Her light and serene interiors are accentuated by the full height windows throughout the main and upper decks, a characteristic feature of the series’ exterior by Monaco-based studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/82" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Espen Øino International (Company)">Espen Øino International</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/282895/image/large-13b1ce23db20b062c4f918676f749025.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/282895"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/282904/image/large-a04370e7ca37f8f3d432b96faf9cf0b8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/282904"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8657" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Entourage60.0m (196'10&quot;)Amels2023">Entourage</a> features a spacious and elegant main saloon, accessed from the aft deck by double sliding doors. On entering the space, guests are met on either side by curved floor-to-ceiling cabinets that immediately soften the entryway and set the tone for the entire interior. A custom oval table for 10 guests sits in the centre of the entrance, leading through to the lounge where rounded chairs and a long curved sofa are situated on a velvety rug in bright opal tones. Contemporary standing lamps, blown glass sculptures and rounded tables all complement the furnishings and natural forms that create a calm feeling and flow to the interior design.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/282914/image/large-142f0a59abb6eba7a49830631f06f61d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/282914">There is a clear creation transition and connectedness to nature which was a key feature of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/82" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Espen Øino International (Company)">Espen Øino’s</a> exterior design, and the extensive use of glazing and wrap-around decks with side access to the saloon enhance this effect.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/282898/image/large-8603cf8b6f97f2bd5e10d37bbb4ba5fe.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/282898" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">&nbsp;The spatial playfulness introduced in the main saloon continues through the flow of the superyacht, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6415" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Burdifilek (Company)">Burdifliek</a> made the unusual decision to reverse the structure of the central staircase, tucking away the construction and opening up the space. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/282903/image/large-33f4e0117b50e5a40bb95886ea498ba7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/282903" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8657" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Entourage60.0m (196'10&quot;)Amels2023">Entourage</a> can accommodate as many as 12 guests, with an extra large master suite on the main deck featuring a fold-down balcony, lounge, full beam bathroom and a neighbouring VIP suite.

When first stepping aboard the yacht, guests are welcomed by mirrored stairs that lead up to a spacious aft deck. Steps to the port side lead to the upper aft deck, which is banked to the rear by curved sofas that wrap around the back railing. This deck also has a large round dining table for her 12 guests to enjoy a semi-alfresco meal in privacy. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/282885/image/large-52022b908493cc9200c81e0fd00623aa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/282885">The lengthened sundeck has a large Jacuzzi, bar with barbecue, dining area, and an L-shaped lounge amidships.
