Previously known as Project King Shark, the motor yacht POLARIS hit the water at Rossinavi’s Viareggio-based facility after four years in construction.
Explorer yacht POLARIS was commissioned by a private client whose brief was for an emphasis on the yachting lifestyle, with the ability for the yacht to be equally at home exploring the sub-zero conditions of polar areas as she is cruising in the warm waters of the Caribbean.
She is able to accommodate up to 12 guests across six cabins, as well as 17 crew members. Enrico Gobbi - Team for Design, is behind the sharp exterior looks and an interior that mixes warm and welcoming styling with eclectic decor inspired by the client’s personal tastes.
POLARIS is the masterpiece where lines and elegance boasts the harmony typical of a modern yacht.”
