Built by the Dutch shipyard Heesen in 2008, the 637 GT yacht features an exterior design by Omega Architects and an interior by Ausberg Interiors. At the time of her launch, she was named Man of Steel, and was one of the largest yachts launched by Heesen at the time. Onboard, Inception can accommodate up to twelve guests spread across her owner’s suite, a VIP stateroom, two double staterooms and a twin room. Performance-wise, she is powered by twin MTU diesel engines, allowing her to cruise comfortably at 13 knots and reach a top speed of 15.5 knots.
Anchored behind her is the 90-metre superyacht Phoenix 2. Delivered by Lürssen in 2010, she is best known for her distinctive grey hull and striking phoenix figurehead which is placed on her bow. Phoenix 2’s iconic design is by the British studio Winch Design, which is also behind the yacht’s interior.
