The interior of the main saloon has been designed with huge windows and doors, which can be opened and balconies tilted out onto the sides to form a huge terrace with unobstructed views.
Inside, the emphasis is on making the master suite as spacious and comfortable as possible, in keeping with the larger yachts. To make the layout more flexible they have managed to transform one of the VIP suites into two standard ones.
The interior is fresh, elegant and minimalist. The priority is given to natural colors and light. Several types of marble, eucalyptus and American walnut are used in the decor. The use of bright leather and metal details, wool carpets and luxurious textiles adds warmth to the interior. All wood is FSC certified, and the leather is treated with special non-toxic paint.
