Design & Construction

Designed around a GRP hull and superstructure she features a 8.52m beam and a 2.19m draft. The yacht is built over 3 decks with an internal volume of 450 GT (Gross Tonnes).

Exterior Design

The exterior design of Perfect Persuasion features a raked bow that cuts through the water efficiently. The deck is made from high-quality teak, providing both durability and a classic appearance. The hull is painted a striking blue, while the superstructure is finished in crisp white, offering a pleasing contrast. A distinctive red boot top stripe adds a touch of character above the black paint below the waterline.

One distinctive aspect of the yacht is the stowage position for the tenders. Rather than utilizing a stern garage or foredeck stowage, the tenders are placed on the aft portion of the sun deck. This decision maximizes guest space on the main and bridge decks and is feasible due to the yacht's lightweight composite superstructure. Soft-sided RIBS are used as tenders, solving the launch and stability issues associated with this high location.

The sun deck is equipped with an inbuilt spa pool, barbecue, bar, and ample sun cushions, served by a dumb waiter from the galley. The bridge deck features formal dining for up to 12 and three distinct seating areas set against the aft rail, with the center one circular in shape and a glass screen for improved visibility. The main deck aft offers a shaded area with both loose and built-in furniture. Additionally, a sunbathing area forward of the bridge provides privacy when the yacht is stern-to in harbor.

Interior Design

Perfect Persuasion's interior design is characterized by a modern yet classic style, reflecting a careful balance of materials and meticulous attention to detail. The entrance hall is a wide-open atrium that spans three decks, featuring varnished walls of bevel-edged mahogany blocks and stainless steel handrails. The dining saloon, located just beyond the atrium, utilizes an octagonal layout to maintain intimacy, supported by subtle lighting and strategically placed cabinets and sideboards.

The family saloon, often referred to as the library, is brightly lit through tall windows and furnished with comfort in mind. The room includes false leather-bound bookcases that conceal the television and technical areas, adding an element of practicality. The main saloon, situated on the bridge deck, continues this theme with a blend of patterns, materials, and textures. Noteworthy elements include a gilded cabinet behind a black granite-topped bar and a versatile circular table that expands to accommodate various activities. Opening the doors to the deck transforms this space into an indoor-outdoor living area with dining and lounging options.

Accommodation

Perfect Persuasion offers accommodation for up to 10 guests in five suites comprising an owners cabin and four double cabins. The master suite is situated on the main deck and is accessed through a private study. This suite features a lighter, more spacious ambiance with pale creams and whites dominating the color scheme, contrasted by a large floral mural on the aft bulkhead. The master suite includes a dressing room that leads into a bathroom adorned with onyx and gold fittings. This bathroom is equipped with a large Jacuzzi bath, while an adjoining second bathroom offers a shower.

She is also capable of carrying up to 11 crew onboard to ensure a relaxed luxury yacht experience.
