Lexus has expanded its horizons beyond the road to the waves, announcing the impressive LY680 Luxury Yacht, a successor to the LY650 model, known for its opulence and exquisite design. The LY680 represents the pinnacle of Lexus's 'Crafted' philosophy, where attention to detail and customer satisfaction take precedence. The development concept centers around creating a serene hideaway in the open seas, offering an unparalleled sense of freedom and comfort. Its design, both external and internal, follows the Lexus L-finesse philosophy, ensuring a luxurious experience down to the smallest detail. The LY680 is not just about aesthetics; its features are designed to provide a cruising performance that instills confidence through stable maneuverability, ride comfort, and quiet operation.

The construction of the LY680 is overseen by the Horizon Group, acclaimed for their advanced technological prowess and experience in superyacht construction. This collaboration between Lexus and the Horizon Group leverages the Toyota Production System, integrating both entities' strengths to bring this magnificent vessel to life. The LY680 comes with enhanced features compared to its predecessor, including a 1,400mm extension of the flybridge equipped with a lounge sofa and a barbecue grill, and a 700mm extension of the swimming platform, enhancing the outdoor experience on the yacht.

Set to be a spectacle at the Japan International Boat Show in 2024, the LY680 Luxury Yacht is currently accepting orders exclusively in Japan, with a wider release eyed for future markets based on customer demand. With a length of 20.66 meters, the yacht boasts twin Volvo IPS engines, has a fuel capacity of 4,012 liters and can comfortably accommodate 15 passengers across its three rooms, totaling six beds. This grand vessel is scheduled for delivery in spring 2026, promising a blend of luxury, performance, and innovation, underscoring Lexus’s commitment to exceeding the expectations of its discerning customers in every venture.
