At the heart of the 2,300 GT concept is the open main deck called Agora, named after the public square and centre of life in Ancient Greece.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/288130/image/large-1ab3f59c94def976e280742c453f6778.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/288130">“One of the greatest gifts of the Mediterranean civilization to the modern world is the ethos for outdoor living and alfresco dining, known to contribute to well-being.

Her glass staircase allows for uninterrupted views, and acts as a visual anchor. The open approach also allows the design to outlive trends and fashions of the moment and to change during the yacht’s life, just like the entire vessel herself.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/288128/image/large-1d7ca7836a04f9429143e98342c79d40.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/288128">Below the Agora deck are two decks of private spaces with an open layout configuration.
