Naval architecture of the converted vessel was the responsibility of McFarlane Ship Design,

whereas Philippe Briand was in charge of her exterior, and Veerle Battiau, director of studio’s motor

yacht division Vitruvius, was responsible for her exterior as well as interior.

The structural changes were aimed at bringing as much light as possible into her interiors. The

portholes were enlarged, skylights added and a new upper deck saloon was created with wrap around

windows.

The master cabin is located forward of the upper saloon, boasting wraparound windows for plenty of

light and brightness and a massive, subdivided skylight above the bed. Aft, the ensuite features an

elegant bathroom, with two sinks, hammam, and open shower. The master cabin also has a

comfortable office located further back.

The funnels situated to the rear of the upper saloon have been incorporated into the new design. The

promenade on the bridge deck joins the funnels and creates a roof, providing a vast shaded area,

leading to the spa pool, as well as to the extended aft deck and the Helipad.Two tenders can be launched from the main deck aft using cranes. There are also two 4x4 vehicles

accommodated in this area. The decking is from Bolidt Future Teak, a resin imitation teak used for

environmental reasons, together with the low-consumption LED lighting used throughout the boat.

Guest accommodation and the dining saloon are found on the main deck, together with the gym/spa.

Each guest cabin is beautifully styled and themed for a particular continent. The main deck palette

includes wine tones, bright berries, and browns. Contemporary elements were also integrated into the

styling, such as white leather, mirrors, and modern en-suite bathrooms. The upper saloon features

taupe and moss greens as well as African woods.

A powerful, well-built vessel, fitted with two 3,000 hp engines powering her up to a

speed of 18 knots. Her full tank capacity is 220 cubic meters, providing her with an impressive range
