EXTERIOR

The main deck aft is mostly shaded by the upper deck overhang, providing a cool lounging area to enjoy the fresh sea breeze. The sun-exposed stern is lined with sunbeds, which join into C-shaped sofa seating at the centre for comfort and convenience. A stairway leads down both sides of the stern to the beach club and fold-down swim platform, which creates a generous outdoor area for sunbathing and lounging beside the sea.

The upper deck aft is furnished with a covered alfresco dining area and a sun-drenched aft section filled with three over-sized armchairs and a sofa around two coffee tables. The foredeck area is used for storing the water toys and tender, which are safely launched and retrieved using a Davit crane.

The sundeck offers an abundance of sunbathing space, with sun loungers along the aft section and the forward sunbeds surrounding the Jacuzzi tapering off into sofa seating near the centre. The alfresco dining and lounging area is placed under the shade of the hardtop, with flavoursome meals and drinks produced on the grill and at the bar.

INTERIOR

The interiors from British studio Reymond Langton Design feature crisp white walls and teak decking, with accents in blue and green ranging in tone throughout the rooms to add character to each space.

The beach club is a wonderfully light and welcoming environment, offering guests and visitors a place to relax beside the water out of the sun. The bar will provide refreshments while guests take in the views from the two armchair/loungers, with a drinks table beside each for convenience.

In the main salon, the formal dining area consists of 10 plush chairs in white and cream detailing, surrounding a large table. The main salon aft features an aft-facing chaise-lounger and a sofa to port, with additional armchairs to create a cosy conversation area.

The skylounge has a serene atmosphere ideal for laidback conversation and winding down at the end of a busy day: A curving sofa and armchairs are placed around a coffee table, and a widescreen TV mounted on the wall will entertain along with the latest sound systems while drinks are served at the wet bar.

A pair of MTU 8V4000 M63 engines provide a top speed of 15 knot and a cruising speed of 13 knots, at which she is capable of a range of 3,800 nautical miles.
