AN ULTRA-luxury superyacht inspired by a hammerhead shark could be yours for £150 million.
A state-of-the-art Feadship Concept C features a “flying” viewing deck where shipmates can recreate the iconic Titanic pose like Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio.

The eco-friendly superyacht boasts an infinity pool, a spa, a gym, a bar and a fancy seating area that can move to different levels at the touch of a button.
There are two main staterooms, each with bathrooms, dressing rooms, and sitting rooms.
Guests can also choose from five double bedrooms, while there are nine rooms for staff.
The 246 ft, three-storey yacht is electric but can still travel at 19 knots – 20mph.
A Feadship spokesperson said: “Additional electrical power will be generated by one pair of narrow wave-actuated fins that fold out from the hull aft of the anchors.
“Extending horizontally from the hull, the look, if imagined from above, would be like the outline of a hammerhead shark.
“The fins are connected to permanent magnet rotors that create DC electrical energy directly to the micro-DC grid onboard.”
The luxury vessel has re-imagined the way people travel between floors, making it more seamless.
The Feadship spokesperson added: “Imagine being transported between decks without stepping into the confines of an elevator.
“No matter how nicely decorated, an elevator creates a disconnect from one floor to the next.
“C introduces a seamless transition between the decks via a dramatic central court that keeps them visually and literally connected like a three-dimensional chess board.
“Instead of stepping into an isolated lift capsule, at the touch of a button a neat, hexagon shaped seating area gently moves to deposit you seamlessly at your desired level with no break in the conversation.
“The lifting mechanism can also swivel 180 degrees to accommodate the split-level decks and place passengers nearer their destination.
“Take it to the top and the skylight automatically opens revealing a private crow’s nest. It sounds like a movie special effect, but it’s possible.”
Senior designer Ruud Bakker was inspired by the Amsterdam diamond cutting workshop of Gassan Diamonds.
The stunning glass design comes from a study of diamonds and how they spread light.
The spokesperson added: “Also inspiring were examples of cutting-edge architecture with zero boundary facades blurring the line between indoors and out.
“The designers used these concepts to amplify guest contact with the sea, a relationship that owners note sadly tends to fade as yachts get larger.”
