like matte, satin, or metallic.
• Interior Trim: Options range from black carbon fiber accents to polished aluminium or even brass plating for a vintage touch. Wood veneer is generally avoided due to the sporty focus, but exotic materials like woven carbon or aerospace-grade mesh are common.
• Upholstery: Standard is Alcantara/leather in neutral tones, but owners have gone wild with neon stitching, embossed logos, or semi-transparent materials. Some even spec European sports-car racing seat patterns.

In short, buying a Lamborghini yacht is not a one-size-fits-all. Each unit comes with a specification process as detailed as ordering an Aventador or Sián. The only limit is imagination (and practicality: the boat must remain stable and sea-worthy).

Lifestyle Appeal and Ownership

The Lamborghini yacht is clearly aimed at the ultra-luxury market. Its owners tend to be high-profile individuals who already love speed. For instance, UFC champion Conor McGregor reportedly ordered a Tecnomar 63 early on, showing the crossover appeal to sports stars and celebrities. Having one moored at Monaco or Miami sends a message: you enjoy the finest, fastest machines money can buy.

This exclusivity and performance make the yacht a lifestyle symbol. It fits into luxury-marina culture alongside superyachts and exotic cars. Owners use it for weekend cruises, parties, or simply as a floating status piece. The yacht has a social-media presence of its own (Instagram hashtags by owners and influencers abound), and dealers note that charterers often book it for special events.

However, the Lamborghini yacht is not for casual boaters. Its high speed and handling quirks require an experienced captain and crew. It’s also likely to draw crowds: wherever it docks, it “turns heads” with its Lamborghini badge and aggressive styling. Reviews note that even onlookers comment they’ve never seen a boat quite like it in their harbor. Owners must be prepared for both the adrenaline of speed and the public attention that comes with an “over-the-top” machine.

A Party on the Water? A Cautionary Note

The Lamborghini 63’s party-boat image was illustrated by a viral incident in Miami (May 2025), where one heavily loaded craft sank after taking on water. This high-profile case, while sensational, highlights safety considerations. The official capacity is only 12–16 people, yet dozens were aboard. Lamborghini and Tecnomar stress that these yachts are precision crafts, not floating nightclubs. Proper use means enjoying the speed and luxury responsibly, not overloading the deck.

Even so, the lifestyle appeal remains strong. The boat’s designers actually include a wet bar and lounge that encourage entertainment. Owners often host champagne cruises at up to 50 knots – a level of extravagance usually reserved for Bond movies. After all, driving a Lamborghini on the open ocean is the ultimate thrill.

Pricing and Availability

As a limited-edition luxury item, the Lamborghini yacht comes with a matching price tag. At launch, the base price was about €3.5 million (roughly $3.5–4 million) in 2021. Custom options, VAT, and duties can push that up; a fully loaded model easily tops $4.5 million or more. Each unit is effectively hand-built, so final pricing depends on the spec.

Only 63 units were planned to honor Lamborghini’s founding year. As of 2024, around a dozen have been delivered worldwide. The Italian Sea Group reports that all yachts up to 2024 production were already sold out, and production runs at about one per month. In other words, you can’t just walk in and buy one: there is a waiting list that extends at least a year or more.

Sales have spread globally. According to company releases, of the delivered boats, about eleven are cruising in Europe (often sighted around Sardinia, Monaco, Saint-Tropez) and half a dozen in the U.S. (Florida and California). The yacht is also gaining buyers in the Middle East (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) and even Australia (Sydney, Perth). A key selling point is the boat’s shallow draft, meaning it can be kept in more marinas (Lamborghini specifically noted it handles “shallow waters” well).

Where to Buy or Charter

Tecnomar for Lamborghini yachts are sold through a very limited network of dealers and brokers. Prestige Marine in Miami and dealers in Europe such as Palma or Sardinia handle sales. Occasionally a unit may appear on a broker’s market (YachtWorld lists one at ~$4.4M). Charter is rarer because owners tend to keep them, but some charter companies in Monaco and Dubai have offered occasional bookings for extremely high fees (often exceeding $50,000 per day) as a novelty.

