The main deck aft is designed for alfresco dining, allowing guests to enjoy meals outdoors. The side balcony extends the living space, offering additional outdoor seating and lounging areas.
A notable feature is the Lloyds-certified helideck, which includes a refueling station. This addition ensures that helicopter operations are safe and efficient. The exterior also includes ample tender storage and space for diving equipment, catering to various recreational needs.
The hull is distinguished by its raked bow, enhancing its hydrodynamic efficiency and contributing to smoother navigation through various sea conditions. The hull's aluminium material is finished with Awlcraft 2000, providing a sleek and polished surface. The hull is coloured blue, complemented by a white superstructure and a gold boot top, creating a visually coherent and striking appearance. Below the waterline, the hull is coated in black, offering a sharp contrast to the vibrant blue above.

The main salon offers a relaxed environment with sound insulation for noise reduction, ensuring a quiet setting. The high-tech entertainment Kaleidoscope system is integrated into the living spaces, providing options for leisure and entertainment. Forward to port, a circular dining table serves as a focal point for meals. The interior materials include high-quality wood and fabrics that enhance a sense of understated sophistication.
The galley is state-of-the-art, equipped with advanced appliances including a steamer, an instant freezer, and an artisan ice cream maker. A notable feature is the barbecue grill adjacent to oyster and lobster tanks, offering the opportunity for fresh seafood preparation.
The cockpit can be fully enclosed and air-conditioned, transforming into a winter garden when needed. This versatile space adds to the overall utility and comfort of the yacht.
