The recently sold superyacht can cruise for three months at a time without visiting a port or bunker station and boasts a range of 4,500 nautical miles. 
Her sporty exterior style includes a large raised saloon with a pilothouse forward, twin helm stations, a customised transom that converts into a platform suitable for swimming and fishing. While spending time outdoors, guests can make use of the toy store and its sports/dive gear and the cockpit dining and lounge area with retractable bimini.
Inside, the traditional interior decor is made up of gloss cherry wood which covers the light-filled upper saloon and a lower saloon. Up to eight guests can reside in four staterooms.
In terms of performance, Aphrodite A is kitted out with captive winches and carbon rig with in-boom mainsail furling and can reach a top speed of up to 13 knots.
