In the continuous battle of the mega yachts to be the most extravagant vessel on the seas, it takes a lot to really impress.
While helipads, waterslides, and movie theatres are commonplace additions to the yachts of the super wealthy, a stylish Italian is making waves for being the first to feature a floating drive-in garage.
J'ade, by Ferretti group company CRN, features a hydraulic-operated hatch which can store an eight-metre speedboat without the use of a tender lift.

The internal basin, which holds 18,000 litres of water, floods and empties in just three minutes, enabling the boat (a 27ft Riva Iseo) to enter the yacht without using a crane.
When the speedboat is not stored inside, the basin can also be utilised as an indoor ocean pool, accessible from the lower-deck terrace.


Completed last year, the 60-metre yacht was the star attraction at last week's Monaco Yacht Show, where it was a finalist for the Best Interior award. The brand-new Perini Navi motor yacht Grace E was awarded the prize.
J'ade made it's debut at the annual yacht show last year, and also won the World Yacht Trophy at the 2013 International Boat Show.

The privately-owned yacht was created by Studio Zuccon International Project, and is designed to feel 'at one with the sea'.
The 196-foot vessel can comfortable accommodate 10 guests in four cabins and the owner suite, and 13 crew members. Aside from the impressive 'garage', J'ade also features a gymnasium, hammam room and aquarium.
Across the four decks, materials for the interiors are Canaletto walnut and polished rosewood. The hardwood floors are made of wide Afromosia strips and the cabins and owner suite are fitted with white Tai Ping carpets. There are jade green accents throughout the interior.
Luxury: There are multiple sun lounging areas across the four decks

The centrepiece of the yacht is the central stairwell with a crystal lift. A white Yamaha piano sits in the living area.
‘CRN is experimenting,’ Luca Boldrini, CRN’s sales director told Boat International. 
‘We’re experimenting in design, in sizes, and in features. Each of the yachts in build has special features in development, and we hope the next step will be to mix and match all these new features in one or two new concepts so future owners can not only have a beautiful, seaworthy and safe vessel, but they can have special features that nobody else has. 
'These will not be special features that are just an experiment, but features clients can touch and feel in other vessels under construction or already floating.’
