Accommodations

The beautiful interior shows the fine hand of designer François Zuretti, comprising raised and varnished cherry wood complemented with fine Italian fabrics and marbles. Boarding Mediterranean style at the stern we come aboard via the hydraulically operated passerelle. We then step on to the very spacious teak aft deck where we find a large built-in seating area at the stern with a hi-lo table. To starboard are gently rising stairs to the upper deck, to port is a doorway into the stairway down to the garage, and curved double doors lead us into the main salon.

Elegant Salon

The main salon is finished in beautifully varnished American cherry wood and all the fabrics and marbles are the best that Italy has to offer. Aft is a games area with table and chairs, and a bar area with a marble topped bar, refrigerator and icemaker.

Forward is a spacious seating area with elegant sofas and chairs, facing one of the exceptional features of the yacht, a fully integrated entertainment system with a flat-screen TV upon which not only films from the huge hard disk storage can be watched, but satellite TV, navigation information, and even the internet and e-mail. From here we move forward into the marble floored lobby providing access to and from the large foyer designed for alongside boarding and also having the stairs between all the decks. Big double doors provide access from the deck.

There is also a guest head here. Just to port of the lobby is a large dining salon with an inlaid table and seating for ten. A service door permits serving directly from the galley. The all stainless steel commercially equipped galley has a dumbwaiter to service the two upper decks. There is a crew stairway here permitting the crew access to all the decks without ever disturbing the owner or his guests.

Going forward from the starboard side foyer we enter the very spacious master stateroom via his private and gracious study. This is well furnished with a desk and chairs, flat screen monitor for TV, navigation systems, etc, wireless computer connection, and extensive communication facilities. A great feature here is, like the stateroom, there are large windows right on to the sea providing not only a great view but flooding the study with light.

Moving forward we enter the stateroom proper, which uses the entire beam of the ship. There is a king-sized bed, a spacious lounge area to port, a small breakfast/snack area to starboard directly beside the high windows, the extensive integrated entertainment system with a flat screen TV upon which the owner can call up all the navigation information he might wish, e-mails, films, satellite TV, music through the surround-sound system, or anything else you can think of. Doors port and starboard forward lead into his and her marble bathrooms with a separate toilet room, oversized stall shower, and a huge spa bath.

Returning to the foyer we descend the curved stairs down to the lower deck foyer where we find access to all the guest staterooms plus a guest study where your

Aft are two very large cherry wood panelled double guest staterooms with queen-sized beds, comfortable settees, flat screen integrated entertainment/navigation systems, dressing tables, and marble and cherry wood bathrooms with both a bath and a shower.

The forward two twin guest staterooms are also large and offer extensive wardrobe facilities plus dressing tables and stools, and cherry wood and marble bathrooms with stall showers. Each has a fold-down Pullman berth making an ideal arrangement for an unexpected guest or a child. A door forward in the passageway affords stewardess/housekeeping access so there is no necessity for the crew to pass through the guest area when it is occupied.

Aft of the guest area is the large engine room with the unusual feature of having the main engines, as well as the generators, in sound shield boxes. This permits an unparalleled level of quietness throughout the entire ship. Another innovative feature are the Azimuth drives eliminating the need for rudders and providing a manoeuvring ability unmatched by almost any other yacht. Aft of this is the garage where the custom-built tender is stored and having a hydraulically lowering stern platform with a hot and cold water shower.

Forward with access from the galley is the crew area. Here we find a walk-in refrigerator and freezer room, a laundry room, a spacious crew mess also equipped with the integrated entertainment / navigation / ship’s services system, a very large engineer’s upper and lower berth cabin with a desk, a cook’s upper and lower berth cabin with its own head and shower room, and an upper and lower berth crew cabin also with its own head and shower room. Each of these crew cabins has an integrated flat screen TV and hi-fi system.

On the upper deck foyer there is a short passage with a day guest head opening into the very large sky lounge. Complemented with a full sized marble topped L-shaped bar and games table with chairs to starboard and a large lounge area with sofas and chairs to port.

Double doors open on to the covered lounge and dinning deck beautifully furnished with an extendable round dining table that can seat up to ten. A curved stairway to starboard brings us up to the sun deck and another leads down to the aft deck. Behind the bar in the sky lounge is a crew area with the dumbwaiter. The stairs up from the galley lead to the captain's cabin with a double bed, a desk and chair, a fully integrated hi-fi and flat screen entertainment system, and a roomy bathroom.

Forward is the professional wheelhouse with two pilot seats and an upholstered sofa, and integrated systems with LCD screens for all the equipment including a closed circuit TV security system. Doors each side open to the bridge wings where there are port and starboard manoeuvring stations.

Open aft deckThe sun deck is comfortably large offering a large spa pool aft around which is a big cushioned sunbathing area. To port forward, beneath the mast is a barbecue, and then all the way forward we find a width full bar with stools, a perfect place for an evening drink as the yacht slides through the sea into the sunset. Just forward of this are the separate crew stairs.

In addition, owners and crew members have access to operation & navigation information as well as relevant documentation. The following sub-systems are integrated into the yacht management system:

Monitoring & Control

Data collected from engines, generators, pumps, tanks and other on board sensors & equipment is presented together with alarm information. Using the built-in speech engine, alarms are read aloud as they emerge. Main engine, generators, all pumps, air conditioning, navigation lights, fuel system, blackwater treatment plant, water makers, & power management system are all controlled from the yacht management system.

A customized database keeps track of the precise extent & type of the attached equipment combined with alarm limits & information.

Scheduled maintenance of all components on board is monitored & supervised by the yacht management system. A complete inventory database is integrated as well as a purchase module for ordering spare parts.

Communication

If connected to the internet, guests & crew will have access to the World Wide Web and email from any computer.

Documentation

Documentation, system help, manuals, photos, drawings, parts lists, & other information are easily accessible from any location in the yacht.

Technical overview

Surveillance video & antenna signals for satellite television are distributed on a dedicated coaxial network.

Servers:
Three special purpose servers each play an important role:

The data acquisition & processing server controls the data transfer to & from the input/output modules on the field bus. Data is processed by the server & distributed to all client subscribers.

Our Highest Recommendations

We believe this yacht one of the world’s premier yachts with a finish and interior the equal of any of the finest. Her cruising range is an exceptional one and offers an owner the possibility of visiting all the world’s oceans. In addition, she will take the owner and his guests there in a virtually totally vibration free and noiseless environment as a result of her main engines being in sound shield boxes and flexibly mounted giving a sound level in her saloon of only 55 dB – and this is directly above the engine room!

Her owner’s stateroom does not exceed 50 dB and her guest staterooms a mere 52 dB - a truly exceptional feature of this already superb yacht. Her beautiful Francois Zuretti designed, raised-cherry wood interior cossets you in luxury, and her fabulous sun deck an incredible platform to view the world and the waters and the sunset.

This is life truly at its best that only a privileged few may enjoy.

Her innovations are many-fold including anintegrated ship’s service/navigation/entertainment system allowing you and your guests to each see individually chosen films, or satellite television, or e-mail, or internet, or navigation systems. The captain can post ship location, itinerary and estimated port arrival time which are available to all aboard. The convenience and possibilities are numerous.

The bow thruster and Azimuth drives permit a safe entry into the tightest spot. Once there, the stern platform lowers, and the custom-built tender, fitted with powerful jet drives, can drive straight onto the beach.Private Jet Membership

THIS ROYAL DENSHIP IS A EXCELLENT AND MOST HIGHLY DESIRABLE AND CAPABLE YACHT.

Enjoyment for a privileged few, share from $2.9 Mil.
