Interior

As Nick walked aboard, he noted the quietness of the yacht, a result of the owner's sensitivity to noise, which led to the installation of four air conditioning chillers instead of the typical two. Nick was delighted by the analog music system that featured a vintage record player and wireless, generating a pure analog sound.

The interior showcased the personal style of the owner and his wife, with a blend of luxury and homeliness. The owner has put an emphasis on the yacht being about the journey, not just the destination, ensuring comfort at sea, anchor, or harbor. The attention to detail was evident in the galley, which was equipped with a sophisticated extractor fan system that maintained the air pressure to eliminate cooking smells effectively.

The Japanese-inspired owner's suite reflected the Japanese heritage of the owner's wife. The suite was serene and featured high-quality woodwork, a vintage typewriter, modern iPad controls, and a Japanese toilet. Special attention was given to soundproofing and discreet ventilation in the en suite bathroom, with fans ducted through mufflers for near-silent operation.

The yacht's guest cabins displayed vintage Japanese art and silk prints, maintaining the high standards seen throughout the yacht. The yacht's refit also included eco-friendly aspects, with the owner pointing out that refurbishing the yacht was more environmentally friendly than building a new one.

On the technical side, Nick admired the up-to-date pilot house designed for optimal visibility and ease of access to instruments. The flybridge was enclosed and air-conditioned, providing a cozy spot for entertainment with a rising TV and updated controls.

On Deck

Nick also highlighted the owner's practical decisions, such as replacing a hot tub with additional storage space on the boat deck. The tender and jet ski were impressive, capable of high speeds and served by a substantial crane.

Crew Accommodation

An unexpected aspect was the parity for the crew members. The owner redesigned the yacht to provide spacious and high-quality living areas for the crew, matching the standards of the guest areas. The crew quarters included a large open area, a well-appointed galley, and comfortable cabins with fine detailing, such as vintage-style taps.

Performance

The engine room was another point of pride, well-maintained with zero-hour standard MTU engines, providing 24 knots at full speed and a 2,000-mile range at cruising speed. The yacht was equipped with systems like fuel polishing and water purification, ensuring quality water throughout the yacht.

In Summary

Nick's tour concluded with a sense of admiration for the owner's vision and passion that was poured into the yacht. The thorough refit combined luxury, personal style, and functionality, making the yacht a testament to the owner's commitment to quality and comfort.
