A megayacht concept inspired by Spartan helmets could be taking to the waves soon.

ONO is a stunning 492-foot (150-meter) mammoth vessel with a mysterious personality, designed to look like "an unknown object hovering above the horizon".

The yacht was created by European-based freelance yacht designer Aras Kazar, who has been penning "minimalist, futuristic and sleek" vessels for the past decade.

Featuring a peculiar wedge-like profile with a sharp inverted bow and a sleek tapered superstructure, ONO is described as "one of the most assertive designs" coming from Kazar and "one of the most extraordinary yet realistic concepts in the mega yacht industry." The megayacht's menacing, sharp exterior design is said to draw inspiration from Spartan helmets. Tempered glass, aluminium, and fibreglass seem to dominate in terms of build composition.

Another design element that stands out is the supersized foredeck, with an elongated bow that fits a helipad and the almost 90-degree drop from bow to stern. Meanwhile, the aft deck houses an infinity pool that cascades down onto the beach club below.

The impressive design is completed with a generous swim platform that offers direct access to the ocean, as well as a dedicated space for waterside cocktails. It is equipped with three master suites, five staterooms and space for a full crew.

There's also a swimming pool, a platform for jet-ski and other marine toys, an offshore movie cinema, a helipad, and more. However, the most intriguing feature is her offshore movie theatre, which folds down to reveal a perfect platform for guests to enjoy a film under the stars.

Artificial intelligence is being used to design magazine covers and provide pictures for internet newsletters. What could possibly go wrong?
