Italian architect Giancarlo Zema is successful in selling profitable contracts similar to Moby in design:

Jellyfish 45 - 2 million Euros contract

Amphibious 1000 500 million contract

The photo is very nice practical design which is superior to the Moby, IMO.

Notice the sloped rear design of Moby will make it very difficult to have bathroom, bedroom or quality standing room.

Unless of course Moby is a Tardis.

Moby looks cool on first glance but think about how much you can fit in that triangle design and how difficult it will be to walk around give the large deck space at the open end. Something is going to have to be radically changed for it to be practical.

The Waternest looks a better design, IMO.

the moby looks to also have a flat hull, which gets very bumpy with some chop on the water, so don't leave your expensive champagne glasses unattended over a 5 kt breeze.
