An Island Fit For A Bond Villain
Thanks to climate change, the 1 percent now have a new problem to worry about. As sea levels rise, their private islands are imperiled. With a new concept from Swiss submarine-maker Migaloo, islands no longer have to be so annoyingly stationary. Kokomo Ailand is a custom-built multistory mega-yacht that comes complete with a penthouse, submarine bays, a beach club, and a shark elevator.
Specs of Migaloo Submarines: Kokomo Ailand
Footprint: 98,304 square feet (384 feet long by 256 feet wide)
Hull depth: 67.25 feet
Build time: Five to eight years
Cost: TBD (What's your Forbes rank?)
Top speed: 7 knots (8 mph)
Solid Ground
Like a cruise ship, Kokomo Ailand is a series of decks. They sit atop two massive pontoons, which remain submerged to keep the craft level. Four submersible towers extend below the pontoons; they house storage, service decks, and the four anchor lines that keep the Ailand in place.
