Several ideas from the 42-foot concept have made their way onto the LY 650.
Lexus has dabbled in the realms of culinary, design, film what it claims are alternative opportunities to interact with the brand. As Lexus International President, Yoshihiro Sawa’s claims as his vision of Lexus as a brand that, “explores new ways to deliver innovative and amazing experiences for our guests.”
Now, Lexus returns to the water with its next expression of a Lexus yacht in the form of the LY 650. Said to be the most contemporary expression of Lexus design language, L-finesse, applied beyond the world of automobiles, the production LY 650 picks up where a Lexus Sport Yacht Concept left off This one floats…
What? No putting green?
Marquis-Larson Craftspeople
Encouraged by some interest in the Lexus Sport Yacht Concept, a follow-up maritime effort was fueled by Executive Vice President; Shigeki Tomoyama’s desire to, “present a dream-like vision of the luxury lifestyle; one where the Lexus Yacht expands the potential of Lexus mobility to the ocean.” Ah, but Lexus knows little about building expensive yachts.
Enter the Marquis-Larson Boat Group, which was hired to build, sell and service the next Lexus yacht based on their extensive experience with custom boat building and their proven capability, confirmed by their work bringing the Lexus Sport Yacht Concept to production.
Based in Pulaski, WI, Marquis-Larson workers are proficient in their roles, many of whom have been with the company for 30 years.
Several ideas from the 42-foot concept have made their way onto the LY 650. Measuring 65 feet in overall length with a 19-foot beam, the newest Lexus yacht has a strong, pronounced bow – the nautical equivalent of the infamous Lexus Snout – curved deck accents and aft hips. Viewed profile, the rise and fall of the yacht’s Lexus roofline flows into rising, broad hips of the rear section.
The first completed Lexus LY 650 is expected to be finished in the second half of 2019 and will make its global debut late in the year. Parties interested spending lots of money or in gathering additional information of a Lexus LY 650, should hail Matthew Vetzner, Vice President of Marketing, Marquis-Larson Boat Group, +1 920.822.3214, mvetzner@marquis-larson.com
