Alright, my fellow sea aficionados and electric sceptics! I have a doozy for you. Gather around as I introduce you to a yacht - well, if you can even call it that. It's more like someone stole the idea of a greenhouse, slapped it onto two catamaran hulls, and decided, "You know what the sea needs? More reflections!" So let's talk about the “This Is It” from Tecnomar, a boat that’s frankly more window than wall. 

This magnificent marvel has over 6,450 sq ft (600 square meters) of glass. Yes, you heard me right! That’s like owning a floating palace made of, well, glass. Can you imagine the window-cleaning bills? With so much glass, I fear for the fish; they'll be constantly bumping into it thinking they've found a new way into the skies. Now, I've written about cars, motorcycles, boats, and planes, and let me tell you, none of them have dared to show off this much glass.

The Italian Sea Group (TISG), the umbrella that shades Tecnomar from the sun, claims this project was all about challenging the norms. I mean, come on! We're talking about an aluminum structure that somehow doesn’t buckle under 6,450 sq ft of glass! When inside, you're promised spectacular sea views from every nook and cranny. They might as well have called it the floating IMAX.

Now, hold onto your captain’s hat! This 143-ft (43.5-m) "glass factory" not only boasts of endless views but also has an owner's suite that seems to be conceived during a dreamy session of ‘I wonder if…’. Skylights? Check. Tall, rear-facing windows? Check. A terrace where you can soak in the briny breeze? Check. And just when you think they’ve thrown everything, including the kitchen sink in there, they give you a vertical garden next door. Because nothing says “I'm one with the sea” like a potted plant, right?

Inside the This Is It, the designers clearly went on a shopping spree. With six cabins, a massage room (I kid you not), and a galley decked out with switchable privacy glass (because apparently, regular curtains are too mainstream), it’s a floating luxury. And the materials? We're talking gold, bronze, titanium, carbon, oak, teak, marble, leather, and Alcantara. Whew! It's like they raided a luxury car and an upscale Italian villa, mashed them together, and threw them onto a boat.

Now, before I sound like a salty sea dog, let's touch on the positives. To their credit, TISG claims that the This Is It motor catamaran has a system in place to reduce NOx emissions, aligning it with IMO Tier III requirements. Plus, they just showcased this behemoth at the Monaco Yacht Show, and I can only imagine the gasps and dropped martinis.

If you're in the market for something that says, "I appreciate the ocean, but I also want it to know I have a lot of money," this yacht is for you. If not, just keep a lookout for a gleaming glass blur on the horizon and wave from your puny non-glass boat. Happy sailing!
