Take to the High Seas in a Gleaming, Speedy … Lexus?

Back in 2017, Lexus decided it would be funny to tease us with an immaculately imagined Sport Yacht.

It reportedly churned out 950 ponies. It had a 7-inch touchscreen that controlled all on-board systems. It was pewter. And, torturously, it was a one-off.

Here to right that wrong (sort of) is the LY 650, Lexus’s all-new luxury watercraft, and the marque’s fourth “flagship” product (joining the LC coupe, LS sedan and LX luxury SUV). 

While the original Sport Yacht stretched 42 feet, the LY 650 measures 65.5 tip-to-tail. Designed by the Marquis-Larson Boat Group, it’ll sleep six, with access to three staterooms and three heads. While its double-decker setup relatively dwarfs the Sport, it retains that sense of gleaming, full-bodied cool that only a luxury automaker can produce. 

As for how many they’re making? Drumroll … six to eight. But of course, all you (and your hanger-on pals) need is one. 

Find more information on purchasing one here. They launch in the latter half of 2019.
