The result is a yacht with strong charter potential and a specification that equips her as a capable world cruiser.

The full-beam owner’s suite, positioned on the main deck just forward of the main foyer and day head and accessed via a private starboard-side office, is a serene retreat featuring a hand-crafted walk-around king-size bed, walk-in closets, large windows, plush carpeting, a vanity and abundant storage. The his-and-hers master head is exquisitely finished, with a central shower and bath clad in Onice Orange for the walls and floor, framed in Emperador Chiaro, creating a warm, luxurious sanctuary that is expansive, airy and impeccably detailed.

Guest accommodation is reached from the main foyer by a sweeping spiral staircase that leads to a striking marble guest foyer. Wrought-iron railings adorn black granite stair treads with plush carpet inlays, all softly illuminated by recessed indirect lighting. Forward, the VIP suite would serve as a master on many yachts of similar size, complete with its own marble-finished foyer, a king-size bed with a hand-crafted silk headboard, generous space throughout, and an ensuite marble-finished head with shower and bathtub. Two additional cabins feature queen berths, while two more offer twin single berths; all are well appointed with ensuite heads, entertainment systems and plentiful storage. A butler’s pantry with laundry further enhances service, enabling the crew to discreetly attend to guests’ needs at any hour.

Crew quarters are situated aft, accessed either through a watertight door from the swim platform or via the port-side main deck companionway. Three cabins each accommodate two crew, all equipped with TVs and ensuite heads. The well-designed crew mess features stainless appliances, granite countertops and a dedicated laundry area with a stainless stacked washer and dryer, while convenient access to the main engine room is located just forward. The captain’s ensuite cabin and office are positioned on the bridge deck aft of the bridge, ensuring swift communication and command.

Generous seating at the bar, along the starboard side and across the forward end of the deck invites long, sun-drenched afternoons and lively evenings under the stars.

Above the main deck, accessed via the main foyer staircase, the bridge deck brings together the sky lounge, pilothouse and captain’s cabin/office. The sky lounge is an inviting sanctuary with panoramic windows, a full bar, a gaming table, a day head and a cozy sitting area that invites relaxation, movie nights or quiet conversation. Through electric sliding doors, the aft deck reveals an elegant entertaining space with a sun pad, seating area and barbecue—ideal for dining, savoring a quiet cocktail or basking in the sun while taking in the view. Forward of the sky lounge and bridge deck foyer lies the wheelhouse, a large, open and airy command center, extensively equipped and featuring external wing stations accessed through wheelhouse doors to port and starboard. Guests can settle on the settee to observe the workings of the yacht while underway. Aft and to port are the ship’s office and the captain’s cabin with ensuite head. Forward through the wheelhouse doors, the companionway encircles the Portuguese Bridge and leads to the foredeck, where U-shaped seating areas with twin tables sit to port and starboard of the main companionway—an exceptional vantage point for a cocktail and the view when anchored in a secluded haven.
