You think you have a sweet speed boat? Great. Now you don’t. At least not with this beautiful monster on the waters. From the same guys that bring you the 911 GT3 RS, Porsche design mashed up with Fearless Yachts to create the Fearless 28. What is the Fearless 28 you may ask? Well according to the guys over at Porsche design it’s:
“A luxury speed boat that can be defined as the perfect fusion of performance and aesthetics.”
If by performance and aesthetics you mean a 525hp Viper power plant with a top speed of more than 80 mph and curves like ’she got it from her momma,’ then yes, this is a luxury speed boat. For those of you that haven’t hauled ass across open waters, then first I feel sorry for you. But either way, you’ll need to be fearless yourself to top out the Fearless 28.

Cost: $300,000 @ Fearless Yachts by Porsche Design

Don’t call it a speedboat, but could you imagine yourself on the lake being pulled by this? It’s doubtful that the boat even has a tow-rope latch but it sure would be an experience, so long as it didn’t rip your arms off.
There’s really not much further way to explain this thing other than it has THREE 5,600 Horsepower engines and will take your 6 guests + 6 crew members to 60 knots in Lazzerini & Pickering swaddled joy.
Oh, and yes - this is the boat some of you may recognize from the movie, “The Island”
Review on Power & Motoryacht
What this means to you: Probably not designed for a little family jaunt - unless your last name starts with ‘Gat’ and ends with ‘es’. But it sure would look good behind that Ford F-450 Super Duty when you show up at your child’s school lake party.
Cost: $16.5 million | Price as shown: $24.5 million (gulp)