The Tecnomar Lamborghini 63 Models

Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63: This is the flagship and so far the only official model bearing the Lamborghini name. It debuted in 2021 and is 63 feet long. It comes in two floorplans: a two-cabin version (sleeps up to 4 guests) and a more luxurious one-cabin owner version. Otherwise, all technical specs are the same.

Tech specifications (for Tecnomar 63):

• Length: 19.2 meters (63 feet)
• Beam (width): ~5.8 meters (19 ft)
• Engines: 2 × MAN V12-2000 (4000 hp total)
• Speed: 63 knots max (approx. 72 mph), 40-45 kn cruise
• Weight: ~24 metric tons (ultralight class)
• Crew: 2 (captain and first mate)
• Guests: up to 4 (two cabins version)

Past or concept models: Before the Tecnomar 63, Lamborghini itself never sold a boat to the public. There were rumblings about concept speedboats or branded tenders, but nothing came to market under Lamboghini’s own badge. Other companies (Novurania, Fuoriserie, etc.) have made Lamborghini-inspired boats, but none officially licensed by Lamborghini. The 63 is truly Lamborghini’s first direct entry.

Limited Editions and Commemoratives

Tecnomar also released special liveries and limited editions. For example, the first hull (Hull #1) was painted in Matte Grey and named “Series 1” in Ferrari Red accents. There have been discussions of “Ad Personam One-Off” editions for extremely wealthy clients, but details remain private. All Tecnomar 63 yachts bear a numbered plaque under the bow step (“1 of 63”) and Lamborghini’s golden bull logo on each side.

Owner Experience: A Review-Style Look

What is it actually like to own or see a Lamborghini yacht? Reviewers and owners say it combines the outrageousness of owning a supercar with the relaxation of yachting. When approaching the boat, guests immediately notice the low, wide stance and the bull’s head logo on the bow.

Stepping aboard, one is struck by the juxtaposition: high-tech steering and throttle consoles next to cozy sun lounges. The leather and carbon-fiber trim give it a sports-car feel. One owner mentioned that his colleagues often look for a car key, only to realize they need the boat’s ignition panel – the experience is that convincing.

At the wheel (figuratively), the captain gets into a padded, supportive seat and starts the twin V12s with two big red buttons. In the cockpit, the engine rumble vibrates through your body like being inside a jet. As one review put it, it “feels like you’re in a supercar with your dash as well”. Unlike cars, you look out over open water, but the excitement is similar to a sports car launch.

On the open water, the speed is exhilarating: punch the throttles, and the yacht surges forward, leaving a huge rooster-tail of spray. The hull stays surprisingly flat, and passengers sometimes exclaim it’s even more exciting than they expected. According to YachtBuyer’s test, “there is the added excitement of having to wrestle with surface drives”, making for an adventurous ride. Many owners say the Lambo 63 yacht is the “fastest thing they’ve ever driven” (aside from cars).

That said, comfort is not completely sacrificed. The ride at cruising speed is smooth, and the cabin amenities (climate control, nice bedding, etc.) are just like any high-end motor yacht. But with the engine room so close, it is louder and more visceral than your typical megayacht.

One consistent theme from reviews: attention everywhere it goes. As one test report notes, “The Lambo turns heads wherever it goes.” Even experienced sailors are not used to people snapping photos of a small yacht. It’s as much a media event as a boat launch.

Conclusion

In summary, the Lamborghini Tecnomar 63 yacht is an ambitious melding of automotive and marine engineering. It takes Lamborghini’s trademark themes – dramatic design, carbon-fiber structure, outrageous horsepower – and adapts them to a boat. For buyers in the market for extravagance, it offers a floating statement piece: a chance to own the most automotive-inspired yacht in the world. According to Architectural Digest, this “high-end boat” is just the latest example of automakers branching into marine luxury. And as one reviewer noted, it truly “behaves like a roadster on the water,” capturing that rare feeling of piloting a Ferrari-style machine across the waves.

However, this experience comes at a very steep price and with significant responsibility. With only a handful built so far and full bookings well into the future, the Lamborghini yacht remains as rare as the cars themselves. Prospective owners must be ready for the learning curve of handling 63 knots and for strict safety. But for those who seek the ultimate thrill – driving a supercar on the sea – the Tecnomar Lamborghini 63 delivers exactly that. It’s a striking example of how a legendary car brand can set sail and still feel unmistakably like a Lamborghini.
