As the shipyard’s longest and largest vessel ever at nearly 2,300 GT, Dragon comes with unique features never seen before on a yacht built by Columbus Yachts. Her 8-metre swimming pool on the sundeck with counter-current function provides a stylish alternative to a dip in the ocean. A 200-square-metre beach club at water level is also on offer while guests can relax in the wellness and spa area on the upper deck. Photo: Palumbo Superyachts
