First of its kind: The world’s largest sailing superyacht to get an IMAX theatre

Gone are the days when a massive, almost 500-footer needed little else besides the mammoth dimensions for effect. Confirming that is this news- the world’s largest vessel, at 150 m will have its own IMAX theatre. Called The Nemo Room, the space that would accommodate up to 20 persons is currently being designed by Yacht designer Ken Freivokh and Yacht Intelligence.

According to Alan Bernardi, Founder and Managing Director of Yacht Intelligence, “Everything needs to be considered in the design and build – from the technology itself to the usability of the yacht and even which furnishings provide optimum acoustic performance.”

Therefore if the existing owner opts for the cinema aboard his 150m yacht, or it’s taken up by the next client, we will work to ensure none of the normal operations or spaces are adversely affected.”
