A small great luxury

A brief glimpse at the outside of this motor yacht gives us an idea of why I decided to entitle this article “A Small Great Luxury”. For amateurs and the not very observant, it is mere- ly another launch that floats on the sea, a question that on understanding and deciphering what to our eyes is much clearer thanks to the length and the height of this vessel that lets us clearly see that it is not one of the “small” members of the range that is generally focused on water sports.

The interior shows off good taste and in the wisdom to make maximum use of the space aboard, using contrasts between the fabrics and wood to create a very pleasant atmosphere, caus- ing a feeling of tranquility and space, as well as excellent light thanks to the use of light colors.

Retiring to the matter of wisdom, it is evident that the distribution has been well achieved since the yacht has three cabins with private bathroom, plus the crew’s cabin in the stem. The owner’s cabin also in stem, has a double bed, a complete bathroom to port, with a double his and hers basin and opposite, to starboard, a complete dressing room.

Towards the stern, we arrive at the main lounge, where we find the galley to port and opposite, starboard, the dining area. Following our tour, we find the two guests’ cabins; on to port with twin bunks and the other to starboard, which has a double bed.

The crew’s cabin is located in the stern, just behind the engine room and has all the amenities necessary for good relaxation.

The exterior of this vessel is the living sample of something stylized and conceived to be beautiful as well as practical. The designers placed themselves very well in the role of the owner and the guests since on the outer deck, they can enjoy the view protected by the windshield, meals can be cooked thanks to the wetbar and enjoyed in the spacious lounge, which has a folding table and besides enjoying the handling and maneuverability of the vessel and watching the skipper do his job.

The sofas are a feast for the eyes and touch, the details chromed with the logo of the boatyard on the backrests that make the line between elegant and petulant very diffuse. The finishing through- out the length and beam of this yacht are first class. All the rope ways and the mooring equip- ment have a defined place and are perfectly con- cealed so they don’t look untidy.

The curves are subtle. Basically it is a vessel composed of straight lines connected to form curves, including the holding roof that combines with the exterior without being flashy, but does protect deliciously particularly when the sun shines in its entire splendor. Another detail that the designers tried to “hide” or “imitate” the ele- ments of the wetbar grille making it aesthetically neutral and at the same time a useful space when it is not being used for the purpose for which it was conceived.
