Lexus created the Sport Yacht concept last year, but it didn’t make many waves at the time as the automaker did not intent to put it into production. Recently the concept received a special award from Japan’s “Boat of the Year” committee at the Japan International Boat Show in Yokohama, and the automaker confirmed that it will be extending its business into boat building.

“Based on our amazing experiences in engineering, building, testing and showing the Lexus Sport Yacht concept last year, we’ve decided to take the next bold step of producing an all-new larger yacht that builds on the advanced nature of the concept while adding more comfort and living space,” said Toyota Executive Vice President Shigeki Tomoyama when accepting the award.

The production yacht will continue its partnership with American boat company Marquis-Larson. The new yacht will be larger than the Sport Yacht concept as a 65-foot sport fly-bridge cruiser with luxury staterooms below deck and a capacity of 15 people, compared with the 42-foot concept entertaining 8 guests. Sales will begin in the latter half of 2019 in the U.S. and spring of 2020 in Japan.
