The New Billionaire Yacht Craze Is A Full-Size IMAX Movie Screen

The ambitious project is part of a collaboration between legendary superyacht designer Ken Freivokh and yacht communications purveyor Yacht Intelligence. The theater is in lowest part of the ship, charmingly called the Nemo Room.
Everything has been considered down to the most minute detail, from the shape of the room to the position of the furniture for a truly authentic IMAX experience. Nothing about the Nemo Room is your typical superyacht screening room.
The trademark IMAX dual 4k projection screen isn't just for Hollywood movies, either. It will also use the ship's live underwater CCTV footage to spy on the sea critters underneath and around the 492-foot yacht, projecting it onto the big screen.

"With IMAX's strict parameters and incredibly specific technological requirements, our first challenge was to persuade them to take us seriously, and prove that it would be possible to create a truly unique private theater on a superyacht,"Alan Bernardi, founder of Yacht Intelligence, told Forbes.
Another complication was figuring out how to download the huge IMAX files over a satellite Internet connection.

No word yet on when the superyacht will be finished or who the mystery owner will be, but the project is sure to look incredible. Take a final look at the yacht's floor plan below.
