Paritetboat Looker 350

This yachtish-thing apparently is especially designed for the tourist-industry, the ones that wanna go out and have a look under the surface of the water: blub-blub-tourists so to say. Although it’s always better for your business if your clients, aka the tourists come back to tell others how good it was…Anyway: this floating thing has a veeeeerrrryyyy big underwater bubble window so all those who paid up can have a good look at the underwater world. Unfortunately the designers had a lot of knowledge about underwater bubble hulls but they went totally over the top with everything from the waterline up. As the pictures testify.

those things look like one-eyed flies….on stilts……on the water.

They do a smaller version as well: the Looker 320, but that isn’t any less ugly!

And for the necessary diversity the company also made a catamaran-speedboat-version.

If you are not revolted by the looks of these things and you wanna know more: visit, at your own risk, www.paritetboat.com

I found these via www.yachtblick.de. They did a series about the ugliest yachts of the world: HERE. Unfortunately it is in German but click on the links and you’ll see the pics. Click on the most upper link and you can put in your vote!

    I think you are missing the point of the Patitet Boat,
    it is designed to do a specific task, hall tourist out to the reef
    rapidly and return, It has proven itself over and over again
    as a huge money maker. I think its a fantastic inovation and a great looking boat, I am ordering one.

    Beauty must be in the eye of the beholder, there’s one of these moored at the Marina I’m in, and I see it as one of the most fantastic looking boats ever, sleek, futuristic, logical. Perfect!

    I think that you are either an old fart that like sail boats, jealous because you can`t afford it, or you don’t have the brains to think futuristic.

    How come you are calling ugly so beautifully designed a boat, so revolutionary, dolphin -reminiscent shaped and streamlined? Or is it you have prejudices against Russian manufacturers?
