Headline: RAW VIDEO: Outrageous new 460ft superyacht built for the world’s richest elite has its own beach club, 40ft infinity pool, and TWO limos

Caption: A superyacht for the ultra-wealthy has been unveiled - and it includes its own beach club, walk-in wardrobes and a 40ft infinity pool. Dreamed up by yacht design house Sinot, the futuristic vessel offers a tantalising glimpse into the next era of billionaire sea travel. Stretching an enormous 460ft, Aura comes packed with panoramic lounges, wraparound glass façades and a private Owner’s Deck billed as a “sanctuary above the waves”. There’s even a VIP suite and six additional “state rooms” for the extra-lucky guests privileged enough to snag an invite. “Foldout hatches offer safe sea access, while a beam-wide Panorama Lounge with sweeping views hosts social events,” Sinot said. “A Diver’s Club encourages immersion, and an Observatory Lounge on top seems to float in the sky. “The Beach Club, with its views and monumental art installation, links multiple decks directly to the sea, while the Owner’s Deck crowns the design as a private haven.” While the price remains a mystery, Aura promises a staggering range of 6,000 nautical miles and a top speed of 19.5 knots, cruising comfortably at 14. It can host up to 16 guests along with a 47-strong staff, crew and its captain. And because billionaires don’t travel light, the yacht also offers two 49ft “limo” tenders and eight waverunners for high-speed sea adventures. Across its five enormous decks, Aura packs in glass-lined lounges, sun-soaked terraces and sprawling outdoor spaces. At the summit, the Observatory Lounge delivers what Sinot boasts is a private, uninterrupted panorama of endless ocean. “The Owner’s Deck provides secluded retreat, while the Upper Deck features a beam-wide Panorama Lounge, vast al-fresco areas, and an open-plan wheelhouse. “On the Main Deck, guests enjoy VIP suites, a wellness sanctuary, gym, and a 750 m² exterior deck flowing into the multi-level Beach Club. “At the waterline, fold-out terraces and the Diver’s Club create direct connections to the sea—an aquatic haven of adventure and refined leisure.” The Owner’s State Room pushes indulgence even further, with a forward-facing bedroom opening onto its own outdoor deck, plus his-and-hers bathrooms and two circular walk-in wardrobes. A private rear lounge and terrace are designed – Sinot suggests – for “an intimate breakfast at sunrise” or simply a quiet moment with a book. Elsewhere on the main deck, the VIP suite comes with double bathrooms and a private lounge, while the Beach Club expands into sea-level terraces when its folding hatches open. Here, guests can enjoy a dining pavilion, a near-50ft glass-bottom infinity pool, a Diver’s Club complete with a glass bar, and even a mysterious blue-lit circular corridor. Crowning it all is the Upper Deck’s giant Panorama Lounge, described as “the ultimate residential gathering space”. It’s where guests are expected to be “dining together, or celebrating late into the night”. Naturally, the yacht also includes an arsenal of diving gear and water toys – ensuring it can compete with the world’s most extravagant superyachts. And perhaps most enticingly for prospective buyers, Sinot insists the design is a “ready-to-build, fully operational concept”.
