The 78 metre Eminence was originally built for an American owner as Excellence IV, however she was sold to her current owner before completion. Both the interior and exterior of Eminence were designed by Reymond Langton Design. The five deck yacht with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure features an almost stern wide transom hatch with two of the well proven tender launching systems developed by A&R which allows for smooth launching and recovering even when under way. The draft of Eminence has been reduced to 3.2m allowing access to shallow anchorages especially in the Bahamas. Propelled by two 1492 kW Caterpillars speed will be 16.5 knots. The yacht is built according to Lloyds Register of Shipping and MCA. She is seen here in Gibraltar earlier this week.
