Dream superyacht, next-generation platform for state-of-the-art science at sea

Iddes Yachts was founded in 2012 with an unlimited passion for the ocean as a means of life, adventure, and exploration through yachting and design

Iván Salas Jefferson, Founder, and Naval Architect has worked for over two decades leading superyacht design and construction projects – supporting owners in the creation of their visions and offering the right tools, knowledge, and inspiration to successfully build their dream superyachts

The result is a collaborative, next-generation platform for state-of-the-art science at sea. Our radical design – iconic, intelligent, aesthetically-pleasing – is intentional. It’s a 300-metre fabrication of the future. The 13-storey Science Sphere and cantilevered Observation Deck are the most obvious and eye-catching examples

A nuclear-powered gigayacht longer than the Titanic, with 22 state-of-the art laboratories and a 13-story “science sphere,”. Earth 300 is actually a revolutionary exploration vessel designed to investigate climate change and other challenges that face our planet. The 300-meter vessel has a radically aerodynamic look. It’s been envisioned as an “extreme technology platform,” incorporating robotics, AI, and quantum computing to attract the best and brightest minds from a wealth of fields.

Expected to launch in 2025, Earth 300 will have room for a complement of 160 scientists from a variety of disciplines, as well as 165 crew members and dozens of experts-in-residences and student researchers. There will also be spots for 40 VIP guests, who will pay $3 million each for the privilege.

As you would expect from vessel charged with studying the ocean, Earth 300 is designed for emissions-free sailing. The vessel will reportedly be powered by nuclear tech known as molten salt reactors (MSRs). These mini-nukes are said to provide sustainable, clean energy and may be cheaper than other types of propulsion. Research on MSRs stalled in the 1970s, though the power source has made something of a comeback in recent years.

“The oceans are dying,” Salas Jefferson told Architectural Digest. “Having been born in Palma de Mallorca, I’ve seen it firsthand in the Mediterranean. Now is the time to reboot, reconnect, and redirect our planet’s destiny. Our oceans keep us—and our planet—alive, and Earth 300’s mission is to protect our oceans and ensure their health for generations to come.” Space may be the future, Salas Jefferson says, but “today, Earth is our only home.
