Italy’s Lazzarini develops Amphibious “Crabmaran” Superyacht

While Pacific Island Countries are continually seeking finance to meet the basic needs of their residents through domestic shipping services, a superyacht called the ‘Pagurus’ inspired by a crab has been developed as a solar-powered amphibious catamaran. Featuring a propulsion system including special rotating cylinders that lower to enable it to travel on land, the ‘Crabmaran’ is able to move on sand or mud at up to 30 kmph. Designed by Italy’s Lazzarini, a two-year build time is expected at €24M.
