Zambezi Queen, Five-Star River Boat Hotel


The
Zambezi Queen, a new 150-foot-long river boat owned by Tony Stern, is a “five-star floating boutique hotel.” It has been designed to provide all modern amenities to the passengers with minimum impact on the environment. The boat offers a luxurious new way to explore the Chobe River in Botswana, which runs through the Chobe National Park.

The luxurious boat is both luxurious and green as it is equipped with solar water heater and uses jet propulsion instead of conventional propellers for better fuel economy. Moreover, the boat doesn’t have any air-conditioners to save on precious energy. All of its 14 suites are appointed with private balconies, modern colonial-style décor and plenty of mosquito netting.

Designers Christian Gumpold and Christopher Gloning are the masterminds of the sleek, fast, and luxurious Sentori 58R Flybridge Motor Yacht.
The exterior design is aerodynamically strong as it is in all the sports cars, so one can say that it’s the designer among yacht.

At the interior, there are different levels interconnected by stairs, several rooms including a guest room which can be linked with the state room, but you can also turn it into an office if you’re not planning to have any guests. Well, we don’t know when this concept will be available or even if it’s ever going to be built. One thing is for sure, the Sentori 58R will cost you a lot.
