The future is here: Introducing the 150-metre luxury yacht concept ONO from Aras Kazar
Clean lines, exceptional efficiency and, of course, luxury have characterised yachting and the charter experience since the industry’s inception – and nothing exemplifies this beautiful fusion more than the 150m/492ft mega yacht concept ONO from designer Aras Kazar.

Aluminium, fibreglass and tempered glass create the statement-making minimalist appearance of ONO. The razor-sharp silhouette has little to distinguish between the hull and the superstructure, except for a touch of gold at the bow that forms a sleek line to the stern.
Aras Kazar has spent over a decade as a freelance yacht designer, and his characteristic designs are more than just a visual delight: Amenities on board include a swimming pool, cinema, helipad and plenty of storage for water toys, while solar panels cover the roof for efficient energy usage on board.

While a view from the sides conceals the outdoor entertainment areas, looking up from the stern reveals a spacious swim platform and beach club for hosting gatherings beside the water. A large fold-down terrace amidships on both sides forms an indoor/outdoor entertaining space, further increasing the options for how guests spend their days.

The overnight accommodation is just as alluring, consisting of 3 Master suites and 5 further guest cabins. The crew complement will ensure that guests receive impeccable service wherever they cruise, with all details taken care of in the background.
