INSPIRE and her integrated, bold design combines inspiring yachting with an unprecedented hospitality experience. Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design presents the ready-to-build concept INSPIRE with a stunning 1600mm scale model at the Monaco Yacht Show 2024 (Stand: Parvis Piscine PP73).
The superyacht INSPIRE paves the way for inspiration. Designer Sander Sinot: “The marine environment has always inspired mankind; by its visual splendour 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.”
Furthermore, INSPIRE offers spacious social meeting spaces and a theatre for inspirational events, where the owner, guests, and invitees from all over the world can meet, socialize, exchange ideas, and plan the future, inspired by the seascapes surrounding them. Sander Sinot: “We hope our holistic approach towards yachting will inspire owners, prospects, and industry. Just about anything is possible when you experience the Power of Inspiration.
INSPIRE’s exterior is created using bold architectural lines, forming a three-dimensional statement of elegant curves and strength. The light blue-green shade of the hull color enables the yacht to blend naturally with the seas and skies. This effect is strengthened by floor-to-ceiling glass façades, multiple hatches, al-fresco lounges, and shaded exterior decks, where unobstructed views of the water and skies provide true inspiration. INSPIRE’s nautical platform of 138-meters LOA consists of six decks: a top deck fully dedicated to the owner, an upper deck with a giant lounge and open-plan wheelhouse to share the sailing experience, a main deck with guest cabins, a restaurant and central staircase lobby, a beach deck containing VIP cabins, a wellness centre, swimming platform, spacious beach lounge with a blue hole pool as well as generous spaces for inspirational events. At the lowest deck, there is a submersible observation room delivering an uninterrupted view of the sea below.
INSPIRE’s beach lounge is a finely detailed and meticulously crafted multi-purpose space. The central focal point is the stunning blue-hole swimming pool. The pool has a diameter of 10 meters with rock formations at the edge, and a full glass bottom providing breathtaking views of the underwater world. INSPIRE’s health and wellness center with its sauna, hammam, massage, treatment, and gym, is a shrouded world of tranquil serenity, where the subdued lighting and elementary design create an intimate environment far-removed from a hectic day-to-day life.
INSPIRE’s midships-located central lobby contains an impressive central circular staircase whose sculptural design makes the stairs appear to float freely in space. The lobby serves as a break-out space for the inspirational theatre that, with its intimate stage and full-beam presentation screen, can host up to 40 guests for events. During events at the theatre, the owner and guests can engage in presentations and brainstorm on positive change, opening everyone’s minds to exciting new possibilities.
After and during the inspirational sessions in INSPIRE’s theatre, the spacious circular restaurant one deck up is available for strengthening the inner human with delicious bites, drinks, and fine dining. Table settings can be intimate, or in a larger conference room style or round table layout. The 2.85-meter-high glass façades surrounding the restaurant can slide away for an almost al-fresco setting. The exterior deck aft serves as a 588m2 grand terrace for the restaurant, where loungers are placed around an oculus that offers sights into the blue hole pool and underwater sea life through its glass bottom.
Located on INSPIRE’s beach deck close to the waterline, the two generously sized VIP staterooms stand out thanks to their spacious design which includes a double bathroom and dressing area. The main and most inspiring feature in these staterooms is a giant balcony-by-hatch opposite the bed that can be folded down in calm waters. When lowered, this distinctive hatch provides VIP guests with an extended floor space with uninterrupted views and close vicinity to the water.
The Owner’s stateroom is located on the top deck of INSPIRE and offers a vast 250m2 of living space including a bathroom with full beam vanity, two dressing areas and a private lounge. A key point is privacy, with the Owner and his or her loved ones having the deck to themselves. The Owner’s lounge is located at the aft of the deck and is enclosed by floor-to-ceiling glass façades with an inserted glass wintergarden. The Owner’s exterior deck is perfectly designed for a light morning workout, yoga, or for a brief walk to take in the freshness of the morning. The sense of harmony is reinforced by awe-inspiring views over the ocean; scenery that can be enjoyed throughout the Owner’s lounge and Owner’s state room through the floor-to-ceiling glass façades.
Eight spacious and comfortable guest cabins are located forward on the main deck of INSPIRE. All the cabins have a built-in window seat positioned in the elegant windows, delivering an infinite connection with the surrounding seascape while providing an atmosphere of pleasing intimacy and mindful hospitality.
The forward section of the upper deck lounge is geared towards intimate relaxation, with an integrated fireplace and ultra-comfortable lounge chairs. The vast lounge area, which includes all the upper deck exterior space measures 379m2, and provides ample expanse for not only the onboard guests but also for larger groups of visitors invited from the shore, perhaps from other yachts or helicoptered-in. It is a unique social space to use in conjunction with the restaurant and the theatre, for meetings, exchanging ideas, deepening discussions, and generally becoming inspired.
INSPIRE’s full-beam, transparent wheelhouse has a generous seating arrangement for all who want to be part of the yacht’s operation and provides a stunning working environment for the captain, first officer, and crew. The wheelhouse is designed as the wheelhouse of the future encompassing the latest technologies and planned for optimal operation with efficient space distribution.
A most impressive feature is situated at the yacht’s lowest level approximately 5-meters below the sea’s surface. The spectacular submersible Nemo observation room provides a unique opportunity to experience intriguing and inspiring underwater life in a serene setting.
