The Jon Bannenberg designed superyacht Southern Cross III

Built by the Japanese shipyard Sterling Yachts in 1986, Southern Cross III is one of the most well-known superyachts of her time with her typical Jon Bannenberg styling. Southern Cross III sleeps 15 guests in 5 double, 2 single and 1 triple cabin. With her twin 2,000hp Caterpillar 3512B diesel engines she cruises at 14 knots with a maximum speed of 18 knots. The superyacht’s sun deck was totally renewed in 2005 with a new mast, new Jacuzzi, new shower area and a fully equipped gymnasium. In 2008 a new seating area with two small tables and a large sunbathing area were added on the former helipad.
