The choice materials, such as different woods and marbles from the Middle East, played a fundamental role in the choice of other decorative materials like woven carpets, and handmade glass and Swarovski. The owner’s cabin is located on the bridge deck, and can be reached by a private elevator. Talal reaches a maximum speed of 27 knots, and cruises at 24 knots. She is powered by twin 3.654 hp 16VM90 MTU diesels.

Commenting on the boat show Francesco Carbone, Tecnomar Sales Director stated: “The number of visitors was quite interesting, and I must admit, unexpected. I was surprised, not only by the number of people who attended the show, but also the diversity and quality. The potential of Lebanese market remains remarkable”.
