Characterised by a glass front, the opulent pool sets the standard for luxury onboard and can be accessed via a newly installed staircase. The pool’s interior and exterior was painted in blue with grey accents, giving the water the reflection of the sea below. While the superyacht’s interior aesthetic has been revitalised, the original interior was in excellent condition and consequently the owner has kept at least one piece of furniture in each room, most notably the unique wooden floor. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4509" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SuperYacht Times (Company)">SuperYacht Times</a> takes a closer outlook onboard the contemporary interior design transformation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/288386/image/large-4da0cf782379c89980af75a0c0c52b36.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/288386">Entering the main deck saloon, two new expansive L-shaped sofas are situated on either side of the room, framing the space, neutral tones fuse with blue furnishings to create an inviting ambience onboard.

Much of the furniture within the staterooms has been retained during the refit, while new fabrics cover the wall panels and the wood panels have been repainted. The staterooms feature a neutral colour palette, with luxurious cream furnishings, bright overhead lighting and grey detailing defining the rooms. In addition, the expansive ensuites display an opulent high quality marble.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/288391/image/large-8db62d3a1ae37e1667deb365bb7a736e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/288391">Moving to the upper deck, the club lounge serves as a central gathering space for guests to relax. The lounge houses four large rotating chairs, allowing guests to enjoy a film in cinema-style or create a private space to host games nights. The wood panelling has been modified from high-gloss to a satin finish, enhancing the luxury onboard.
