The first images inside the biggest yacht in the world have been revealed ahead of its launch in 2024.
Somnio, when launched, will be both the largest and longest yacht in the world.
The huge yacht has been dubbed the “floating condo for the rich” with 39 luxury apartments onboard, starting from £8.1m. They will range in size from 1,959sqft to 10,365sqft with each having private decks or terraces, while the largest apartment will take over most of the top deck.
Having the “most exclusive address in the world,” many of the rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, with the owners able to design them to meet their own needs. Images of the proposed room designs show super-luxe interiors with huge king size beds, walk-in wardrobes and bespoke kitchens and en-suite bathrooms.
Despite residents also needing to pay an annual fee to live there, for maintenance and repairs, some of them have already sold.
Somnio co-founder Captain Erik Bredhe said: “As the only residential superyacht in the world, we are delighted to work with designers that complement our exacting standards. Our owners will experience only the best, as is befitting of a yacht of this nature.”
However, there is loads more on the 728ft yacht as well. On the boat will be swimming pools, a spa, gym, a sport bar, a “cafe-style marketplace” to buy daily produce and a cinema, as well as libraries and a club with “fine liquors and a wide range of cigars”.
Two restaurants with en-suite dining as well as a 10,000 bottle wine cellar tasting room will also be onboard, which will be visited by world-class chefs. It will also feature a beach club with the yacht company explaining it will “open up to the outside deck with a large lap pool and two large spas as well as bars and sumptuous outdoor lounges and seating as its central features”.
Passengers will be able to request watersports equipment and boats for beach landings, excursions, fishing, diving and snorkelling. Somnio, which means “to dream” in Latin, has been edesigned by Winch Design and Tillberg Design of Sweden, and will be built by Norwegian ship builder VARD.
It is expected to sail to all corners of the world, from short stays in the Mediterranean to expeditions in Antarctica. Last year, one of the largest superyachts was put on sale for £40m. And a new concept superyacht designed for billionaires was unveiled last month – with a 200ft ‘gaping hole’ of empty space inside it.
