EXTERIOR
The hull is painted in black with a distinguished British racing green stripe, while the sun awning is adorned with a custom artwork by artist Paul Kremer. The main deck aft is furnished with a sofa, raised table and moveable chairs for alfresco dining and outdoor lounging in the shade. Two stairways lead down to the swim platform, a port-side stairway connects to the flybridge and side walkways lead around to the foredeck, where there are two sofas in front of the raised pilothouse for guests to take in the sweeping views.

The tiered flybridge has a tender along the stern, with a C-shaped sofa and covered table aft for casual drinks or putting feet up to unwind beneath the canvas bimini. Additional side tables and chairs fill the space, and the raised forward section has a wet bar to port and a curving sofa, oval table and additional chairs in the shade, and spotlights in the ceiling ensure that the space is useable, day or night.

INTERIOR
Her latest refit has seen a new interior aesthetic from New York-based designers Redd Kaihoi from New York which brings an impactful high-gloss retro feel to the yacht. Bold blues, greens—and black in the main salon—are paired with original cherry wood panelling, mouldings and trims to create a warm and cosy ambience with a high-end residential feel and custom finishes.

The lower deck hosts the guest and crew accommodation, with the main deck providing a raised pilothouse forward followed by a well-equipped galley to port and a starboard hallway leading down into the formal dining area and main salon, both combined in an open-plan environment. A bar is placed forward to port with a curving sofa, raised table and additional chairs to make a comfortable and intimate place to dine. The main salon has a widescreen TV on the cabinetry and a curving sofa to starboard with two armchairs and an oval coffee table for films and conversation during the journey.

A pair of Caterpillar 3406C DITA Diesel engines of 300 HP each give a top speed of 12 knots and a cruising speed of 10 knots.
