EXTERIOR

The main deck aft comes with a C-shaped sofa, two drinks tables and movable chairs to make a comfortable place to rest in the shade. Two stairways lead down to the lower deck swim platform for easy access to the water, and for sunbathing beside the beach club.

The bridge deck aft has a formal dining area to seat all guests, and sofas and drinks tables along the stern make a comfortable place to rest for an aperitif at sundown. The foredeck is accessed via stairways from the main deck, and a C-shaped sofa and casual dining table await guests in front of the helm station. The bow section is used for storing the tender and motorised water toys, which are launched and retrieved using a Davit crane.

Up on the sundeck, the forward section has a large Jacuzzi surrounded by sunbeds. The amidships section is shaded by the hardtop and comes with a bar, an alfresco dining table to serve 12, a comfortable sofa to starboard and sun loungers along the stern.

INTERIOR

On the lower deck, the crew accommodation, mess and laundry facilities are forward followed by the guest accommodation, then the engine room aft of amidships and the beach club and wellness centre in the stern. The wellness facilities are placed along the port side with a day head to starboard and a chaise-lounger, two armchairs and a coffee table creating a casual place to relax in the shade close to the sea.

The main deck places the Master suite forward with the galley and service stairway to port and the main foyer, day head and guest stairway to starboard. The formal dining area is immediately behind and seats all 12 guests around a grand table, and the main salon places a corner sofa, two armchairs and a coffee table to port and a widescreen TV opposite.

The bridge deck layout places the helm controls forward with the VIP stateroom behind to starboard and the Captain’s cabin behind to port along with the galley. The central stairway is between the galley and the starboard day head, and the aft skylounge has a forward wet bar, a TV, two armchairs and a coffee table to port and an elongated sofa/daybed and coffee table to starboard.

Twin MTU 8V 4000 M63 IMO Tier-III engines give a top speed of 15.5 knots and a range of 4,500 nautical miles at 13 knots.
