Construction

Expertly engineered with a GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) hull and superstructure, this build blends exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and weight efficiency to enhance performance, comfort, and long-term durability at sea.

Dimensions

Commanding in presence yet purposefully efficient, this yacht presents a length overall of 97.00 feet (29.60 meters), a molded beam of 20.98 feet (6.40 meters), and a loaded draft of 4.50 feet (1.40 meters), with a registry of 118 gross tons.
