The Jewel of the Crown

One could expect any less from the flagship of a boatyard and less still from a yacht of more than 25 meters in length. Just a quick glance at the exterior is enough to give us an idea of what this yacht that could be called “the jewel in the crown” of the boatyard represents.

With a fresh and elegant exterior, its appearance of 25 meters softly traps you with its seductive characteristics. The combination of a fresh spirit with the prestige of the brand gives a feeling of both tranquility and adventure. The contrast between the blue and white on the hull is very attractive, but at the same time eye catching and elegant.

The three decks that fill the entirety of this precious machine and habitat are a show of technology, state of the art, design and exclusivity. Wherever you look, there is a detail that makes you remember that you are aboard a luxury yacht. Woods, leather, fabric, audio and video equipment reflect the majestic spirit of the brand.

On the lower deck, there are two distribution options: three cabins with one double bed each or two cabins with beds and two with twin beds. The difference lies in the mid part of the deck where the changes are made; in both options all cabins have their own bathrooms with showers. The skipper’s and crew’s cabins are toward the stern, which have a recreation area.

The social area is located on the main deck and is accessed by a spiral stairway from the lower deck. Leaving this area, we find the bridge with two seats for the helm and the instrument area located to starboard and a sofa and table for four to port. Toward the bow, by the stairway, there is the large and well distributed galley, separated from the dining room by a large bar that makes the area seem larger. The dining room is to starboard and easily accommodates 8 diners.

Here we find one of the stairways that lead to the fly bridge; beyond the dining room is the lounge, which to port, has sofas and chairs for nine people. To starboard, there is a unit and a 42” plasma TV, which is just one of the elements that forms part of the on board entertainment center.

On the exterior of this deck, there is an open air sofa to relax for a while, enjoying the air but protected from the sun by the cover of the fly bridge. The other stairway is here giving access to the next deck.

The fly bridge has two accesses, it you go up through the bow or the outside, there is a sundeck to port and toward the stem there is a space of the “tender launch”; further on we find an exterior table for seven to port and beyond, there is the wet bar and an “L” shaped sofa that serves as a lookout.

In this area, but to starboard, there is the other bridge, but outside, that ahs a chair for the skipper and a crew member and further to starboard, another chair for two just behind the bridge. To the stem, right at the end of the hull, is the swimming platform with a small garage for a wet bike.

It has an almost mystical mixture of features. In conclusion, it is a yacht that boasts all the technological and design benefits that come from the experience of the boatyard in the construction, added to the quality of the materials.
