Sinot’s New 454-Foot Gigayacht Comes With an Underwater ‘Nemo Lounge’
Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design has once again created waves in the marine world.
The Dutch studio, which has presented several disruptive superyacht concepts over the past decade, unveiled another distinctive design at the Monaco Yacht Show this week. Christened Inspire, the gargantuan gigayacht spans a lofty 454 feet and is packed with an array of dreamy features to spark seafarers’ imaginations.
The striking exterior is distinguished by bold, architectural lines and a sleek reverse bow. The hull is finished in a blue-green hue that merges with the sky and sea. Glass has been elegantly incorporated throughout, adding to the thoroughly modern aesthetic and ensuring plenty of natural light in the living quarters.

Spanning some six decks, Inspire can comfortably accommodate 22 guests and 52 crew. The top deck is dedicated entirely to the owner and offers nearly 3,000 square feet of living space. The private oasis includes a giant primary suite, a lavish en suite with a full-beam vanity, two dressing rooms, a glass-enclosed lounge with a winter garden, and an outdoor terrace that is perfect for morning yoga. Friends and family sleep below, with eight spacious guest cabins on the main deck and two upscale VIP suites on the beach deck. The VIPs are both fitted with fold-out balconies, so guests too can partake in yoga.
At the heart of the interior lies an elegant lobby with a sculptural staircase that leads to all levels. The lobby doubles as a gathering space for the nearby theatre, which houses a stage, a full-beam screen, and seats for up to 40 guests.
One deck up lies a circular restaurant that can satiate the owner and their guests at any given moment. The tables can be arranged for intimate gatherings or large soirees alike. The exterior deck on this level is outfitted for alfresco dining, with loungers surrounding an oculus that affords spectacular views of all below.

Higher still, the upper deck features a giant indoor-outdoor lounge with a cozy fireplace and a wheelhouse with enough comfy seating for guests and crew. Sitting at the pinnacle of the vessel, seafarers can soak in the surrounding environment.
Heading back downstairs, guests will find an epic beach deck with a fully equipped wellness center, a beach lounge, and a swim platform. The real pièce de résistance of this deck is the otherworldly “blue-hole swimming pool.” Surrounded by rugged rock formations, this glass-bottomed wonder provides breathtaking vistas of the ocean.
Another highlight is the Nemo lounge on the lower deck. Located approximately 16 feet below the water’s edge, the observation room allows seafarers to fully appreciate marine wonders without getting their hair wet.
“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,” designer Sander Sinot said in a statement. “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.”
Sinot says Inspire is “ready to be built,” the team just needs to land a buyer.
