The X-TEND is an innovative approach to making the best use of both aft and cockpit deck areas using a transforming sunbed arrangement. The novel innovation converts to transform the ‘Beach Club’ area of a Sunseeker yacht into a private outdoor sanctuary. The X-TEND sunbed system offers diverse functionality at the stern of Sunseeker’s larger yacht models in the range.
Available on the new Sunseeker 88 yacht, 90 Ocean and 100 yacht, it provides a multifunctional waterside area that hydraulically opens to become a large sun pad ideal for sunbathing at water level. When the sunbed is not in use, it is cleverly concealed into the stern, ensuring that owners can make the most of the platform to access and launch a tender if specified or simply sunbathe waterside.
The X-TEND sunbed converts to transform the ‘Beach Club’ area of a Sunseeker yacht into a private outdoor sanctuary.
Set beneath the X-TEND sunbed are a variety of options to complement the owner’s desired usage of the space, an overhead rain shower and a generous storage space for all the essentials any owner would need at water level, including dedicated lockers for two Seabobs, diving equipment and towels. Whilst standing on the platform, the moulding of the X-TEND can provide an area of shade in its semi-raised position.
In its fully raised position, the X-TEND sunbed completely transforms the aft cockpit with its generous sized sunbed facing forward into this popular social seating area, adding over one metre of additional usable space for large groups. The innovative design allows a multiplicity of arrangements on one of the main entertainment spaces on-board.
Andrea Frabetti, Chief Executive Officer at Sunseeker International, commented: “To win the ‘Innovation of the Year’ award at the Superyacht Design Festival is an incredible achievement for the company and is a testament to the hard work of the team which comprises of over 100 designers and engineers. Sunseeker’s in-house Design and Engineering Team is continuously looking for ways to improve the user experience by providing novel and exciting solutions to client requirements.”
Ewen Foster, Chief Technical Officer at Sunseeker International, added: “These prestigious international awards attract global interest, and winning our category against such illustrious and strong competition demonstrates just how committed and capable we are in being able to offer clever innovation to our clients whatever the type and size of the vessel. Innovation is along with practicality, efficiency and style, has always been a primary driving force within our Design Team. The X-TEND™ feature was conceived and engineered entirely by our very strong and experienced in-house Design and Engineering Team. Our design process involves all disciplines under one roof, working in parallel on all aspects which ensures innovation can blossom and immediately be incorporated into the broader design. This ensures our clients enjoy a standout wow-factor feature that complements, and is completely integrated, within the wider yacht design.”
After last year’s virtual prize-giving, the 2022 Design & Innovation Awards welcomed the return of the in-person awards ceremony in Milan, held as part of the Superyacht Design Festival. Each of this year’s entries represented the spirit and determination of the shipyards, naval architects and designers to persevere and continue to make deliveries in the … Read more

Not just a concept – Generate clean, safe drinking water wherever you are. The 2023 Living Vehicle is pushing the limits of modern nomadic living.
The 2023 model is Living Vehicle’s most self-sufficient trailer to date. The game-changing integrated water from air system allows owners to stay off-grid longer than ever before.
After much anticipation, Living Vehicle, a luxury electric travel trailer with impressively powerful off-grid capabilities, announces its 2023 model, bringing the company closer than ever to its ultimate goal of achieving a Net-Zero offering. The Living Vehicle 2023 Travel Trailer allows owners to travel far away from campgrounds and overcrowded RV parks. The 2023 Living Vehicle is a traveling solar power plant capable of creating an endless water supply to allow its owners to remain off-grid longer than ever before.
The 2023 Living Vehicle is the first vehicle (trailer or otherwise) to produce its water with the innovative Watergen water system that uses humidity in the air to create potable water. With more solar power than most traditional homes, this technologically independent trailer is the epitome of luxury unplugged with a robust LVEngergy power system, offering complete energy independence to power all onboard equipment. The 2023 model makes it possible for anyone, even professionals in the most demanding creative industries, to work anywhere with the Creative Studio, a mobile office jam-packed with state-of-the-art technology from Apple.
Living Vehicle blends autonomous technology and enduring, sustainable power with stunning, functional architecture to push the limits of modern nomadic living. The 2023 model is the most powerful trailer currently on the market and boasts luxe furnishings, gourmet appliances, seemingly endless storage space, and spa-like bathing. Living Vehicle’s founders, Matthew and Joanna Hofmann, created Living Vehicle from their own firsthand experiences to challenge the status quo of living, traveling, and working from the road so the modern nomad can live without compromise.

“The 2023 Living Vehicle is our most powerful trailer to date, thanks to our proprietary LVEnergy system. Being able to create our water from air is monumental and allows travelers not to be limited by the size of their water tanks while on the go,” said Matthew Hofmann. “Conventional trailer design is fundamentally a short-term solution designed for recreation, which in the end, is why they are called recreational vehicles, or RVs. Nomadic Living Vehicle homeowners enjoy both form and function with the freedom to remain safe, healthy, and connected longer while exploring the best and most remote destinations in North America without ever having to plug into a campsite or fill up their water tanks. Our vision for Living Vehicle is to support the best possible life, literally creating the very resources we as humans need – completely free from the grid.”
Living Vehicle 2023 Model – Industry-First Water Generation Technology – Premium Drinking Water from Air
Watergen water-air generator is paired with Living Vehicle’s oversized water tank, multiple redundant power sources, energy storage packs and off-road capabilities, allowing owners to comfortably extend their freedom on the road and in remote locations, longer than ever before. Access to 24-7 potable water is a central pillar in the ability to remain off-grid. As pioneers for the industry, Living Vehicle partnered with Watergen, leaders in sustainability, innovation, and luxury, offering the ultimate water from air technology, to fully integrate this system into the 2023 Living Vehicle structure. By partnering with Watergen and seamlessly incorporating the technology into its models, Living Vehicle has become one of just 15 companies worldwide to experience Watergen’s on-the-go water generator integrated system.

The production of drinking water from humidity in the air via Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) is undeniably the best water extraction solution available today. The 2023 model units with Watergen give owners the independence and freedom to enjoy top-quality, mineral-rich water from the comfort of their Living Vehicle wherever their off-grid journeys take them, even in the most arid and remote locations. The technology also naturally reduces the vehicle owner’s carbon footprint and plastic pollution by eliminating single-use plastic containers and transportation-related supply chain pollution.
Producing enough water for an entire family, the technology saves storage space, allows for ease of preparation for travel, extends the time one can spend off-grid, and eliminates the hassle of finding water sources en route. The INside system requires minor maintenance and provides up to 5 gallons of clean drinkable water per day.
“Watergen is proud to partner with Living Vehicle for the first mobile application to provide water on the go,” said Michael Mirilashvili, President of Watergen. “This innovation now available in the 2023 Living Vehicle has been in the works for years and brings us closer to our vision to provide clean, safe, and sustainable drinking water around the clock, from any location.”
