sinot's INSPIRE superyacht lets passengers look underwater with nemo observation room

Superyacht inspire by SINOT has a ‘nemo’ observation room

Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design reveals INSPIRE, its superyacht that has an observation room that descends from its lowest level, allowing passengers to see what goes on below the sea surface, up to 5 meters. Unveiled during the Monaco Yacht Show 2023, passengers can step inside the dubbed Nemo observation room and wait for the captain to lower it when the superyacht INSPIRE is anchored or stable.

Inside, the space comes with swivel chairs that rotate around a round table, allowing passengers to look in different directions and through various windows to observe underwater creatures. The Nemo observation room also uses high-tech sensors, cameras, and sonar technology to track, record, and enhance the underwater viewing experience. If someone from the yacht goes on a diving expedition, they can also be observed from inside this room.

Sinot superyacht INSPIRE boasts six decks on board

Aside from the Nemo observation room, the 138-meter Sinot superyacht INSPIRE boasts six decks on board, each with a different purpose. The top deck is for the owner; the upper deck has a large guest lounge and the wheelhouse, where the captain, as well as those they may invite in, is stationed to control the yacht. The main deck consists of the guest cabins and an al-fresco restaurant, while the beach deck features the VIP cabins, a wellness area, and an area with a blue-hole pool. The latter is also dedicated to gatherings, should the owner host events on board.

Outside the Sinot superyacht INSPIRE, it’s visible that its body starts wider at the top and narrows as it moves down toward the front, giving the vessel a ‘strong’ look. The light blue-green color of the hull helps it blend with its surroundings, and the superyacht has many large windows and glass walls to allow plenty of natural light inside and provide landscape views. A steel-like material wraps around the entire Sinot superyacht, adding a reflective look that bounces off and mimics the views of the sea. The rear of INSPIRE also features a retractable flight of steps so passengers can get on and off the vessel, saving space and maintaining its singular look.

‘Blue hole’ swimming pool with rock formations on its edge

One of the central areas on the superyacht INSPIRE is the ‘blue hole’ swimming pool. The Sinot Yacht team designed it to be circular, with a diameter of 10 meters, and to feature rock formations at the edge, so the border of the pool resembles natural rock. The tiles inside the pool are colored Raku-ceramic tiles, and the pool has a full glass bottom, making this entire part of the pool see-through. In this way, passengers swimming in the pool can see the ocean beneath them, especially if the capacity of the Nemo observation room has been reached. On board, Sinot’s superyacht INSPIRE is imagined to have a central lobby, which is the vessel’s main area.

It acts as a gathering space and the point of connection to the other parts of the superyacht. It is here where the passengers find the theater, which doubles as a presentation room. Sinot Yacht’s team conceptualizes a monumental sculpted bronze door with azure glass inserts for its entrance. In another area, the wheelhouse, the captain’s space, stretches across the full width of the superyacht INSPIRE and is designed with transparent walls so they can see the horizon. In case passengers want to be there and observe the Sinot superyacht’s operation, there’s ample seating for them in the room. So far, the Sinot superyacht team has yet to announce the production of INSPIRE.
