It’s a 400ft-long luxury yacht that comes with a helipad and a floating lounge.
But the inspiration for the latest state-of-the-art vessel to take to the high seas may be a little surprising.
The yacht is named after the deadly mako shark and its design is based on the creature’s sleek, powerful lines combined with the softer shapes made by ocean waves.

The mako is the fastest shark in the sea and has been dubbed the cheetah of the ocean, reaching speeds of between 40 and 45mph.
With a top speed of 58mph, its namesake is capable of outrunning it.

It is being marketed by design group State Of Craft as an explorer vessel with the capacity of challenging polar expeditions.
But it also comes with a huge array of luxury features designed to creature a home-from-home.

These include a unique floating lounge and a swimming pool on the foredeck with dramatic views.
The Pavilion is an area above the top deck which can be used as a sky observatory, panoramic lounge, fitness studio, or yoga space.

‘I wanted the hull and superstructure, interior and exterior spaces, to all be highly integrated into an overall volume with a continuous surface.’
The Mako has zero carbon emissions thanks to the yacht’s hydrogen fuel cells, electric engines, batteries, and solar panels.

There is a helipad on the foredeck which allows a craft to land safely and be stored in the garage below deck by means of a platform lift.
The Mako is also equipped with garage doors so tender boats can be moored inside the vessel.
