In the majority view, this was the yacht the judges said they would choose for their own holidays. Not only solidly built, it also offered a well-considered layout and extremely spacious and practical living areas, both inside and out. Its large sundeck boasts all the necessary amenities for outdoor living including a spa pool, bar, relaxed seating, sun loungers and casual dining. Optimal use is also made of the foredeck which offers two possibilities: underway, it has settee seating and sunbeds, but when the tender stored beneath is launched and the decking is folded back, the empty tender bay can be filled with water to create a 6.6-metre by 2.6-metre pool with counter current. This forward garage location has allowed the stern to be filled with a huge 62.5-square-metre beach club lit through four glass skylights, plus a full-beam gym. This area can be made even more spacious and airy by the two fold-down side platforms, while providing excellent connectivity with the sea for water sports.

For the balance achieved between the development of tall decks and determination to maintain a dynamic design. For the quality of the design’s spaces, each tailored to providing exceptional liveability even while at sea. The distinct style of the model’s interior furnishings is also worthy of note.
