The Iwana 87m Superyacht celebrates the Year of the Water Dragon


After coming out with an 85m long superyacht British Designer Alex McDiarmid has created another Iwana. This time around, the Superyacht Iwana 87m is 2-meters longer and inspired by the Water Dragon instead. Celebrating the Chinese Year of the Dragon, the yacht’s main structure is shaped like a dragon head, with the decks and communication tower “inspired by the dorsal crests of Dragons and beautiful marine iguanas.” The superstructure features a panoramic roof window running over the yacht and a solar panel system in the ‘Magic Smart Glass’ that lets glass change colors for “privacy, sun/glare protection, and visual entertainment.”
