With a length of 137.5 m and a weight of about 5,000 tons, Project Neptune is a large yacht, Interesting Engineering reported on June 26. Such superyachts often do not please environmentalists. Their massive size means they consume a lot of fuel and produce large amounts of emissions. However, the new propulsion system will ensure that Project Neptune is not opposed by environmentalists when running at sea.

The exterior of the yacht is made from traditional aluminum. There is an infinity pool at the stern and another for passengers on the upper deck. In particular, the yacht is equipped with two landing pads for helicopters. The first landing zone is located on the top deck, allowing passengers to disembark the yacht even when it is at sea. The second larger landing area, located on the foredeck, is probably reserved for the yacht's owner.

Project Neptune has 4 rooms with private balconies on the lower floors and 6 luxury rooms, accommodating a total of 22 passengers. A crew of 50 will operate the ship and attend to the needs of passengers, including a doctor and a nurse. There is also a room on the ship that can be used as a clinic when needed. In addition, the ship also has space for accompanying vehicles such as jet skis, kayaks, scuba diving canoes, kite surfing, diving equipment, and fishing equipment.

In addition to its luxurious design and many amenities, Project Neptune also has the special feature of running on hydrogen, emitting pure water instead of substances harmful to the environment. Marco Ferrari also equipped Project Neptune with glass panels combined with thermal insulation panels to save energy for air conditioning equipment.
