Lexus LY 650 Luxury Yacht Priced at $3.5 Million

Posted by Kevin on September 28th, 2018

Milwaukee TV news TMJ4 has a new feature on the Marquis-Larson Boat Group, the company responsible for building the new Lexus 65-foot LY 650 luxury yacht:

There’s also a further interview with Josh Delforge, Marquis-Larson’s Vice President of Design & Engineering:

Beyond the early look at the new yacht, the biggest takeaway from the video is the price tag — Delforge ballparks the LY 650 at roughly $3.5 million USD, depending on options.

Ah, latest story from few days on this is that they will be producing it in 2019, but different - larger sport yacht thats around 35ft if I remember.

Also, Toyota has been doing this for a long time, and point is that their engines are really efficient compared to the regular marine ones, but it also makes them very expensive.

Well, moderators, I wasn't sure where to post this one, since this is an auto forum...but I figure the Garage threads are as good a place as any. Lexus has unveiled a sport-boat powered by two Lexus V8s.
Actually, the Lexus Yacht Concept has had its own thread in the Lexus Lounge since January 2017, when it was unveiled in Miami, Florida, with Krew and Mikeavelli in attendance. It also spawned a trio of News articles, all of which have been part of this thread into which I merged your posts.

This article from Daily Kanban is interesting:

Don’t expect rows of Lexus yachts floating out of an assembly line. Annual industry volume for 60+ft pleasure boats is a few hundred. They go for a few million on up. They also are alarmingly cyclical. The Wall Street tycoon who has everything buys boat of that size only once other avenues of spending money have been exhausted. Once the stock market turns, the boats flood Boattrader.com. Boats of that size usually have a crew. Many pleasure boat makers have been bankrupt at some point.

“The main goal is not the number of boats,” said Tomoyama, but the enhancement of the brand. Other carmakers have similar ideas. There is an Aston Martin speedboat, there is a wet Bugatti, and there is a race boat made for Daimler’s performance-offshoot AMG.

The Champagne Gold color chosen for the Lexus yatch concept last year now makes sense with the context of the LF-1 concept. #elevate

Just wanted to take the time to point out and laugh at this post.

Great effort by Lexus. My gut feeling was that they were going to make something out of the concept and I'm happy that they are making it even bigger, wow!
