Design & Construction
Designed around a displacement aluminium hull and superstructure she features a 9m beam and a 2.5m draft. The yacht is built over 3 decks with an internal volume of 497 GT (Gross Tonnes).
Launched in January 2015 this yacht undertook sea trials over the following months. She was delivered to her owners in February 2015.
Exterior Design
Sibelle's silhouette is akin to a layered structure culminating in a plumb bow, presenting an elegant and streamlined appearance. The yacht's surfaces are finished in a clean white color above the waterline, with a contrasting black below. One of the striking features of Sibelle is the extensive use of glass panels, particularly noticeable from the beach platform. These panels not only enhance the visual appeal but also allow natural light to flood the interior spaces, creating an inviting atmosphere.
The main deck aft and the upper deck aft offer substantial exterior socializing areas. The upper deck aft includes a sizable wooden table and built-in seating with heating elements, ensuring comfort even on cooler days. Glass panels on both sides provide additional shelter from the wind, allowing for a more enjoyable outdoor experience.
The sun deck, positioned at the highest point guests can access, provides 360-degree views, making it an ideal spot for relaxation. It includes large sun pads, a height-adjustable wooden table, a teppanyaki grill, and a fridge. The area is also equipped with a DJ booth, which can be set up for entertainment purposes.
On the foredeck, Sibelle houses two tenders that can be lifted out to free up space for additional activities. The bulwarks can be folded down to extend the space, offering unobstructed views and a larger area for social gatherings.
Interior Design
The main salon features extensive teak paneling, providing a natural and warm aesthetic. This space includes a service area with essential amenities such as an ice maker and refrigerator. There are also two bar stools creating a small bar area, which can be removed if desired. The seating arrangement includes an L-shaped sofa, which, like other soft furnishings, can be easily reconfigured or removed.
The Sky Lounge includes a fully operational service area with marble countertops, an ice maker, and a refrigerator. The floor here is covered by a soft, silky-smooth carpet, offering a comfortable walking experience. The Sky Lounge maintains the same design elements seen throughout the yacht, with leather-clad ceilings and comprehensive AV equipment. The furnishings in this space include an L-shaped couch and two additional seats.
In the bridge, you will find mostly standard navigational equipment relevant to a yacht of this size and age, including satellite communication, radar, depth sounders, and engine parameter displays. The bridge also features a bench for observers to watch the captain maneuver the yacht.

Sibelle offers accommodation for up to 10 guests in five well-appointed cabins. The guest cabins are located on the lower deck and include three double cabins and one twin cabin. Each of these cabins features temperature control for personalized comfort, leather-clad ceilings, wood paneling, and full AV equipment, including TV screens and surround sound systems.
The master suite is situated on the main deck and is a spacious, full-beam suite that ensures a luxurious stay for the owner.
