An incredible 454-foot-long megayacht comes with an underwater dining room.
The Inspire, featuring influence from Captain Nemo’s undersea adventures, comes in light blue-green to blend naturally with the seas and skies.
Launched at the recent Monaco Yacht Show, Dutch firm Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design says the vessel is ready to build and offers “an unprecedented hospitality experience”.
Inspire consists of six decks with room for 22 guests, with the top deck fully dedicated to the owner.
It features a giant lounge, a main deck with guest cabins, a restaurant and central staircase lobby, a beach deck containing VIP cabins, and a wellness center.
Water lovers can also enjoy a swimming platform and a spacious beach lounge with a blue-hole pool.
The ten-meter pool has rock formations at the edge, and a full glass bottom providing breathtaking views of the underwater world.
At the lowest deck, there is a submersible ‘Nemo’ observation room, five meters below the waves, delivering an uninterrupted view of the sea below.
Designer Sander Sinot said: “The marine environment has always inspired mankind; by its visual splendor of surging waves and endless skies, as well as its sense of wonder, tales of exploration and legendary voyages. Inspire builds on that legacy by providing unprecedented openness between the inside and out, vast exterior decks, and features such as a blue hole swimming pool and submersible Nemo room.”
A Sinot spokesperson says a precise cost estimation of the Inspire is not possible to provide at this stage.
However, the similarly-sized A+ yacht (483ft), belonging to Manchester City owner Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan, reportedly cost around £333 million (over $440 million) to build.
