A DUTCH shipyard has unveiled designs for a "futuristic" superyacht that could rival any luxury penthouse apartment.

Designed by Felix Chapman-Sheath, of CS Yacht Design, the vessel is expected to be sailing the high seas in 2035.
With a tiered wedding cake-style structure, passengers are spread across five decks.
There are six guest cabins, which provide accommodation for up to 12 passengers.
While 25 crew are accommodated across 13 cabins.
As sustainable superyachts become increasingly popular, Haven is set to be powered by green methanol.
The net-zero yacht sports a natural theme, with wooden slats and hints of blue.
"For the interior, I was inspired by a futuristic and alternative approach, challenging the norms of yacht design, similar to that of Tecomar's This Is It catamaran", said Felix Chapman-Sheath, of CS Yacht Design, who conceptualised the vessel.
The open-plan living area is kitted out with palm fronds, stylish furniture and a semi-floating staircase.
Guests may also enjoy a unique 'Zen garden' on the main deck, which is completed with skylight at the centre.
Deep Sea Dreamer: The World's Most Luxurious Submarine Superyacht
The space is situated directly in front of the master suite, separated only by a large sheet of glass.
The master bedroom features an off-centred bed with epic views of the sea.
There is a separate sofa area, desk, as well as a large walk-in wardrobe and dressing area.
In terms of speed, Haven will reach a maximum of 18 knots and will cruise comfortably at 12 knots.
This is roughly at the lower end of the scale for average superyacht speeds.

Stunning Cotswolds village with its own sandy beach and lagoon – miles from the English seaside
Plus, other places you can explore in the Cotswolds DIVE IN Stunning Cotswolds village with its own sandy beach and lagoon – miles from the English seaside Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AS IF the Cotswolds wasn't already one of the most idyllic destinations in the country, one village in the region also has a sprawling beach. Quaint villages with old brick bridges crisscrossing rivers and streams are usually the images that come to mind when thinking of the Cotswolds. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Cotswolds Country Park and Beach features an actual beach and swimming lagoons Credit: Facebook/Cotswold country Park and Beach 6 The beach features shallow lake swimming, and then you can also hire a boat to explore the rest of the lake Credit: Facebook/Cotswold country Park and Beach 6 Or you can go kayaking and skateboarding as well Win one of 8 incredible holidays to the Caribbean, Mexico and Greece by voting in The Sun's Travel Awards - enter to win here But near the village of Somerford Keynes in Cirencester is Cotswold Country Park and Beach, which even has its own beach and swimming lagoons. The destination is loved for having lots of things to do, according to multiple Google reviews. This includes a Main Beach Swimming destination and Paddling Lagoon. The sandy beach is long-stretching and it is backed by grassy areas ideal for picnics. Visitors can head here for a paddle or sunbathe, with views of families on pedalo swans on the open lake. Conveniently, the Beach Shack is also nearby, serving light bites, and there is an Ice Cream Hunt just behind the beach too, for a cool treat on a hot day. For those really wanting to get out on the water for a bit of active fun, visitors can hire kayaks or stand-up paddleboards for £10 per 30-minute session. Mini boats, pedalo swans and rowing boats are all available for hire too, costing £10 per 30 minutes. For families that prefer to stay on dry land, they can head to the mini golf which costs just £5 per play or for the same price, you could test out the climbing wall. Visit the idyllic wine making centre of the Cotswolds For younger visitors, there are two children's playparks to explore. After the fun, you could enjoy a BBQ in the designated area as well. Arguably the most exciting attraction at the park though, is AquaVenture - a giant inflatable course sat right on the water. For anyone who wants to experience AquaVenture, there will be a 10-minute briefing before a 50-minute session. Visitors can slip and slide about, or even catapult themselves off of a giant air bag. Pooches don't have to be left out either, as they are allowed in the park - just not on the beach and in the water. Though, the park does schedule regular doggy swim events. One recent visitor said: "It was great to see so many children enjoying being in the water in a safe environment where parents can relax and keep an eye on them. 6 Also at the park, is a giant inflatable course Credit: Facebook/Cotswold country Park and Beach 6 It includes slides and a giant air bag Credit: Facebook/Cotswold country Park and Beach "We managed a paddle and the water was pleasantly warm. We will definitely visit again as a family." Each session costs £15 per person, and wetsuits and aqua socks are available for hire as well. Admission varies depending on the time of year, but for high season pedestrians and cyclists can access the park from £5 per person and a car of up to five people costs from £18.18 - around £3.64 each. Whilst in the area, you could also check out Cotswolds Lake Brew Co, which features quiz nights and an outdoor beer garden with wooden palettes tables and straw bales as benches. Just steps away from the brewery is the Cotswolds Sculpture Park, which costs £10 to enter, and there are an array of different artworks to explore. If you have a few grand spare, you could purchase one of the sculptures as well. There are a lot of holiday homes in the area too, with many sitting at the edge of a lake. What else can you do in the Cotswolds? THE Cotswolds are full of amazing places to explore, here are some spots for inspiration. Villages to explore: Beyond the popular Diddly Squat Farm, visitors can explore nearby villages like Churchill, Kingham, Charlbury and Chipping Norton, which has a theatre, lido and cinema. Activities and Attractions: The Cotswolds offers a variety of activities, including hiking, visiting the Cotswold Motoring Museum, touring the Cotswold Distillery and relaxing at Cotswold Country Park and Beach. Unique local traditions include river football in Bourton-on-the-Water and cheese-rolling at Coopers Hill. Dining and Drinking: The region is home to many pubs and restaurants, from traditional pubs like The Chequers at Churchill to Michelin-starred establishments. The Hook Norton Brewery, operating since 1849 offers tours and tastings. Historical and Cultural Sites: History enthusiasts can visit the Great Rollright Stones, a Neolithic stone circle, while art lovers can attend crafting workshops at Larksworld. Events: The Cotswolds host several major events, including The Big Feastival, Cheltenham Races, and festivals at Blenheim Palace.

