The square deck design provides generous spaces and volume while also allowing an optimised layout for the interiors, namely for a spacious galley, living room and relaxation areas on the main deck alongside an open-air flybridge.

Large openings connect exteriors and interiors, integrating natural light and the sea element into the design.” he added.
