After an initial one off concept from Sport Yacht Concept, the automaker will launch its first production model in 2019, the Lexus LY 650. This 42-foot boat targets a wealthy clientele and should place Lexus on the luxury boat market.

In January 2017, car manufacturer Lexus unveiled the Lexus Sport Yacht Concept . This 42 foot (12.7 m) dayboat designed by the Lexus Design Center was primarily a design exercise to showcase the brand's expertise in marine design.

This 65-foot (19.96-foot) flyboat supports the automaker's desire to position itself in the sports yacht market. And unlike the first model, the LY 650 will be produced in series.