Families could face a £1,000 fine for ‘innocent' beach ‘mistake' this summer
Council warns even a handful of sand could harm fragile coastal habitats forever FINE PRINT Families could face a £1,000 fine for 'innocent' beach 'mistake' this summer Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HOLIDAYMAKERS could face fines of up to £1,000 this summer for the seemingly innocent act of taking pebbles, shells or sand from beaches Visitors who take beach 'souvenirs' home with them risk breaking the law under the Coast Protection Act 1949. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The law applies to the whole UK coastline and covers shells, stones, driftwood and other natural materials What may seem like a harmless keepsake, a smooth stone, a scoop of soft sand, or a shell from the shoreline, is actually protected by law. Removing these items can lead to fines, confiscation, and, in rare cases, prosecution. Why the rules exist? The law applies to the whole UK coastline and covers shells, stones, driftwood and other natural materials. It was introduced to protect delicate marine habitats and to stop the gradual erosion of our beaches. These natural defences play a vital role in protecting wildlife and shielding coastal areas from storm damage. Empty shells are often taken over by creatures such as hermit crabs, while pebbles help break the force of waves hitting the shore. Even small amounts taken by millions of visitors each year can add up to a significant loss. Experts warn that once these natural buffers are gone, they can take decades to return — if they return at all. With more Britons than ever opting for seaside staycations this summer, environmental pressure is growing. Research shows nearly 69 per cent are holidaying in the UK this year, rising to over three-quarters among 25-44-year-olds. Popular beach spots include Weymouth, Brighton, Sandbanks, and Durdle Door. Woman fined £1,600 after visiting 'hidden gem' pink beach during European holiday 'it's not JUST a shell' Neil Atkinson, travel expert and owner of Luxury Group Stay, said: 'The UK's coastline remains one of our most cherished national assets, drawing an increasing number of visitors opting for staycations close to a beach this summer. 'It's essential that holidaymakers understand how even small actions can have a significant impact. "From many perspectives, taking shells or pebbles comes across as a harmless token to represent your trip, but these natural elements are vital for preserving our beaches and supporting local wildlife. "There's a surge in staycations, especially to seaside spots, so respecting regulations is hugely important to safeguard these stunning environments for years to come. "The threat of fines reflects the need for responsible tourism and sustainable enjoyment of our coastlines." Authorities say they're not trying to spoil people's fun, but to ensure future generations can enjoy the same pristine beaches. They urge visitors to take only photographs and leave only footprints. Other strict beach laws around the world Spain Leaving the beach without covering up swimwear - fines up to £500 Smoking on the beach - fines up to £1,700 Swimming in the sea after midnight- fines up to £1,020 Being naked on non-nudist beaches - fines up to £560 France Smoking on beaches Italy Taking pebbles - fines up to £2,500 UK Walking dogs on certain beaches between May 1 and September 30 - fines of £1,000 Dropping rubbish - fines up to £2,500 Taking pebbles - fines up to £1,000 Camping on beaches - fines up to £1,000
