Hybrid series of new-generation 70m+ support yachts released by Nick Stark
To mark the opening of the studio Nick Stark Design, the Australian firm has released a series of new-generation shadow-vessels named the Constellation Series.

This concept has allowed for spaces to be optimised, providing new recreation opportunities and the possibility of chartering services specifically for shadow vessels.
The largest of the series, the 75-metre Aquila, provides guests with an expansive beach club, wellness centre, disco and a fully-stocked toy store.Photo: Nick Stark
