Lexus first toyed with the idea of a luxury yacht back in 2017 — and now, the automaker has made its first foray into the nautical world with the LY 650 yacht. The luxurious 65-foot boat was unveiled at an event in Boca Raton, Florida. With its sleek, unmistakably Lexus design, it’s no surprise that this yacht commands a cool $3.6 million. Even if you can’t afford the price tag, it doesn’t cost a dime to learn more about this upscale vessel.

Lexus is known for its luxury automobiles, so it’s only natural that the brand teamed up with Nuvolari Lenard, an Italian yacht design studio. Together, these companies crafted a sleek, 65-foot-long floating mansion, complete with sport lines, metallic accents, and a stylish two-tone color scheme. It’s just as elegant on the inside, too — the cabin boasts white leather sofas and two Lexus-emblazoned captain seats. It can comfortably sleep up to six people in its three bedrooms, each with a private shower. You can also opt for an available Mark Levinson Surround Sound System, which offers concert-quality sound to keep your seafaring crew entertained.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Lexus without offering an exceptional driving experience. Its powertrain includes twin Volvo Penta IPS engines integrated with a unique underwater-hull shape, engineered to be stable, aquadynamic, and maneuverable. Its LY-Link technology displays vital information regarding the vessel’s location, and can deliver abnormality alerts via text message. It can even let you control the yacht’s air conditioning and lights right from your smartphone. Plus, its wealth of pilot-assisting functions, like joystick control and fixed-point position-holding at sea, ensures smooth sailing.
