Constructed with an aluminium hull and superstructure, she features a beam of 8.89-metres and a draft of 2.33-metres. Her distinctive low-profile silhouette is characterised by clean lines, expansive glazing and an uncluttered look.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397167/image/large-b141990b85e5a1cc3403090a05a024dd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397167"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397169/image/large-4e688af92b30a4582f0b0fbb18366c98.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397169">According to the shipyard, the yacht is designed around openness, light and a direct relationship with the marine environment. This philosophy is most evident within her main saloon, where floor-to-ceiling windows and an open-plan arrangement place the sea at the centre of the onboard experience.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397170/image/large-e99cd323156182c88f6b2afeba609cb3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397170"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397172/image/large-6e383fb85357aabdfd4ca3322b4ee657.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397172">Moreover, her interiors embrace a calm and contemporary approach, featuring a neutral palette intended to complement, rather than compete with, the surrounding scenery.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397171/image/large-62a5e66c76c69c3b4b42d76f20dd4f28.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397171">Moving outside, the cockpit’s raised seating descends towards the aft swim platform, creating a seamless connection to the water. This sense of space is further enhanced by drop-down side wings that broaden the deck.
