Together, they have crafted Hippolyta, which aims to harmoniously blend timeless aesthetics, with cutting-edge technology and sustainability.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329025/image/large-1a9255ac26dcbff61945d7faa878997f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329025">The name Hippolyta translates as 'she who unleashes the horses', deriving from two Greek roots meaning horse and let loose. This element has been incorporating into her design with a horse motif added to her superstructure.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329034/image/large-09e99036e10c28691f58dbfd0c8df2c3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329034"> “Hippolyta’s design was never intended to be retro,” explained designer Christian Leyk. “We wanted to design a yacht that embodies the spirit of a particular era without directly replicating historical styles. Many of the yachts now considered timeless were, at the time of their creation, forward-looking in their design. We aimed to do the same by blending classic lines with contemporary flair.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329027/image/large-e2f2fb6f9f66b4a9ef318727ca7842b1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329027"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329028/image/large-1debc17362f954082893646d6307bdb4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329028">Spanning four decks, Hippolyta features a steel hull and aluminium superstructure and presents an exquisite blend of understated luxury and Scandinavian minimalism.

One of the highlights is her spacious aft lounge and formal dining area on the main deck, which flows seamlessly into the beach club’s pool and lounge area through vintage-shaped panoramic windows.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329031/image/large-bc3bdd150f1929d27453aad891f611ab.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329031"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329037/image/large-392af024337444670b289a76975f0c8c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329037"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/329036/image/large-c8ef9ee390f09f1a8e9c892c9b357286.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/329036">Her sun deck offers an array of entertainment options including a Jacuzzi, while an indoor lounge and bar area provides the perfect setting for relaxed evenings with unobstructed views of the sea.

The Dutch studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/926" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design (Company)">Sinot Yacht Architecture &amp; Design</a> has shared the details of Inspire, a 138.38-metre superyacht concept centred around the “Power of Inspiration.” A 1,600-millimetre scale model of the design will be presented during next week’s <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2024">Monaco Yacht Show</a> in Port Hercule. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328812/image/large-6f4c4863f3e3c62d7286d645c0edaab2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328812">Inspire’s exterior silhouette consists of striking architectural lines, with a light blue-green hull colour allowing the vessel to blend in with the maritime environment. Floor-to-ceiling glass façades, multiple hatches, al-fresco lounge areas, and shaded exterior decks allow guests to take in the surrounding water and skies for inspiration.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328820/image/large-48e6ad67c5b732c0888ed908c55e52d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328820"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328813/image/large-1df93aea6e74e2e92016773daad8e46a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328813">As designer Sander Sinot states, “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.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328811/image/large-ff05ffc2a03566f6a82b8e89664a89fd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328811">Spanning over six decks, Inspire’s&nbsp;top deck is entirely dedicated to the owner, while the upper deck contains a large lounge and open-plan wheelhouse, and the main deck includes guest staterooms, a restaurant, and central staircase lobby.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328823/image/large-6c57016389d0525237e04106bc117222.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328823"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328805/image/large-56a1dc2e3aebf0e9146d88d62afbb498.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328805">This deck is also home to a beach lounge with a blue hole pool, along with spacious areas perfect for “inspiration events”, according to the studio. Inspire’s&nbsp;lowest deck features a submersible observation room for unobstructed views of the sealife down below.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328797/image/large-d422d694260b018bbbda45d35b56fbf2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328797"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328796/image/large-07c132b2c29d0220092459e3cfb2f80e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328796">With a volume of 8,151 GT and a beam of 21.1-metres, the superyacht is capable of accommodating as many as 22 guests across an owner’s suite, two VIP suites, and eight guest staterooms. Inspire&nbsp;is also able to host as many as 51 crew members and the captain.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328822/image/large-52fedd16a6da98c4a988386a42ef1a72.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328822"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328800/image/large-2735890283ebe29cd1d69129bdb355c9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328800">Located on the top deck, the owner’s suite boasts 250-square-metres of living space, with an ensuite bathroom complete with a full-beam vanity, two dressing areas, and a private lounge. The owner’s lounge can be found on the aft of this deck, and is flanked by floor-to-ceiling glass façades with an inserted glass wintergarden. This space is optimised for a morning workout, yoga, or for admiring the morning views of the ocean. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328799/image/large-477ac8b36319020816aadfdff56355ac.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328799">Furthermore, eight guest staterooms are situated forward on Inspire’s&nbsp;main deck. Each stateroom is fitted with a built-in window seat placed in the vast windows, accentuating the connection between the indoors and outdoors.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328802/image/large-ca86739902b6a66948c238df9b464b68.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328802"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328803/image/large-821c8af771ef3a98a2f718bccafe6073.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328803"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328808/image/large-22c25dad2b93f2cf7ed375152fbf5be5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328808">One of Inspire's&nbsp;most standout features is the submersible Nemo observation room, located on the lowest deck, five metres below the sea’s surface. This amenity means guests can “experience intriguing and inspiring underwater life in a serene setting”, the studio explains.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328821/image/large-96b94d5c520ef15f91b27917c9b866b3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328821"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328816/image/large-033f7fb1d1dc9db3f289ffb0730815eb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328816">“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,” Sander Sinot adds. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328809/image/large-bf5578f0ec59ecc4a692b35fd3722904.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328809">Regarding her performance, Inspire can reach a cruising speed of 11 knots and a top speed of 16.5 knots. When cruising at a speed of 11 knots, she has a range of 3,750 nautical miles. In terms of her storage, the superyacht has the capacity to store a two-by-13-metre limo tender, a one-by-9.5-metre tender, and various water toys onboard. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/328806/image/large-bb824bd3c4be3f46ae71fa0151f499a3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/328806">
