Her eclectic interior is the work of Autoban. The main saloon is stylishly finished and leads out onto the exterior deck where two fold-down balconies await. The wooden-hulled yacht is engineered by Ginton Naval Architects in the Netherlands, and measures nine metres across, drawing only 2,5 metres. Powered by twin CAT C32 1450 hp engines, Aquarius is able to reach a top speed of 15 knots.
