Imagine eating in an underwater dining room in the middle of the ocean with views of stunning sea life all around - one recently revealed mega yacht plans to make this dream a reality.

The incredible 454ft 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 say 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, restaurant and central staircase lobby, a beach deck containing VIP cabins, and a wellness centre.

Water lovers can also enjoy a swimming platform and spacious beach lounge with a blue hole pool. The ten metre 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 metres 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 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."

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 £333million to build.

Earlier this year, another jaw-dropping megayacht was reportedly commissioned by an American tech billionaire. The 374ft Project Arwen vessel features a 66ft-long hydraulic swimming pool, which is able to raise and transform into an outdoor entertainment area. The yacht is currently thought to be under construction by German firm Dorries Yachts.

Project Arwen boasts a 3,121 sq ft owner's suite, indoor and outdoor cinemas, a world-class spa facility, helipad, spiral staircase, winter garden, and multiple bar and entertainment areas. There are five en suite cabins and a luxury VIP room for special guest. The owner has a whole private deck, complete with dressing room and a terrace. The boat can power along at 15 knots with a range of 5,000 nautical miles.
